End justifying the means

This is the running theory in most of the South Indian movies that I've ever seen till date. Movie heroes are always chasing bad guys. Repeat, re-repeat, re-re repeat. OK. We faithfully swallow that one. But, how the hero takes out the bad guy? That's what beats me.

Let's see. First of all, the hero pretty much self-appoints himself as the savior of the society's evils. But what about his plan? Well, what plan? You know, the one which pretty much involves the most primitive weaponry in the history of mankind. No thinking whatsoever - just take an axe and cut someone's body part off? Gruesome. Last time I checked, even boys in a kindergarten playground probably exhibit better fighting strategies than our movie heroes do.

We're choking by now but let's move on. After a horrendous battle, and after we scream and plead - enough, please I don't want to see one more drop of ketchup ever in life, the director mercifully decides to end our torture. Hero kills the villian along with scores of poor souls, some of them having no clue why they have been executed. Finally, the finale.

Where as I going with this? Seriously, why is the underlying message always resonating that 'end' i.e getting rid of the bad guy 'justify the means', i.e you can do whatever you want to achieve that end. Why are we still clinging on to this kind of Stalinist philosophy which has become extinct long time back?

Human Needs and Relationships....Part 1

Let's admit it. All of us as adult humans have needs, wants and desires. At first, they have and will be at a basic sustenance level of food, shelter and clothing, and once that's done, it moves to many different elevations above. Also, it always starts with material things like money, car, house, job etc., then kids (and the heavy price tag that comes with them) etc. Think of it as the " taking " phase. At some point of life, when many hairs have been "grayed-and-dyed" after, we hopefully evolve to higher-order thinking like social work, helping/caring for others or spiritual quest etc. - basically, chucking the hugely inflated and egoistic "me and only me" out and replacing it with a big picture view of "what i can do for others", "how i can be useful to Mother Earth"  line of thought process. This would be the " giving " or " pay-back " phase. Sorry, life doesn't offer any free lunch, anytime, an...

Obey the IST rule, or else....

If you are an Indian living abroad, you must have heard this imaginary time zone, that we're all supposedly living in. If you are a newbie, read on. IST i.e Indian Standard Time is to arrive atleast 2 hours behind any given, scheduled time. You'll be unceremoniously banished from the 'desi' club and lose your badge of honor, even if you go a minute earlier. I have no idea who's the brain behind this acronym. But, my wild guess is that, it belongs to a body full of lazy bones - all 206 of them. Indian parties, especially, follow this IST rule to the core. Everyone will be late. You have to. Unless you wish to see your host in his pajamas or the hostess sans makeup. Looking at you with embarassment. You look quite puzzled and politely point out that the party time has been printed as 1.00pm. Lo presto, your watch shows exactly 1.00pm. And, they would go, "So what? You dumbo. Nitwit. That doesn't mean you should come exactly at that time. You did the same for ...

Life behind the Veil...

I just finished reading a fascinating book -'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini . In the book, when the author talks about Afghanisthan and the cruelty of the Taliban, it reminded me of our short stay in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 15 years ago. A bad dream, but worth penning about. At the outset, Riyadh appeared to be a beautiful garden city, with well-maintained roads, glamorous malls and people literally rolling in money everywhere. All this wealth in exchange for one birthright - your freedom. That's the skeleton that was taking rap lessons in the closet. Yes, I'm talking about the terrible human, especially womens' rights that would go on in a country that's stinking rich with its oil money. Being the capital city, Riyadh was trying to implement the Shariat Law to the maximum at that time. Hope things are better now. Saudi women had to wear a full burkha covering their faces and we, the foreign women had to wear an 'abhaya' or a veil that could show o...
