The Lady And The Monk
The first fleeting taste of Japan felt like the answer to some unspoken question. For through whatever curious affinities propel us towards people or places we have never met, I have always been powerfully drawn towards Japan. Ever since boyhood, I had only to glimpse a Hokusai print of peasants huddled under driving rain, or to enter the cold [...]
Death to All (Zionist) Juice
So I saw this on someone's google reader shared items (most likely that of Mohit's) but figured it had to get on my website nevertheless. It is indeed a serious concern in these grave times that hardcore fundamentalist radicals are calling for the death of all juice.

It literally would be the last chance for the dispensers of justice to ensure that the [...]
Traffic Fatwas!!
