BULLSHIT


Okay, so seriously what's with this hyper emotional world that we're living in all of a sudden?
Meh, let's get to the point. For the past couple of weeks I've been seeing on my facebook, stuff like



Well congratulations girls. It's an amazing thing that you're fair and you don't care if you're lovely, because, boy that's what we all do in here. And of course, we generalize doctors as having bad handwriting, in much the same way as Hitler generalized jews to be assholes who needed to be killed. So a kudos to you miss doctor for really breaking away from that stereotype.

I actually shouldn't even jab at the girls, they're just a small part of a really stupid big campaign.
The campaign, is about breaking stereotypes, and the list of stereotypes that it breaks, are barely stereotypes to start with. Like, here:

because nobody knew that.

All I feel like saying to the guy organizing this thing is,
what's the purpose of this? Did you actually expect to make a non thinker think with those stupid placards? Are you EVEN SAYING ANYTHING?

It's just exaggerated emotion! much like this stupid video


People have their right to their everyday first world problems. It's not like they're telling researchers and army men, to go utilize the country's resources to fix these issues. No. They voice those problems, just like you'd say, it's too hot if it were hot and the electricity was out. You're not obligated in that moment to think about all the children in Africa who don't have fans. That, is just plain dumb.

And sadly, that's the kind of hyper emotional world we're in now.
The fast and the impatience, that we promote with our consumer culture, has given rise to superficiality, and lack of thought.
And when there's lack of thought, the only reactions come from emotions. Irrational emotions.

So like animals(only capable of pre-programmed reactions), we present each other with what we hope are outrageous/or shocking things (no matter how dumb they may be), and we make sure we build those outrageous things around sensitive issues that other people have feelings about so all the bullshit gets promoted in a typhoon of emotion, and becomes a taboo, with people feeling so much, and protecting their cult, and no one really giving any thought into JUST HOW STUPID IT ALL IS.

Because baseless and funny stereotypes are a bigger issue than corruption , rape and stuff!!

Lol, I think I got excited, and that comment was supporting me for questioning the stupidity behind the campaigns.

So sorry if I did that. :P

Hello there. Its been quite sometime now since a proper post. I wonder if I even remember how its done. Now that would be tough if only there was anything to it right? Technically, "asdjhqowie" would qualify as a post. Not an interesting one, or even comprehensible for that matter.. or any adjective other than rubbish, crap or WTF?!? (which isn't really an adjective, but it still describes stuff I suppose, so lets ignore that for now.) [**pssst - I conveniently left out the implications the word 'proper' may have had.] But well, whatever. So anyway, I just gave my IIT paper yesterday. Before the 1st paper, I was awesomely relaxed, cool and positive, which was a bit mad at a level, cuz I'd so totally ruined my life for Mr.Judgement Day here, and the least I could do was feel apprehensive and tensed, and NO, it wasn't the confidence in my preparation. It was more of that strange peace n disattachment I seem to feel when strong emotions are required. And t...

Dear Diary II

He looked up at the dark sky as the stars shone. He needed some heat to clear the cold in his bones. Those are suns too, he knew. And the moon reflected the sun too. And so he decided to have his spirit renewed- What else could he do? There's not really a God over you. And to couple that spirit with hope, That maybe someday he would swing the rope.

Welcome Address. No, really.

Welcome to my fairly-long-pendin formal welcome address. Basically, I had planned to do a nice Venez-à-Delhi formal welcome address, 1st post after the End Kota series(which reminds me, I think all u people's countin must suck cuz no one seems to have brought up the fact that there's no end kota part 2 post there. OR you're convinced that on the planet I hail from, the no. ''2'' rhymed way too much with "foo", n since that isn't a real word, they decided to get rid of 2 too. Plus two words soundin like too/two were way too many twos, right? I wonder if you realise that does not make any sense!? Why would u think stuff like that?) But then (go scroll back up to see the stuff before the bracket)really important n strange stuff happened( the hair cut , and JEE ), and the welcome address got left behind somewhere. Nevertheless, here I am with my welcome address. So Delhi, I suppose was over-the-top excited bout me returning, cuz its welcome was to...
