May GOD bless everyone. — The Jones and Lewis Family The Family and Friends I’M FREE — Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard HIM call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sun- Friday, January 29, 2021 shine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savored Viewing – 10:00 a.m. much; good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

  • Where Do All the Lovers Go?”–The Cultural Politics of Public Kissing in Mumbai, India (1950–2005)
    DOI: 10.1111/johs.12205 ORIGINAL ARTICLE “Where do all the lovers go?”–The Cultural Politics of Public Kissing in Mumbai, India (1950–2005) Sneha Annavarapu Doctoral Candidate, Department of Sociology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA Abstract Correspondence Public expressions of sexual intimacy have often been sub- Sneha Annavarapu, Doctoral Candidate, ject to moral censure and legal regulation in modern India. Department of Sociology, University of Chicago, USA. While there is literature that analyzes the cultural‐political Email: [email protected] logics of censorship and sexual illiberalism in India, the dis- courses of sympathy towards public displays of intimacy has not received as much critical attention. In this paper, I take the case of one representative discursive space offered by a popular English newspaper and show how the figure of the ‘kissing couple’ became an important entity in larger discussions about the state of urban development, the role of pleasure in the city, and the imagination of a “modern” Mumbai. “Public kissing is just not Indian”–Pramod Navalkar, Indian politician1 1 | INTRODUCTION In most Indian cities and towns, kissing in public places has been considered culturally inappropriate. The argument against men and women kissing, holding hands, and hugging in public is that it is culturally inappropriate, disrespectful to community standards, and downright ‘obscene’. Although recent protests and campaigns by urban youth2 have begun to offer a sense of organized resistance to traditional norms governing behavior in public spaces, it is common knowledge that couples engaging in ‘public displays of affection’ are often subject to moral policing by local police, political parties, and private citizens.

  • Lyrics – Sailing Ships & Sailing Men
    Sailing Ships & Sailing Men Lyrics – Sailing Ships & Sailing Men The Day of the Clipper (Steve Romanoff/Outer Green Music) You can see the squares of canvas dancing over the horizon, You can hear the chanty wailing to the heaving of the men; You can feel the seas up to your knees and you know the sea is rising, And you know the clipper's day has come again, To the men on high, the bosun's cry commands a killing strain, Till every mother's son begins to pray; With a hearty shout, she comes about as she heads into the rain, And the ship has never seen a better day. Chorus: Sailing ships and sailing men will sail the open waters, Where the only thing that matters is the wind inside the main. Come all you loving mothers, keep your eyes upon your daughters, For the sails will mend their tatters and the masts will rise again. Wooden beams and human dreams are all that makes her go, And the magic of the wind upon her sails. She'd rather fight the weather than the fishes down below; God help us if the rigging ever fails. As the timber creaks, the captain speaks above the vessel's groan, 'Til every soul on board can hear the call; It's nothing but the singing of the ship inside her bones, And this is when she like it best of all. (Chorus:) Where the current goes, the clipper's nose is plowing fields of green; Where fortune takes the crews, we wish them well, Where men could be when lost at sea is somewhere in between The regions of a heaven and a hell.
