"Oh Shivan, if you had to be Kashmiri, couldn't you have been Muslim? You'd have been so much sexier."
Unfortunately, dull quotidian loss is blasé. Doesn't quite have the attraction of a nice little blood-soaked revolution.
Allahs, that I shall never know the language of my parents.
This lack of a home is not sexy though. No flags to wave or songs to sing or Shakespeare adaptations to be made for something to which your only recollection and right is a white-haired woman's account of what used to be a home, before calls to prayer were calmly punctured with the hysterical laughter of midnight torture.
Sadda Haq unko dedo yaar, humein kehwa peene do.
Arundhati Roy is sexy. Delhi University girls with wits like zanjeers studying International Development/Relations/Politics/Economics whose Facebook About pages scream that they are 'Libertarian' are sexy. My beautiful friend who charms in a single conversation and studies social impact in Kenya is sexy.
I am boring.

Delhi University girls are pretentious. And you are wrong when you say you aren't sexy (but you are just a tad bit pretentious...sometimes)
No, Delhi University girls are fantastic. I should have just gone to Stephen's; would have lived longer.
