Kashmir

He lies on the footpath
immaculately dressed
undeniably ready for success
but something is not right

Half of his head is hairless
The rotting skin no longer productive
He can't move his head any longer
The headache is excruciating

They said they can cure him
He will have to let go off a part of him
The part of his head that won't let him shoot for the stars
That part of him that may lead to his slow decay

The choice is his,
let the rot free as it wants to be
or wait for the his end
and the end of the part of him he did not want to give up

P.S. I did not want to write on what was going on in Kashmir conflict as my understanding is inadequate and I thought it will be insensitive. But I found a lot of people think the same way. The part that troubles me is that are we ready to leave people behind because we are doing well? Would this arrogant question have come up if our economy wasn't doing well?

Sanity Prevails

Yesterday before the IPL started I was watching the news. To my pleasant surprise I heard this news about the MPs taking up the cause of the ordinary Indian family and our value system. The cheerleaders employed in IPL are vulgar and obscene. They are degrading to cricket. Next time they dance they should be arrested and thrown in jail just like the Bar dancers.

I am so relieved that AT LAST the saviors of Indian morality came forward and prevented me from sinning and saved my soul from being eternally condemned to the lower echelons of hell.

Thank god the cheerleader are a matter of priority in a country where parents have disowned a girl child. They are right actually, they should be given the right to kill the kid before she is born. Women ARE a burden on the family.

I hope removing the cheerleaders from the clean sport of cricket will stop the rapes of minor girls and public sexual harassments of women who attend parties. Well the rape is a girls fault anyway. She should be held responsible for any corruption of the values of sex starved Indian men.

Lastly I hope that women in close proximity of drunk men at the cricket grounds realize that it is their fault if they end up corrupting HIS moral fiber and god forbid something unpleasant happens to the man.

P.S. - Lets move to Afghanistan next to mullah omar's palatial presidential cave.

Substance Dependence

15th August, 60th anniversary of our independence. This question comes up every year...what does 15th August mean to you??

Well the answer is sad and kinda surprising to me since I never thought about it....it just means another day off. I don't want to listen to what Manmohan Singh has to say about what India is doing BECAUSE of "his" government. And I don't care what BJP says to counter it. I don't vote. I am from the middle class and I AM cynical. Talk about categorization and cliches .

It is not that I am not proud of India or being an Indian. We are what we are DESPITE of the politicians not because of them. 15th Aug just doesn't mean anything to me. I am materialistic and 15th Aug just doesn't mean any thing tangible to me just like my birthday doesn't mean anything to me.

So for all the TV channels that are conducting polls on our "patriotic quotient" my PQ doesn't depend on what day it is!!
