Like every Indian, I grew up listening to the stories of Ram, Lakshmana, Mahabharata, etc etc. But I don’t know what’s so great about hmm lets say Ram? If you go to 14 year vanvaas (exile to forest) just because your father promised it to someone blankly is sheer stupidity, NOT greatness. Why was the whole battle of Ramayana fought? For Sita, right? And in the end when Ram got Sita, what did he do? Just because he listened to some local countrymen talk about how she was impure, he left her. I mean, dafuq was that? I personally believe that Ravan was better person than that. We celebrate Dussehra every year by blowing hundreds of Ravan’s head all over the country and shouting “Buraai pe acchai ki jeet” Bullshit buraai. What makes Ravan bad? Just the fact that he liked Sita and he wanted revenge for his sister? Try and place yourself at his position. What he did was normal human behavior and it happens. But what was the whole point of battling for a person when in the end, leave her just because of some random people talking bullshit behind his back? That makes no sense and you don’t need to be some incarnation of God to see that. And Mahabharata? All I can say about it is ,Make love, not war :P. Pointless wars were the only thing in Mahabharata (Totally my opinion). And have you heard that story? The one where Arjun WON Draupadi and when returned with “Look what we got” their mother Kunti asked her son to share whatever it is with his brothers(Unintentionally) and they all “shared” her. Now, first thing, Winning a woman? This shows that we have always regarded women as trophy for brave men. A freaking material to play with. Ever heard of a woman winning a man in a dance competition or something? Such practices play a great role in pushing the society towards male dominance, not to mention hundreds of consequences like Sati, dowry etc etc. And sharing a woman for utterly the reason to obey mother’s command blindly is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Today also, many people do the jobs/work/study just to fulfill their parents dream. Either I am really idiotic or each of them is, because I just don’t buy it.
P.S. This was an
incomplete entry. Just needed to write it down. Will complete it soon.
*This is a short total random post.
Too many times I have been
there when adults discuss stuff like “In
baccho ko toh koi bhi festivals, get togethers, pooja, mandir--blah blah-- ka
shauk nahi” And everytime I hear them say that, I feel like writing. Its no use
to argue with adults, because it ultimately ends up with a slight note of “Kyuki
mai bada/badi hu”

And Krishna? Our parents celebrate
his raasleelas over and over with millions of gopiyas, but mai karu toh saala
character dhilla?
