A recent court judgement gave a clean chit to a celebrity accused in a rape case. The grounds used to justify the clean chit are disturbing, to say the least. Indians may recall Tarun Tejpal as the sensational journalist who made a place for himself and his company Tehelka, with his sting operations in 2000.

Free from the void …by Jim
I’m not languishing, I’m dormant, but very soon since I have gotten both of my Covid injections, I plan to get on with my life again. All of the masking and social distancing was miserable and I had to neglect doing many things that I love. Now that I have wakened from my sleep caused by the pandemic, my life has taken on new meaning for me and I plan to flourish. I have been cautiously biding my time, nurturing new ideas, and waiting for the good times to roll again. I look back at the lockdowns as a method that recharged my batteries, so now it is time for the winter of my discontent to be over. I had been conserving my energy, but I’m no longer lying in wait. If something interesting comes along, I’ll pounce on it, like the cat that I am.

it’s my nature
to withdraw
when unbalanced
for no reason at all
i retreat to a safe space
like bear cubs denning
i’m not languishing, i’m dormant
with melancholy
seeking shelter protects my soul
giving respite and comfort
surrounded by nothing but time
it revives me

A long long time ago, my husband, our two sons and I had gone out for an ice-cream treat. It was sometime when I was always thinking of curbing unnecessary expenditure.
As a selfless person, who was too much in love with her family to deny them of any pleasure, I always chose to sacrifice my own excesses. And it didn’t even feel like a sacrifice ever, because I was a woman of very few needs/ wants/ desires…
So, when my husband asked each one of us to choose our favourite flavour of ice-cream, I responded as usual, “I won’t have any.”
The boys enjoyed one round and ordered another; my response remained the same, “I don’t want any.”
I was happy in my family’s happiness. I was happy that my not indulging in pleasure was perhaps ensuring some more goodies in the future for my dear ones. .
But…
