I remember Vinod as a very polite colleague whom I sometimes borrowed a foreign fashion magazine from. I have not seen the article you mention. You could tell him your views on his blog and give him a chance to answer you directly... if you haven't done so already. Vivi, thank you for your good wishes.

Here I was drawing a deep breath before plunging into accounts (never a favourite activity) and thought I'd refresh myself first with a quick peep at my blog, which HT has so indulgently, kindly and miraculously (for me) kept alive. What a great boost to my spirits to find such a nice mail from you! My email id is shebaba09@gmail.com. Please will you mail me there so we can stay in touch? Partho, Savita, Nirguna and few others have mailed off and on while Gina in Bangkok called soon after I got here and we had a few nice chats. Take care and thank you so much. Renuka Hi Kabir!

But that's what it took - almost four months. Thought all sorts of things, wondered why there wasn't any mention or threat of the returning columnist or whatever. Just an unmysterious change of jobs; a kind of kick upstairs but from stairway to escalator, complete with picturesque vault.... Thailand eh? Good place for culture and devotion I hear, particularly if you are able to leave the paedophilic, drag and special massage preferential places behind; and move up river and try and understand what makes the river people tick. You have my email address. If you permit, we can continue to be in touch. You are perhaps the only contemporary Indian writer I have ever read, and been left wondering, about how much you know in such wealth, and how brilliantly and sensitively you communicate - especially with someone like me, who gapes more than reads - with just the right amount of irreverence to make the reverential worth the pursuit. Please accept warm congratulations for your new assignment. I hope this gets to you. Stay well and strong and continue to explain the universe to me. kabir.

Am I correct to say that a person is a Hindu, who irrespective of the way he lives, has absolute faith in the Vedas, either blindly ( because he is going by the learned people whom he trusts) or by his own reasoning.

I know this does not concern you directly but I still addressed it to you because you seem to me like an intelligent and liberal woman who will understand my anguish. I moved to India two years ago and found that of all the English news dailies in the country, Hindustan Times was the undisputable best. Having subscribed to the paper two years in a row, I've enjoyed great consistency and crisp news. This is why I was extremely shocked and disappointed to find a blog as crass as Vinod Nair's 'Tailor Talk' featured on your website. I grew up in the West, on the writings of famous and influential fashion journalists like Diana Vreeland and Suzy Menkes. That is why the crudely worded, explicit and completely politically incorrect contents of this blog were shocking to me. It's more of a vent to the carnal side of an obviously sexually frustrated author- absolute objectification and disrespect of woman, cheap comments, disgusting metaphor and similes- than a respectable fashion blog from an authoritative source. Fashion as an art is completely neglected and instead attention is paid to the minutes details of whose dress reveals what, which is described in unnecessarily graphic detail. Pathetic imagery of a grossly sexual nature combined with women being shown in a completely disrespectful light sex objects makes it nauseating, as well as inappropriate for younger readers. This is a transperant case of pandering to the lowest common denominator in this country. This reminds me more of the drunken louts I see on Indian road sides, who pass comments on women (or ‘eve tease’ as it is called here) than any of the articles I have come across in any good fashion magazine. If an established writer in the west maintained such a blog it would definitely spell an end to their career. For a publication that claims to be forward minded and global (the open your mind adverts, for instance) this is utter blasphemy. I strongly suggest you either ban this chauvinistic, regressive and crude blog or moderate its contents for the sake of your public image. Best of luck in Bangkok!!

]]> Comment on The ideal Hindu husband? Ain’t none in scripture by alka http://blogs.hindustantimes.com/she-baba/2009/03/19/the-ideal-hindu-husband-ain%e2%80%99t-none-in-scripture/#comment-1985 alka Thu, 17 Sep 2009 08:37:03 +0000 http://blogs.hindustantimes.com/she-baba/?p=78#comment-1985 Lovely article and so true! I searched for the info on ideal husband in Hindu religion and found yours in there. I agree with your thought that god Shiva seems to be the best husband. He is a bairagi but also a family man who cares deeply about his wife. Most Hindu men of religious inclination hide behind the literature lecturing and admiring about the qualities of Ideal hindu wife, including my husband, but when asked about a male role model they are unable to find a satisfactory one. No offense against god Rama but he conveniently shunned wife whenever it suited him after all the sacrifices she made. And then you find all the explainations by the modern scholars on how this was just 'maya' or symbolic of something else. Lovely article and so true!
