With three films this year, I felt a surr beginning, a rasp, not a song, like a cat's tongue might feel before it licked your skin. I knew that I wanted to write about them. But I had other things to do. And the moment for saying anything went away.

Maybe the feeling will come back.

We usually have an above-the head shelf for throwing words in moments when you know a feeling is running away from you. All my life, I have reached inside it and felt about till I found polayuga, a word in Malayalam for twitching in discomfort or pain, while looking for the right word to begin talking about the agonies that talking to people caused me. You should see what I do every day now.
