Hey, what’s up with all these borrowed sentiments lately??? I mean, to begin with, the only thing worthy of prime time coverage that comes out of FM’s Pakistan visit is the ‘footage of national flag hanging upside down’ & media questioning Chidambaram (“How could u?” & “Such a Disrespect!!!”) over nothing but this!!! To follow this up (& finish off the remaining patriotic juices…), we dig deep & find some story in TIME magazine where some frustrated Journalist calls Indians ‘DotHeads’ 🙂 And God!!! We all act so pissed off!!! I mean…, Seriously??? And just to add a little spice (as if we need any!!), there comes the most celebrated book in recent history – ‘Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India‘. I mean, what was the Supreme Court thinking in lifting the ban on the book that somewhere contains some passage mocking the parentage of Shivaji?? Nobody, can toy with Maharashtrian Asmita (Pride, u know…) while Shivsena is alive!!!
‘Voicing-your-opinion’ has become a sort of Oxymoron now a days. Our opinion is honest only until it’s in our head. We fear that people will judge us by what we say. And we sincerely try to sound ‘Politically correct’ or ‘Morally correct’ whichever acts as a crowd puller.
It’s ok to be conscious about being judged upon what u say. Just don’t ignore the most important person who is gonna judge the every little thing u say out loud. It’s You.
You know, it’s funny, whenever I make any politically correct statements like – “Piracy is Bad…” or “Watching porn is disgusting…” or “I support women empowerment…” – a tiny, little voice inside my head say : “WHAT, CRAP!!!” It’s difficult to be honest with yourself. But I’m getting there, albeit slowly.
“YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME”
Sometime back, when they did a survey of law abiding – liquor consuming citizens of ‘DRY’ Land Gujarat, the Stats ( i.e. Number of ‘Yes, I Do.’s ) came out to be inversely proportional to the money the bootleggers are making. Intriguing, huh…?
