Sunday Supplementary BLUES

Why do I have to see these crap things again & again???
My roomie was grumbling looking at the TOI last Sunday. No he was not looking at any thing like a psycopath molesting & killing children or Iraq burning(These have become so common to warrant any respond from any one living on this planet).
What he was grumbling about,,,, was the way this paper which claims to be the number 1 Indian English Daily is setting dangerous trend.Rather than admitting that they don’t have any thing to give to reader, they start printing some craps which is not outright offensive but which crosses all levels of decency which a civilised society asks for.

Last Sunday it was about public display of affections by couples.According to the paper nowdays people are not scared to show their feelings in public, be it getting locked in lip kiss or be it hugging each other or for that matter fondling each other(Common should some one tell them that being Number one is a huge responsible task also,though the self claim of being number one sounds duboius).I don't know if at all it is the trend that has started(Still I see those loving & caring parents who are desparate to instill some ethics & values in their kids,still I find people wearing respecatble clothes who outnumber those about whom the paper shamelessly writes vaguely calling gthem trendsetter) or the paper was clueless how to grab eyeballs.

By the way which cities or places do these people survey????MG road in Bangalore(The crowdest place in Bangalore where one does not have space to turn one's head),Pubs & JUHU beach in Mumbai(Which is a safe haven for s*x,) or for that matter these clubs where the rich splurge themselves & where money talks, morality does not find any place.

No one discredits any one for doing this because we all human beings are emotional beings, we all have emotions which some time is vented our by each of us. But the way we display it, warrants debate at an intellectual and matured level which does not need soft pornographies.This paper rather than studying the major important aspects and publishing some mentally simulating debate, publishes pictures & arts which some time even crosses decency.

If this state of affairs continue & if we give patronage to this kind of yellow journalism,I Can imagine the day when there will be no difference between a stray dogs satisfying it's carnal desire in street in the open space & the human beings .

An Ode to Brand Experience

AT THE SHOP
I- How much is this shirt???
ShopKeeper- 2000 Rs. sir.This is a ***** shirt,,, sir.The pieces those are moving very fast.You will surely like it.You can confidently buy this sir.

IN MY ROOM

My RoomMate-Where from you bought this shirt????
Me- From that ******* showroom.
My RoomMate- Does not look that costly. It looks very cheap.I guess he took you for a ride.

ME ON THE BED

I should not have bought that shirt.It really looks bad.Price was very steep also.

AFTER 15 DAYS

Our Cook(Looking at the bundle of clothes placed on the floor)-Sir,why have you thrown these clothes???Can I check out if I can take some of them???
Me-Sure.

He picks up the shirt which was still new & left.

So much for getting inside a dazzling shop & getting something which we call brand experience :(
