Insecure Indian Females
I read Suku's blog today, I was drunk on my own fecundity to come up with goofy shit then. My moronic comment on her post notwithstanding, I have something more to say. Since Suku turned down my request to post another comment on her blog, lest I drool again, I decided to write about it here. Haha, she'll be hopping mad when she sees this. {Actually, Suku did no such thing, and hopefully she will not be cross.}
Let's take Rohan. He is in "love" with Rohini, has made up his mind to make a serious commitment to her. Now how does he go about it?
Case A - Chances are that Rohini has an idea how he feels, and she might or might not be receptive. If she is, then she might show some behavioural changes that would make Rohan's job of declaration a lot easier. If she is not, her behaviour would change accordingly. If Rohan reads her right, he will realise that she is not interested, and then might give up or engage in other measures. This approach is usually used by the more emotionally evolved people.
Case B - Rohini has little idea how Rohan feels, so Rohan sits down with her and they have a discussion where they discuss the possibility of having a relationship. Maybe it does not include powerpoint presentations or a slideshow, but at any rate, it is more than just a few words. This is usually how more intellectually evolved people would handle it.
Case C - Since most people are both emotionally and intelligently evolved, the most common case is a mixture of the two approaches. But at any case, the declaration of long-term affection is hardly ever a phrase.
Case D - This is the filmy case where affection is literally thrusted down the female's throat. Where the male says the phrase in question as many times as humanly possible and engages in ape-like bravado while making unrealistic promises of sacrifice that would put most politicians to shame. As you may have realised, this case has simply been added to provide comic relief.
NTU geeks refer to Case D as a DoS attack. Surprisingly, this filmy method has proven increasingly effective with NTU females, which shows the sorry state of emotional security that indian females in NTU live in.

When I read the link, "Bright future for black astronauts", I was like, black man don't wanna go into space, black man wanna get a decent job and a house first. I mean, talking as if hundreds and thousands of space opportunities were going to be opened up for black people to take advantage of is ludicrous.
And anyway, at the risk of being Carlinesque, I will say that it seems that only people who are openly white but just happen to be black make it to the top in the U.S.A. I believe that is the case why black people tend to associate more with O.J. Simpson, Jordan and James Brown rather than with Tiger Woods. We saw this episode where Chris Rock goes into Harlem and asks around if people know Tiger Woods, and people are like, Tiger who?
Maybe it is wrong to give poor people living in ghettoes heroes like Tiger Woods or Michael Robinson whom they cannot even begin to emulate. The reason why Pele and Rivaldo are heroes for millions of ghetto kids is because they took something as simple and cheap as a football and made it their destiny. Pele played with rags, Rivaldo played barefoot. These children emulate these heroes. Can they emulate Tiger Woods or Michael Anderson when their father knows he cannot afford to send them to a good high school even?
But Anderson's sister Joanne made a point that registered with me.
"The United States of America has many, many problems -- racism is one of them," she said, "but only in America could he have achieved what he did achieve."

Ok, Kalpana Chawla is dead. There will be others to take her place. The Indians should let it slide already. I mean, that's what you get for snubbing Pakis that one of yours went into the void before one of theirs. Leave her bereaved family alone. Don't fucking DoS her home and harrass her already saddened brother.
To Fox News, FUCK YOU! Also CNN. Did you read her brief on CNN? Bastards had to mention that she fucked up on the last mission. They talked about the hometowns of all the people, even the Israeli who isn't an American citizen, but wait a minute, no mention of Chawla's hometown in the USA or India. All that's mentioned is that she came to the USA to design planes but ended up going to space, where she fucked up with a satellite going awry. Maybe she SHOULD have stayed on ground and designed better shuttles, eh? Keep the immigrants out of the limelight and behind the scenes, eh?
Well, now that I feel a little better, has anyone wondered why we humans are so exuberant when there is a holiday? It's Chinese New Year here, and Gong Xi to all you Chinese people out there, but whats wrong with some people living in my block? It's CNY, not EOW [End of the World] Today I went to make some Maggi and watch Simpsons and the whole place was trashed. I mean trashed. Wait a minute. It's your new year. You get a four day holiday for it. Go, run to Chinatown and make merry. So many of my friends are doing the same. But no, some blokes wanna get drunk and then wanna make some food in that state, and then have a fucking food fight in the pantry. Hell awaits, mark my words.
On the lighter side, the photonic ramblings have taken a new twist. And since I SUCK at Hindi and proudly so, I put this in the public domain. Photon muttered something like
"Hathnii ke do pair Haathii ke do pairon se bad'e hote hain" {The two legs of a cow-elephant are larger than those of a bull-elephant}
Cypher nodded and said that he had heard about this saying somewhere. At that time Photon was too dazed or too embarrassed to confess, but after one day, the guilt of it nibbled at his heart. So Photon burst into the room, crying, confessing, pleading for forgiveness, that there was no such saying, that he had made it all up. We all forgave him and all, being the nice gentlemen we are, but Cypher still stuck his ground, maintaining that he had indeed heard the saying somewhere. Now, though Photon and Bahri said that they in their life had never heard of such a saying, and though the testimony of Mave and I was shadowy, us being Mumbaikars and all, neither had we. So, is there such a saying? And what the hell does it mean?
Addendum
India Today magazine reported that NASA had absolved Chawla, rating her a "terrific astronaut," and saying the accident had resulted from a series of small errors. Good work India Today.
Some additions from people:
..::Andrea
I watched this happening early this morning and then into the midday ... the astronaut profiles from AP, Yahoo and the networks kept on pointing out the mistake that happened on the her first trip. It began to grate on my nerves.

Bink
Being an African American, why does it suprise you that the news mentioned her mistake? She's a minority. It shouldn't be any suprise. Maybe as African Americans we expect negative feedback based on future and present tense examples.
::..
On reading Bink's response, I was tickled pink. Chris Rock once said that there's nothing more scary than "poor white people", especially as they'll blame "niggers" for everything. "Space shuttle blew up? Those damn niggers, that's what it was!" Listen to this.
In the meanwhile, the Iraqis are mighty pleased that the bird blew up, the bastards. Retribution is all fine, but you don't gloat over a dead enemy, just not gentlemanly, eh?
