I starting reading your blog since you were at IIM. I don’t know you but kind of stumbled on your blog (must have been a link from Sidin Vadakut’s blog).

And today, I just happened to stumble on your blog. And seeing this television brief on the BBC was like *wow* – you have come such a long way and are speaking of fiscal policies of countries I don’t even remember what the capital city is.

I am incredibly happy for you and wish you much success.

I face that problem. Anything beyond 1000 words is tough to read online. Except Murakami or Pico Iyer perhaps.

Love the Peggy Orenstein line!

Thanks.. now that I’m home, and it’s the end of the year, I’m revisiting resolutions to blog more often. It’s incredibly hard to work up the motivation after a day spent writing/editing at work, and I really think my attention span has fallen drastically, and now hovers at around 140 chars!

On stereotypes – I like having the choices – to play princess or to play with monster trucks. The problem with putting kids into gender-specific boxes at a young age (and these things are marketed to young girls ages 2-8!) is that it reinforces negative messages that haunt you later. Girls who play princess learn to be desired, before they learn to desire..

One of my favourite lines from Peggy Orenstein was “It’s not that pink is intrinsically bad, it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow,”
