Do we need the immoral 'moral-police'?

Date: January 24, 2009
Place: Amnesia - The Lounge, Mangalore
Incident: Around 40 people - self-proclaimed moral-police - barge into the pub and beat up young women.

So, the so-called moral-police have resurfaced to mock at the freedom that this nation is entitled to. These people later went on to support their act saying it was done 'in the interests of the society'. I think these hooligans must have got the Indian citizenship only recently because I being an Indian cannot connect with their idea of 'society's interests'. Just imagine you go out with your friends for a few hours of fun and a bunch of ignorants (yes..they simply know nothing about our culture or past) appear from nowhere, to dictate that what you are doing is against the Indian culture. As if beating up girls is a part of our culture or it is 'in the interest of our society'.

I think these people are driven by the problem of 'limited knowledge'. They are not aware of our rights, our culture or our past. They are perfect examples of ignorant fanatics.

Now, with Valentines' Day round the corner, the (im)moral-police will probably strike again, with their Talibanised ideology, in some part of the country or another. We all need to stand up against such forms of 'internal terrorism' because we surely wouldn't want to get used to it.

Befriend Books

"Computers will never take the place of
books. You can't stand on a floppy disk to
reach a high shelf." - Sam Ewing

This image speaks a lot. Yes. It really does. Its not just about the comic sense, its more..much more than that. I always felt that the only field where books took over the entertainment industry relates to the plays we read in school. Long ago when masters like Shakespeare wrote plays..it was not meant for readers but for the audience. Now, after decades we find the audience material wrapped up in text books that students are required to study as part of the syllabus. Well the electronic media has long taken the revenge in the guise of e-books. Though I find e-books less convenient. Now, this image gave me another such 'field'.. of course you cannot stand on disks to reach a higher shelf!

Anyways, a few months back I read a book called "Five Point Someone" by Chetan Bhagat. I loved reading the book so much that I completely gave into reading. I decided to keep at least one book reserved anytime so that I could read it in my leisure. So, this way it went and I read thrillers, horror, detective novels and works of humour. Even though I didn't get too much involved in reading books, it was a good feeling to know that at anytime I had an interesting book to spend time with. It's amazing how one can love reading books even after dreading the species all through school life!
Reading surely helped me realize where I stood in terms of vocabulary, but it also helped me, and it continues to help me, improve my vocabulary.
Another way reading proved helpful was that now I spend less time on the computer to make room for my hobby. Everyone knows how cutting down computer usage can be beneficial - for both the user and the environment!




Until next time..

"His whole body can be utilised for use. More so the milk. What can it do? Various ghee, butter,cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally.

"His motion is slow only because he is of asitudinious species. Also his other motion is much useful to trees, plants as well as making flat cakes in hand and drying in the sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating. Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass.

"His only attacking and defending organ is the horn, specially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards.

"He has got tails also, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which alight on his cohoa body whereupon he gives hit with it.

The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts his eyes like his relatives, the horse does not do so.

"This is the cow."
