Crumpled Peacock, Tattered Tiger

Oh my God !!! How can it be ? Isn' one out of every 5 in the world Indian ? Didn't we all pitch in online once upon a time ( well, I didn't, but a hell many did obviously ) to ensure Amitabh Bachchan a.k.a. the Farmer was voted as THE STAR OF THE MILLENIUM, leaving the rest of the world wondering, "Huh ? Who's that ?"

So how is it that with 7.7.7 approaching, the monumet of India, the Taj, is barely registering in the NEW 7 wonders of the world opinion poll ? Suddenly, there's songs on Tv, news channels and all forms of media trying to wake up every Indian to the fact that they have to do their moral duty once more and make Shah Jahan a happy corpsy.

Bugging, isn't it, when things don't go your way ? Despite all the whining and grumbling, with less han a month away, things look grim for the Marbled wonder.. well, unlike you evil munchkins, I went online and did my part - I voted.

I got 7 votes and so voted for :

1. Acropolis 2. Christ Redeemer 3. Easter Island Statues 4. Eiffel Tower 5. Great Wall of China 6. Neuschwanstein Castle and 7. Sydney Opera House.

Oops.. I forgot to put the Taj in there, now, didn' I ? Duh !! How dare I be so anti-national ? Does this make me less Indian ? Just what is the concept here.. that as an Indian, you must choose Indian ? What happened to freedom of choice.. there's a reason why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavours - because NOT EVERYONE wants vanilla, chocolate or strawberry !!! The choice is of an individual, not a nation's honour. You wanna use arm twisting politics ? Here's some advice, guys - try your 27 % minority reservation here, beeeyach !! Funny, isn't it ? the Indians of the world united once this year ( or was it the Brits ? ) to help Shilps win the Shilpa- Goody war. Yet now....



Another orange clan is fuming too elsewhere in India. Everybody's writing badly about our daddy cause he's a bloody religious don who uses force to bend the system and always escape... boohoo !!
The natural answer to finding out that Orkut has a few hate communities devoted to "Sarkar" - go to a random cyber cafe and beat up the people inside. Gee, that should work, jackass. Then, realising they were thinking too small scale, they demanded Orkut be banned nationwide. Sigh... for once, their whims have come to naught as noone can do anything for them. The fact that the old padre's 3 grandchildren all have Orkut profiles further embarrassed the party's stand.. FINALLY. How does it feel to lose ?
You know, for once, can you guys go do something good.. like, for example, go beat up the guys killing your logo ( THE TIGER , not saffron shorts ) so that your kids can live to see a real tiger in their lifetime ? Or actually go and hack to death rapists and murderers, theives and dons.. it is such an immense waste of manpower to see these million pricks with their long knives and forks holding a democracy at ransom, doncha think ? Can you imagine the influence they could wield if they would only turn to good deeds and leave the moral issues of history to... history ? Finally, we'd get some vigilantes we could be proud of..

Anyway, we have good company in stupid rules - did you read of the Egyptian fatwa that says that a woman can only work with a man together if she breastfeeds him 5 times ( thus forming a maternal-son bond ) !!!! I don't know about you guys, but I'm already building the sails for my boat... methinks, the Egyptian clerics have been staring too long at the camel humps, eh ? Amazing the shit they come up with. Isn't it funny how you can get away with a lot of crap as long as you say it's in God's name .. weirdos !! Huh ? What did you say ? My blog title what ? My posts claim to be what ? Oh,lay off, will ya.. go click on the link and vote your 7 wonders !!! Meanwhile, I and God will resume our Monopoly game. Hehehe, my doggy just built a hotel on PALLMALL.. and somebody's gonna pay !!!!
