the 'i'm back' post

for starters, gotta get this off my chest- the word association thingie was to test the following hypothesis:

Ho=XXXians are hypocritical wanks

based on the results, I have come to the following conclusion, which may in future be validated by means of a slightly more evolved psychometric test:

XXXians are too superficial to realise that they're hypocritical.

talk about taking controversial positions. I'm glad nobody reads this damn thing. anyhoo, here's my justification for it. Analysis of self is a concept that is alien to the average XXXian and that self often hides a two headed beast. perhaps it is a reflection of what it means to be in a society that is evolving on several different tangents due to its much celebrated diversity. tradition and modernity. religious morality and corruption. power and humility. cosmopolitanism and the virgin bride. We want it all. And that is the reason for our troubles. It would be far easier to pick one destination and go where the road takes us instead of worrying that the journey is the reward. There'd be far fewer gleeful shrinks if there was more simplicity in the way we lead our lives. We'd be the masters of intellectual masturbation if masturbation wasn't such a societal boo boo. How does that relate to XXXians being superficial? Simple, we are learning to see what we want to, not what is. Not because we are unable to but because we choose not to. Perhaps we are now conditioned not to. but that's another issue altogether and better tackled when I have a longer break from work. Not a single XXXian can deny that his pride in being from XXX takes full cognizance of the fact that we still have one of the largest impoverished masses of people in the world. 220 mil last count. we know it. and yet we don't. we see it. and yet we don't. we feel it. and yet we don't. coz that's what we do best. ignorance is bliss. and ignorance is blessed.

uh oh.

I just realised that I just proved that Indians are superficial because they're moving away from hypocrisy to plain, simple cynicism and callousness. It's a virtue to play the game the way it wasn't meant to be played. And that's the way to get a move on for XXX.

Oh well, it was written in the stars.
