Of Muthali, Pink Chaddis and How some children never grow up

I am bored, irritated and appalled enough to hear about a moron named Muthali, Muthalik or whoever he is, and now I have to read here about some underwear campaigns, listening to which I was shocked more at Karthik's judgment to post it then to bother about the pinky chaddis.

So, a kid named B, snatched C's chocolate and C says, 'Maza chakkata hun tujhe bachu', (I am going to teach you a lesson dude). This looks so awesome on kids, but on adults, *Sigh*.

So this chap forms some crazy sena of some sorts and now the public, (who never likes to see their own sins, the times they evaded taxes, the times they deserted their family and friends, seldom bothered about the poor on the streets, except discussing their plight in hi-fi coffee shops etc.,) has claimed moral high grounds too. They will teach the guy a lesson.

The moron wanted attention desperately and public is more then giving with their large hearts.
Along with attention, he is getting chaddis, free !!! free !!! free !!!

And what will he do with the chaddis? Perhaps sell them to hire a PR agent who will manage the glory these people are giving him.

It is not that am a miser who won't part with a chaddi. I can lend him a pink chaddi with white polka dots, to give a designer touche, but am not doing any thing of that sorts.

If I would give a Chaddi of any color including pink, I would give it to:

* The small girl or boy on the streets, whose rags have been recently torn apart by the monster who invaded their sexuality.
* The children who die every year in millions because of mosquito and insect bites, as they don't have enough clothing on them.
* All those kids, who never have worn a brand new clothing all their life.
<<<<<<<<
At least my attention to them wont go completely waste and even if media does not notice my gesture, I do not want to be a hero too.

So guys and gals. After you are done by taking that loser dude on the heights of chaddi's oops!!!
popularity, I mean, get down for some serious stuff for the moral development of earth.

Also start voting for the awards on Poll and also please suggest me nominations for the rest of the categories.

tushar .. it was not the idea that enthralled me but the fact that finally people were doing something even if silly to assert what they believe is right .. and their action is not hurting anyone ... its something .. better than nothing .. look at the intent that is being shown .. surprisingly look at what is connecting ppl ... this shows on how much of a shift has come in the events people give value to .. i am not going to say whether it is for good or bad ... but i am glad that there is some form of agitation taking place ...
secondly ... as far as tax etc. goes .. well TDS is followed by all corporates and corps. are the major participants so take that back yaar .. yes your point of giving a chaddi to a poor is good but it should not come as I would rather .. if it has to be done by u it has to be done irrespective of anything else ..

I agree with you that there is a need to pay attention to things like poverty or unemplyment. We can donate to those who need our help. But I am totally supporting this campaign. Not that I am another silly girl who loves going to the pub. I dont even to a pub for gods sake! Its just that for once, women (and some men too) have got up to express their anger and frustration in a peaceful (and yes funny..you might call it kidish as well) and organized manner. You point out that this campaigne is making promaod muthalik popular. Yes it is making him popular, but in a wrong way. In a way that spits on his face and says we oppose ur sick thoughts!
I feel this is a better way to express that we women exist and stand up for what we believe is right. What else could they have done? Go with 'morchas' (demostrations) yelling at the top of their voices? Or declare a 'band' or whatever you call it, like the other political lunatics and disturb the day to day life.
I believe we should donate to the poor people just like we are giving it away to that moron muthalik. Maybe you could be the one to start that camapign.
If you feel this campaign is wrong and you feel your idea is right, then do it. Start a campaign and you will receive the same responce i guess. Only because we, as youth of India care (even if its in the tiniest possible way!).

@Tushar

Chillax mate. As Richa put it, I find the campaign ludicrously hilarious. And quite a few that I know of are going ahead with *donations*

If you ask me, we need such "campaigns"... At least ideas like these. Muthalik et al shd know that we ain't pushovers.

@Gargi
Welcome here. We appreciate your time to stop by and voice out.

Peace.

@ Richa, Serious issues should not be made to look like a laughing stock. Look what they did with that Raj fellow in Mumbai.
@ SID
Now another post on TDS and Taxes is coming your way.
@ Gargi
I cannot recall the exact quote
but it says some thing like this:

"There is no such thing as bad publicity. All publicity is good publicity."

@ Karthik

Am sorry it seems my sense of humor dries up when it comes to certain issues :-)
Well for my campaigns. A good idea you gave, will surely consider it.
Welcome to the Blog :-)
Hope to see more of you here.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Trail of Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab – A joke!

Who do you trial? Who does this? What is this all about? Is this playing with justice or is it just a mockery of the whole thing? Well, there are lots of questions and I find very less of answers to all these. Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab is the only survivor from the pack of Pakistani terrorists who attacked Mumbai on November 26, 2008 (better known as 26/11). He was captured while he was on a rampage killing scores of people and injuring hundreds, on that dreadful night in Mumbai. There was a lot of fuss in the last few months about him being a Pakistani or his age to be prosecuted in an adult court or with his captivity. Recently, the long awaited trial started and everyone is waiting to see what the court will decide on his fate. Ridiculous! What is there to decide? Hang him!! Simple… Well, I do not want to hang him without getting all the information from him and only after proving that the attackers were all from Pakistan and the whole incident was built up by the Pakistani Army, Go...

A tale of 1 country: Brothers in arms

I stand at my balcony and watch the unfortunate (no not unfortunate) events unfold 2 floors down. Dadi (grandmother) has fallen to the ground and is crying, my mother has a face of steel, its frozen into a blank stare; I know this state, I have seen it before, she is controlling herself showing a brave and proud wife to the world. She is helping dadi. Uncle keeps pointing past the gate and is shouting something at dada (grandfather). Dada has just locked the gate and is walking back to the house. Past the gate I can see a group of people all clad in white, surrounding something lying on the ground covered with a white cloth. My governess Shobhadi stands next to me holding me, afraid that I'll run downstairs into the scene unfolding. She and and the servants have been given strict orders that I can not be allowed downstairs. Dada thinks I do not understand what is happening, he thinks I cannot comprehend what is going on, but I do. The year is 19...
