Vent of Paint-up emotions

So this MSU Fine Arts fracas is going real crazy. Chandramohan won a stay of 5 days in jail and still counting. Courtesy BJP and VHP. The PVC[1] and VC[2] have suspended the dean[3]. They have also closed the exhibition. I think they were not invited to open the exhibition at the first place, that's what got them angry. Cos they could not light the lamp, they are adding fuel to the fire.

Somewhere else in India, there is an all-India protest about the whole issue. I wonder why Ahmedabad is not there in the picture.

Also, somewhere else Maneka Gandhi has gone all-human. She is trying to save the human creative aspect. Christ ! What will happen to all the animals. I guess human is an animal too, and some animals are more equal than the others.

If this thing interested you, you can go and visit this blog. You can also leave your signature over here to show that you care.

[1] - Trivia : PVC is used for foot-wear sole.
[2] - Trivia : VC stands for Vice - chancellor. Vice means bad habits.
[3] - Trivia : Dean, in Hindi, means helpless or something like that. You get the drift.

Hurt of a Nation

The people are so touchy these days. They are so sensitive and emotional.

So one BJP leader gets hurt by the painting of Lalit Kala Akademi award winner and a student in MSU Fine Arts. Some MLA in Maharashtra is hurt that Buddha is in the bathroom. Of Rakhi Sawant, no less to get things straight. How dare one put God and Rakhi Sawant in the same room? Have pity on God, at least.

It wasn't only the Big Brother who felt the heat for the most famous lip-lock in the Indian history since Vatsayan days which happened between a Buddha follower and apni Shilpa. Ek Gere aadmi ke saath...Iissssh ! And damn, one will be hurt when somebody Murthy decides that its OK to play the music of the anthem rather than singing it hoarsely. What would happen to so many budding Himeshes who thought Murthy was their Indian Idol ? How dumb Murthy was that he did not know that even a mute person has to compulsorily sing the anthem to show that she cares for the country ?

Of course, Mr Satya Paul did not know that Pallu of the saree can only have the Indian flag not the knee-jerk creativity he showed. How dare he ? To give the credit, he made sure that if not India then some other nation would have got offended with all flag saree for Ms Noodle Straps. 2 minutes it took for her getting vocally flogged. Set. Max. Go. But some people never learn so Ms Bedi goes a step back this time and puts a tatoo of a Sikh symbol on her back. How regressive ! Kuch to sikho Ms Bedi. You should have taken the thing up front instead. How spine less of you to enrage someone's feeling back-to-back.

So it continues, these people are working harder so that the rest of us can express our sentiments and emotions. Who says that world is being indifferent and zombie-like ? Now, I am hurt too. Let me sulk. Not in the corner, Right in front of the world. I want my 15 minutes of shame.

Majority

A majority of us feel that murder, loot, rape, arson are wrong.
A majority of us think that honesty, integrity, following the rules are right.
A majority of us do not commit the above crimes.
A majority of us do not do the right thing.

You don't need a majority to do the right thing.
But you need a majority to decide, to concur on the wrong.
The majority says that it is wrong. The One asks what is right ?

Dream On.....

When chips are down, the stakes are high,
When the heart that bleeds, the thoughts that cry,
The eyes are listless, the lips are dry,
When hope glows, doubts that sigh,
The If, the but, the how and the why,
Something says that its worth the try,
Its ok to fall when you dream for the sky.

The state machine of the mind

Mann apne ko kuch halka paaye....
Jaise kandho par rakha bojh hat jaaye...
Jaise bhola sa bachpan phir se aaye...
Jaise barson mein koi Ganga nahaaye....

There are few gems that beautifully describe what I feel some time or the other.
The one above fits the bill today.

The Caucus

A latest addition to the blogosphere. My manager and mentor and friend Rahul has started his blog.
His first post tackles the pertinent issues related to the job world.

I have added the link in my "Friends who write" widget. Also, you can directly go to his blog The Caucus.

On job, my take is jobs don't have future, people do. I did not make this one. Wish I had.

I hope he keeps writing frequently.
