DEV-D
Just finished watching this movie...2 1/2 hours of my life wasted and not to mention the money wasted behind the meds required to treat my headache...
No idea what the director or writer or producer were thinking when they decided to proceed with this project..we sure do have some people back home who have a lot of money to waste...
V-Day...
I know it’s a late for this posting but nevertheless it’s pretty damn interesting and weird...
“Some Bajrang Dal activists even forced few couples to apply sindoor or tie rakhis at some places.
Justifying their actions, Bajrang Dal's media in charge Vinod Bansal said, "In many cases, the guys were just indulging in immoral acts, in the name of Valentine's Day. We wanted them to at least express their sincerity and give their commitment. While many refused, some agreed to the sindoor ritual”
Are you seriously bloody kidding me??? These guys don’t want to accept westernization but when/if they are in power and if westerners come to them with loads of revenue to start a business venture or something, then tho they will be the first to kiss their feet...Damn, is it just me or these guys are really hypocrites??? Who the hell are they to dictate to someone to apply sindoor or tie a rakhi???
“Speaking on the occasion, Jai Bhagwan Goel, chief of the party's north India unit, said there are umpteen number of Indian festivals like Holi, Diwali, Id and Raksha Bandhan to express feelings of love, unity and brotherhood”
Yeah like on rakhi or holi or diwali, the chumma chaati was going to be fine with them…Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way American or anything but cmon this is definitely a little too extreme…Youngsters (in India that is) can probably be a lil restrictive on PDA’s (Public Display of Affection), or go to places where there would mostly be youngsters, mainly because the older generation is not use to this and hence may take offense to it but still, the rakhi n sindoor is just unnecessary…If people want to express their love publicly on v-day then so be it…if they want to go out and have a good time then so be it too…who the hell are these activists to decide who can and cannot do something?? So much for letting the country remain democratic…
Love/sex...The American and the Indian way
This actually struck me when I was watching ‘Wedding Crashers’…of all movies, I know…This might get a little confusing..so bear with me…
We always compare the Indian culture to the American culture and always think that the Indian culture is the best and that the American culture does not compare even close to it…We believe that sex before marriage is taboo whereas in the American way of life, it is just normal; something that is going to happen no matter what..An Indian guy most of the time wants a virgin and if she isn’t, then oh damn, all hell breaks loose…I have seen relationships break over this and just fail to understand that what the fk are they even thinking…it is ok for guys to sleep with how many ever they want to but it isn’t for a girl because she has to have her hymen intact when she is married to whoever she marries..of course there are exceptions to what I am saying..but isn’t this hypocrisy? How is it fine for a guy to be able to sleep with anyone before marriage but not really fine for a girl? This may definitely seem strange and weird coming from a guy but it’s the truth isn’t it?...and no, I am NOT gay…
So in that case, American guys are more acceptive of the fact that their gf’s and wives are not virgins and they just don’t care because they know that that’s how things are…They eventually fall in love with the person and give a damn about his/her past sexual experience because of the acceptance that it was going to happen anyways…However, in the Indian way of life why does it sometimes be so hard to accept that he or she would have had a sexual past and that is just part of being in a relationship..
Therefore, isn’t true love about accepting him/her for who she is and whatever be the case? Then in that instance, doesn’t the American culture seem to be better than the Indian culture because of the easier acceptance factor? Can’t we say that American guys are probably truer partner/companions/lovers than Indian guys because they can accept the female and her past as is because it is part of her?
Things are definitely changing now where both, Indian guys and girls are becoming more acceptive of their partner's past but one cannot deny the fact that still most of the Indian guys are not really that acceptive.
I DO NOT INTEND TO STIR UP ANY CONTROVERSIES BASED ON WHAT I WRITE. THIS IS IN NO WAY DEGRADING ANY INDIAN BECAUSE THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO EVERYTHING. I AM JUST LOOKING AT THINGS IN A CERTAIN WAY.
Chat Status
If it says your "idle" in your status message, doesnt that prolly mean in the real world (understand as opposed to Virtual World) that you are doing something?Considering the time people waste beacuse of their computers today, i propose a slightly different status message protocol.
When ur off the computer, instead of "idle" it should say something like
option 1 - "Probably doing something useful"
option 2 - "having a life!"
When you log back on
option 1- "has nothing else to do"
option 2 - "twt mode" (time wasting tactics)
option 3- "looking for distraction form other bored people online"
option 4- "nothing good on tv"
when ur online for a really long time
option 1 - "idle"
Choose or Loose?
Making choices is the most intricate part of life. You’re halfhearted, perplexed with thoughts like “Would it be nice to go back and change things if it goes wrong?” I sat down took a deep breathe and gave myself 5 minutes to ponder on this question and I realized that, me being dubious about reality, I think a linear time frame is the key part of what its a part to be a human
Imagine if your really important choices are sampled like a box of chocolates then our decisions would loose its meaning
What would be at stake?
