Things I am emo about

Hmm..Things that I am emotional about??..I was told that ‘irritation’ is also an ‘emotion’, and its a lot easier to write about things that irritate you, isn’t it? So yea, let me start with sharing the things that irritate me, later I can share other emos like things that make me cry, laugh,frown etc etc.

1)Tamils who support LTTE ; countries asking Sri Lanka to halt their military operations against them.

Finally Sri Lanka is doing something that it should have done long back, it is something that India should have done long back. Wipe out the terrorists in a planned offensive!!

Demand for separate land?WTF? Why can’t you stay in harmony with others? And as if a separate land will solve your problems? What happened to Pakistan?what happened to Bangladesh?

For those of you who think that Sri Lanka is bombing innocent civilians who are trapped, let me tell you a responsible Govt will always try its best to save innocents, its the cold-blooded terrorists who will not care for innocents, have a look at TOI’s report which confirm that LTTE is infact using civilians as human shields.

LTTE-killed-civilians-Surrendered-leaders

I did not actually need TOI to confirm this for me, this was something which was so obvious to me.These terrorists will go to any extent to save their ass.

For those supporting ceasefires, it is a truism by now that ceasefires only helps these terrorists as they come out stronger and kill more people.

For those against violence, I say Sri Lanka did not call for it, it was not their first choice, but what the hell are you gonna do if people come and kill your innocent civilians every alternate day? and the death toll is about 40,000 for your information.

For those supporting political resolution, or resolution through talks, I think the Govt tried it for 2 decades, but as they say laato ke bhoot baato se nahi maante.

People still want Sri Lanka to stop?Why not use your channels and pursue LTTE instead to give up??Huh??Very simple right??

The best part was, when the assholes were subjugated in a 6KM sq area, they declared ceasefire, just as I was reading the news, I thought “what a fucking Joke” and next day Sri Lankan Govt comes out with the same word “A Joke”.

I do know the purpose of why LTTE came into being, but what the hell, if you deviate from your very purpose and start developing suicide bombers, then you will have no sympathy atleast from me and BUSH.

On Similar lines, I was irritated when Israel was asked to stop their confrontation with HAMAS recently. For me, it was the same thing,, hello!! Israel did not call for it, they even gave up GAZA, hoping for peace, you freaking come and fire rockets at them, what do you expect back? I know that innocents get involved and loose their lives, but then there are innocents loosing their life on Israel’s side as well, right? A country has every right to protect its citizens.

You don’t expect every country to be an India showing so called ‘resilience and restraint’ even after people come, enter your house, kill your civilians, but you show world-famous ‘restraint’!!

For those Indians who espouse LTTE, they should probably feel for local banned outfits like SIMI etc etc too, otherwise you are just a hypocrite.

This is why I probably like Bush and even Bhagat Singh for that matter!!

Oops! I had a few more ‘irritations’ to write, this was just one, but may be I will divide this subject into parts – a hundred of ’em?, so that I don’t end up writing an exhausting post again.:-)

God! when will I ever be able to write a 55 word thingi??

IHM, you had once asked if 'violence is justified for any goddamn reason', here is my answer, I probably did not comment then, because I knew I could write a dozen posts on that topic.:-)!

My try on ‘55 words Thingi’

IHM gave me an idea of writing ‘55 word fiction’ because she thought my posts are too long and it will be like a ‘self-challenge’ for me to limit myself to 55 words.So, here is my 1st attempt to write a ‘55 WORD FICTION FACT’ ( we will leave FICTION for some other time’ – lets take it one by one people, phew!)

A lot of urban ‘sensible’ urban voters are entering the election fray this time. My take…

We have Captain Gopinath of  ‘Air Deccan’ from Bangalore, then we have Meera Hiranandani from Mumbai – a banker unhappy with the way Govt handled 26/11, then we also have a new party – loksatta –from Hyderabad – “voice of the urban” – supposedly.I am sure there are few others that I am unaware of.

My fear is that these people will take away votes not from the most ‘undeserving candidate’ but from the most ‘deserving candidate’ from among those who are fighting ( even though my ‘most deserving’ candidate can be a jerk too – but what I mean is he would still be better than other jerks – or say the ‘least bastard’).

Why?I presume that it is the ‘sensible’ voters like you and me who are going to vote for these ‘sensible urban candidates’.Whom do you think we would have voted if we were not voting them?Ofcourse the ‘least bastard’ one.So, we end up harming our ‘least bastard’ candidate instead of the ‘most bastard’ one. To add – I do believe ‘sensible’ voters are in minority in India and hence our votes might not help these ‘sensible urban voters’ win anyway.:-(. Sad – but I do believe my presumptions are logical.

I repeatedly choose to classify you and me under ‘sensible voters’ category because I presume that ‘you and me’ are not going to vote for a candidate because of his caste/Religion/Sex or for a bottle of liquor, nor are we gonna fall for any of the fake promises or any ominous agendas like ‘hindutva’ or ‘culture’ shit.

Having said all this – I want to convey that I definitely don’t encourage you to ‘not vote’ for these ‘sensible urban voters’, lets atleast give motivation to others to join too, today or tomorrow they and hence we -- might win.

I guess I have ended up crossing a little over 320 words.Never mind, lets call it a ‘55 355 WORDS FACT’. Yea, something new for a change.

 

55 355 WORDS FICTION FACT

A literary work will be considered 55 355 WORDS Fiction FACT if it has:
