As I lay sick this week at home, I am busy with maestro ilayaraja! I saw this ad and recognized the music from Ilayaraja’s BGM from the Tamil movie Veedu (1988). all home themed! What a smart repurposing!
It’s also featured as ‘Do Anything’ in Ilayaraja’s album #howtonameit

Excerpt (of an excerpt)...
Glad to be out of grad student existential dread (post-candidacy/ pre-fieldwork) and translated excerpts of five Telugu padams into English for a friend's paper this morning.
Some lines are poruttam(just right) while I sleep over the others. #translation #telugu #poetry

"BIRTHPLACE WITH BURIED STONES"
– Meena Alexander
I first came across this poem as an opening to one of my advisors' essays on the social text. I've been moved since.
