Preity Zinta has complained about the routine sexual harassment and indecent assault of women on Indian streets.



Predictably enough, she justified her argument that women needed to be stronger and 'more independent' with reference to her father, whose encouragement of her meant that 'if my life was a film, then my father would be my ultimate hero'. Er, no. That would be you.

Why thank you! You're friended. Nice post on Zaha Hadid, by the way - I'm all about the highbrow monobrow, if only because I think she must be my real mother.



I rest my case.

In fact now I've done that I'm a bit disturbed. It would explain a lot.

Hi there,

I finally heeded slantedtruth's calls to come over and visit your journal. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm adding your journal to my reading list. Hope you don't mind!

You're friended! I'd wanted to friend you both for your pocket comments and for being named after the world's sexiest plants.

I don't blame you for ignoring slantedtruth for weeks. I hate people endlessly propping their partners. Look! We're so cute! We're so clever! Everyone else can go drop dead!

But we really are cute so we can't help it.

Yay! So why didn't you friend me earlier? We could have avoided this silly delay.

By the way, said delay was, I think, more due to bad timing than that couple thing. I remembered I'd never actually checked you out as instructed when I ran across a comment by you this morning, possibly in amarama's journal. In any case, I'm glad to meet you.

I've been struck by your recent comments in amarama's journal, and now she's written a post in praise of you. I'm adding you -- I hope you don't mind -- and would like to be able to read your journal, if you're willing.

Willing? Over-awed would be more like it. You actually manage to finish your books!

I'm making little pleased but staunchly realistic sputtering noises -- looking forward to reading your lj, any feelings of awe will quickly subside in reading mine -- it's pretty mundane in there -- and still getting that, oh my gosh, it's finally happened feeling of pleasure that you mentioned the books -- especially the very brand new one.

And yeah, I've finished them in the past, will it ever happen again?
