Cosmic Matrimony Dartboard

The great Indian matrimonial game played by millions on the pages of classifieds has now moved to the internet. Finding that perfect match entails sifting through endless layers of religion, caste/sub-caste, astrology, education and economic standing. Typically a high caste Indian groom settled abroad will be at the centre of this cosmos, the outer peripheries will be populated by social pariahs – divorcees, over 30’s, those with an imperfect horoscope. Much like a game of darts. A hundred profi les squeeze for space on dartboard. Some are sourced from the columns of newspapers, others fictitious: all intricately drawn and described. Visitors to the Biennale write their name on a dart to try their luck. As the event progresses the board is filled up with darts – mismatched unions of the matrimonial cosmos.

Last original backpack

Laptop, mouse, latest Vogue magazine, A4 sketchbook, pencil case, water bottle, half roll of toilet paper (you never know), brush, bus ticket, tube of Odomos, phone, wallet, keys, reading glasses, dupatta and a parceled masala dosai. Yes, it all fits in here.

The drill

Looking for materials for my bags, the shop assistant keeps asking me questions: where are you from? do you speak Hindi? what are you doing here? are you married? I try to ignore him and keep to the point. When I reach the counter, the boss (who knows me) tells me: he thinks you are a newcomer, that's why he's trying to kill you!

Madama vs Jaguar

Sitting in the passenger seat, windows down trying to help maneuver in a tight lane with an expensive car coming in front. Lots of school kids with their bikes passing me by. Suddenly I hear: Ramesh, Jaguar! Jaguar! (instead of Madama! Madama!) Nobody wins against a cool car...
