pop culture
Epic love stories and relationships as depicted in pop culture, though it rarely turns out like that in real life.
Kate Bush v Tori Amos
It was the mid 80s. I was in a hot car, staring out an open window with my hand riding the rippling air of teenage angst and drama. This journey always managed to send me into a state of mental dreariness, particular during the monotonous landscape miles, which felt like slow motion driving over a B-grade movie set. We regularly travelled this 60 minute journey which took us from a beautiful farm into the nearest decent sized town of 3,000 people. During these trips, if the radio managed to crackle into existence, the local station became my vocal pinnacle and I would mumble along to legendary Australian rock, anticipating the occasional mind bend upon hearing international music

The Beauty Over Brains Debate
The beauty over brains debate is a dispute that has been going on, I’d bet, for at least over a century. If you were to have asked me at the age of 12 what was more important, intellect or beauty, I would have looked at you funny. It was an obvious answer to me. I didn’t even think it needed to be discussed. I thought even the mere questioning of it was a sign of stupidity. “Intellect!”, is what I would’ve yelled with no second thought. I would’ve put brains over beauty every time until I was about 20 years old. But now, after having lived more life, my answer is a resounding vote for beauty.

Waiting For The Green Light
This is inspired / stolen from a Bill Hicks sketch, as he was one of the most intelligent foul mouthed comedians ever. In fact this is going to be an appreciation of the great man with a retelling of the Green Light incident.

We all need a Betty in our lives
This is a tribute to my favourite comic book character Betty Cooper from Archie Comics. Although I have not read an Archie comics book for at least 15 years now, there was a time I was a big fan of them. In my early years in India I was very jubilant whenever my parents or relatives would get me a Archie comic book for my birthday. Sometimes they would get me one in other months as well. What a lovely bonus!! I liked the different comic books (digests) but liked the Betty & Veronica series a lot. I would have preferred if they had a series solely on Betty.

5 Toxic Ideas About Love I Learned From Watching Too Many Romantic Movies
Here’s a cheesy montage straight out of a movie I watched as a teen. A shirtless guy with perfectly tanned abs was running after his girlfriend. When he caught up to her, they started kissing and watched the beautiful sunset together.

I Introduce to you "The Rubber Lady"
I've been many different people throughout my life, but no other personality is more memorable then "The Rubber Lady". From 1985 to 1994, I embarked on a journey. There are many stories, way more then I can begin to tell in just this one page. So, I've been asking myself, how the heck do I even explain The Rubber Lady? Well, it helps that I have a lot of photographs. The Rubber Lady had a way of attracting photographers, from students to professionals. All photos are my property and include photo credits.
