The Edge Of Reason

You Can Never Tell Which Way The Train Went By Looking At The Rails





If Looks Could Kill!

I was shopping at Lifestyle this weekend,when I noticed two exceptionally pretty girls witha bunch of forms in their hands asking everyone something,initially I thought it was some survey.Whatever it was my typical male impulse started pecking my brain with gibberish like "Why aren't they coming to me?" "Ah! the other girl jus threw me a glance" and all the wierdest things one could think off...I shifted my attention from things on the rack to the more pretty things curently ruling the floor of the mall.My sis went to the trail room it was right then that i heard the sweetest voice that I'd heared in almost an yrs time.I said excuse me,standing right behind me were these angels.I was staring right into their eyes as one of 'em started explaining that it was regarding some 7K run and that they were from St.Francis College and that the money collected would go for charity...blah...blah...blah...I was so busy admiring her beauty that I didnot know when she said it is just Rs.100/- for registration Sir.I straight away pulled a crisp Rs.100 note from my wallet and gave her(that was the last piece of currency in my wallet for the month).By the time she left I realised that I had just given her the money I had,now...giving away a 100 bucks for charity is nothing,I usually give away much more than that every month,but what actually bothered me was that I gave it away jus because she was so "Godamn Pretty!"(that is the most polite I can sound!well...there are actually some better words in English).Then when I started to think about it I realised that it was just because of that they were there.The quite intelligently targetted all the guys,generally those waiting outsde the trail rooms,tried their hands with some girls also but that cut no ice.Am not saying that I've been duped or 'bakra'ed but that how pretty girls have their way.

Rich North South Divide Part I

Monday, June 08, 2009
You listen to a conversation at an Engineering college canteen,you are bound to hears phrases such as,"Dude!She's a northie!" or "Muh dekhkar hi pata chal raha hai,Southie hai" or "In South waalo ka problem kya hai?" and stuff like that even on the BB you come across posts such as "Accomodation Available,preferably North Indians"What is it that divides the North Indians from the South Indians , from each other is more like it?I have been trying to dig into this for quite sometime now.There are many axioms that do their rounds in India.One of the most famous fads you would hear would be that girls from north are prettier and dress better than their counterparts froms the southern peninsula.South Indians are better in mathematics than the 'northies','Northies' are more extrovert and outgoing than people from the south,'South Indians' are not as good in business as the 'northies' but 'south indians' rule the service sector(Software, more so). There are a few fads many of which are ironically true.Reasons? I don't know,it is not just my personal experience but you can always do an analysis and extrapolate the results.I've tried to bust a few of these fads.
History:North India has been ravaged by scores of invaders,as a result they were exposed to many different cultures.You would find smaller traces of their indigenous cultures,not that there are not any but compare it to South Indian cultures,these people have been far more rigid and orthodox in their approach since the rulers also in this part have been majorily Indians but for a few like the Nizams ofcourse.
Modern History:Of all the freedom fighters we know the freedom struggle was not that active in the south.South India had its share of contributions but was lesser than what we had from the north.So,the share of south indians in the first cabinet was also less.It was not until parties like the NTR led TDP and the DMK and all that the people at the center started taking the south indians seriously.So came the myth that south indians are not that active/extrovert/outgoing and are a bit taciturn in nature.Which to an extent is true.e.g. South Indian shaadis don't have baraat,sangeet and all and stuff like that.
Geography:The fact that the northern part of India shares its borders with as many as seven countries but there's no foreign country near our southern part but for our near neighbor Sri Lanka,which is not that different from us wrt culture.So,south indian families and traditions are more orthodox and there is lesser quotient of cultural diversity,they are not that comforatble with people from other cultures and their eating habits.
Gastronomy:Again the same problem,people in south india are comfortable with south indian food,people from north india cannot even stand south indian food.But this would not be a divide as such it is just the diversity of cultures we are proud of.
