Because I am not a slut

"Being a woman in India is hard. Being a woman who wears whatever she wants is harder. God forbid you are a woman who wears what she wants AND goes where she wants all by herself.

Waiting for a Volcano? Don't hold your breath

"In the universe of Revolution 2.0, Facebook is the reigning capital, and The Syrian Revolution 2011 page (with over 218,000 “official” followers) is considered prime real estate. Earlier this week, the page boldly dedicated Thursday, June 30th to the “Aleppo Volcano,” but disappointment and low expectations began to appear days before, as the fiery graphic shrunk slowly, from proudly occupying the entire profile picture to sharing half the space with “Burn your Bills Wednesday,” and downgraded to a scant third after declaring the weekly national demonstration on July 1st as “Leave!
