I looked at all the photos of Ghosh's visit to Kerala and figured that he would rather be Mr. Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde than some weird poetry dude from York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-91059655036406977282007-04-25T22:09:00.000+05:302007-04-25T22:09:00.000+05:30There are layers in selfishness, too.

We pray for the wellbeing of our dear ones not only because we want ourselves to be free of worry. It's also because we genuinely love them and mean little harm. Beacuse i don't think we'll dance around in joy and think of OUR sorry state if something serious happens to them. What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-57420397578164909672007-04-25T16:46:00.000+05:302007-04-25T16:46:00.000+05:30The NewYorker Magazine's "Shouts and Murmurs" page...The NewYorker Magazine's "Shouts and Murmurs" page on Auden's centenary and how taxiwallahs in his hometown of York are learning to recite the poetry of the native son is pretty hilarious. If you fail to create literature, or get someone to quote and analyze your blog in a thesis, you can still get your hometown autorikshahwallahs quote your writings. Here is how a cockney taxiwallah goes on about the homosexuality of Auden in that one page from The NewYorker:<BR/><BR/>’E ’ad a gentleman friend, Mr. Auden did, dinnee? Bit of a trouser man, orroight? That seems to be the way nowadays, innit, wif actors and M.P.s and clergy and wot ’ave you. In my day, there weren’t a need to fling yer spanky knackers into other folks’ faces all jumble-wumble and ’ere’s-mine-guv’nor. Though the missus did drag me to see Mr. Rudolf Nureyev at the ballet once. That man packed a full bag of groceries, dinnee?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-48960467768843543402007-04-25T10:36:00.000+05:302007-04-25T10:36:00.000+05:30a time table for sex? that would be 24 by 7 right?...a time table for sex? that would be 24 by 7 right?<BR/>a thesis on ganga mail?<BR/><BR/>gosh ghosh, i can't seem to decide which of the two sound funnier.<BR/><BR/>i think we're all much too wallowed in our insecurites and yearnings to understand what true love is. and i think thats why we see the world as selfish - in sanskrit there is a saying - yatha drishti, tatha srishti.<BR/><BR/>thank you!dharmabumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07198727554870311298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-22431015850785314272007-04-25T09:06:00.000+05:302007-04-25T09:06:00.000+05:30You made me think again.
