The women in my life
The women in my life are a strange lot. They are particularly detached towards everything. A question like "What do you like?" never begets answers. An avid aversion to TV and Movies. Always saying: kanraavi, ayyo namma kathene enu nododu. Oh such a limited notion of art! Or no time for it rather! Practitioners of supreme indifference, they seem to have touched the logical limit of ethicality, oppression or self-reliance. And yet they are caring enough to pluck flowers with fingers so as to not hurt them... not nails as I would. (Call them pre-modern or less-fashionable). ...but they have got some things right. They harbour no illusions about life...no bollywood movie can make them see life differently from the closeness and accuracy with which they perceive it, nay know it!
