Pink chaddis and pub going 'loose' women

Here's an ingenius and satirical reply to Sri Ram Sene's moral policing. Started on the Facebook by Nisha Susan of Bangalore, the response has been so immense all across the country that its become the media's latest news. You can join the group even if you are a male and have no pink chaddis in your wardrobe. Buy some as large as the Sene's political policies and drop it at the collection centres by Feb 11th (Delhi & Mumbai) and 12th(Bangalore).

Judging by the response, if Sri Ram Sene's political aspirations fail, then can always open a lingerie store - thanks to 'pub going loose' women with a sense of humour.

People just want cheap thrills!

It was during an usual 'blame the politicians' conversation at breakfast, when my FIL made this remark. We were discussing about the recent antics of our home grown character, famous overnight and with Shiv Sena kinda politics - Muthalik. After beating up young girls in a pub, his next claim to fame is a threat to all young lovers on the Valentine's day.

Though, I didn't initially want to write about him, my FIL's remark made me think. Do people really want the 'shock and awe' kind of news. Does cheap thrills really excite us? Considering the viewership of Saas Bahu serials - where the young girl is subjected to all kinds of barbs, plots and et all - my guess is we do.

Just think of the news footage by all news channels on the 'pub incident' and its film coverage - my guess is we love such shocks. And those who don't, well they have no choice, with our kind of loud mouthed extremely insensitive media. So men like Raj Thakeray and Muthalik continue to rise. Jai Ho.
