Or their future will I be able to choose. And save them from abuse and bruise and say I refuse?

Back at the office after arguing against the suspension, based on this heard Mr.C say women who wear scanty clothes are asking for "it", as he opened his tiffin box during lunchtime. I quickly walked over to him and grabbed some of the contents of his tiffin box in my hand and as he opened his mouth to protest, stuffed it in his mouth. And calmly returned to my seat. In a rage, he ran over to the sink, spat the contents out and demanded an explanation from me. I replied sweetly "Why Mr.C, the contents of the tiffin box were in front of you, you were probably in your mind asking for it. Why bother if its hot or if you enjoy only if you are feeded lovingly by someone you like. If you cant tolerate even a mouthful of, food you like, made by a person you like, at a time when you want to eat, and chew it, what makes you so sure of what women want in their vagina "
Now to deal with irritated folks at my office, I am busy writing to political parties and the media, that if people have their food in front of them, they are asking for it to be stuffed in their mouth, never mind when or by whom. Any support? Tuesday, 26 April 2005
The lady in the corner, has become a Monday Morning Mystery. Today to work, she wore a black purdah, without a headscarf and became the talk of the office.Unable to resist, I walk over to her cubicle Aargh : "Are you feeling cold?" Corner Lady (henceforth CL),with a smile : "No" and gets back to work. Aargh : "You are err wearing a purdah" CL : Nods without looking at me. Aargh : "Well I remember reading some years back that a woman in Kashmir was beheaded because she was not wearing a purdah, I think." Again nods without looking at me, Aargh : "Errr its yours?" CL : "Neighbour" Aargh persistently : "But isnt headscarf also important?" Read More... Saturday, 23 April 2005
Aaaargh will there be no end to the bias! http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1?ion=0&article=48527&d=18&m=7&y=2004
(I think that comes to more than 210 billion Rupees. And alcohol is prohibitied, so rules out drunken driving too!) Well thumbs up to the woman there who said, if you wont let me drive, I will fly and became a pilot :) And so its not that just women are bad drivers. And is it so tough for some to accept women as humans? Families suffer after an accident. Men and Women both get affected. Its tragic and changes life and lifestyles. Whats important is road safety and not winning ego trips. Women can drive, if you think to the contrary, perhaps its just because you want to take her for a ride? PS : For every opinion, its not possible to collect the most reliable data and then base the opinion. Sometimes many go by personal experiences. Just because a blogger here (male or female), thinks women are bad drivers, doesnt make women, bad drivers nor does it perhaps make, those who hold that opinion MCPs. After all, if from tommorrow, if majority of the bad drivers I meet, wear denim jackets, I would be wary about drivers who wear denim jackets and perhaps might say there could be a scientific reason for this, even if there is a country where denim jackets are banned and even if that country has one of the highest accident rates in the world :D But would I be justified in saying those who wear denim jackets should be banned from driving, without any study, scientific evidence etc?

 So India lost an oneday cricket series to Pakistan. How terrible na.. What could be worse? How about when you dont have a country to cheer? Of course in our case, at the moment, it would be, no team to curse:) I read My Kind of Exile by Tenzin Tsundue, which won the Outlook Picador Contest in 2001. Perhaps you had read it then, but then guess its better late than never for me. If you havent read do read it. Or should Tenzin Tsundue bomb or kidnap innocents, to get attention? The bud was about to blossom, to its glory But just before it could spread the petals and enjoy the spring It had to be uprooted . And so the bud, still waits, to bloom, in a land of its own.

There are still some souls in India who think cricket is a waste of energy. OK OK I will be specific - men's cricket. (They dont have an opinion on women's cricket because, though they reached World Cup final, most dont know they exist.) But what no one considers a waste is the post series analysis. So what if the Indian team has a laptop, software etc, I wonder if any computer can compete with the billion opinions which will be discussed now. Well what can we do when India wins? Party all night, burst crackers, distribute sweets and tell the next day wow did u see the match etc? So we will have some commentators singing praises and we will have to endure the cricketer who is the flavour of the month, in few more ads. But when we lose : Read More... Tuesday, 12 April 2005

Hmmm did you see the pics, of the Women in Blues, anyone looks like Anna (Kournikova)? No. If anyone had looked like Anna, would the sponsors have kept away? After all talent is not the first thing they look for. But I think now, the girls will get more corporate support now, after all even if they dont win on Sunday, they did enter the finals of the World Cup for the first time. Who do you think will jump onto the bandwagon or use women's cricket in their ads? Well the fairness cream definitely. Now we will have ads not of just girls becoming commentators using fairness cream but of a girl hitting a six but not finding a guy and torn between net practise and her tanned face. And some well wisher will give her the Solution and hey presto within a week or 10 days, she will score a match winning shot, which will be a six and yeah a guy in the stadium will catch it and of course he will be handsome rich and eligible and ask the girl if she would marry him and she will have 2 trophies thanks to the fairness cream, one for the Person of the Match and the other Mr.Admirer of Ms.Fair Face.

Dear Diary But even if they dont win, I will not give up. A 14 year old girl. Thursday, 7 April 2005
 I entered the office and the Lady in the Corner (I will think of a better nickname later) wished me with a bright smile ,"Happy World Health Day". I mumbled a thanks and wish you the same, and got another excuse to delay starting my work.Thought, what does stuff like these mean to me? Do I get a day off? No. Do I get gifts and wishes and ecards? No. (On the +ve side I dont have to send ecards and give gifts and no one can be upset with me for forgetting them). Wonder why the corporate marketing wizkids Read More... |
