Hanging By A Thread

Life to death 

Hanging by a thread

Curious eyes peering, 

Gazing, slowly tearing. 

Life to death

Join me my friend

I’ve watched you grow 

Everyone, but me. 

But I will be with you, aside

Creeping sometimes into your mind 

And sigh, my demise 

Only I wasn’t there. 

Taken were my memories, my soul, my tears

I only leave you a remnant of my touch

My hands, my voice, my chest 

I was the only one missing. 

Life to death 

Passed quickly like a ribbon of thread

Weaving into my Maker’s hands 

And riding into the forbidden land. 

It was only me that was left out. 

To grow, to change, to mess up

I’ll only be a sewn catastrophe 

Teased into your memory 

Of the days gone, as I’ve. 

[redrosyes]

Into your hands Lord, I leave myself. 

[redrosyes]

“Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.”

[tmihijabi-deactivated20150520]

The early Muslims, especially Aisha, were extremely blunt in their description of physical attributes and sexual activities. They had none of the shame and discomfort that modern Muslims have about these issues, because they were not subjected to British colonial brainwashing. Many Muslims today, especially those from Indian subcontinental and Arab backgrounds, are the product of several centuries of Victorian cultural conditioning left over by the British. During the Indian Raj, the British colonizers were horrified by how blunt the Islamic texts were about sexuality — there were popular “sex manuals” disseminated by the ulema (religious scholars) to give practical advice to husbands and wives about how to please each other, all based on hadith (oral traditions) of our Holy Prophet (pbuh). The Victorian British, who were raised to believe that sex even between married people was shameful and unspiritual, forced Indian Muslim scholars to retranslate these Arabic texts into Urdu using euphemisms that were acceptable to the colonialists. The result has been two centuries of Muslims believing that discussions of the human body and genitals as well as open talk about sex is uncultured, when in truth Muslims never had such taboos. In the hadiths, Aisha was very blunt about how the Prophet (pbuh) liked to have sex. In the hadiths she said that he even enjoyed what we would call “French kissing” — that he used to suck on her tongue. “French kissing” was as such promulgated by early Muslims as a Sunnah (an example of the Prophet to be emulated). All of this may shock you, but I would urge you to go back and read the hadiths for yourself, and you will see that blunt discussion of sex and physical body parts has always been a part of Islam.

An entire video of the Shakarabharanam Varnam Manavi Chekonarada by Sonali Skandan, student of C. V. Chandrasekhar. It’s interesting to see how C. V. Chandrasekhar played on the Kalakshetran choreography. The jathis after the thrikala come in pairs, following a traditional format (including having the third jathi be a repetition of the 3rd speed from the thrikala jathi). He also includes thattimettu after every section in the purvangam, which contrasts to how Kalakshetra only does thattimettu in the mukthayi swaram-sahithyam.

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sonali akka, she and I both took a workshop with Leela Samson last summer. I also have a friend who is her student. Amazing dance! We both frequent the NYC Indian classical arts scene.

"And since we all came from a woman

Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman

I wonder why we take from our women

Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?

I think it’s time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women, be real to our women

And if we don’t we’ll have a race of babies

That will hate the ladies, that make the babies

And since a man can’t make one

He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one

So will the real men get up

I know you’re fed up ladies, but keep your head up”

I’m not going to be the girl you marry, but I’ll be the girl you’ll be thinking of 20 years from now while you engage in polite sex with your boring wife who fakes her orgasm to make you feel better about your receding hairline.
