The Artful Scribbler

I used to write a column each week for the Economic and Political Weekly, a column that my ego was terribly fond of. It was my rambling pasture, I would berate X, praise Y, weave an irresponsible thought on someone’s poetry or music or philosophy or athletic prowess, offer vapid comments on a political development, try out some amateurish economics, generally indulge myself with words, words and more words. This column was mine kingdom to come.
