Brain pickings post - referred

The way in which any given culture treats the vagina — whether with respect or disrespect, caringly or disparagingly — is a metaphor for how women in general in that place and time are treated.

How to think more about sex- alain de botton

Without sex, we would be dangerously invulnerable. We might believe we were not ridiculous. We wouldn’t know rejection and humiliation so intimately. We could age respectably, get used to our privileges and think we understood what was going on. We might disappear into numbers and words alone. It is sex that creates a necessary havoc in the ordinary hierarchies of power, status, money and intelligence.

relinquishing one's own

Hartosh Singh Bal, the political editor of Open magazine, announced on Wednesday that he had received a letter of termination. It was the second high-profile sacking within the Indian media in the space of a month; in late October, Siddharth Varadarajan resigned as editor-in-chief of The Hindu, an influential daily newspaper, when the paper’s owners told him he would be replaced.

"peeka -boo, aachoo"

Loud creative, reactive you..
yes, how many times in a day you sit with your legs crossed, assuming a comfortable position with your hands typing or rather pushing hard against the keys of the board which lets you create out or virtually nothing. When things are displayed from nowhere, there exist no physical ramification and manifestation of your thought, no assurance of the things of the thoughts existing in the first place.

I think I started at the wrong place, every creative jostling allows you contemplate about how, where issues arises from, where are they subdued at the end of the day ? well, as far as  questions exist and continue to emerge it's all good, but imagine a day when you become a reticent image of your being .. frightful, no ?  A repository of an ideal that exists in the physical you.

I won't jolt you, since it's my first post, the very first.
