Death of Marat - Jacques Louis David

“It is the cause and not the death that makes the martyr”

- Napoleon Bonaparte

"jaane kya hota hai har baat pe kuchh hota hai
din mein kuchh hota hai aur raat mein kuchh hota hai
thaam lena jo kabhi dekho hamein udate hue
aaj kal paaon zameen par nahin padate mere"

Mumbai Beyond Terror

A personal view: shove the puff, fluff and pastry

A closer look

Farzana Versey: Mumbai, India; I dabble in what people call creative pursuits (I find fine dining extremely creative too). I am a frustrated artist. A frustrated singer. A frustrated gourmand. A frustrated photographer.This helps. It adds pathos to the plebeian. It gives me more to write about. A curious voice might want to ask, “But what do you really do?” Those who know a bit about me are aware, and for those who are not I am a blank sheet; I like to start anew. Words are my weapons, they are also my shield. They are a blessing and they are a curse. I call my main blog ‘Cross Connections’ based on the title of an old column of mine. I have lots of old columns – the longest one went on for 11 years; the shortest lasted at least a year. You will probably find remnants (and some renewal) of me scattered around in the cyber world…for the rest, they are mostly yellowing parchment. Once when I saw my words and face in a newspaper splattered with ketchup at a roadside stall, I admit I was devastated. I do not like ketchup. I have a healthy disregard for objectivity. Give me an 'ism' and I shall give you a subjective opinion.
