His Name Is Khan And He Is An Extremist

Saturday, March 15, 2014

Oh yes, his name is Khan and he is a very dangerous person. He is hell bent on spreading a virus that infects human brains. He has been working insidiously. It gives me a chill to think about a world full of infected people. This pied piper has been luring away our kids into the cult of math and science.

When Juliet Fought With Romeo

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

Although they were named Romeo and Juliet, they were far from being the archetypal young lovers of the eponymous Shakespearian tragedy. Of course they were young and looked forward to having casual sex, but they held opposite views on the philosophy of "What's in a name?" Which was the bone of contention and one of the reasons behind their big fight. Now lying on hospital beds, Juliet and Romeo were nursing their wounds and also cursing a vermin for their fight.

My Life's Problems

I agree that my problems are nothing of the kind that kill people. That's why after each setback, I close my eyes and derive strength from these ordinary words put together into an inspirational quote by Nietzsche, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger."

I have been struggling with some problems these days. I will not bother you with all my troubles, even though I know you are gleefully looking forward to hear all of them to glean some satisfaction from the knowledge that someone has more serious, severe, dire life problems than the ones that you are having. There is no need to feel embarrassed. Schadenfreude is a universal emotion, besides it is a good word to teach your kids if they aspire to take part in spelling competitions.

India's main opposition party, Bharatiya Janata Party, has endorsed the re-criminalization of gay sex by Supreme Court, saying that they believed homosexuality is an unnatural act. It means that people with certain sexual orientations will be deemed criminals and will be either punished, or harassed by everyone and anyone including the state police.

The Upholders Of Patriarchy And Rape Culture

Thursday, November 21, 2013

Friends, the edifice of patriarchal tradition in India is getting severe jolts these days from the new generation of girls and women who have become too forward and free-thinking to be controlled by their parents or in-laws. The equal-rights activists, also known as feminists have been hell bent at digging the foundation of our magnificent monument of male dominion. The good old patriarchs, who have always been the providers and protectors of women, children, and other cattle are now accused of engendering rape and violence against women. After every rape or sexual-harassment incident the feminists come out in droves like bees and start attacking the benevolent grandfathers, fathers, brothers, and husbands, who for centuries have kept their women undereducated and under surveillance so that they dutifully washed their underwear.
