On #IWD I edited an info-graph that for me often reflects the subjugation of women's contribution in society because we angle it through a male lens for social ratification.... And so because someone ( a man) asked (twice) 'what was the harm' of the unedited version I toyed with the idea of saying google is your friend mate  and moving on but then decided to repost the graphic and a small blurb...please indulge me.... “....Language is deeply political. A lot of what you are “not getting” is also from a place where there are no perceptible “ill intentions” in the unedited version of this info-graph.....but that is the genius-ness of sexism and ageism in language and in its ability to be pervasive, trivialising and undermining in its delivery. “Language is a great carrie r of stereotyping and great place to assert socially sanction power of what is a ‘normalised standard’ of genius-ness and this is what makes this post extremely condescending. Ageism or more ...

Its International Women’s Day today, lets talk and touch base... There is something to be said when one decides to move away from all social order norms and find their own path in life. Somehow, even within ‘progressive’ social spaces we tend to want a certain kind of uniformity and oneness… Often we impose a varied spectrum of rewards or sanctions to compel each other to conform to what is deemed ‘acceptable’ or ‘appropriate’…I have to say I have a deep respect for those who not only do not conform, but who also live by the same principles of not imposing their choices overbearingly on others – its effing hard to do this but nothing can be more sexier…living by the same standards to expect from others can transform this world - its pretty revolutionary...

I am just sitting here listening to the putter of the rain outside I think of the distance between us and try to remember, you and your smile. When I am with you I think of how you are part of many transitions In my body, my mind and my heart.... All of them turn me on way bright Everything of mine is putty in your arms… Touching or connecting with you energizes me You recharge every cell in my being. You restore me You heal me You fill me You make me whole Your love, your memories your dreams Envelop me so wonderfully and then; I am filled with your you-ness. Pinning you on the pillows as I kiss you is exhilarating... I can feel you giving yourself to me Opening, letting go.... Its such a precious feeling Holding all your vulnerability in my hands I never ever want to let you or this go... You are my muse My obsession My everything-ness. I love watching you, touching, bumping into you, rubbing off on you,  talking to you, smelling you lis...
