    Gaali girls (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Nixon created ‘Expletives Deleted’. Trump patented ‘Expletives Repeated’. But we Bharatiyas are shudh shakahari in bhasha. Our men are entitled to leeway, but our girls have to be sattvik, never slutvik. However, being more evolved than the decadent, short-haired West, we forgive the misled, especially the missled. As borne out by last weekend’s magnanimous response to the Cockyroaches. But, not everyone is on the same script. After patriotically excising all traces of colonialism, are we now to

    Belly belly silly (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Why shouldn’t I channel my inner halwaii? ‘Belly-fat reduction’ is what a reader added to ‘anti-ageing’ and ‘gut-health’, the snake oils I scoffed at last week. Yes, tricks for tummy-suck always find suckers. Me included. Unlike Odysseus aka Matt Damon, I was unable to resist the sirens’ song. This one kept calling out from online ‘islands’, seducing me with washboard-stomach bliss in ‘30 seconds’. And, like those ancient mariners, I was driven to death – by boredom. Combining concern, compassio

    Ill-feelings on ‘wellness’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    ‘Anti-ageing’, and ‘gut health’ are the new snake-oils. Being peddled by the slickest salesman of our times, the ‘wellness’ industry. Dangle either of these baits, and we fall for it, hook, line and sucker. It’s just old stuff but with a ‘wearable’. The search for the ‘elixir of youth’ once rivalled that for the ‘philosopher’s stone’. If that was the Vedic paras patthar, every ‘Ayush’ system linked all health to the poth-ar, stomach. The ancients bowed to the bowel. So did my father who pushed m

    Home is where? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The news refuses to go away even when you think you’ve got away. The first visual at London’s Museum of the Home’ was of ‘Bunoo’, an ayah brought to England from Calcutta in 1878 ‘to look after the Stevenson family’s children during the long voyage’, and then sent packing. ‘Deported’ was nowhere in the text, but throughout my afternoon there, similar headlines from back home kept echoing inside my head. Built in 1924 over a cluster of 14 early 18th-century alms houses, the museum began capturing

    No tree is an island… (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    ‘I think that I shall never see/ A poem lovely as a tree.’ – Joyce Kilmer Mumbai has turned more prosaic –because of the very monsoon which once stirred such sublime poetry. Meghdoot to mega-death. This time’s apocalypse claimed 830 city trees in its first fortnight compared to 855 during the entire 2025 season, 500 last Monday alone. The biggest victim is the gulmohur whose orange flames had both matched and countered the blaze of that unending summer. Its roots spread outward like its canopy,
