so what do i have to say about the tsunami. Horrifyingly little. i reacted as usual with clinical detachment. I switched channels expressly to avoid the images. I was not compelled to pack my bags and go to nagapattinam or start blogs. Instead I danced around the bonfire on the 31st and forgot to feel the guilt of an urban, well-off citizen in the face of an unimaginable disaster somewhere else, far away. Unforgivably I am not sad.
