Warped morality, you say?

You contract something that smells like a sexually acquired communicable disease. You get it treated by your trustworthy friendly doctor, and you get back into the hype of things. As a responsible modern meterosexual individual, what is expected of you?

Your moral conscious would bug you to rummage through your old faithful little black book to sieve through the contact your ex-es to inform them of your predicament and advise them to sort out the issue. Perhaps they had caught a bug or two during the good old days, they way we were! Sometimes, your duty does not end there, but you may be needed to arrange an appointment with your doctor and even accompany her to such a visit.

Imagine the awkward scenario where you accompany your ex into the doctor's consultation room, and you feel like a fly on the wall whilst the doctor rattles off enquiring about your ex's recent extra-curricular activities, and he is not talking about her training for next half marathon! Sometimes, you have the urge to immerse yourself into the mirage world of your smartphone but social etiquette intervenes.

Hey, the modern man would say that is how a modern man should behave. He has to take responsibility for his actions and is his moral duty to inform the receiving party of possible exposure to something sinister. Moral duty you say but is it morally right to leave a part of you all over the place akin to a member of the canine species marking his territory? Morality, my foot!

    Morals change with time. Just like the fashion sense, what is accepted as fashionable is acceptable as acceptable morals. If the majority believes that nonchalant union is just as the name says nonchalant and casual, that is it. As the reasons in support of morals are intangible, the more intangible are the support for the oppose.

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 ...
