Nancy Adajania’s “Woman Is As Woman Does” and its Profound Influence
True to its name, “Woman Is As Woman Does” does not view gender as a static identity. It featured artists from all societal backgrounds, including those who maintain traditional studio practices alongside artists who produce zines and graphic novels, whilst also catering to a multilingual audience through a selection of works that spoke in diverse languages encompassing Bhojpuri, Magahi, Gujarati, Urdu, Hindi-Halbi, Marathi, Nepali, and English. “My curatorial projects are scripted like a polyphonic musical score, in which each artist makes her own individual contribution while taking her place in a larger composition shaped through counterpoint. The idea was to immerse the viewer in these debates and discussions at a visceral level” Adajania concludes.
Excerpt from Mash.

01.06: frivolous joys i had as i spent a day in mumbai
rode in a taxi; might sound dull but i’ve always wanted to be in a mumbai taxi; the drivers were very sweet
simply stood and stared in awe at chhatrapati shivaji terminus; it IS majestic
had pani puri at juhu beach - a place of romantic interest to my parents; although i could barely see the sand because it was so crowded
had the time of my life in chhatrapati shivaji maharaj vastu sangrahalaya; didn’t want to leave; locals get to visit this place regularly? i’m jealous
gained a lot of respect for people who can drive in mumbai
enjoyed my hotel stay; i had quite some free time so i took over the sofa and finished a book in one sitting; the fishermen by chigozie obioma was so gripping and haunting; a story about brotherhood, family, a madman, prophecies, grief, violence, colonialism, and much more all wrapped up in a beautifully written folktale; has a striking resemblance to the oral storytelling traditions of many indigenous cultures

For #WorldElephantDay 🐘:
Tumblr media
Pair of Earrings in the Form of Dancing Elephants India, Deccan, 19th c. Gold inlaid with rubies & sapphires 1 1/2 × 1 1/2 × 1/2 in. (3.81 × 3.81 × 1.27 cm) each LACMA M.86.49a-b
Curator notes:
“These charming earrings in the form of dancing or frolicking elephants are made of gold inlaid with rubies and sapphires. They are close in design shape to the more common type of pendant earrings made in the form of a makara (mythical aquatic animal), which also feature a similar upturned snout and curved lower body. Makara earrings have an ancient heritage in South Asia, where they adorn images of Buddhist and Hindu deities, most notably Shiva and Vishnu. Various additional animals and symbolic objects were used to embellish and distinguish earrings, including lions, serpents, jewels, conchs, and sacred books. Earrings in the form of joyous elephants may also draw their inspiration from paintings of the same subject, such as representations of elephants sporting during the summer month of Jyeshtha (May-June in the Hindu lunisolar calendar). For a particularly apt illustration, see a mid-18th century painting from Bundi now in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, Mumbai (55.97).”

THIS WEEK'S THE WEEK, FOLKS hopefully
IM GOING TO TRY TO CATHC UP ON CS WEEKLY AW YEAH!! ALRIGHT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
IT'S TIME FOR THE CHASING PAPER CAPER!
Tumblr media
(look how cool these stars are they actually are sharp!! i folded a few of them, look!)
Tumblr media
highly recommend- super easy to do with just sticky notes
ANYWAY here we go!!! notes under the cut as usual <3
MAN i am late on this episode but i am soo excited for it!!!
maelstrom wins for worst eyebags
sdjjfd mael's like yeah 💅 perhaps I am a little deranged
mael's va put his pussy into saying "intellect"
everyone and their mother has made vile presentation power point jokes already so im not going to beat a dead horse but. yeah. thats so fucking funny
CLEO ROLLS HER EYES AT BRUNT TOO HAHAHA
Tumblr media
this bitch i stg
the way she smacks that table when she says darn right. i do believe her. she is texas proud. she would hate abortion
i also like that the show uses brunt as a vessel for the american seven year olds watching this who also have no idea what the magna carta is. its cool
i had no idea there were seventeen original copies of the magna carta. i guess i should have guessed but i think im used to the constitu- never mind there are 13 copies of that too. okay well we're learning today
okay so i think the museum the magna cartas is in is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya?? it looks very similar
Tumblr media Tumblr media
in style, if a little changed for the show. really cool! i guess they didnt want to have to try to pronounce the name though
law and disorder (svu theme chime)
stealing paper, yes. but have you considered that paper star also. folds and throws and destroys with that paper and is generally NOT great at keeping it intact
bark bark i love watching season 1 through a post-shadowsan reveal lens. he knows paper star IS a threat, unlike most of the other operatives, so he opposes the idea,,
love maelstrom just cutting shadowsan off with a vote. he's stealing the symbols of democracy so his colleagues cant keep skipping out on majority rules
there actually is a cafe on the museum grounds that isnt EXACTLY where carmen is sitting but is pretty close. cs team did their research with this one
some guy named john is so funny
player jumped from the very general "you can't be arrested for no reason" to "YOU CANT HAVE YOUR HORSE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU" very quickly
well there isnt actually any "of the liberties" in the direct translation but alright
love how they have the english article "the" in the title of the magna cartas while talking about how its latin wheeze
rest in piece 3/4 turn views of the face. the carmen sandiego artstyle is beautiful until it has to neogotiate carmen not having a nose
interesting that the museum gets subtly lighted in green. we alll know what that means
i like the dramatic reveal of paper star but i also think. how did player not notice the security cams were already down
Tumblr media
she had a lil choker
i love paper star so much. she's fantastic
she does make horse noises when she skips though, which is why jo likes her so much
Tumblr media
yeah. paper star is so cool
Tumblr media
hmmm
THEY HAVE NEVER WRITTEN A BETTER AND MORE DEFINING LINE IN THIS SHOW THAN "RED IS A SMART COLOR FOR YOU. IT WILL HIDE THE STAINS." WHAT THE FUCK THEY POPPED OFFF ON THAT LINE
SHE SAYS IT AND CARMEN CANT DO SHIT SHE JUST RUNS. CARMEN IS LITERALLY ON THE DEFENSIVE ALWAYS IN THIS FIGHT KSHFDSH ITS SO GOOD
you know shit is real when someone protects the face
i love how carmen puts her fists up to fight like a normal operative v carmen fight and then ps just pulls out the stars its so funny. its like the indiana jones scene when he just pulls out a gun
YES this fight is a challenge for carmen and i LOVE IT
Tumblr media
LITERALLY WHAT COULD BE BETTER CARMEN ALMOST GETS STABBED IN THE NECK ITS GREAT. PAPER STAR IS A GREAT VILLAIN. YEAH
so glad kimiko glenn could voice her god she does such a good job
paper star used up the smear frame budget in this one scene alone
i love how carmen tries her quip and fight formula again and AGAIN paper star is like. no <3 i am going to rip you to shreds with this terrible pun i made up and carmen is SO OVER IT JSDHGHS
love how carmen didnt move like girlie what did you think she was going to do with those pamphlets
papertiger fans go wild
no way did that fucking tiger decapitate a stone statue what the fuck does she put in there knives??? paper star gives children razors in their halloween candy i guess
once again carmen's love for saving things that she has mostly already ruined causes her to have a disadvantage! it sure would suck if another falling statue at some point was weaponized. that would suck
LOOK AT THE GOUGES THOSE PAMPHLET STARS MADE WHAT THE FUCK
Tumblr media
the cut hat staying there is so funny to me for some reason
dont try to be sneaky, carmen. just walk right up the center
the transitions with the tapestry and paperstar's folds are cool as fuck
Tumblr media
HOW DID SHE GET UP THERE
also she disappears behind that second tapestry which means she was clinging onto the back of the fabric like a koala. good image
paper star: wraps carmen in a tapestry s4 evil carmen in the finale: hey that was a good idea. julia come here
paper star is the queerest bitch on the map at all times and i love her so much for that
laughing so hard imagining how many takes gina had to do of carmen's pained moaning as she struggles in the paper wrap
yeah. paper star. okay as if i haven't gushed about her enough she is. so good. the little mm-mm-mm! as carmen struggles. going against all of vile's ideals as she leaves traces EVERYWHERE and then pulls the fire alarm, not hiding in plain sight at all. she leaves carmen wrapped up for the cops. yeah. god. yeah
least favorite part of this episode of carmen being more upset about her hat than she is about losing The Fucking Magna Cartas and GOOD GRAVY SHE MOANS ABOUT THE HAT FOR SO LONG CARMEN YOU HAVE LIKE FIFTEEN
i love seeing the remains of the fight when acme steps in the next day!! you can track where paper star shot at carmen and then wrapped her up, where she was firing on the first floor, the different types of paper..
where did paper star put that glass circle she cut out
chase just randomly picks up evidence barehanded and then tosses it to the floor 2. fuck him fuck him straight to hell. so glad this is a pro-julia episode jhfashgdfa
all she does is romanticize the scoundrel it is all she CAN do
yeah acme is secret and not even their families know about it. but also every cop ever knows about it too okay
chase. thats it thats the post (i dont actually hate him. hes funny. but also insufferable at times. that is our wife you are slandering, sir)
Tumblr media
i cant tell if i want to make a joke or a serious comment about how she's doing a finger gun at the image of carmen so i'll just leave it here
Tumblr media
FULL OF LOVE AND AUTISM
chase: the only agent who has been face to face with her the train scene: i am about to ruin this whole man's career
HAH. says player. next on the news
(eda voice) look its an outdated human reference
why was le chevre up there. did he come down from the cliff face just for fun. or scale it just for fun. nevermind that checks out
the people in this show have ankles of steel they be dropping 20-30 feet and just fine with it
everyone tries to banter with paper star and she just. no
the shifty glance around from le chevre shdgkjsghd
the drop in her tone and face when she says he looks like he would get caught is so good
PIPPI PUNKSTOCKINGS
she is straight up torturing this guy how did paper star get past the censors
its like he was swinging his dick around in her face and going NOO NOT MY DICK PLEASE NOT MY DICK you are literally offering them as targets sir they are the closest thing to her
and from that day on fanfiction writers across the globe only called her tammy again
rOLL CREDITS /ref
oh i havent mentioned the music in this episode yet. its so good. yeah
the animation also is beautiful. the train is very nice w/ the reflections in the water
and then chase showed up to ruin her day
THE LITTLE tsk. ugh. SHE DOES IS SO FUNNY
i love how she's just humoring him he's not even in the realm of worth her full attention
honestly impressed by how chill chase is in the conversation? last time he was on a train with "her" he whipped off "her" hat and screamed in "her" face. then with ivy he jumped her snowmobile and triumphantly yelled at her again
he's just kind of like. yeah cool. im around carmen sandiego. we should have a lovely chat and then i shall get her to lead me calmly to the magna cartas. this could not possibly go wrong
love chase where did he think she was hiding them
Tumblr media
awww theyre holding hands
criminal of this show to not show her kicking his ass in the tunnel it would have been soo funny
i love the little fakeout they do in the tunnel too. like omg did he cuff her??? no she used an uno reverse card
ALSO the little details of this show. before carmen says "or what? you'll cuff me?" she glances out the train window. she already has this scene so perfectly choreographed in her mind that she can just time the tunnel and make her escape its so good
acme keycard!!!! little did carmen know that pickpocketing that card would lead to coach brunt most of the way murdering her in a basement a few weeks from now
HERE WE GO YOU GUYS THE GAY SCENE OF ALL TIME
AGAIN julia is on her tablet gosh i dont know why i dont ever think of her as tech savvy but she is ALWAYS tapping on that thing
julia is so nice to her carmen just. sits dsgjagkdsh
THE WAY SORRY CAN YOU IMAGINE IF SOME RANDO HOT LADY SAT DOWN ACROSS FROM YOU WITH NO PERMISSION AND THEN JUST WENT PARTNER 🤨🤨🤨🤨???? AT YOU WHEN YOU MENTIONED THE WORD LIKE SHE WAS DOING HER MAKEUP (so it seemed) AND SHE JUST. DROPPED EVERYTHING
is the plausible reason that "partner" set off cop warnings in carmen's head? yes. but is the gay reason that she wanted to make sure she wasn't about to flirt with some poor married woman? also yes is the gay response to this gay reason julia canonically going "NO GOD IM NOT WITH HIM WITH HIM"? yes and yes!!
THE IMMEDIATE JULES GOD
julia puts down her tablet and gives her FULL attention to carmen to talk about the taj mahal,,, yeahh....
ALSO i enjoy how carmen maneuvers the conversation. she asks julia's name and then immediately asks an engaging question afterward so that julia doesn't think to ask for HER name...
love how julia leans forward to talk to carmen augh...she is so engaged and relaxed
that line is so fucking iconic. the Eyes she's giving. the lean. she loves history even more. the fucking setup for way down in season 4
HAHAAAA JULIA PICKS UP ON THAT LITTTLE TINY CLUE CARMEN DROPS HER SO FAST AND I LOVE THAT SO MUCH...THE WAY SHE JUST IMMEDIATELY SITS UP AND HER BRAIN GOES wait a minute something about that remark wasn't right YEAH...YEAH YEAH YEAH
AND THEN SHE JUST STANDS UP OUT OF SHOCK ONCE SHE REALIZES WHO SHE JUST CHATTED WITH HEHEHE
god i honestly think that if chase hadn't been putting her down and scoffing at her interests and making her stay behind at crime scenes she would have gone after carmen. can you IMAGINE how different the episode would have been if she'd gone after her???? GOD (i can imagine....i have imagined....the polycule has done....a LOT of imagining...)
that liiiittle glance behind that carmen does to see if julia is following her before she starts focusing on paper star..
man i NEVER used to be able to figure out how paper star sensed carmen peeking around the corner but i realized about a year ago that she saw her reflection in the window...AUGH the little details of this show are so good
THE WAY CARMEN JUST POUNCES ON HER IS SO FUNNY
that gay little roll. paper star makes every fight just a little gay actually. now kiss
those shoes must have hurt so bad to get kicked with ow
second toilet paper joke of the episode. laugh.
i love the pro-environment message this episode was halfheartedly trying to juggle. it did not come across fantastically
the way paper star's eyes light up when she sees new paper is great
PAPER STAR'S THEME IS SO GOOOD....HOW SHE JUST. she just goes. "you should run." somehow she's the most campy villain and the most down-to-earth serious threat could and would kill you villain in the show and she rocks both at once
Tumblr media
paper star is vaccuming her
you also know shit gets real when the background turns into a mass of colored streaks
i ALSO love about paper star that she can and does hold her own in hand-to-hand. yeah she's bet with her stars but she can pack a punch or a kick
TELL ME HOW CARMEN NABBED THAT CASE IN THE MILLISECOND BETWEEN PAPER STAR GRABBING THE PAPERS AND DRAWING BACK
carmen: yes i do think i will run now
i also like this fight because we don't often get to see carmen fighting when she's not in her trench coat. it gives it a much more sporadic, caught-off-guard feel to the whole thing somehow- which is again a trademark of paper star!! she doesn't do things like everyone else
something about the way carmen sprints to the end of the train and then turns around is so fucking funny. yes that is the last car! congratulations! its a good thing you came up here instead of trapping yourself in the interior of the last car I guess
rock paper scissors wind
THE FLIP OVER THE SHOULDER GAY STARE IS ALSO ICONIC AND SUCH A GOOD MOVE. carmen initiated it but fuck if she knows what she's going to do afterwards
ill say it again and a fcuking gain how much i like how much of a threat paper star is. yes girl. fling her off the train not once (sort of) but twice. carmen was an inch away from falling headfirst off that train and she knew it
i am not sure how exactly carmen pulled herself up from a lean by grabbing paper star's boobs and pulling her towards her but im good with it. also look at this animation she is desperate!! yess!!!!!! EMOTION!!!!
Tumblr media
AND LEGO HANDS!!!!
now KISS
Tumblr media
OBSESSED WITH HOW STRONG PAPER STAR IS WHEEZE SHE JUST F L I N G S CARMEN OFF THE SIDE. HER FEET ARE OFF THE FLOOR. BYE
the couple not even looking up from the newspaper is so funny
i love the broken physics of that vent(?) cover (?) throw its extremely entertaining to watch
carmen's triumph motif playing and then cutting to paper star just hanging there while a crow squawks at her is very funny. she just looks at it. i would like to think she makes friends with it. she does like murder
"agent devineaux??" "mnyeh.."
AND SHE DELIVERS THE MAGNA CARTAS TO HERRRR
good hands :))))
i love that she doesn't even need to say anything. we are just left to understand that paper star did end up one-upping her here in the end, and its this moment that nearly kills both her and chase
sassypants
i like the contrast of brunt and cleo shielding themselves when she throws the card, versus maelstrom standing and not flinching. he knows her better than they do
damn
Tumblr media
i thought that was a vase theyre just his pants
HEHEE GOD THATS A GOOD EPISODE. yeah. yeah. okay
thats all i have to say for this one. other than the french connections caper this is my favorite episode in season 1!!

Things to do in Mumbai
Tumblr media
Mumbai activities that consider the city’s extensive history, eclectic culture, mouthwatering cuisine, and well-known landmarks. This improved tour provides a more thorough look at this vibrant city:
Tumblr media
Mumbai, often known as Bombay, is the financial and entertainment center of India. It is a city that is continually busy. Here, tradition, culture, and modernity all coexist to give visitors an extraordinary and one-of-a-kind experience. One of your first destinations should be the magnificent Gateway of India, a symbol of Mumbai’s past and a well-liked expedition starting point. Some of the best specimens of Victorian Gothic architecture can be found in the surrounding historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The museums in Mumbai maintain its cultural heritage. Visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya to discover how art and history are entwined and the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Institute to learn about the history of the city.
There is a sensory explosion of sights, sounds, and smells in Mumbai’s crowded markets. The well-known retail district Colaba Causeway is where you can find a wide selection of apparel, jewelry, handicrafts, and souvenirs. Contrarily, Crawford Market is a bustling center for locally grown foods, spices, and other pleasures. While visiting these marketplaces, don’t forget to try some of Mumbai’s renowned street cuisine. The city’s street food culture is a gastronomic journey all on its own with dishes like the hot vada pav, delicious pav bhaji, and tangy bhel puri.
To get a taste of Mumbai’s diversity, visit Dharavi, one of Asia’s largest slums, where you can take a guided tour and hear about the resilience and creativity of its residents. This in-depth encounter will put your prejudices to the test, and you’ll leave with a newfound respect for the feeling of community in the area.
Tumblr media
Take a stroll down Marine Drive, often known as the Queen’s Necklace due to its brilliant nighttime lights, to fully experience Mumbai’s coastal allure. Because of the spectacular views of the Arabian Sea at sunset, both locals and tourists love this promenade.
Get out of the congested city streets and explore the mysterious Elephanta Caves. From Mumbai, you can immediately take a ferry to Elephanta Island, where you can explore historic rock-cut tunnels decorated with incredible sculptures and carvings, including the well-known Trimurti sculpture.
The old and the contemporary coexist in Mumbai, a city of contrasts. Although it is a thriving metropolis, it values its spiritual past. Mumbai’s religious diversity is honored by the majestic mosque known as Haji Ali Dargah, which is located on an island in the Arabian Sea and offers a calm sanctuary from the activity of the city. An additional sacred place and a representation of the city’s devotion is the Siddhivinayak Temple, which is devoted to Lord Ganesha.
Tumblr media
Consider taking a day excursion to Sanjay Gandhi National Park, a huge oasis in the middle of the urban jungle, if you’re looking for a closer connection with nature. Hike through the area’s lush vegetation, take in the Kanheri Caves’ old Buddhist sculptures, and maybe you’ll even spot some local species like deer and leopards.
As soon as the sun goes down, Mumbai’s thriving nightlife bursts to life. Among other fun locations, rooftop bars and live music venues provide views of the Arabian Sea. If you really want to comprehend Mumbai, go see a Bollywood film in one of its best theaters. You’ll get a taste of the glamour and drama of Mumbai’s Bollywood thanks to this cultural encounter.
Tumblr media
Mumbai’s inhabitants also referred to as Mumbaikars, are a testament to the city’s tenacity in a context defined by its frenetic speed and ambition. Mumbai is more than just a tourist destination because of the people’s tenacity, kindness, and feeling of community; it is an encounter that will have a lasting effect on your heart and spirit. Mumbai offers a fascinating voyage full of discoveries and activities, whether you want to experience the city’s vibrant energy or go sightseeing and eat street food.
Conclusion
In Mumbai, every street has a distinct history to share, every turn is an exhilarating journey, and every encounter with a local is precious. Mumbai is a lovely, energetic city. For travelers seeking an exciting and engaging experience, this city is a must-visit destination because it has many facets and embodies India’s past, present, and future. Whether you’re exploring iconic landmarks like the Gateway of India or savoring the vibrant street food scene, every moment in Mumbai is enriched by the city’s vibrant spirit. When it’s time to rest and recharge, the Empresa Hotel comfortable and convenient haven amidst the bustling streets, ensuring your stay in this dynamic city is both memorable and enjoyable.

Don't forget to capture some memorable photos! Next, head towards Colaba, a charming neighborhood nearby.

Lunchtime Indulgence
After all that exploring, you'll surely have worked up an appetite. Try some authentic Maharashtrian cuisine at a local eatery. Savor some delicious dishes like pav bhaji, vada pav, or a hearty plate of biryani.
Evening Magic
As the evening sets in, head towards the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, an engineering marvel that connects the suburbs of Bandra and Worli. Enjoy the stunning views and capture the city's skyline against the Arabian Sea backdrop.
A visit to Bandstand Promenade is a must for any Bollywood enthusiast. This seaside stretch is where stars often stroll and you might even spot a celebrity! Take in the sea breeze and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
