A upper lip...stiff one at that?

In his 1877 "Confession of Faith", Rhodes stated, "I contend that we (the British) are the finest race in the world; and that the more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race".

Section 294

Watching Opernation Majnu on NDTV aroused indignation of similar kind which I presumed must have been so with any other liberal modern citizen of shining India.The Argumentative Indian here might have differences over what might or could have been ''modern shining India'but that would have to be dealt some other day.

For now, my issue is with the responses that i have been receiving from many of my colleagues and my close friends.The violence witnessed (slap slap slap slap,kick kick slap pull-hair slap slap!!) was condemned (thankfully)and concluded with a high-brow view that moral-depravity has been on the increase of late.The police have taken cover behind Section 294 [Whoever, to the annoyance of other, does any obscene act in any public place ... shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine, or with both]for this absurd Taliban-like behaviour.The police living upto their cliched stance of being ignorant,corrupt and ruthless has not suprised me,however what does my head in ,is the stance of the public in acknowledging a a mean need to train/teach/educate/ youngsters on culture n tradition.

WHO DECIDES WHAT IS OBSCENE?>society??who decides these are the dust laden principles that one has to abide to earn the right to live in such societies?

perception

''Perception is the process of acquiring, interpreting, selecting, and organizing sensory information.''

Now thats like eating khubz arabi under parched condition....

What to my simpleton mind occurs is that our day-to-day activities have been unconciously thought out and visually imagined to the minutest details.Long b4 i got to work i had imagined my workplace and then unconciously set to turn the imaginary into real! We do it THAT way coz we had imagined it was So.....If ever there appears a time when u r blamed for behavioural attributes, mind not coz its perception......

Talking about it truthfully (as one always has the luxury to resort to such, when it doesnt concern the present)i was given to fit of pareidolia (somethin i came across n understood recently)a few years before during my stint in residential school.The stimulus to this paranoia stemmed from my mindless drawing which later took form of a devilish cow !!(dont ask me why....cow it was)and so what happened in plain english was i got scared of the mindless scribble on my pad which took imaginary forms in my head.I didnt sleep that week imagining exorcist n poltergiest combination wrecking havoc with my peaceful sleep.......they seemed faraway and inconsequential until i read that it could throw light on the mental state of human being....
