ABOUT Kaveetaa Kaul

kaveetaa.jpg
The author of this blog has never felt as confounded, non-plussed,flummoxed , than now, on seeing this blank page with a single word ‘About’ staring back from the title box, despite having passionately written over two hundred posts in Sachiniti. How does it matter really if, that which it is ‘about’ is left ambiguous, indistinct, unperceived, inexplicit! After all, a name is as if, written on water, to be eventually washed away, leaving no trace of having existed.

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it.

So read on.. enjoy that which resonates with your experience, ignore that which leaves you unmoved, cherish that which makes you think. Life is only an answer to that which the mind has queried!

The image of the fish and bowls can conjure up a myriad meanings to as many minds. To me it interpreted as :

Freedom-the power to live as one wishes.

“Sachiniti” means ‘veracious principles’.

Am connected with the world of art and journalism.

  1. Hello there,

    This comment is rather out of place, but here’s where it seems to fit best.

    I won’t belabor the point of me liking your style of writing; if it isn’t too much of a hitch, I’d really like it if you could muster some advice on it. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to write the last word of my first book, but for the immediate objective, I need to do well in Analytical Writing Assessment section of the GRE–it shouldn’t be long before the scorers see the pointless absurdity of my writing.

    I’m on Yahoo! messenger as “endorphis”; alternatively, you could send me a few links you deem appropriate, or send me whatever the hell you like. Also, you could simply ignore the plea, and delete this “comment”?

    Thanks!

  6. Hey Kaveeta!
    I am a regular at Sachiniti and identify with it in ways more than one…! :)

    I have a health related question & hope u’ll b able to address it with all ur ayurveda, yoga, et al knowledge…. :)

    My body is warmer than others’. My eyes burn & water and soles & palms are tired most of the day! What are the dos & donts for reducin body-heat? The foods, drinks, eneral dos, etc?
    Thanks!

    Comment by Me here — January 27, 2007 @ 4:59 am

  7. Hi Me Here,

    Ummm.Am not an ayurveda know -all. But can give you a few tips.
    *First thing in the morning, have a glass of water with lime…followed by a glass of’lauki’( gourd) juice, to which you can add ground roasted ‘jeera’ or cummin seeds. It has a cooling tendency. You will feel its benefits in a week or so.

    *Avoid meat and eggs for a while, as well as garlic. Concentrate on freshly cooked, easily assimilated vegeatbles and fruits. Avoid breads, and flour products.

    *Increase your intake of water to atleast 8 glasses a day.

    * Pranayamas, or breathing exercises, especially ‘Kapal bhatti’ and ‘anulom vilom’ will be extremely beneficial. If you can get hold of Baba Ramdevs cd’s, it will help in explaining the procedure.

    *Try and read up some books on acupressure, then pressure points of the soles and hands, five minutes a day if methodically worked on, create balance of the ‘doshas’ in the body. You will find that certain points in your hand pain on pressing, around the centre of hand probably. Press and release to the count of ten.

    * Eye drops made of rose water and honey, or ‘Cineraria maritima succus’, a homeopathic concoction, is efficacious for cooling eyes.

    *Wheat grass juice, or chewing on the grass is ofcourse the panacea for all ills.

    Hope it will be of help..All the Best!

  8. Hey Kaveeta,
    aam extremely sorry that I cudn’t return here to read & thank you… I hope you’ll excuse me for that. So sorry! & why no posts of late? Please write something, if you can, on the absolutely adorable Aishwarya Rai! :)

  9. Hi Me Here,

    I notice that like me, you belong to the miniscule class of those who are in favour of Ms. Rai. You only have to read my ‘Guru’ Review to see how hard I have to battle for proving her talent. few seem to agree on her histrionics.

    Comment by kaveetaakaul — February 14, 2007 @ 11:36 am

  10. Oh yeah… may be! But then I admire her personality on the whole.

    The facts that she was an ‘A’ student despite being distractingly gorgeous, she is humble enough to attribute all her success to God’s blessings, her answers are smart even to silly questions, her stance on sensitive & unpleasant issues is almost always positive, she carries herself in society & reacts to uneasy situations in a dignified manner, etc just keep me enthralled! :)

    This damsel unlike others of her genre has not “wasted” her gifts with an incorrect attitude. Hats off to her! A lady of her kind is made only once in a century, methinks…. :)

  14. Hi!
    I am in a loving, happy relationship but now that time has come to take our relationship forward towards marriage my boyfriend does not seem ready and seems to be getting cold feet. is there anything i can do to ease his mind and give him the confidence to take the next step.

    Comment by anonymous — April 9, 2007 @ 1:05 pm

  15. Hi anonymous,

    Taking your relationship forward into marriage should ideally be a decision taken by both in all seriousness. As you realise, its not just about getting married but sustaining it, nurturing and guarding it along a path not often strewn with roses. Therefore if one of the partners has been coaxed/cajoled into marriage, resentment is bound to create upheavals.

    Talk it over with him..your concerns, his concerns, your understanding of the institution of marriage. Communication is key here. To be able to gage the reasons for his ‘cold feet’ a friendly, no-hassle air between the two of you will help.

    In the absence of details to do with age, career etc, all one can say is that you have to be guided by instinct and intuition to know whether he is leading you up the garden path with no commitment in mind..or is it just a matter of being nervy. Tread carefully. We invest a lot of ourselves in relationships sometimes unmindful of the other’s intentions. Don’t allow yourself to be taken for a ride.

    If you like you can place a red lamp and some roses in the South West of your living room.

    All the best and God Bless!

Thanks a ton!!! keep up the good work, and I assure you from this very moment m a dedicated reader of this site.

  23. Dear Ms Kaul,

    I am grateful for your support to the petition.

    Teachers are under pressure since Guru Dronacharya’s time.

    Indian middle class though timid has potential to bring India out of morass.

  25. Hi Kaveeta,

    Accidently came across your blog. Enjoyed reading your stories & comments on various subjects. Was trying to track some cousins in the Film Industry & lo and behold..Walks in Kaveeta Kaul. Your blog is marked in my Favs. & plan to follw it regularly.

    Been away from India for over 45 years..but you can’t take India out of me. By the way I knew Amitabh Bachchan very well in Calcutta..Who would have thought that this guy will be the king of bollywood one day.. I am happy for him..Haven’t seen him for 45 years..They forget when they reach the top..I understand it..Enough for today…You are not related to Pawan Kaul by any chance…

    Comment by Vijay Kaul — November 1, 2007 @ 3:20 am

  26. I really liked the article on Aamir and Faisal.I can understand why judge passed the verdict of giving custody to Tahir,i hope father lives upto being one and takes care of his ill son.One feels sad for aamir who wanted to do well . I just hope media doent go after him,trying to settle scores for his being unfriendly to them.
    Don’t know if you came across this article of Government in Chand Africa having arrested 9 french women who as per them were being smuggled out to Europe. As per women they clainm that they were rescued/migrated from the trouble spot of dafur. they claim all they wanted to do was get them attched to europen families who could take care of them. if one looks at the pics of these girls, one is forced to believe their story.
    I am narrating this story to you to just point out that there have been number of cases where good intentions of individuals have ended up paining them.offcourse i am assuming the story told by frech giorls to be true.

    I came acoss your site following aamirs story,but then few of ur other articles.this site sure will be part of my fav,
    cheers and keep writing.

  28. Hi cousin Vijay,

    Welcome and Glad you approve of my blog. I try.

    Ab is known to have an elephantine memory..who knows he may well recall your days together.

    Good to know India is yet deeply etched within. Am I related to Mr. Kaul? Yes..I am :)

    Comment by kaveetaakaul — November 1, 2007 @ 11:17 pm

  29. Hi Ashu,

    Welcome and thanks for your kind words.

    Sorry to read about the deplorable act involving the girls. I guess we have to simply do our bit with sincerity and dedicatedly. There is a plan in store for each one of us. We have to believe in it without worrying on whether or not we will reap the fruits . Aamir has done his best..its amply clear. In a world where siblings often disown conveniently, he has chosen instead to stand by his brother. Truth will prevail. As our sages say ‘ Satyamev jayate’.

    Cheers :)

    Comment by Anne Guedes — February 4, 2008 @ 9:50 pm

  31. This doesnt seem like a case of someone who was playing the choking game. either he was miming a ‘hanging act he might have seen at the movies or on television or then actually desired death…which is truly sad.

  37. A fellow lover of OPN’s music……..I still have to explore all the songs he made. Perhaps we can meet some day and compare notes. In the meantime, happy writing and enjoy music - there is very little in life that can supplant music as a source of pleasure, inspiration, satisfaction and happiness……..
