[chaand-sitara]

A girl named Sitara, moved to a remote town, looking for peace with a mysterious little baby girl whose name was Ahilya, there, one man named Raunak Sahab took 'pity' on Sitara and let her stay.

Over the course, Raunak Sahabh was always skeptical towards Sitara, her sudden appearance from a buzzing city to a remote town, the baby and her overall 'damsel in distress' act which everyone bought but not him.

Sitara had told people how her parents had disowned her after she had became pregnant with Ahilya, the town people ate the story up and took care of her, the thing was, the little town had extremely less elidgle female women to get married to, as almost all were married off.

So people were trying to set Sitara with their sons, Sitara knew this and took this as her advantage, then an old woman named aga bai, or who was a trans woman called agastya, was caring towards Sitara because how pretty she was.

Sitara never let Ahilya get out of her sight, suddenly few men started disappearing from the town, in the course of eight weeks, or roughly around 2 and half months, there were 5 dead bodies found.

Everyone was concerned as to who was doing this, but Raunak Sahab knew it was Sitara, her random absences, constant need to take a rest when visible and signs of struggle on her arm.

One day Raunak Sahab brought the police to show Sitara was the one behind it, having proof as she had said to herself one day that she had written the whole plan in a diary and Raunak Sahab had heard her. The police couldn't find anything, but before they could leave, Aga bai shouted from behind, exclaiming that they should check Raunak Sahab's hut too!

As he had blamed an innocent young girl, making everyone slowly agree to Aga bai, the police did so, much to Raunak Sahab's dismay, and found a diary, filled with his finger prints, it was his old diary on which he tried to start a journal on but couldn't do so.

In the diary, they found all the plans regarding all the 5 dead bodies and a new one about how Sitara would be killed off, as she was being a hurdle.

The police immediately arrested Raunak Sahab, and he was brought to the station, this case interested the CBI sub head Atul Deshpande, who was a serious, clever and witty officer.

He interviewed Raunak, in which he stated how Sitara was extremely suspicious from the start, and he never murdered anyone, Atul also suspected Sitara and asked her to be brought to the CBI office.

Sitara knew she was maybe in trouble, shlo she had all her stuff packed, and took Ahilya with her to the office.

Atul then brutally interrogated Sitara, but she had a calm face throughout the whole time, he unwillingly had to let go of her, as she was leaving, she saw from behind the people of the office were running after her.

She also then quickly sprinted, running down, skipping stairs and jumping from one stair case to another, this caught the eye of one of the most skilled young CBI officers, Neelkanth Vaikunth, or as he liked to be called, Neel.

Atul saw Neel downstairs and told him to run after the girl, Sitara had left her bag and grabbed Ahilya and sprinted off into the forest.

She was too quick and Neel wasn't able to catch her. They took her bag to examine the fingerprints, but her profile wasn't visible, at all, as If Sitara was a dead woman.

Sitara had placed Ahilya in a safe place, with someone she trusted. And went to go to a bathhouse, which was actually near the office, but not too near, but Sitara knew that they won't search for her near the place she ran from

After the bath, she came out wrapped in towel and gasped when she saw Neel there, but calmed down when he got flustered and left, she then realised Neel didn't knew how she looked like.

She came in her clothes to see Neel with his CBI officers, who were their friends and one of them was his girlfriend as she was clinging onto him.

Neel then saw Sitara coming out and apologised for what he had done, thinking it was his girlfriend, Isha, who had told him to come in after she had been dressed but he had went to the room next to hers.

Sitara forgave him and smiled, Neel unknowingly stared at her smile but then then snapped out of the trance when his friend cleared his throat and he realised the girl wasn't there anymore.

Just after a while they had gotten a message from Atul saying they found Sitara, they went inside the interrogation room, to wait for Atul to bring the girl in as he had said.

Atul had actually captured Sitara, and had told her to go in the interrogation room, As he had something to bring, Sitara sneakily grabbed a glass of tea to drink as she was thirsty,and then went inside to see all of them she had met at the bath house.

Neel then smiled at her, saying she was here to send the tea? Sitara looked at him for a second and then agreed, saying the tea was for Atul, Neel's friend then said to bring some for them also.

Sitara quickly nodded and was about to leave the room but Atul came in, he was in shock to See Sitara not in cuffs! She pushed him to the ground and ran outside the office and towards the forest, Neel was surprised that it was the girl who was Sitara, so he sprinted towards her before Atul could order him.

Neel ran after her with his friends behind, she was visible but not too much, suddenly he heard a gunshot, and looked behind to see Isha had shot Sitara, Neel then bursted on Isha, for shooting a suspect Atul needed alive.

Isha then scoffed saying she wasn't important and they just needed her, their friend Ashish, calmed Neel down and told him to walk towards the body, they all three did but to their surprise, they didn't find her body!

If they had paid attention to their surroundings properly, they would have seen Aga bai carrying Sitara away from the scene and taking her away...

(something which came in my dream and I needed to write it somewhere! Plus, after posting this, I am gonna add their aesthetics! This is fun! There will be a second part but then that's all.)

Conference Paper: ‘Maternal Bodies: Individual, Collective, Other’, The Maternal Bodies Network Symposium

Paper: ‘Hardly a Heavenly Body: Alice Neel’s ‘Degenerate Madonna’ and the Antibeauty of Maternal Labour’ 

20-minute presentation at the ‘Maternal Bodies: Individual, Collective, Other’ Symposium on June 15, 2023, at the University of Birmingham.

Abstract:

During a severe mental breakdown triggered by child loss in 1931, American artist Alice Neel (1900–1984) painted 'Degenerate Madonna', a bleak study of maternal labour. Seated barefoot before a blood-red wall, the painting’s weary subject—the visual antithesis of the Virgo Lactans (‘Nursing Virgin’) of the Middle Ages—unsuccessfully attempts to breastfeed a pallid child propped on her lap. Contemporary analyses of 'Degenerate Madonna' obsessively gravitate toward the unidealised appearance of the figure’s exposed breasts, which scholars and critics have described as ‘witchy teats’, ‘serpents’, ‘bloody daggers’, and ‘far from nurturant or charming . . . like bells, announcing death, pointy, empty’.

While such dehumanising descriptors align with the haunting nature of the painting, they perpetuate harmful false equivocations about maternal labour and, as a result, construct ‘ordinary’ childbearing bodies as inadequate. This limited scope also overlooks the artist’s possible intentions and plausible inspirations, which are seldom considered in the context of 'Degenerate Madonna'. Using case studies, this paper explores these factors, which include: Leftist ideologies and New Deal art; the artist’s encounters with non-Western sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and, most significantly, Neel’s complicated views on both childbearing and childrearing.

With these models in mind, one may begin to consider that the 'degenerate' mother’s breasts are not ‘witchy’, serpentine, or lethal; they are simply an unidealised interpretation of the maternal body. As such, the supposed ‘emptiness’ of the figure’s breasts does not necessarily denote a mother who is ‘far from nurturant’; it could, rather, signify the ‘antibeauty’—a term coined by Linda Nochlin in 2006—of a mother who has given so much to her infant that she has nothing more to offer. If this is the case—that Neel’s ‘degenerate’ mother desires to sustain her child but can’t— then what makes the figure ‘degenerate’?

every now and then it takes hold of me. the title of a poem. i speak it with a snarl a cockiness a defiance almost like an amen. we sons of bitches are doing fine. i know it's miya poetry i know it's a translation i know it's got cultural historical political colours. i respect that. but it transcends all of that because ultimately it's a poem and a good one and you can give it a beat and sing it too. it's about everything. it's not shrunk and squared into a keyword a theme a motif a classification a hierarchy a theory a tea time talking point a section of a syllabus a dsm 5 entry. who wants to live life like that, come on. we sons of bitches are doing fine. by kazi neel. what a title, catches me by the collar. it thumbs its nose, cocks a snook, taunts with tongue, flips the bird. we sons of bitches are doing fine.
