The Political Boogie Boogie

Ok… This country is probably at the crossroads of its governance. And the government is creating examples of how not to govern repeatedly. Every news that hits the stands greets aggression from all platforms that humankind has ever rendered us with. I don’t think any other citizen’s civil life is as exciting & as happening as that of an Indian. Seriously!! Where do you get scams of that magnitude at a rapid rate? Too much to dope about!!

Everyone’s talking about them & some people (who call themselves social representatives/leaders) have gone to the extent of finding some sort of solution to the so called gaming-scheming the corporate & political bigwigs of India Inc have put us into.

How do we find a solution to this is the biggest question the nation is facing at this moment. It has to stop somewhere & how?

Everybody is exploring all the angles their brain cells could allow & different people in power from various places have come up with suggestions to alleviate the consequences of potential malfunctioning in the system. Not even one stone has been left unturned in criticizing the government’s actions to deal with the situation & don’t even get me started on our lousy PMjee's lame duck attitude.

There are some who have emerged from nowhere to represent the new face of political leadership & have made an attempt to experiment revolt methods to succumb the government to their demands. These movements have somehow gathered momentum with people from different strata’s joining their cause. Slowly with the growing aggression the news has travelled to the news stands & electronic channels who know how to make the most of this kind of dope – ultimately leading to gaining the stature of being called a MOVEMENT. And bang.. The guy leading the movement suddenly gets some 1million searches on the Google page, which means you know he's famous.

A few such movements lately. Like the Candle lighting after the 26/11 Mumbai attack, The Hazare fast movement & the Ramdev's bullshit at Ramlila Maidan (it’s a movement, nevertheless) & the likes are some of the most recent ones.

Also with this kind of a political environment there is an increasing necessity to belong to one of these movements according to my observation (which could well be wrong). The need to be classified into something that everyone else is into. Its about more than herd behavior, Like more of taking stands but It is definitely of vital importance to ‘Belong’ & have an opinion of that belonging; same as everyone else in that particular belonging. For e.g.: Like the houses in school where pupils are divided into a number of houses which are named after maybe Saints, colors etc. Every kid admitted into a certain house conducts all activities within the jurisdiction or for that house. The individual accolades win points for the house & there is competition between houses. See the political parties behaving in a somewhat similar manner?

So how did all of this occur to me?

The other day while in a general discussion I asked a colleague supporting the newly formed deliberate eating disorders in our country, as to what does one gain after the atrophied party breaks the adamancy of its opponent? Have we had instances of any good done by it till now?

Well, there have been future talks of how things might take place & that one such movement did manage to break the adamancy of the beaurocracy to some extent but is still struggling to get its cause corrected. So, ultimately they are still at Square 1. So my question... You break their will in your favor & then what?

And he remains speechless. But he is also adamant. It will do good he knew. Or he believes!! (A part of the belonging) How?? No clue. Whatsoever!! Also there were a few other such instances which made me believe that there is an increasing tendency to be classified in to the house system laid by the British Raj. Yes it was bought to us by them. By and large I could think for four broad classifications.

The cursory supporters:

If you find yourself supporting a particular cause just because you feel like supporting a cause or because your neighbor supports it, welcome to being a cursory supporter. In this you have no fucking clue why you support this cause. You just support it because so that you are not left out of discussions & you also have a view of that group. (Just a borrowed one) You are with a belonging & you feel safe. You are neither interested nor likely to develop interest in the wrong-doings of the movement or the society or what others think or whether anyone cares a fuck. You got yourself classified & u r happy.

The Fervent disciples:

If you are one of those who feels deeply for this country & are extremely saddened by the fact that the on-goings are spoiling its reputation, welcome to being the ‘Fervent Disciple’. Your situation is just a little better than the Cursory ones because you know the exact purpose of the movement & support it with full reason. What you don’t know is whether it will lead to the desired outcome & you haven’t even thought it that way. Basically you are totally missing the cause for which you are fighting. For you participating is of utmost importance. You will find yourself contributing to status updates posted on social networking websites, making opinions or initiating open-ended discussions, participating in rallies/candle lights held across your city, forwarding smses, encouraging others to support the cause & then rejoicing after the adamancy has been broken. You then slowly return to your work & lifestyle thinking you have done your bit whereas the matter which you supported is still somehow n the bin. You have just wasted your time & energy, satisfied your patriotic desire & been a part of fueling the trending topics on twitter with a #tag. (Get the connection?)

The imperturbable Mortals:

These ones though they get classified together as a natural process & just make more sense they do no good to no one. They try to reason out everything & dont support anything. They are the first ones who'll question the meaning of the Lokpal Bill in campaigns like that. They'll reason out the supporters movement & may counter question one of the supporters to judge whether the movements existing purpose & tweak his head to make sense. Everything verified they may still decide not to support the movement because they are unsure of the ultimate outcome of the movement even after its success. They’ll also be the first ones to criticize with a ‘I told you so attitude” & will quietly enjoy the results if things succeed. They can make a good point while arguing against something & can criticize to No hell as to what disaster or what non-senses is being caused around.

The bootless Mentor

These are our new age gurus, the columnists, the bloggers, the opinion-makers & the likes. They have a lot to talk about. They often raise the most valid points, criticize the right things & point out the right mistakes. You’ll see a series of comments made by the Fervent Disciples & Imperturbable Mortals on their blogs & websites. They give a lot of valid dope, come on talk shows, get featured in newspapers & make the above 3 categories think. But then? What’s the point?

Whatever one may support/not support everybody just seems to be so confused to me. The youth, the government, the politicians, the civilians. Supporting a cause is a good thing but this country does not give you reason to think straight & its becoming more of a concern rather than just a misunderstanding. It somehow shows that people seem to need to vent out the sudden wave of discomforting events. They are ready to support any Tom, Dick & Harry movement in the rage to do so. They just want justice & they want their money back. (Well, at least some think they'll get their money back. Ask them how & they'll have no fucking clue)

Adding fuel to this fire are the social media platforms multiplying into our blood like a new virus. All the mediums of communications seem to be connected & somehow it seems to pick the best of every sentiment from all the movement & place it on their platform to get the best out of it.

Eventually what we have is a Mixed Vegetable handi of the communication platforms where the social media activists (thought leaders, columnists) struggle to get to print through their Twitter updates, the print media writes of how FB & twitter have revolutionized everything (describing how the news of the movement has become big) & how information transcends at an electric rate.

So with whom lies the solution? I am as confused as you are. But I believe the Lokpal if formed was a good measure to start with. Secondly, just because one thing succeeded by conducting a fast that cant be se as a measure for something else by someone else. Remember that theory just because a thing A worked for some cause it may not work for other cause. The Ramdev’s insane rally should not have received this wide a magnitude. His entire stuff was bizarre. This guy teaches yoga, & should be trusted only for that. The government has definitely made a fool of themselves by doing a 360 degree aasan trying to turn the whole thing around. Firstly they took Hazare for granted & in order to avoid that kind of mistake again… took Ramdev too seriously? What bullshit!!

It’s been a monster drive for us till now & we don’t know for how long it will stay this way. But I believe the cleanup has begun. The chaos will bring in order in some form. The Cursory, Fervent & the Bootless will make sense & may be able to think clearly & we may actually end up having a stable government.

With an induced feeling to ‘belong’ to a lesser scammed country - AMEN. SUM AMEN.

Cheers,

Sne!!

The Bathing Ladies

Yesterday's BS carries an article named The Bathing Ladies. It basically talks about the artists from the early 20th century, trained in a style that has now come to be identified as academic realism.
Now i am sure most of you dont know what is academic realism. Let me help you here..


Academic Realism is a style of painting & sculpture produced under the influence of European academies & universities. What it basically means is painting a naked woman. Any painting/sculpture which has carved the most quintessential parts of a woman's body in order to depict that the woman is in her most comfortable form when naked could mean academic realism back then or as a matter of fact even now. Naked, keeping in mind that the comfort levels of a woman in the painting remain undettered even if she is amongst a crowd. (or so i understood)


The article carries pictures of 2 ladies, one unclothing her self as if to go for a bath & another of a wet woman just out of a bath in a white cotton saree which then clings to her body because of the water creating the element of voyeurism.


So i always wonder.. what's the pleasure one gets from painting a naked woman? Ok. granted Pleasure.. I'll buy the pleasure part.. The artists might be thinking of a woman in a partially clothed state which he would have otherwise wished to rip apart & so he goes ahead with his imagination and carves out a piece of what they call an 'art'- which is what people seem to be buying!! These 20th century paintings are auctioned for about Rs. 60 to 70 lakhs.. which is quite an amount. and that too of a partially or a completely naked woman when there's already enough sex & a hosts of naked woman available a dime a dozen.


What impression would you want to give the visitors by depicting pictures of naked woman from the early 20th century on your living room wall? that you love to see & show off naked woman time & again & in order to pursue this passion you have spent 70 lakhs or that you are just too artistic that i fail too see that you do??


But the fact remains defying the argument stated above that people paint naked women & they are bought & money is earned. I think whether its from the early 20th century or from the late 21st century the excitement of a naked woman remains where it is. I don't mean to criticize people who paint or buy these pictures. I just want to ask them wots the deal?


The world may have moved ahead, the adoption of culture from the west to the east may have legalized painting & selling of Nudes in India & women may have become more outrageous & comfortable with their body. There may be a culture of bold sex of various kinds (lets not get into that. my previous posts hv already spoken abt it) & there may be a hell lot of sex workers now paying income tax.. Soo??


But still, There is nothing that beats the glimpse of a partially naked woman. The thought of imagining her entirely naked thereafter is an extremely enticing one. Semi-nude is the word. According to the article there were artists in the old era who had devoted themselves to painting the bathing women?? what a profession? If someone asked them what do you do? he would reply i am an artist, i paint only naked women, especially those who have just come out of a bath.. :) Hilarious. Their work of art was called The Bath series. With all due respect, and with all the open mindedness, its still pretty amusing...


Academic realism is almost practiced everywhere today. In fact what is practiced extends even beyond that.. The kingfisher calender would be nothing else but a nuance of academic realism.. Its almost playing with the viewers imaginative power.. Actually any human being with a radar like equipment would need no imaginative power to see whats beyond the visible, in this case!!


So my questing again.. whats the deal with the painting??


Guess it all boils down to the hyped protuberance on the woman's body.. They are where the men are born .. & they are where they would die.. :D




Do i have any replies here, men?

The curious case of Niira Radia

The recent Niira Radia tapes & her wrong doings have suddenly bought a lot in light. We have people throwing accusations at media & questioning the sanctity of PR as a profession. Responsible journalism for one & PR community acting as lobbyists is the talk of the season.

Somehow according to me it’s not about Journalism & also not about PR. No! No! No! We are all on the wrong track & I will explain why. We are busy seeing the consequences & have still not identified the problem. Discussion forums are cluttered with absolute rubbish with people throwing baseless allegations at the media bodies & PR communities. Just because I belong to the PR community I am not going to defend myself but I am going to state a real reason why this could have happened. (Well, according to me)

The other day a friend called me on a Sunday afternoon & started a usual conversation. Since we both belong to the PR fraternity we usually end up discussing the news for the day.  Who could have possibly worked on a which news & which agency doesn’t have the balls to do what. Our tendency also lies in sharing a good piece of edit or an article that either one of us has read in the newspapers. Obviously the last Sunday’s Edits were filled with the curious case of Nira Radia. We eventually got into talking about all the controversies involved therein with Niira Radia being the main talk point. Conversations did drift to Barkha Dutt & Vir Sanghvi but we bounced back to her on & off. Suddenly he asked me "If you were Niira Radia what would you have done?" It got my mind ticking. Seriously. I am in the same profession that she was in probably a decade ago. I am a good orator & can convince well. So by all means I can find myself in her shoes one day! So, what would I do? Well the first thing that I told him was an obviously lame, "I don’t know. I'm not of that level". He replied saying "what will you take to talk? And I seriously started thinking. The conversation made me realize something which I already have known & here it was being proved once again.

So here goes my analysis of Niira Radia's mental state & to all the questions being raised around, also making an attempt to safeguard the PR fraternity & taking a stand as to what would I do if I were her.

As a PR professional, we indulge in a certain level of lobbying by influencing the actions of the media community (mostly) & any other community if need be.

For those who don’t know what lobbying is? Lobbying (also Lobby) is a form of advocacy with the intention of influencing decisions made by legislators and officials in the government by individuals, other legislators, constituents, or Advocacy groups.

Lobbying equivalent for us could be as minute as demanding the questions in advance for an interview or also going to the extent of providing the journalists with the bait to favor our client.

We do this to bring our client in good light. We do this because we get paid to do exactly THIS. A certain level of lobbying is inevitable for us to fill in our stomachs. Probably at that level we don't think it’s about "lobbying" by definition but it is lobbying under the sheets. Every individual may allow himself with a certain amount of restrictions (which may be moral/ethical) and certain amount of flexibility while in a job. It may be independent of the organizations rules & procedures. But one does this to survive. And organizations let them be to retain their talent. There needs to be a certain amount of relentlessness from both the sides.

The real question comes in play when a person has the power to influence the decisions of Powerful people. For example Nira Radia had acquired the power to manipulate the decisions of people sitting in the south block. Its there when your allegations of responsible journalism, responsible governance & responsible lobbying comes into play. When one has the power to influence one must definitely consider allowing himself with certain restrictions about which I spoke in the prior paragraph & that’s exactly where she went wrong. Her addiction to ambition had taken over her work ethics & so she could not see where to stop. The line "Geeli geeli chahat ki jaise "latt" hain re" of the song Marjawaan from the movie Fashion is an apt explanation for the situation. When one gets addicted to ambition & it becomes so big that one stops listening to one’s mind & heart is when you know your need psychological help.

There could be several reasons why she did this but I can think of this one. And probably this one is the most relevant one.

According to me it’s all a game of POWER. It’s particularly rare for a woman to come in power as equivalent to hers. There might be a one Nira Radia in about 100000 women (or more) that becomes a part of corporate world.  A very few from the herd make it to the top. Corporate Jungle is a world which is dominated by men of Power & Substance. A world where people think that few women make it to the top. (Which is true!!). Be it the east or the west the ratio of women to men in power is way less than otherwise. If in such an environment a woman has struggled to slowly make it big there are high chances of her mind being clouded with a feeling of superiority & a certain addiction for bad ass ambition. Women in particular have this crazy craving for power. Why? The Minority explains it all. There are times when their ambition becomes so big that takes over their mind & they indulge in activities equivalent to this one. An example of the same in the past could be Monica Bedi indulging into relationship with the famous underworld Don Abu Salem & Mandakini with Dawood. Why could they have done it? Were they in love? No!! Clearly No!! It’s a clear case of Power. Their cases are simpler; they did not make it big in Bollywood & sorted other ways out to reach fame. But a person who has really struggled to the top knows & understands his own market value would be ready to act as an operator for his own script to create an artificial inflation of prices. (Read brand value)

Another example would be the movie Fashion where PC's mind was completely clouded with her ambition & superiority that she could not see the worst coming. Understanding Human behavior can be difficult at times. These are people who have been aware of the force. I have been studying human behavior in terms of invincible power since long. Back then I was unable to affirm what it was & was not possible to think beyond a point. However the innate force of this power in relation with Human behavior has remained pretty constant regardless of the shifts in intellectual thinkings that have taken place. The forms of authority to which such power becomes attached do, on the other hand, vary in accordance to each profession.

So, Conclusion Niira Radia may be good at her work but she needs help.

To answer my friend question, if I were her my ethics would come in play once. Definitely. Whether I curb them or listen to them will be answered if I ever become Nira Radia equivalent.

For those talking ill about my PR community.  There’s actually no point of getting PR & Journalism into discussion at all. We are doing our jobs well Let us be. ok?

For my media friends: We may argue that our trust with the media news levels have gone down but the truth is that we will keep reading the news. Media houses & publications will keep creating news & there will be scams like these which will keep coming into limelight on particular “one fine days” every once a while & shake everybody off from their sleep. There will be discussions which will never make sense. Eventually we will forget all & then get back to reading news until again somebody shakes us up.

See the loop?

Time - Out

Ok. Its been long now.. And my readers & followers definitely have been missing a piece of my mind (pun intended) But my reasons to go missing are valid and were much needed. Now, that i have resumed the morbid duties of everyday life id like to unload a bit on the very parched, hungry followers of my blogs. ;)

Well this time its the 'time' that people gave due consideration to. Hang on, hang on , don't get me wrong... m not going to go ga-ga about the importance of time. This is not going to be the 'n'th write up throwing more shit on the punctuality ideals... As usual i have my own rebellious ideas & i would love to state them..
When i say its time you gave due consideration to 'time' .. i mean just let its have its due.. not overdue i.e. don't let time restrict your or your abilities to fly..
Yes, humans fly.. just that not with wings.. but which fool told you flying is associated with rising of levels above the grounds?? like literally.. like some slimy magic trick!!
Flying could be rising of levels above ground in terms of the feeling.. in terms of happiness.. for the sake of adrenalin, for the sake of the rush, just for the bloody sake...
I have come across many people in my life who'd refuse to live the moment just because its time not to live it. Jesus.. who decides whether its time to live it or not?? give me break... keep time at its level & keep your wings at its level.. and also keep your will at its level.. Just because you gotta get up tomorrow morning & go to office don't throw up the idea to go out for a late night drive at 1:00am ..

Just because you have to be in office for the entire day don't throw the idea of having just this one sip of beer in the morning.. who cares.. hv mint will you?? Live your life will you?? king size will you???? In short all i am trying to say is don't curb your instinct.. live up to it.. it will make you complete .. & will let you live life with its passing rhythms...

Some follower of line (read society laid lines, read time laid lines) reading this write up would argue with the legendary "Whats the need??" The need exists.. For the sake of the rush.. for the kick...Do anything for the kick.. for its the kick that helps you overcome those short-lived pangs of frustration... its the kick that helps you act sensible in troubled waters.. How i dont know.. but yes.. it happens.. a satisfied instinct at one place covers up with some disappointment at the other... the balance is maintained with a little bit of madness in your life...

Id love to live my life just to get the kick (pun intended) for the kick lets the zeal live for the zeal... because its the zeal, the charm, the fire that lets the heart tick merrily..yes.. merrily does matter....

I mean one would be gathering hosts of experiences to live .. one will have a million stories to tell... and who cares if you don't even have a million stories to tell... just the fact that you did what you wanted to would be enough... for that moment.. living the moment & creating small such innumerable events is important...

I understand that puntuality bull shit and all .. and mind you here... if there is a 40+ reading this write-up id agree to your thought process which maintains the imortance of routine & timelines in life.. I am not trying to defy time.. I am just trying to make one point... live its due.. not over due.. yes .. giving over importance to the importance of time is also hazardous....so pls dont get started on that... coz i am simply not against you.. i am just against those stupid slaves of the morbid lives... I will always have my personal struggle with time & loose almost 90% of the times even for times to come but thats just a part of my own struggle that i am trying to overcome...

Dude, dont give up.. just live it up...
Get up at that odd hour.. exercise your will.. go on a drive.. barge into your friends at 2:00 am .. pull him out... join in the gang.. make it bigger.. have funn...
Dont get up the entire Sunday... don't have a bath on one of those days you dont want to... Do these sins as long as time permits you to...
Time gives you time to do your stuff..I just believe we mis understand time... & i just wanna clear the very confusion...

Duck that laze.. shake your bones.. stand for your will & dash the time..

A little less sleep one day, a pair of sore/puffy eyes the other day.. would just let you live more of life with eyes wide open..the previous day... get wasted.. gather experience.. bunk yourselves to the feeling of the situation...

Dont follow time line & society lines always... bunk that office some day.. take an off for the sake of it.. encourage friends to do same.. go out for an excursion to some neraby place.. Go late just because you deserve to go late on some fine day....

LIE.. like big time.. (just don't lie to hurt) , challenge the impulse inside you.. do it ... provocate... be provocated... because once in a while its justified & needed.. just for the sake of the adrenalin rush.. for that kick... because you have a right to live & unless you realize it nobody will...
And why am i propagating these acts in the human kind? Because they get you closer to human kind.. they help you live sanely, think wisely & act naturally in this mad mad world..

So the next time you think of something wacky thats doable & justified ...just bloody do it... will you????????????

Cheers

Cut the CRAP!!!!

One very unusual thing happened to me this morning...

I was on this early groggy morning's, most hated kinda trips back from home to Mumbai… Cursing myself on having booked the bluesstt Monday morning's 6'o'clocks Sinhagad Express.. i hated every moment of being awake!!! Sinhagad is the most crowded & the most irritating & the yet, considerably fast leaving me with no other options to get to Mumbai faster. Also, i hate buses.. So here i am stuck with this godforsaken multiple wheeler!! Now, this reason why i hate this train is that this is one thing that does not allow me to sleep. Its the most uncomfortable second sitting & the crowd, the atmosphere, the proximity of people sitting around you all add up to the frustration from lack of sleep leaving with spoilt & slow paced week.. SO what to do??

Since the sleep goddess had refused to shower me with her blessings i thot I’d rather divert my attention elsewhere... M hungry i felt, & a plate of idli wouldn’t hurt the nonexistent, never ending battle for FAT. And so i bought a plate of idli… The hawker as expected gave it to me a disposable paper plate. I promptly gobbled it up & folded the remains of the chutney by the circumference of the round paper plate & followed the man who'd gotten up just before me to dispose of the plate. By the time i reached where he'd disposed it off... I groped for a dustbin. "Could you please tell me where did you dispose off the plate" i asked him in Marathi.. He just mocked at me & shot back, 'Have you been abroad all your life?. Just throw it outside.' It’s just the nature, the sparrows, the insects will eat it off.!!! & walked off...

I was shocked!!!! Do i need to be an outsider in my own country to understand that littering is not a good habit? i mean, what the hell are we made up of? It’s probably some wierd neurological disorder which makes us drop items outta the car or on the roadside. What are we? Just a lazy mass of garbage who cares less to walk that extra mile & reach a dustbin?

And yes, do we have enough dustbins? Will somebody cater to this issue, at all ever? When Mamta Banerjee disclosed her railway budget, did anybody care enough to question her why she hasn’t included any plans to make the trains a better & a cleaner mode of transport to travel? Why did the road minister not propose to include more dustbins by the street side? Why do we spit? Why does that small wrapper of chocolate find its way to the roadside, surreptitiously?

U'd say, i don’t do it, alone... But do you discourage people who litter? Delhi went on its cleanliness drive only when it had Olympic Games, our city gets cleaned occasionally only when there is some minister visiting our premises.

Do you want me to teach you the ill effects of littering? Aren’t we facing the consequences already????

Its a sad sad state of affairs!! M shocked with the fact that we need an external force to teach us that we need to keep our city clean. Most of the Indian who have travelled abroad praise the cities for their cleanliness & the next moment you’ll see them throwing the banana wrapper on the roadside. What are you, a mad hypocrite? Don’t you want to see your city clean too? Its we who need to start. At our level...

I mean seriously, we need to make a very honest attempt to keep our city clean. In one of the ads you see a small boy preventing the citizens from spoiling the monuments of the country by scribbling on it & in another one you see Amir Khan standing for two foreigner women against a host of eve teasers.

The message is clear… We need to save our country from getting dirty. M sure other countries do not need super stars making an appeal to the general public from littering. But our country does. We need to become Amir Khan time & again & stop people from littering. Be it a small wrapper or some big shit. Its should only find its way inside the dustbin. Women should use a corner of their purse as dumping ground & put in all the shit. As soon as you reach home empty the bag & there you are, good to go again. If you think you cant help but litter with a certain thing, just don’t do it.

I usually keep the side pockets of my purse as a dumping ground. None of friends dare to litter in front of me owing to the fact that i hate it. In fact they promptly come & give the crap to me or dump it in my purse themselves. A lot of my other friends i know are stopping their friends from doing it. One of my friends even stop strangers from doing it. He occasionally gets into an argument & ends up losing it, but atleast he is satisfied about the fact that he did his bit.

I urge all you Indians to take an oath against littering. Stop all the bhaiyas from spitting, stop all the aunties from throwing, stop all your friends from making the surrounding dirty. Just Go Green!!!

I am doing my bit, are you??

Cheers,
Sne!!

Zara Zara Touch me

Well as i graduated to trains from an auto rickshaw along with my new job i was kinda nervous... About the trains more than the job.. On one hand i enjoyed the joy rides in the trains on weekends or late night & had often praised Mumbai's best aka worst mode of conveyance.. but on the other the thought travelling with at least one crore of the Mumbaikars in the peak hours of this busy city made be ponder whether id be able to bell the cat. But this job was a good opportunity & so i decided to dive in.


Well as far as the trains go the very first thing you need to master is the act of getting into the train. Its pretty simple you see, an amateur can just stand in the middle of the crowd & just follow suit. All you need to do is not mind being touched by at least a hundred hands & a thousand fingers to almost all your body parts!! Sounds disgusting right? actually its not. The key is to keep your attention focused not on the partial sexual harassment though with consent but on the insides of the train & how you'd be able to measure up a place for your self.. for the rest let all sizes of fingers touch your body & pay no attention unless there are any pulls...


Oh the pulls are the legendary ones for women to CAT fight. It takes just a little pull for a women to bad mouth another one. "Just mind your hand you bitch is mostly famous among young women and some aunty's resort to a much milder ones like "Stupid, idiot ... She don't understand".
Well its a small journey of about 40 mins for each on an average & there are women standing all over... from spaces between the opposite seating's to the otherwise obvious corridors.. trust me its not easy for a women to bear so many other women all at once. There are shrills even if ones finger touches another s hand & whoever gave the bullshit about the bhartiya naari & her sahansheelta (the Indian women & her act to bear it all) Travel by the train once and youll even forget she's a women altogether!


According to me its important to have 2 qualities to be able to travel in a Mumbai local without any hassles:
1. Obnoxious-ism &
2. Voyeurism.
Trust me this works.
Mumbai is very well known for space constraints & local trains are definitely not excused from the scarcity either. Loving the touch of another women no matter who she is can help you breathe air even from the godforsaken, sweat laden lot of feline cats. They are all kinds.. fat, ugly, beautiful, lipstick laden, salwar kameez clad, unkempt, all of them at one place..standing amidst a crowd of all types of species of women think what a man would be thinking? Be a man.. think like him for the nightmarish 40 minutes....
Let Great sex rule your mind... when u feel a butt touching your front.. And if the butt is huge.. think harder.. trust me.. Moan a bit maybe, for all you know it may just turn out to be orgasmic... once you learn to make love this way you'll enjoy it deeply.
Watching others indulging into this activity as well is simply stupendous. Just makes you feel you are not the only one.


Its also important to say sorry once in awhile though, but let that depend on your mood. Completely!! Not only are they a source of commutation but the trains are perfect platforms for vent your anger & irritation. Also don't forget to scream if another screams at you. None of you know each other & will never remember each others face for the rest of your life so there is no question of keeping anger for each other. You'd rather vent it on a stranger than on a loved one.. So not only does this journey lead you to your destination but also gives you mental peace. Trust me it feeels so good after you've got into an argument for no godforsaken reason!!!


Sometimes women end up making friends too & also pass on smiles to each other over women's topic of conversation but lets just stick to "sometimes". Be ready to hear words like halkat, kutri, meli, bitch, fucking crazy, you have two immediate choices if any of these are thrown at you.. Spit similar ones to them immediately or just ignore. But don't carry it home. Its important to get it out of the system and recall some of the feline stories to be able to recite it to your friends & family where you you can manipulate your bit according to ur convenience . Its your chance, and no one checks too but everybody listens & joins in the i agree or disagree bang wagon. Whts more? You get to be the hero of the story & other ppl reveal satisfies glances as of their revenge has been taken through you!!


Its important to avoid carrying big bags in peak hours.. If two women are standing and the third one is trying to squeeze in she will be able to squeeze in herself for sure but her bag will almost hang over the shoulder of the women next to her. And then starts the legendary 'ichk' 'ichk' instantly. The poor thing will squeeze in completely only if you allow her to n if you don't at least don't 'ichk' ichk'. Its important to understand that if i choose to travel by this godforsaken but very convenient mode of transport i will have to bear something called as 'Human touch" every time if i have to squeeze my way out & in & i cannot do that by without avoiding human contact.. What's with the 'ichk' ichk' for everyday travelling women.. at the very instant of a little touch. "Your bag should not touch my face, Understand that correctly" can also be translated as can you pls shift your bag a little to the opposite side its kinda blocking my view. The other person smiles & the matter finishes.. and if you still don't agree go ask your boyfriend, father or husband to buy you an aeroplane to travel so that you don't even remain on ground to see any humans altogether or just space travel to 2020!!!!




As i said love the body, the rubbing, its almost like sex with clothes on. "Your tops touching her back" m sure you are loving it.. i once teased a friend... Yeah sure.. "just the way your are loving when by back is touching your front". she instantly replied .. "Ouch", i said. & we laughed it out!!!


Cheers,
Sne!!

Gay & merry

Well as the world celebrates the legalization of Homosexual Act 377 id like to join the bandwagon in the celebration of those highly benefited by this law Hurrah.. In the end the love stands to win et all.. And i can go on at this pace about Gay rights & why one shd support it. But wait a minute.. As usual i have to put some of my own light on this subject: A more logical reason to support 377 & go against the act of God acc to some ppl
As co-incidence would call it I have always strongly stood for any kind of acts that are beyond the normal human acceptance from the time i have started having any understanding of humankind & Gay rights was definitely one i cant let go off just like that. For one it has given the human activists including a lot of youngsters to make a hullabaloo about the cliched Indian Law [refer to the pink chaddi ones in the previous post] and another its cool to support Gay rights & still not feel anything for them, as in practically. I mean seriously.. How many of us seriously feel for this. One cant get away by saying: 'Of course this is a free country & ppl shd be allowed to make free choices. & this includes abt their life partners too' Legalization & all is OK but would we accept our brothers & sisters as homosexual beings? Do you hear a 'No' from within? From where i can see its clearly a NO. Not many people actually support this but taking into account the actual number of protagonists for the same the Indian lawmakers had to finaly succumb to their wishes.
One can & has given arguments like its normal to have feelings towards the same sex as equivalent to the oppositeand all. I wonder Its just that Adam & Eve came together first as a matter of chance & since they had none other they had to make do with each other.. obviously their pleasure seeking part got the good of each other & now we see the expansion of universe into what it is today.


For all you know if there was a Adam1 & Adam2 or Eve1 & Eve2 .. the Adams would have got together & likewise the Eves & today we would be fighting to legalize for a Adam & Eve to get together. Imagine anti homosexualiy people proposing that a man & women getting together is against the act of God,. Jeeezzzzz.... Crazy. So ones things clear... There is definitely a need for an argument in war of sexes.


India is slowly & gradually moving towards it. The sped may be a little less but there is definite progress. The next time you visit India in 2050 we may see scandals like a one Shiney raping his housekeeper whose a male this time. Homosexuality would be cool by then because its actually really cool. We just need a mind blending concoction to get this straight in our head.


Lets try the concoction. But before we start blending Lets find out why are Indians so against homosexuality?
This whole universe & mankind has formed through the amalgamation of 2 sexual beings coming together & trust me it all boils down to the amalgamation. [read sex] & this needs to be proved SO:


1. The amagamation or love making of 2 homosexuals does not give any evidence of their love. as inn.. whenever there has to be love or the act of making love there has to be a visible outcome.
You mean visible enough for a world.? Eg: A child. A lot may disagree but think about it? We need to see the proof sooner or later. Indian society is still driven by laws which demand an outcome of sorts. Keep in place an Indian NORMAL bisexual couple. If they dont have kids after some years of their marriage there is a presumed reality that there is something medically wrong with them.For heavens sake... why do i need to prove my love to you? There are a lot of such proofs lying around isisnt that enough? And most of the time its the proves lust & not love.


2. The process of love making does not change. Its still the satisfaction through similar measures. [pardon me if u think this is pervert. but its true]
Yes because if they have to get pleasure the same way & with the same organs how does it matter? Who has scripted the process of love anyways? Kamasutra? I never restricted from trying aything new... If there is so much of a problem invent a new process of love making for for the sake of your sexual being. It might just help as a mind therapy. Gosh.. give them a break. They dont borrow your bedroom to makeout. Do they?


3. Most of the Gay men we know loose their masculine behaviour and have a larger portion of feminity to their personality. The lesbians i know are just weird!!! They just wont talk without touching. Gosh!!
Not all men are supposed to be macho & not all women are supposed to be feminine. SO go ahead & accept it. Love it. When a girlish guy can find love for himself why the hell do you have a problem?


4. Gays & lesbians are desperate to get in bed with other normal men & women. Its more about sex through similar measures again!
Nah... Il show you so many desperate men seeking women & vice versa. These are just desperate beings. Theyll exist with any sexuality. Whether the gays or the lesbians.


5. Its an act against humanity & Gods will.
Oh.. dont even say that... there is no scripted book on gods will or acts on humanity by god himself. & hello?? who god? With the multiple number of Gods that Indians have each one might have their own perception abt homosexuality. i cant go with nonsense 36000 times.


So now you know why its really cool to support an act of homosexualiy. Because its simply not harmful. LIVE ALL. LET LIVE ALL.

Sne!
