Continuing Paro-normalcy

My column today on burqua brouhahahas

http://www.mid-day.com/opinion/2010/may/230510-paromita-vohra-burqha-ban-france-islamic-women.htm

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...

Well they'd said they want it for 3 months - and in fact I'm not sure if it's 6 more or 7 that are left.. yes i should post whole thing, you're right - i am jsut worried I'll succumb to posting the longer versions, against my belief system of there should be only one cut!
