Katradhu Tamizh and a headache
I know I’ve been quiet for a little while. Very uncharacteristic. But moving on, I saw two films over the weekend. One of them was Katrathu Tamizh. I wanted to like this film. I want to like any film that … Continue reading

Poem: An Efficient Love
Perhaps it’s because he’s so thin. That winter assaults his very soul. Shiver by shiver, he disappears everyday. She kisses him constantly. Her lips are chapped. His cheeks are sore. But they’re in love, and so feel compelled to show. … Continue reading

Poem: Greasy Kind of Love
