And there she goes....

The wedding bells finally ring for the tennis ace Sania Mirza, the glamour girl from Hyderabad, loved more for other things than her tennis playing abilities. Many must be upset and many would love to beat Mr. Malik who is taking this darling of ours away from us. It was class XI for me that I was infactuated, yeah, in fact infactuated towards Sania, it was her ability to play tennis which helped me identify her and it was she who dragged me infront of my television set and watch the Tennis game out there. Knowing nothing about the game, I watched the game till she was there, though I learnt a few things about the game but there were many other things to watch when she played and I am no exception to it. I would like to thank Sania from the core of my heart for bringing me first time into live politics of this country, it was her mini skirt row and the fatwa issued against her that led me to read news paper daily and follow all recent developments, it was at that time I condemned those Muslim authorities and in the course I came to know about the Salman Rushdie case; Sorry Salman I didn't feel the same for you.... And then when I came to college it was Sania's beautiful wallpapers that adored a no. of desktops, this offered me a reason to rome about all rooms to gather those wall papers in my pen drive. It was Sania's premarital sex statement that helped me know what premarial sex is... thanks again Sania... But for you I would have been still in an intellectual void.
As I have a habit to suggest amendments on every issue that comes on my table, this wedding too brings a number of issues in my brain. The morning pledge that we take should be rewritten or a few words should be omitted. Persons like Sania take the line " All Indians are my brother and sister" very seriously, may be because they are not as clever as I am to omit the whole line itself and to speak just a jumble of words if the teacher is standing beside..... I Will miss you Sania...but I swear on the infactuation I had on you that I will try my best to get Indian Pledge amended so that our future generations don't suffer, so that my son has tennis stars to choose :P

Grow up India!!!

A gay professor Mr. Sriniwas Ramchandra Siras was found dead in his room in Aligarh. This was the news in most of the Hindi and English dailies across India. As far as I guess, most of those who read newspaper must have read this news, even those who just turn the pages of news paper, go through this kind of news, the reason being that the word “Gay” tickles them. In the 21st century, it’s still a taboo among general Indian community to even speak of Gays or Lesbians, huh leave out having a different sexual orientation.
The country which gave the world most elicit books on Sex and Love, Kama sutra being the world famous, the country where architecture on temples and palaces portrays various sex positions and different sexual orientation be it Khajurao temples or even the most sacred Jagganath temple of Puri, suffers from mean mindedness on these issues.
I just feel when shall we grow up? I am not telling to move on the path of the West but shouldn’t we atleast be Indians in true sense who have had an open flare for approximately everything under the universe, we have had Gays and lesbians characters even in the most respected and Holy epics like Mahabhartha. Leave girls even boys feel uncomfortable discussing these things, even in close room discussions. You ask someone about his or her sexual orientation or what he or she thinks about sex and it seems you have done the biggest mistake of your life. If at all you have unnatural sexual orientation, you will be deserted as soon as the world knows about it. The worse part of the game is that the youngsters of India about whom our nation boasts of, are involved in these mean activities, as in the case of Prof Siras, it was AMU students who recorded his relationships through a secret camera and later demanded action against him. Though the Court took the right stand by staying the decision of AMU Board but the question remains, Till when do we need courts to solve such issues, when shall we grow up and above all these???
