Important Catnip PSAs

Not even once.

I’m a woman. I think. I hate. I lie. I cheat. I’m not a virgin....

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:04:40 +0530

I’m a woman. I think. I hate. I lie. I cheat. I’m not a virgin. I’m not a whore. Because, you know, women aren’t either virgins or whores – they are a complex mix of both. We have vices and virtues. We are not White or Black, we are fifty thousand shades of grey. We are complex. We are human. We have urges, as natural as yours.

Sometimes, we don’t have them too. You cannot police us. We do not owe anything to you. You do not own us. We are beautiful, we are ugly. We are saints, we are murderers. We are everything; we can be everything, a complex mix of everything.

Accept it; deal with it, live with it.

Because I dared to speak about Salman Khan’s hypocritical statements regrading the Delhi gang-rape case, a few of his fan are currently abusing me on twitter, saying things like ‘you don’t have to be a keyboard warrior, you won’t get raped looking like that’ & ‘the bitch wishes Salman’s fans would rape her’ & the only logical reaction I can have to their statements is LOLWTF

Good Days & Bad Days - Diary

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:29:05 +0530

(this is a personal post, part diary part self-examination. It may very well bore you, so feel free to skip!)

In recent times I’ve often wonder why people get depressed. Not people, but me. In the second part of this year I had quite a few ‘low’ days. It probably wasn’t full-blown depression but it still felt pretty crappy. I know the causative factors for some of them - illness (even really minor stuff like a cold), friends who love drama, even PMS. But those don’t attribute for all of the days. Somedays I just felt low & I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why.

Yesterday I started the day very early & one of the first things I did was find + buy this song & play it about 10 times. A couple of hours later I fished out some picture-postcards I bought from Jaipur & started to write / stamp / decorate a few (to be sent all over soon). These two simple, almost silly things made me so happy. A few hours after that I got a courier - Grazia sent a couple of cool skincare products because I won a contest - by this time I was positively euphoric.

Then came a nap & after I woke up I went to meet a lovely photographer Tana who was born in India, grew up in LA (she contacted me via my blog). I almost wanted to blow her off at the last minute because ever since I’ve started working for home, I feel like I’ve become so much more socially awkward (almost social phobic). But in the end that was why I told myself I have to go. After I left home most of the anxiety melted away & my head cleared during the walk there (yep, luckily our meeting place was close to home). I thought I would be a bit late but I ended up having to wait at the restaurant for over half an hour (not her fault, she didn’t anticipate the traffic). But there I met with a elderly Gujarati man who was there to meet her dad, & he crossed questioned me a lot & told me about himself too (he’s worked in the same company for 40+ years).

Then when she came we talked about India, blogs, food, photography, travel & lot more. She was bubbly & delightful, I left a little later feeling so glad I didn’t cancel.

Today went particularly well too. Slept in, worked, got two parcels (Christmas gifts I bought for mom & a gift & card from an internet friend). Then an mid-day I got to know that I have to leave for Goa in three days, just seven days after coming back from Jaipur. I’m missing two weddings (one of them is of a pretty good friend) & a work event & now even though my stress levels have not only hit but crossed the roof, I’m still feeling pretty good. So this was a chronicle of two, simple good days. This is something I’d like to come back & read one or five years from now.

I’m not very big on the whole Christmas spirit thing, but this is one song I’ll happily listen to at this time of the year. It’s traditional / saccharine as hell, but I don’t care because it’s SO BEAUTIFUL :’)

Sometimes being self-employed is hard

Thu, 22 Nov 2012 14:31:00 +0530

But I bet you knew that already, right?

Now don’t get my wrong, I chose this. I wouldn’t trade it in for any other job, ever. I love the freedom & independence it lets me have.

But everytime someone says they envy me, I want to tell them, “It’s not as glamorous as it looks.”

I work a hard. A lot. I hardly sleep anymore, when I do it’s during the day (because I love doing work related all-nighters). My nocturnal schedule means I find it difficult to photograph stuff (HEY, I LIKE NATURAL LIGHT & I’M ALWAYS SLEEPING IN THE DAY!)

But you want to know the kicker? When I got sick with dengue, I was actually sick for all of 10 days (three of them were spent in the hospital). And then I had to rest for another two-three weeks, to make sure I didn’t get a relapse. To make sure my platelet count & blood pressure were back to normal. All of my work has suffered. As a freelance, there’s no sick leave. You get paid for how much work you do.

Just a few minutes back I got a slightly angry email from someone I’ve been collaborating with for a while. It is my fault, because I kept pushing the date (because I didn’t feel up for it). Now I have two days. At this point, I guess other people would cry but I’m just upset + slightly angry + overwhelmed.

And you want to know something even worse? I leave for a 10 day holiday to Jaipur in a week. I know I should be happy about that because Jaipur is exciting & I’ve never been there before. But the only thing I can think of is whether I’ll have internet access there. And of course I’m scrambling to get maximum stuff done before I leave. I could go on & on about this, but to summarise this post- too much work. Life feels hard & unfair. I feel tired, both mentally & physically.

{I know that life doesn’t owe anyone good health. But sometimes you just need to write a post full of self pity to realize how pathetic it is. I’m thankful to be alive. I’m thankful to get my health back (albeit slowly). I’m thankful to have work to do. Happy Thanksgiving, guys.}
