As usual, I was right

Remember this post and Loky's optimism? I had given him 3 months before he changed his mind. It, in fact. took him 3 weeks. Here's what he said yesterday:

1) He is sick of Kannadis
2) He is sick of the infrastructure issues
3) He is sick of the inefficiency of the people around him
4) He wants to go to some onsite project soon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! MERA BHARAT MAHAAN!!!

dear vikas havent u seen Raang de..?the whole movie asks you only one question.. what have U ever done for your country?all the best for yr Australia trip bro.sure u'll find a nice toilet to clean.
thats why we r born anyway,and thats what we r destined to do..clean a white man's ass.
you want to leave,please leave.just dont put your stupid justifications on Indian social system and rationalise your lack of sense of belonging.

dear loki i think i had told u this before.wherever u go the Missing will continue...
U can travel the whole world and still something will be missing.Trust me.

Shuv said...

before loky and vikas start with the four letter stuff, one question rip. where are u and what do u do? it will put things in perspective for us to start the debate.

Shuv said...

rip: i will answer all your comments here as others may not go back to old posts and read yr comments.

u have asked us to answer what we have done for our country. i pay 3 fucking lakhs of my hard earned money so the lalus and ammas can fill their coffers, so the uneducated slum dwellers can multiply more than rabbits and fill the streets with beggars and so that some chutiya dalit can study in an IIT because his grandfather used to clean toilets. i think thats enough. its my life and i will decide how much of shit i can take.

as for toilet cleaning in aus, your jurassic age indian mentality has come out in that line. so u think a toilet cleaner is in someway inferior to a chartered accountant? i used to work in microsoft in dublin where i used to take a bus to work and the guy who used to clean the toilets used to come in a bmw.

as for the white man's arse..its because of the white man that u and i are talking to each other over the internet in their language. else u would have been a farmer in some village and your life's highlight would have been to visit the nearest city and see the raja/sultan/jamindaar palace from outside.

as for capital punishment..as i said, lets talk after someone close to u has been raped and murdered.

3 men were carrying a boat on their heads.Someone asked them "What are u doing?"to which they replied "this boat has helped us cross the river and we r so grateful that we hv decided to carry it on our heads for the rest of our lives."

i understand and agree with u over the contributions of a white man in this black world, but dont u think its time we drop the boat and walk on our own?

sorry to upset u bro.that was not the intention.just like to ask u one thing,as u seem to be a well travelled person,which country in the world have u seen where the people are absolutely happy with their social system?here u r complaining about poverty or hygiene or lack of lifestyle,there u'll be fighting extreme disciplinary interference,mind control and definitely for indians a lack of freedom and loneliness to top it all.
All i wanted to convey was shifting MIGHT not be the ONLY alternative.If u KNOW whats going to make u happy u might just find it here.
For what do the foreigners come to india?Why do the nri's rush back at their old age or for that matter during their sons marriage?

as for the capital punishment stuff the countries u consider to be civilized have all agreed upon discontinuing with it.My personal vengeance should not prevail in the court of law ,cant help if that makes me sad.

sorry friend there is NO debate.its only a harmless discussion.
I'm sorry i dont believe in winning or losing.I simply believe in LIVING which seems to have been sadly forgotten.

One day when I am old and gray and have a lot of time on my hands, I would really like to sit down and understand people who are so indignant about capital punishment. Do they honestly feel that it is not right to hang a rapist when he probably deserves to be lynched? Or is it just that some people spend a lifetime being "different" by playing the devil's advocate....so much so that they lose track of the line between being rational and being ridiculous. I don't know what you truly believe Rip, 'coz you sound like an intelligent person. But here is what I think....if there were no capital punishment for criminals and my daughter were raped, I would go out, get a gun and kill that person. And so would many other people who do not care about being "different"! Our social system needs some way to stop people from seeking vigilante justice. Capital Punishment is not an effective instrument to reduce crimes. It is more a means to stop law abiding citizens from seeking retribution and turning the society into a battle ground.
Also, what alternative do you suggest? Counselling and psychotherapy? Spending taxpayers' money on people who just chose to do what the heck they wanted???? I say good riddance to bad rubbish and I say all you bleeding hearts should go think about what you are really asking for.

good one jhimli. rip do u know how apt your ID is? wake up man!!

by the way..no one is getting upset or emotional or mad or whatever. its just a discussion and u r welcome to your opinions.

Anonymous said...

ha!ha!shuv u'll seem to be quite unhappy about my ID.the reality is I've already woken up dear. have u?
and i very well know that the ID is an apt one.thax pal.

Anonymous said...

dear jhimli, i truly appreciate yr feelings.Just one thing, u dont need to be old and grey to understand people.it is absolutely in yr hands to decide whether to grow old or grow up.just growing old will not help u understand better.

jhimli,actually ive answered this in shuv's 'justice unheard' section responding to munia's arguments.if u hv time go thru it please.

May b u r getting a wrong reflection that im rndorsing rape or trying to cover up a rapist.For heaven's sake NO.All i'm tryinng to do is ask u to think about the reasons for a man to become a rapist at the first place. He was definitely not born like that.and unless u find out that cause..(which definitely has something to do with social repression)u'll never be able to ERADICATE rape,however much rapists u go on killing.Rapists r a reaction to a cause.TRY to HIT the CAUSE.

here is a question ive asked to munia DO YOU THINK PROSTITUTION IS A BY-PRODUCT OF MARRIAGE?

give it a thought.dont hurry,believe me, i understand the basics.

Van Winkle, do you know that rape has got abosolutely nothing to do with sex and everything to do with power? Those who get off on a power ride of that order cannot be counselled into doing something else. Dhananjoy didn't rape a child even after she was dead because of social repression. He did it because he was pure evil. And there is only one way to get rid of evil....
There are too many deserving people in our country who wait all their lives for a break. Why waste it on people who commit heinous crimes? All that talk is good for countries who have enough money to spare on their bad seeds. Our country doesn't.

ufff..after all these earth-shaking topics u come up with this reply?? cylinder apne gaand me daal le behnchod!

dear loki, hope you enjoy yr cooking to your hearts content.I feel jealous of you pal,Hope i could taste some.

Bon apitito!!

dear shuv, when was the last time you cooked a meal?its definitely more healing than any of these "earth shaking"conversations.
May b u should give it a try.

dear jhimli, one LAST query, What punishment do you suggest if YOUR brother, boyfriend or a family member has commited rape?

Do you have any objection if the convict is killed by a lethal dose of injection or would you enjoy seeing the man dangling from the nooze?

What punishment do YOU recommend for a woman who rapes a man?

stop giong round and round the same tree dear.you wont reach anywhere.

Shuv said...

rip why are you going on and on with the rape topic? we have moved on..reply to what vikas has written.

Anonymous said...

dear vikas,i understand and empathize.but it is unfortunate,well u cant choose the country of your birth, you cant choose your parents or even the primary name given to you by your parents.

what all things r u going to change?
the problem lies NOT in the changing,but the subsequent identity crisis that follows with it.you need to be a little careful here bro.
for a short time gain you just might face a long time loss.

hey shuv, you know Rip Van Winkle was an old man,no ambition,no competition,no stupid rat race,no management skills,no ass licking,no targets,no monthends,no promotions,no career graph....just a simple man who was searching for his roots when his whole surrounding had changed.nobody was ready to accept him.just as all of u refuse to accept this rip van winkle..just think,what have i asked?have i asked you for a loan?(may b that would b simpler),have i imposed anything on you? All ive done is ask you some harmless questions and see how shuv, and munia and jhimli has started jumping around. for nothing!
there is no need to dance shuv.just sit there.meditate and return to your centre.

dear vikas, unfortunately EVERYONE in this blog seems to be absolutely uninteresred in talking on the main topic and seems to be interested only in picking on the most unimportant sections.Anyways..i have a feeling that NO one in this blog is in a habit of thinking deeply into any matters.
i would not do that vikas,if i were you.specially in matters which can actually change the rest of my life!

i'm still hoping for SOMEONE who would be more concerned on the topic itself and less concerned on 'how to jam an outsider'

did you really feel whatever i've written so far had been ALL rubbish and made NO sense whatsoever? I,ll be looking forward for an answer(from anyone in this blog)on this one.
If you have sincere reasonings, i'm ready to take back each and every sentence i've wrtten in this blog so far,and promise not to 'spoil the taste of this blog'any farther.

dear vikas,So far only you and kaushik have come forward with a considerate attitude towards me.
but,
CONSIDERATION is NOT what i need.

i simply wish to DISCUSS.(as shuv had exchanged opinions with loki in mera bharat mahaan)).but since the comments ive (most sincerely)made on the 'rape'topic all i've been confronting is bad words,sarcasm and humiliation.
I'm really surprised bro...

is it ever going to be possible?
a rational discussion ,i mean.

shit - RIP is a pain.

apu - u're getting lots of comments on your blog because of RIP but its becoming a pain and quite repetitive.

RIP - I will answer your question on when did shuv cooked last (don't know whether its already answered - i don't have too much patience to read such long comments). shuv does not eat much so when he is alone he don't need to cook (snacks along with his drinks are enough for him). but when his friends are there staying with him (I often visit delhi and stay with him) - he cooks for them even if he is fully drunk.
