Re: Why Indians bloggers need to get angry

mumbaigirl — Tue, 04 Apr 2006 10:18:57 -0000

Barbara, I am Indian and blog in English because that is the language I am most comfortable in.

Fortunately, the number of bloggers blogging in the different Indian languages is increasing.

I agree that the Jessica Lal and Meher Bhargava cases got attention because of who they were. But hopefully this vigilance will now extend to other cases as well.

As a Londoner I fume about public transport costs all the time and how expensive cabs are, but I agree with everything you say.

I hated needlework in school and I always will hate it. Today if anything needs to be stitched I give it to my husband.

I agree with you. Whether or not Hindu Gods have been painted nude in the past, whether or not Hussain's or Chandramohan's paintings have artisitic merit, whether or not the cartoons depict Mohammed in a way that Muslims don't like-they all have a right to be published and painted. We can choose to like/not like the work, and criticise it as vehemently as we want, that is our freedom of expression. Our "sentiments" are always being hurt these days it seems.

I only know what I'll feel when I have kids, but this is something I think about a lot...especially when I see some of the over competitive parents around these days.

Hilarious! Thanks for this.

I LOVE Tamil film songs though I don't understand a word...but I can pick out some.

Poor you. Are the two of them insomniacs?

Wish I could gather up the courage to do the same. I can't even stand tepid water when bathing, it has to be hot!

Along with a demand for more accountability (which I think should be strengthened in this petition) there should be a clear and explicit deman for the depoliticisation of the judiciary and the judicial process and for Justice. Starting with 1984, there have been so many riots and the perpetrators have not been brought to justice! What about terrorists like Narendra Modi who are walking about absolutely free and those who participated in the anti-Sikh riots of 1984?

hear hear! it's hard to do, especially with close family...but ignoring is a good way!

Re: The carcinogen-free store

mumbaigirl — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:46:17 -0000

I think I have seen products that say they are carcinigen free, can't remember where-maybe it was a beauty product.

Re: The carcinogen-free store

mumbaigirl — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:51:17 -0000

I can't remember-but there are entire stores like the organic pharmacy that would take that line I think, along with parabens free etc. And I didn't notice that I spelled carcinogen wrong the last time! I agree with you, better to have it all in one place and have a filtering system. They are trying some sort of signalling system on food products here, with red and green light symbols to control obesity.

I thought one was a girl and they wanted to give her away. Or are there two couples like this? I hope not.

Whoa! Really? You must be right cos there cannot possibly be two pair of loonies like this. *shudder*

just let us know what the knew moniker/url is before you vanish!

Me: Ooh, good point! Won't help things if I show up with a new name and no one knows who I am, eh? Kinda like Poonam Dhillon in Yeh Vaada Raha when she came back as Tina Munim, post facial reconstructive surgery and no one could recognise her!
