This is the chair I have fallen in love with, at one CCD in Ahmedabad.

Sitting on this chair, having a cafe mocha, and talking to close friend on phone, well, nothing in this world could be better than that.

Do you have such place you call heaven?

You know sometimes you need to part with something you come to love so immensely for sometimes your silliness and sometimes other people’s faults. In my case it was more a case of later thing than the former. Anyhow I’m not going to get too deep into the matter, but just to sum it up, I kind of lost my domain name ektapaneri.com due to my domain name reseller’s disappearance. He probably broke and now running from the customers cause he is not able to help anyone. I am writing this post, first to just clarify my disappearance from blog world for some time, and also to make his other customers realize they might end up the same way. His name is Kalpesh Patel, and he used to have his office in Infocity, Gandhinagar, under the name Drushta Solutions at Drushta.net, now he has sold that out. Anyways, I’m filing a law suit against him, cause am not gonna let him leave easily out of this. I was very frustrated before, but now I am determined to make him pay for this. ..

anyhow, I’m back guys! And will continue posting as I used to.

Ekta.

PS. There is a reason I took this domain, it represents one of the biggest truths of life.

Je me crois en enfer,
done j’y suis.

Consider the implications of usages such as the following:

• “Man is a mammal and suckles his young” - the human race is male by default; “Womankind” is a subset of “Mankind”.
• “The reader is entitled to his opinion” - if you’re female, you have to pretend otherwise to read legal documents.
• “Wizard” is praise; “witch” is an insult (abuse is the only field in which there are more words to describe women).
• “The UK’s greatest living author” is ambiguous; does it rule out the possibility of authoresses who are greater?

This doctrine of Male-As-Default treats women as a negligible subgroup, and femaleness as abnormal but always noteworthy.

Sexism is (in principle) avoidable in English, via words like “human, people, he/she, they”, and sex-neutral jobtitles where sex is irrelevant.  Things are different in languages with grammatical gender: eg in French, masculine plural is “ils”, feminine plural is “elles”, but mixed groups (even of 99 women and one grammatically-masculine hornet) are “ils”. ..

Makes you think, doesnt it?

Sambha : Beech mein koi nahi aata.

Gabber : To fir Dono ek saath kyon nahi atey?
Sambha : Do Ek ke baad hi aa sakta hai, kyonki Do ek se bada hai.

Gabber : Do ek se bada hai? Kitna bada hai?
Sambha : Do ek se Ek bada hai?

Gabber : Agar Do ek se ek bada hai to ek ek se kitna bada hai?
Sambha : Sardar, Maine tumhara namak khaya hai, mujhe goli mar do
