My story got published in passionforcinema .
http://passionforcinema.com/hmmm
I know its not that much of a BIG deal , but , it still makes me a lot happy to see my article among authors like Anurag Kashyap , Nasuridheen Shah etc . And more over , i think it is the first story to be published there .
I wrote this story , on a chat session with my friend Aishu . She just wanted me to tell her a story , and since i was jobless at office , just went on writing . I think she stopped listening after a while , but i didnt :P . And thus the story 'Hmmm' was made .
Check it out !

Jade Goody and the fact of life
I usually dont write about people , especially celebrities , but the story of Jade Goody is not yet another masala entertainer , it just teaches the cruel fact of life .
Called upon as the stupidest women ever to be a celebrity , hated by most sections of the intellectual western society , shock of a slumdog who became a millionare overnight, and most importantly , the Shipa Shetty issue and the celebration by Indian media .
Jade is among one of the most searched celebrity , has a billion dollar bunglaw , married to her teenage sweetheart , has a collection of finest dresses in the world , wonderful and healthy sons(4 and 5) , she has even been talked about in the Parliament ., but is going to die with in a month .
Jade did not know that it would be so soon , when she boarded the flight to participate in Indian Big brother show ., but that is the unfortunate and cruel truth of life .
Every day i see the British Media giving front page news about her , celebrating and making money out of the ' dying celebrity' . They give space for everyone who once abused her to come back and sympathise , give live updates of her literally devastated pictures , and take interviews of her friends , relatives or even the gardner . I have seen people in Tamil Nadu celebrating post death , dancing and crakers , they believe that they want the soul to go happily to heaven . Now , the Western society , known for its 'forward outlook' towards life , takes one step forward , and is celebrating death , before the person is dead . Here is a few headlines
I am not here to sympathise for Jade , but i want to appreciate her for her courage , to dress up as a bride with painkillers in the pocket , to come out smiling and talk to people , and finally to accept the fact of life and death at the age of 27.
God bless Jade and her sons .
