The Discovery of Perry Mason

Friday 7.11.08
I read a comment on this blog in which fellow blogger vedang suggested a fiction character called Perry Mason.
Now, Mystery happens to be my fav genre and i have read innumerable books and authors and never heard or read about Erle Stanley Gardner the creator of this character we are talking about.
But from past month or so I have been hearing a lot about this author.
And to my great surprise when i was browsing through my fav bookstore;s shelves in the afternoon, for the first time in years i saw a huge stack of the Perry Mason's series.
Impulisvely i picked it up, and as of now i have finished reading the case of negligent nymph.
Its been a very very intresting dicovery for me.
I feel, a purpose of creating this blog is now being accomplished atleast for me.
Just few weeks ago, i bought and read, the count of Monte Cristo as i had read about it, on this blog.
Aneesh had written a very encouraging about the book, and although i dont enjoy reading classics much, I tried it and it was a good experience.
And now, thanks to Vedang and Akansha [who at first mentioned Perry Mason] I found one more very important aspect of crime novels.
The voting on this blog cleary suggests that few months along the line this blog will have to be shut down, but somehow i am glad some knowledge has indeed been gained.
Afterall that was my purpose

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still pouring t...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
