Generation Next?

I probably will let my imagination go berserk on this one. It may stink of stereotyping, generalization and gross assumption. I may be wrong but what the heck. It is the only way to keep the neurons firing away and keeping senility at bay. Talking about senility and selective amnesia at will, we have seen many around us guilty by the first degree on this charge!
Just the other day, I saw a lassy pushing a deep pram like contraption with three thorough bred puppies sticking their heads looking at passers by. The lassy,  in her mid 20s, in a well confident poise, brimming with self confidence with her equal well sculptured gymnasium time spent thighs and legs and hot pants, stiletto to accentuate her bragging rights and tops leaving little imagination of the modesty that it was meant to cover which was nothing to feel outraged about anyway, was trying to get her 'babies' into her car with her partner. The partner, probably not witnessed by fire, tea ceremony, cross or people sanctioned ceremony but by mutual consent was finding get great pleasure in gently making the animals comfortably at home in the car. Partner? Yeah, they look too cosy, touchy and civilised to be married!
Welcome to Generation Next! The generation who believe that they make the centre of the universe. Living for them by their way is their right. They would do any which way they choose but loose! Societal and theological regulations are good movie scripts and Aesop's toddler bedtime stories. It is their life and they choose the way they want to live it.
Children? Nah, they have bigger things on their plates than things that bog them down, like career advancements and seeing the whole world before they die.
Carnal indulgence? Please! Don't ask the obvious. There is a reason why they call it carnival (carnal festival?) and that they discovered contraception and sex education, to empower women and to ensure that all conceptions are received with open arms. Anyway, sex education is not wasted on them. Whenever they are afflicted with a sexually transmitted infection, they make it their God sent decree to impose upon themselves to contact their ex'es which ever corner of the world they may be so that all those in their wide web of sexual footprint are treated. That much they owe it upon themselves as social responsibility.
Role models? Kim Kardashian (who wants to elope with Kanye West) and socialite Paris Hilton who uses her giant sized handbag and puny sized lap dog chihuahua as ornamental accessories to complete her appearance!
Of course my sweeping statements above may be utterly out of context and wrong on all accounts. After all it is just an observational study that does not hold any water...

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
