Please never, never eat in glass walled hotels. It is perverted.

I passed one today, and poor children were hanging out trying to sell small colouring books to the clients walking in. They were also probably hungry. And to add to that the agony to seeing feasting is a base crime.

  This is the obscenity of the urban culture. In a village when a lady comes asking for food, she is sat down and fed even in the poorest household. They would never eat a meal when watched by hungry people. That that sensitivity is also dead in a city says it all for me.

  Well, what's the fun if you can't flaunt it? That's the whole point of conspicuous consumption.

  Annasamy Anna told me that there are two kinds of people. Who keep the doors open when they eat, so that they can call by people who pass to eat. And the other kind who close the doors so that they do not need to share. This third category does not exist even in his imagination.

  Gautam Benegal, is there a word stronger that perversion ? My vocabulary is proving insufficent for the time.

  Rage is no use. Nothing seems any use these days against a frozen insensitivity. So one grieves. The problem is not with individuals - we are all made of the same clay. There is a deep structural problem that feeds into this utter mindlessness.

  hunger and feasting are complementary. someone cant do the latter without someone else suffering the former.

  The utter insensitivy is what troubles. And the perversion of displaying. To break down these can be a more ardous task than any other.

  you hit me hard, the right way, Aparna Krishnan. never thought about it; thanks for making me aware of this insensitivity to our fellow fellow brethren.
