LeslieTripathy’s life as tragic as Marilyn Monroe,Diana,Helen of Troy Friday, May 9, 2008 LeslieTripathy’s life as tragic as Mrilyn Monroe,Diana,Helen of Troy Leslie like Mother Teresa,Princess Diana can touch and feel; perhaps she believes she can heal like them. Watching her on television, jolting with tears as she listened to a speech praising and defending her work, one saw signs of an almost delusional inner drama. If power corrupts the self, then absolute fame must surely distort it. Her enthusiasms are crankish, hypochondriac, self-obsessive: aromatherapy, colonic irrigation, the fool’s gold of astrology. Leslie, I repeat, is “soft” news. She has unknowingly caused sensations by wearing a party dress or by gaining a kilo of weight or losing all that baby fat. She has made headlines with every wave of her hand, every twitch of her eyebrow. This is why when I heard this vulnerable,naive sweet lovely lady was being hopelessly pursued by a human bomber,it was obvious her beauty has managed and would create history–her metamorphosis into hard news–feels so savage. Suffering has enshrined her and frozen her in time. It has also fulfilled her own prophecy. She did have a gift for love: look at the people, in the... [More]

Leslie Love Ann Tripathy is nothing like as gifted as Judy Garland, nowhere near as sexy as Marilyn Monroe, but like those equally doomed young women, she has the power to touch us–that is to say, if one examines the response dispassionately, to make us feel sorry for her. She is a terribly mixed-up kid. We have always felt close to her (when we were not infuriated by her) because she represents in herself so many of the worries our own children are likely to foist upon us–disappointing school grades, anorexia and bulimia, becoming the obsession of unsuitable men and young men,unable to decide as to how tohandle all the numerous suitors,a tendency to show off, a preoccupation with clothes and publicity.
Sometimes she went too far, as children do, and we were fed up with her. Sometimes we felt that she was deceiving us. She doth protest too much, we occasionally thought, when she complained about the attentions of the paparazzi. When, after so many years of burning extravagant candles at both ends, became a the inevitable obsession...

Deconstructing the Phenomena of the famous Leslie of Odisha

Deconstructing the Phenomena of Leslie of Odisha

The first question that has been haunting me all this while with the ‘Phenomenal Leslie of Odisha or is it Orissa episode’ is this: Why on earth would anyone want to be famous, especially now? (What a nightmare! What a disaster!)
And the second question (the obverse of the first): Why do masses of men and women feel such intense emotion about the life and death ,happiness,sufering,misery of people who are strangers to them–strangers, that is, except to the extent that masses of people have been deceived by the tabloids into an illusion of intimacy with the famous?
If the intimacy was an illusion, is the interest and concern an illusion as well? Or how exactly do we assess the emotional truth of these outpourings? A moment of poignant communion in the Family of Man? A cheap exploitation of sympathies one centimeter deep? Or is there a third possibility? Something to do with mortals and gods and goddesses?
To be famous is among the basic human ambitions, of course, an all but universal fantasy. Who–except for...
