Home Actress Lisa Ray Instagram Photos and Posts – May 2020 Part 2 Lisa Ray Instagram - So this popped up...back when red carpets were a thing. I think we were still courting when this photo was taken- because god knows we avoid public gatherings now, even before COVID-19. It’s called growing old together. And by the way, how the hell does anyone date/meet/fall in love in this new world order?

Lisa Ray Instagram – I had an exchange on social media (ahem twitter) that left me feeling raw and prickly, confused and defensive. A presumably professional Indian woman who lives in America responded to one of my tweets by sharing ‘I have two boys but I think if I had a girl I might end up protecting her the same way Devi’s mom did.’ This all started when I voiced my opinion on the Netflix series #NeverHaveIEver. But forget that, I became fixated by her blatant gender biased admission that girls need protecting, not sons. As the mom of twin daughters, of course this hits home and hard. 
I had to ask myself why this notion triggers me so deeply. I came up with two things: .

1. Women re-enforcing patriarchal ideas and unwilling to decode those attitudes in 2020 is…um…I don’t want to be impolite now, so I’ll just say disappointing.

2. Treating daughters differently from sons is dangerous. It comes down to this: victim-shaming. A woman who has been ‘protected’ her whole life is often the one who shoulders blame in a case where she is violated. We see this happen with dispiriting regularity. Why did she dress like that? She was asking for trouble staying out at night. All these patriarchal judgements mouthed mindlessly, rather than rotten societal attitudes over turned.

Anyhow, I take every opportunity to expose my girls to strong, empathetic, open minded woman moulding their lives and dreams with determination and compassion.

Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @amitavawriter using @RepostRegramApp – Scroll is running a series called The Art of Solitude. I was asked to supply 200 words about a book, a piece of music, or art that offers solace. Here is my contribution:

The world comes to us in the form of bad news. For a year now, or maybe longer, I have been cutting out a piece of the daily newspaper and painting over it. I guess I don’t want to be passive or helpless before that onslaught of news. Maybe I’m seeking understanding, or just plain solace.

I live in upstate New York. I cut out a report on, say, the Trump administration or something terrible happening in the world, and then paint what I see outside my window. I think that’s how it all started. I have a whole folder on my computer now of news from around the world that I take a look at now and then.

In recent days, with the experience of lockdown, I have found myself returning to an image from Kashmir. A rash of cancellations during a period of curfew. It is heartbreaking and I have not been able to yet imagine what I want to draw over it.

I could read the names over and over again as if I were repeating the words of a sad prayer.  #quarantine #lockdown #kashmir
