"Aap ki yaad aati rahi..."

How else can a feeling be transferred, wholly and completely...?  Amma, Nanna...did you feel this way too...?

The New Bitch

Back in the day it was:

"That's really why he got upset that day when he couldn't get his engine started.  It was an intrusion on his reality.  It just blew a hole right through his whole groovy way of looking at things and he would not face up to it because it seemed to threaten his whole life style.  In a way he was experiencing the same sort of anger scientific people have sometimes about abstract art, or at least used to have.  That didn't fit their life style either." ("Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," Robert M. Pirsig)

Now:

...a mass upper class that was so immersed in symbolic and digital cerebration that it had become incapable of carrying out the most ordinary functions.

Feels to me it is the technology that has undergone a transformation in its gender.  Back in the day it was "manly" and now it is "sexy." 

Rights of Man

Once,
When they tore them open
A life fell out of each

Now,
They are driven
Smiling with them
Rights of their own
In bright sunshine

Hauling with them
Buried in black
One mile from the graveyard
The rights of man
