Love me, hate me but you can't ignore me. Thats precisely what life has taught me in the last 20 years. And eventually I realised that screaming and ranting was not satisfying enough. It would be fair to say that I have found a certain curiosity in writing that far surpasses any temporary phase of illusion! Philosophy apart, I am still in that raw girl-woman stage and find myself contemplating on the strangest of thoughts, mostly on the brightest of days. Therefore, you have to excuse my randomness. After finding solid ground in literature, there is nothing I enjoy more than reading and criticism. It has been a pleasant one and half years at Stella Maris and that has led to more than polishing of my humour and speaking skills! I prefer to stay away from hardcore politics of the world, for I don't find any reasoning or sensibility there. By having said that have I put forth the politics of indifference?! Frankly, there are other issues, without political backgrounds that sustain my attention. So, in short you could call me your fairy tale loving, philosophy consumed, sun sign crazy, spaced out woman. Yeah, woman, since I am heading there!

It is indeed understandable; isn’t [...]

To be frank, there can never really be an affirmative take on gender testing. And the world knows it quite well. Sometimes, it almost seems like an excuse, an excuse for humiliation. Maybe it is too emotional, but when science cannot prove it, in the 21st century what else can??
