നമ്മൾ സഹിക്കുന്ന വികൃതികൾ ... എട്ട്

 സ്വിസ് പൗരൻ ബൌദിനെ അറസ്റ്റു ചെയ്തത് ശരി ആയില്ലെന്ന് കോടതി. ഓർമയില്ലേ ഒരു മീറ്റിങ്ങ് നോക്കി നിന്നതിന് സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം പഠിക്കാൻ വന്നതാനെന്നോ മറ്റോ പറഞ്ഞതിന് അറസ്റ്റു ചെയ്തു
കസ്ടടിയിൽ വച്ചു്.....

നിർഭാഗ്യകരം എന്ന് കൂടി കോടതി പറഞ്ഞു . പക്ഷെ അത് മതിയോ ?

കുറ്റമാണെങ്കിൽ ശിക്ഷ വേണ്ടേ ? ആരാണ് കുറ്റക്കാർ എന്നെങ്കിലും അറിയാനുള്ള അവകാശം നമുക്കില്ലേ ?

നമ്പി നാരായണന്റെ കഥ മറക്കാൻ സമയമായില്ലല്ലോ.
അടുത്ത എപ്പിസോടിനു മുന്പുള്ള ഈ commercial break ഇൽ നമ്മൾ എന്തെങ്കിലും ചെയ്യേണ്ടേ ?

ആര് പറഞ്ഞിട്ടാ എന്ത് കുറ്റത്തിനാ എന്ത് ദേശദ്രോഹം പേടിച്ചിട്ടാ അറസ്റ്റു ചെയ്തതെന്ന് ആരെങ്കിലും ചോദിക്കേണ്ടേ ?  വെറുതെ ഖേദിച്ചാൽ മതിയോ എന്ന് ആരെങ്കിലും .....

god is a gamer ... review

  blogadda   book review

      GOD  IS  A  GAMER

   by    Ravi  Subramanian


the best part is the climax. the fbi and the cbi
sit together and tie the knots in the long
rope to hang tanya, with professional handouts
from her lover varun. the team  replays the full
story with cuts and pastes and highlights
on the corner incidents. when the audience ,
accepting the moral inevitability of tanya
paying for her sins  gets up to move out,
the screen lights up again.

and that is a beauty. the epilogue tells us how we
have all been taken for the ride by varun the real
villain. all the characters are called back and
re examined. their contracts with varun are re read.
when they march out taking their wages in bitcoins to
play the video game mafia don we are back in the dark
in the real world where varuns roam  scotfree and tanyas
go to the gallows to appease the authorities. it is a
logical entailment that if a crime is committed then
someone should be punished.

the one reason for this book probably getting into the
best seller list is the ingenuity of varun. i have a
feeling that it is varun who thought up the whole story
and forced the author to write this book.

coming to the other highlights of the book, it is malavika's
murder that stands out as the best sub plot. with lower  limbs
turning rigid due to the effects of hemlock seeds which kill
by progressively paralysing body parts starting from the limbs
as it did to socrates 2500 years ago malavika stumbles over
the low parapet and falls to her death. even forensics
confirm suicide as hemlock poison does not turn up in such
examinations unless it is specifically tested for.

in contrast senator gillian's death is a tardy plot. and the
atm heist which takes up a large portion of the book is rather
overblown. computers all over the world blowing up due to
excess heat generated by continuous bitcoin mining which they
are bugged over the internet to do is also an example of
imagination gone wild and out of context.

as the title suggests gaming is the soul of the book. the details
are vivid and the lure is difficult to ignore. yet i did not turn
a gamer becoz though god is a gamer, he probably plays dice more
often. and in the latest throw he has probably assigned bitcoins
to me. i have already opened a vallet with blockchain.info .
if any of you feel like transferring a few bits ( it is one
millionth of a bitcoin current value of which is around 24,000
indian rupees ) to my wallet to help me continue this madness,
here is the address
        1H5wmFNQmW477j96B1kLxPYLAwy5kBHS16

before signing off, a few bad words to ward off the curse of
the soothsayer. the language though english is typically indian
which many natives may mistake for greek if not spanish. and a
good word to smooth the itch. sex scenes are sober and a welcome
change.

the final word.  an enchanting thriller for the new generation.
may be this book will take you out of the  video game addiction.
not by disgracing the game. but by offering better entertainment.
much better and less addictive for sure.

language is a beauty

language is a beauty. english is the queen.
the queen is english.

we call simple straight forward selfishness by
the name fundamentalism. we admire dirty cruelty
calling it fascism. we accept killers' psychology
by naming it terrorism.

ism is the in thing. we grant respectability to
anything by suffixing ism to it. extremism survives
becoz of its ism tag.

it is ok to play with words if the time is right.
but we started off when not much of it was left.
with a tweet on the shooting incident in kashmir.
when the army shot the car which did not stop
at a check post and killed two teenagers.

my friend tweeted 'had they been terrorists...'
i replied 'do not use this had been clause carelessly.
becoz the they could be you or me'. he retorted
'if you move carelessly in a sensitive area , you
run the risk ...'. i said 'you make the area where
they are destined to live sensitive and expect them
to love your shooting skill...'. he said 'people
deliberately cross the bullets' path and then
claim sympathy.'

i said 'this is a dangerous bend. drive
cautiously. becoz the very same words could be
borrowed by every speeding bullet and any
piercing knife.' he is yet to respond.

but i have decided to quit. i prefer to die
if kill is the only other option.

terrorism is an ism too. like counter
terrorism. and that probably is the schism
which we , they and us , refuse to address.

language is a beauty. the queen may be english.
but the king should be an indian. that is someone
from the indian subcontinent. a continent himself.

the kiss miss kiss enigma

kiss the miss or miss the kiss ? a difficult choice.
if you are at marine drive on the evening of nov 2nd.
never mind whether you are in front on the stage or 
at the back among the audience. or in front of the
t v  in your drawing room. it is time to take the call
and cast your vote. NOTA excluded.

kiss and her cousins were private property so far.
hidden behind closed lips. held close to the heart
by arms crossed shoulder to shoulder. away from prying
eyes and clicking cameras, except, may be, the hidden
 webcams.

not any more. kiss is now in the public domain.in
hotels.on face book. and now in a sponsored programme.
at the marine drive ernakulam in the evening on
sunday the 2nd of november 2014. for all to see
and judge. and all of us are invited by default.

the current wave took roll when  moral police
vandalised a coffee shop in kozhikode. for allowing
consenting adults to give and take a few kisses
while people watched sipping coffee. self appointed
morality enforcers felt the country should have a moral
code. which should be imposed by any means including
violent interventions. 

coffee enthusiasts took offense. how come a coffee den
is pulled down this easily.intellectuals took up the issue.
what will happen to tea shops and beer parlours tomorrow ?
the common man got involved. they wondered if it is the
first lesson of an intensive course on fascism.

and the campaign went viral. face book groups decided to
defy the morality mughals . with a hundred kisses in the
open. at marine drive. rest assured that none can pull
down the marine drive that easily.

decency fanatics are not keeping quiet . hell bent on
clearing this land of all indecencies real or imagined,
they are planning counter offensive. the stage is set.

and you and me have to take sides and make choices.
kiss the miss or miss the kiss . not an easy task.
but i have made up my mind becoz i got wind of the
real issue.

 the crux of the problem is not the urge for indecent exposure
but  the inability to control the craze to look for it.
 which is an indication of our stunted mental development.

so i am for your freedom to kiss and show public display of
affection wherever and whenever as long as i have my
freedom to look sideways and ignore the show.
