Continuing Paro-normalcy

My column today on burqua brouhahahas

And last week on discussions about politics

http://www.mid-day.com/opinion/2010/may/160510-opinion-political-thoughts-naxalites-democracy-paromita-vohra.htm

They persist in giving the dullest titles to the pieces - I'd like to think of good ones myself but mostly I'm just frantically screeching to a deadline.

And anyway I'm sure they'd change it instantly from my frivolous ones to these extremely NCERT type ones.

It's a losing game - if you write about political ideas (because it's not about politics as such the column) then people immediately become solemn and stodgy - and here you are trying to mix it up some and hoping to re-invest the discussion with some energy in your modest way.

Maybe I'm delusional and the title writer is right. In which case it's a good thing I only have another 7 columns to go before we're done...

RAHUL GANDHI: A DIFFERENT MASCULINITY

Image
      This essay was written for the 2023 year-end issue of Frontline You can read it on the website here Plain text version below the images. Links to related writings below that. RAHUL GANDHI: A DIFFERENT MASCULINITY   With the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi articulated a more open-armed masculinity of sweetness and hugs, but in a country so large and divided, his triumph of personal growth still struggles for electoral legitimacy.   PAROMITA VOHRA   For a while, after years of disdain, surprising numbers of people were all “I’m lovin’ it” when it came to Rahul Gandhi. They shared images from the Bharat Jodo Yatra and Instagram videos where university students asked Gandhi about his skin-care regimen (“I never use soap on my face”), vegetable preferences (“ sab chalta hai” , everything goes except spinach, peas and karela ), and matrimony (“I’m married to my job”).   As late as the morning of December 3, someone Wh...

REINVENTING RAHUL / RAHUL...NAAM TOH SUNA HOGA

Image
    This essay for Frontline, June 24 issue, builds on my earlier essay for them, A Different Masculinity/The Loser's Challeng e exploring the interweave of political culture, aesthetics and gender and suggesting a different frame of poetic politics to think about culture (and life). If you prefer to read plain text it is below the pdf version       REINVENTING RAHUL Plain text version   Reinventing Rahul Through this election, a new Rahul emerged: confident, irreverent, assertive, yet accessible. With even Gen Z deigning to call him a “thirst trap”, it is quite the journey from Pappudom.   PAROMITA VOHRA   On June 4, even as election results unfolded a changed political equa- tion, Rahul Gandhi appeared in an intriguing place: the X account @archivedilfs. Expanding the acronym DILF may be more than this venerable journal can bring itself to do. For those who do not know, it stands for what some people might li...

THE VANISHING LIE-0-METRE OR WHAT I LEARNED FROM KOFFEE WITH KARAN SEASON 8

Image
This is a longer version of my weekly column Paronormal Activity.       The finale of Koffee with Karan, in a season that set the bar low, featured Zeenat Aman and Neetu Singh. I wondered as I watched the strangely staccato proceedings, whether it was just because one Fabricare couch is not enough for two big lives? My mind kept going back to the more fluid fun in what is one of the show’s all-time best episodes – the finale of season 1 which also featured Zeenat Aman with Hema Malini. Even at the time they had seemed cooler than everyone else who had featured so far. Not only because they had the easy confidence of those who had led multi-layered lives and adventurous ones at that. But also, unlike the others, they no longer had any skin in that game. Their irreverence ran deeper, alluding to the discriminations and sexual exploitation they had survived in an unabashedly male-dominated industry.   That male domination was on full display in a Season 3 episode fe...
