A beautiful poem full of intense emotions! 'I am a warzone/My people are hungry/My animals are just a bag of bone/The stray dog never knows why today/No leftovers are thrown.'
I am a warzone I became one, for a ruthless tyrant Got irked by another Now my sons and daughters pursuing college Cannot walk any further
The infant yowls and yowls for milk His mother has none to spare If they, patrolling on the streets, hear They’ll snatch and hide him somewhere Like they did to the neighbour’s kid yesterday I can see the parents beseechingly pray
The young man desperately begs His master to give him some chore He says, I’ll clean your house, mow your lawn or clean your floor I beg you to give me my pay So my family will live another day
I am a warzone Rich condescending megalomaniacs Fight for control over me I’m only scared, Look at how they ravaged their territory
I am a warzone My people are hungry My animals are just a bag of bone The stray dog never knows why today No leftovers are thrown
The fish and birds and cats And all the life in the forests The plants and trees and butterflies Don’t know where their future rests
My future a question My present an elegy I am a warzone I don’t know how long I’ll be.

India Sweets And Spices is a film showcasing a classist NRI society and how the younger generation is trying to break the stereotypes.
I had been waiting to watch Geeta Malik’s India Sweets and Spices ever since it buzzed in the news that the film was being shot in my hometown of Atlanta.
The movie premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York on June 12, and I had the opportunity to watch a film I had been eagerly waiting for.

Feminism. The practically infamous F word that makes people uncomfortable within just seconds. Not just men, but everyone who has internalized patriarchy in general feels so threatened, that they do not even want to listen.
There are women who spend their whole lives trying to make something of themselves, standing up for themselves and their rights. But no matter how hard they try, there’s still an underlying tone of ‘rebellion’ in this progress and it is brushed off as being ‘arrogant’.
We're blind to the lives of the less fortunate, who are all around us. Here is a peek into their lives, their fears, and their bravery

I always saw him at the red light – tiny little thing, wrapped in tattered clothes, his smeared face, his not-so-white teeth, around 6 or 7 years old. Something about him was different. At every red light his mother would nudge him to go reach out to the flashy cars… “make a sad face, get some tears” I had heard her saying once.
He looked at her and got up reluctantly. Then, he came and stood silently by my car, peeping in. The signal was not working that day, and it took a little longer for the car to move on. Cars were honking, trying to cut lanes, people were shouting at each other – it was total chaos. That was when I noticed him. I looked at him. He looked straight back at me, right into my eyes. I thought – How can parents make their kids beg? as if reading my thoughts… he did not spread his hands to beg.
Will your child feel comfortable coming up to you if he is gay? Or if she is going through heartache? Have you ensured that they will feel supported, no matter what?
As appreciation for the recently released movie Ek Ladki Toh Dekha Toh Aisa Lagaa pours in from people from different strata of society, I look back at several conversations I have had with my husband and my friends about how we’ll be ‘privileged’ if our kids decided to marry someone of the opposite gender. “With decriminalisation of same sex marriages, you never know how matters shape up, you know.”
However, after watching the movie, I am at a loss of words. To consider the possibility that my son might be gay and think that ‘I am OK with it’ is one thing, but to face such a reality and rise up to the occasion as a truly progressive, parent of the modern era, is an altogether different ball game.
