Prejudice or common sense?

I was recently watching this discussion on TV… about the Aussies attacking Indians. Reporting on how skin heads have now started Indian barbeque with much success… Close to a billion people feel that the attacks are racial.. You only need a pea sized brain to figure this out.. The Aussie high commissioner, however, insists that here is not enough evidence yet to suggest that the attacks are racially motivated, and recommends that we wait for the investigations to complete…  Yeah Mr. Commissioner, when dozens of us are beaten to pulp by blokes twice our size, it is silly of us to think that the attacks are racially motivated.

To quote the high commissioner, “We don’t think that racism is a substantial motive or course in these cases. What we are saying here essentially is a pattern of urban crime”

And to think all this time we were concerned that the attacks are racially motivated… Whew! What a relief to know that we are getting roasted not because we are Indian, but because of a “pattern of urban crime”. Of course, all the chanting of “Go back to India!” and “Give me back my taxi” while the poor chap is beaten black and blue is only to trick us into believing that it is racially motivated, when actually, it is not… ta..nanana.. Oh, and the fact that almost every black and blue roasted piece of meat was once an Indian student is just sheer co-incidence… How dumb of us Indians to fret about this and issue advisories.

Anyway, to all my Aussie brothers who have no intention of smashing a face into a curb,

1. Thanks…
2. Pls speak to other Aussies about what an image is being created about Australia and its people…

And to my Indian friends there… Stay strong, and stay safe!


PS: Mr. High Commissioner, your line of reasoning is encouraging a lot of misbehavior on flights here in India. Passengers who have been caught feeling up the air hostesses are insisting that they were merely frisking them, which is an “urban trend” – what with frisking happening at all malls, stores, offices, etc. They now insist that future offenders should not be deplaned until all investigations are complete…

Happy new year...

Firstly, I wanna wish all of you a very happy new year.. and to all the pretty girls who couldn't be my date for an evening in 2009, I pray this year be more lucky for you...

I welcomed the new year with a party at home, with some family friends. Wine was flowing and I ate food, which was enough to have fed a small village in Somalia.. My stomach was full, and there was a sense of happiness creeping in that was hard to control. That day I learnt something... when you have gulped downed a dozen glasses of alcohol, the Michael Jackson in you awakens from his deep slumber, shaking his head violently blublublub.., and starts to dance... So, stomach full and my head feeling light as a bubble, I decided to turn up the volume and dance.

I know those who have seen me dance are scrolling to the end of this post looking for a video clip (and a good laugh!)... But it ain't there.. so hehehe... ha.. hum.. look its my blog.. I don't wanna get the treatment Elaine got for this.. (With people dancing like her whenever they see her)



All I can say is that people who have seen me dance don't find this video funny... Lets leave it at that..

My uncle was shaking a leg, but wearing a panicky face, kept a safe distance, as i kicked hard in the air.. like Ajmal Kasab was lying at my feet or something.. He didnt wanna risk his leg shaking for the rest of his life!

Some people usher in the new year in churches, others dancing romantically with their partners.. Some others hang out with friends.. All to set the tone for the year to come...
I however, have danced my way into Ripley's believe it or not.. Boy, 2010 is gonna be some year...
