EXTRAPOLATE: experimental satire

Testament:

Kittie did not like the cloned meat. She preferred the freshly culled ones...as one would say in flesh and blood. A day before Thanksgiving , she wished and said,"This is to all that I have ever eaten... Let's make it a bit different this year, cull me, eat me and make your year."[sic] Kittie was not the KFC turkey. She had become a little sensitive human then. And the people granted her wish. With this sacrifice, she buried all the sins of her people and of her's.

Back to Basics:

Gudakez wanted his abdomen to be like Cadbury Diary Milk Chocolate slab (the product in its ever maturity), He thought,"Why eat and gym when I can work and earn?" He got rid of those machines on his big field as well the ones in his house. Thus, a self made man- HE MAN!

Exotic Holiday Spot Offer (After a few centuries)

One Mx. Sweetrina, in her tweetrica mentioned: Visit heaven for a pleasure, meet God of your choice. Discount of up to 25% for citizens of age 80 and above. Capitalism with a difference as well as reverence. Of course, Opulence too!

Fawning Brahmin Historians (After a few centuries)

Ninu just completed the reading of the epic by R. Oza of her favourite God - Ambani...The epic asserts that he was an Avatar of the Lord himself. He saved millions and perhaps performed some magic too! Yesteryear Kshatriya (warrior caste) Kings are today's Gods and today's Capitalist Baniya Kings would be tomorrow's Gods.

Are you a Liberal?

'Liberal' has become a taboo these days. And the victim other than the so-called  opposition ‘liberal’parties, sadly, is Ms.Sagarika Ghose who recently authored 'Why I am a Liberal?'. Bad timing for a handsome pay cheque! As a believer of Libertarian Socialism, it is a matter of defense to state and uphold what I believe in. Being a liberal isn't a bad idea provided you practise what you preach. For me, the idea of liberty is a state of freedom to pursue your choices without any restraint, till your freedom does not affect the freedom of others.  The growth of these liberals may be traced as a reactionary attitude to the patriarchal norms and conservatism of the Indian society. Liberalism grew as a fashion in sync with westernization but not necessarily modernisation. Only a few liberals could manage to understand the difference between westernisation and modernisation and unfortuantely, they hardly came forth or were prevented. When the hardliners of the ...

Deconstructing the Kerala Story

-
Image
Source: Google Images    Religion takes a back seat when it comes to ethnicity and culture for a  Malayali  ( Kerala )Hindu . The syncretic culture , a source of  malayali  pride,  is an amalgamation of various religious traditions accepted and accommodated by  Ma layali Hindus over the centuries.  Unlike a segregation based on religion, the Malayalam  language ,  Kerala   cuisine,  A ttire,    etc. coalesce to find  a common brotherhood  among  Malayalis  as an ethnicity .  A  Hindu  Malayali  is a distinct subspecies of his Hindu  brethren  from the rest of I ndia.  He/She  has more in common with fellow  Malayali  Christian/ Muslim  than  his/her north  indian  counterparts. The movie ‘The Kerala Story’ depicts an on going narrative based on the veil of thi s  syncretic culture. It juxtaposes the scenic beauty of Ker...

Idol, Idol everywhere. But, where is Rama?

Marugela chara achara rupa! Marugela chara achararupa parat para soorya sudhaakara lochana.... Marugelara..Marugelara O! Raghava... The great saint and one of the trinities of Carnatic Music, Sri Tyagaraja composed many Bhakti Kirtanm (Devotional songs) dedicated to Lord Rama of Ayodhya ( supposedly, his favorite God). Marugelara O! Raghava, Endaro Mahanubhavulu and  Nagumomu ganaleni are a few of my favorites. After listening to these songs, over a dozen times, at times of utmost pain and mental turbulence, I take this forum to interpret that Sri Tyagaraja composed it not for Lord Rama but for those men who inspired him with Lord Ram like qualities. Endaro Mahanubhavulu- praising those worldly men of  God like qualities by the American Bhagawathar  Jon B. Higgins  These kirtans are my saviour in this time of spiritual deterioration, where people value symbolism over abstract virtues, and seek selfish benefits in the mask of love and care. Indeed...
