Don't fear the coming dark.
Pluck the stars from the sky,

Watch them glow in your hands.
They flutter as we cry,
little firefly.
This hope and hunger will not end.
We'll just fade away and die,
little firefly.

yesterday duddles handed over the april issue of jetwings... with my article in it! yay! it's looking quite good actually, esp with vikrant's pics so anyone flying jet airways in the next month pick it up and check it out. the mag's theme is colours of india and i chose grey - the colour of the mountains, the monsoon, the sea off bombay's coast, the manic construction in all the cities - a canvas that no one notices, but one that lets all the other colours stand out. next month: food trails of india. any suggestions? i've got a couple of thoughts - how about pickle? like a trail of typical pickle-makers across bombay? starting, i think, with the old gujju lady who makes my mom's stuff. also, it would be nice to take a look at marwari pickle-making with deepti's grandmum. and maybe prawn pickle east indian-style. woohoo.

Speaking as a child of the 90's...

as the layered bite of stone's guitar crunches down and eddie makes words catalyze passion I relive the fractured innocence of a decadent decade. a generation's hopes couched in anger and disbelief ephemeral geniuses cut short by blade of unsought fame we had a voice that spoke to the world with words of our own unrestrained and undefined by the boundaries of commercial creation a sound unsullied by that so-perfect production raw emotion unhindered by your fucking expectations.
