   So true. We can’t wish away our past, can we?

   ouch… that was too close to reality for comfort 😉 aptly put.
   I’m honoured (am old-fashioned at handling praise – I can’t handle it at all!) and likewise choose to reciprocate. That and the fact that neon’s my shade of wisdom as well. Which is why I’m least likely to get wise.

   D: I’m not even sure if I’d want to wish any of mine away. Maybe some really ugly parts, but then again, they’ve come in handy too, post-datedly.

   Amrita: At least now you have immunity. 🙂

   Manju: Easy does it! Down, boy!

   Nino’s Mum: …and which is why the tongue-in-cheek title of this blog. 😉 Welcome.

   Gooddaysunshine: I wasn’t planning on writing about it, although I’ve been walking around town gushing like a lovestruck teenager. You can read a bit here:

   On a somewhat related note, I saw Mahabanoo Mody Kotwal at my uncle’s book launch on Friday and exercised great restraint in not walking up to her and asking her why The Vagina Monologues were being cancelled in Chennai every single time. The poor Chennaiites seem to get left out of all the best performances!

   Ah. You’re uncle’s book launch..I’m incredibly sorry and I’m not sure if I should be asking but who is the uncle and what is the book (please do feel free to say keep your long nose out of my life!)

   And you saw Mody! I’d love to know if those conspiracy theories have truth to them! Though the logic does evade me…to schedule and cancel shows just to be able to put in a punchline into a play seems rather drastic to me!

   And yeah a Zubin Mehta concert happened here a few years back, but I was an impoverished student then and couldnt really make it. Someday!

   gooddaysunshine: Oh no need to be sorry. 🙂 He’s Gieve Patel, poet and playwright, and he just released Mister Behram and Other Plays. It thrills me because so much of my family’s physical/geographic history forms the background.

   I greatly enjoy and seriously doubt conspiracy theories, and this one seems waaaaay out there. 😉

    The word ‘gingerly’
    Is operational for me
    And not for me just the ‘stick’
    Barge-pole’d rather do the trick
    And decades, instead of ‘years’, more likely!
