With a stiletto

Caravaggio tore up

His painting of Lazarus

Raised

Modeled by a corpse

Life size, receding

We are all

Raised

after birth

Lazarus in the book Kore caught my eye. Lazarus also happens to be the theme for TH 23

In the movie 'New York' a grille on the pathway reminded me of how a woman's stiletto was stuck in it on the ground. After scale, I have been thinking about what is life size? Other than the magnitude, whatever brings a thing to life, its ness.

This pieced together shard makes you wonder if 'wholeness' of a thing is imaginary like the line.

All you words

In From A to ZYXt essay, Nicholson Baker writes of an interesting project of reading the words of a dictionary aloud.
Kabul express happens to be the movie where I related journalist to journal. And thence onto difference between journalist and reporter.

I watched Kabul Express last night. First thought, with such beautiful mountains around, why fight instead of hike. When the father meets his daughter after a long time, no words, he places some money on a rock an a paper weight on it. I was thinking how would this seen be rendered in words. would a book do as well as a film in the portrayal of this scene. Extending this in I said to myself essay, Nicholson Baker, shows the power of Indirect thought offered in books.

In Narrow ruled, the author talks of how writing down the lines that grab you in you reading offer a climate to interact with the writing. And there's a caveat to not overdo it. 

When the author says the earplugs keep the world at bay, its reminiscent of the apps that get highlighted on the computer or smart phone screen. 

One Summer. There are many paragraphs in this essay.

Grandma we are poets

She died in peas

She found the doors of heaven by the smell of honey. After having her customary tea, her day and life felt unmoored to time. The only time when she ever considered giving up tea was post visit to the dentist, imagining tea-stained cup.
She is survived by her pantry and pots. Cake decorating kit that she never used. Assortment of passed down gadgets.
She never liked frying. Her husband found it ironical that she should love murukulu. It wasnt about fried vs not fried. It was savoury vs sweet. She watched what she ate when it came to sweets.
