Diwali with lords

contemporary conversation between lords in diwali of 2013...

 Rama: hey Lakshman, why didn’t you get reservation earlier..Travelling this way is such a mess..Exile was much soothing.
Lakshman: Brother. Don’t bother. You have killed Ravana not Osama..Please don’t act Obama…travel like an ordinary man. Getting reservations in these days is next to mission impossible.

Sita: both of you listen. No matter how we reach, make sure this diwali I get designer sari and handsome gold..

Rama: sari ,I would get you this time from Leela Bazaar .best sari shop down the town..I read on fb, this time they are giving 50% off on saris.

Sita: what about offers on Klipkart and Fabong.com??

Rama: please we are buying saris...I didnot check them yet. For gold you have to wait till Shoban Sarkar’s dream gets dug.

Sita: check out what are the preparations at Ayodhaya. Did they get new interiors??Has Ayodhaya became a metropolitan city yet.

Lakshman: it has become metro political city..People win election in lord’s name.

Rama: they just informed that they are buying new carrr.

Lakshman: bhaiya did you check Bharat’s status??

Rama: no what it says?

Lakshman: it reads

Fire! Cracker! Gifts!

 Lord Rama returns!!

#diwalihomecoming.

Sita: I thought they would state your bravery tales and my sordid saga. But I’m sure they might be going bad mouth about me, because I stayed at other man’s place. Patriarchy….

Lakshman: ok lets buy some sweets. from the shop. There is  so much rush. Bhaiya because of your homecoming people got diabetic, their lung exhale O2 and inhale Co2.

Rama: so you want me to go back to Lanka and change my plan of homecoming??

Because of me people get insane…

What a loss

Victory of truth over evil in vain.

Sita: don’t go philosophical..Think about me, after diwali gets over I would have to give ----Agnipariksha to tell people my character is safe and I m still pure...Dear don’t you think even you should give Agnipariksha. Even you stayed alone for 14 years. That too in wild. How they could set you free and not doubt your character???

Rama: ok baby I would definitely ‘think’ about it.

Lakshman: “think” lol..

Let’s buy some gifts this time, before it gets late.

Sita: Indian culture it’s all about formalities. In name of culture people burn their pockets.

Rich gets richer and poor, poorer .old parents surviving on pension have to send expensive gifts and clothes to their daughter’s in laws. Dowry seems to have become a recurring deposit, every now and then you have to keep depositing something so that your daughter survives dowry harassment or even death.

Lakshman: you are right, middle class has gone Hippocratic. They shout for inflation. But spend like anything on festivals to show off. They under pay their maid, workers…bullshit.

Sita: In name of god, even rape and murder are justified.

Rama: oho..I think our homecoming does more harm than good. Should we go back to Lanka..Here is pollution, Diabetic people and also it would save me from giving Agnipariksha..I’m afraid of it.

Lakshman: bhaiya you are not brave. A man can win any test. But always fails a woman’s test. A man can never match woman’s patience and perseverance.

Rama: O feminist...I would definitely give Agnipariksha  if you would accompany me .you see even you have stayed away from you wife Urmila for 14 years, as Sita says “that too in wild”. One should practice what one preaches...isn’t??

Lakshman: so what I was saying? Are we going back to Lanka?

Sita: Men will be men.

Death of reason and logic:Age of Post-Truth

"We, as a free people", wrote late Serbain American playwright Steve Teisch "have freely decided that we want to live in some post-truth world" in an essay in the Nation magazine in 1992. The essay was in the context of the Iran -Contra scandal and the Persian Gulf War. The author would not have even the faintest idea that almost twenty-five years later Oxford dictionary, on November 12, 2016 will make ‘post-truth' the word of the year. 'Post' here doesn't mean ‘after' but suggests to the time when truth becomes insignificant and irrelevant. Thanks to Brexit and the results of US Presidential elections –this failed media prophets and others in the field of psephology. However, had Oxford University paid heed to the India around and from 2014, the word Post-truth would have found its place a few years ago only! In 2014, Media machinery projected a man who hitherto was nowhere in the picture, as the "leader", the country needed on it...

Why history lessons were boring in schools?

We were not taught (told) history as it was. History lessons dealt with dates and events only, history was always about kings,wars,victories and so called larger than life things. We were just told who ruled us,for how long.We never came to know about common man's life,may be it was not worth writing or documenting(it is still not worth it,only politicians make news). History books never had chapters of North East India and its contrib ution to Indian freedom struggle.Conflict regions' making and history was never made available rather they were just called resource abundant regions. Rise of right wing (radicalisation)doesn't find mention either. History books have been agents of lies and deception. History writing is often used as tool by state to deceive it's citizens,so that the truth and facts never come out. Whether it's America,India or Pakistan,their school history lessons are self congratulatory. Currently state is busy in bringing 'In...

Nightingale got no prize at the poultry show

Einstien,Twain,Edison were born out of class, before the text proceeds , I would like to say here 'class' doesn’t mean the structure with four walls, one door, two windows, one teacher, books and the pack of chained students. Here class is the niche of brilliance, freedom, discovery, imagination and invention. I wish to have education system that forges humans with brain and not machines with grades. As a student .I always wondered, how one can go about saying two plus two equals to four? Without anyone questioning why? Just because our course book said so. Why in history "dates and events” were asked? When no one taught us the resemblance to the days which we live in. Why for learning anything new, we need old books instead of new ideas? Why make notes in class, when the brain is blank and ink in copy left no hammer on thinking? Why teachers ask us to learn by heart, while it is the mind that is required to do so.? Even Winston Churchill had a dig at his tea...
