Moronic Verses

Life is beautiful and it will remain as it is… as long as morons don’t end up with half-hearted feelings of ambiguity. Wondering and Pondering are two beautiful past-time of we Indians, i.e., at the end of the day we are in a deep hallucinated state of what we have done, what we are doing and what we will be doing. What-so-ever, we are proud to be an Indian at the 60th Milestone of Indian Independence, leaving enough space for few stray dogs to urinate on it.

“Yes Sir”, “No Sir” – The “Sir” is a word or something more than that… we use to show our gratitude to our elders and superiors. But, for me it’s nothing more than a Colonial Stigma, a blot which hasn’t left our mind since 1947. I simply wonder and ponder how many Indians had really been received a “Knighthood” from the Queen or is it a virus of our ambiguous minds.

In the traffic, on the road… even a rider on a LUNA or a driver on a BMW will try to overtake each other to symbolize their spirit “Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin!!!” but both the enthusiast doesn’t know the conditions of road on which they are zooming in. On the other hand, I am just out of words for the politicians, government authorities, mass-media people and many more... that follows the concept of “Indian Crabs”. All of them carved their own initials on the banyan tree of Indian Social System. All of them are highly incorporated within the lies and super-lies which eventually give us uncountable deception points, and if you ever try to connect these points – the end result will be an unimaginable 3D diagram on an unimaginable social space.

Have you ever questioned why Indians are good in IT?? Simple answer we are good in Pointers – (quite similar to the Pointers in C/ C++). If anything happens (read it as heavenly bad) the pointer systems takes it over and at the end you get an answer based on process was bad, but very few try to eliminate the bug within the system.

At the end of 60th year, all we can say India is now having a booming economy, booming lifestyle, going-to-be-boomed government (Indo-US Nuke 123 Crisis) and booming morons. Welcome to the era of “Indian Boomerang”, an era full of morons and their “Moronic Verses”.

I accept we have a strong colonial influence on us but one thing remains for sure there isn't any harm in the sir/ma'am system. I think the non availability of a good Hindi equivalent is the reason this system was never done away with. I am sure you wouldn't like calling the CEO of your company bhaisahab, or if the CEO is a female behenji.

Nice post. It is always good to see people expressing themselves in different ways.

Since you seem to be associated with Management, I would like to suggest you a new magazine - PEOPLE MATTERS started by an ISB Alumni, which was suggested to me by a friend and which I have found very useful.

It deals with various important aspects of management, especially those related to Leadership & People Management, which the mainstream business publications often ignore.

It's also relatively cheap. I guess its annual subscription is about Rs. 400 (US$ 8 approx) which is even less than the cost of a standard Pizza.

Their last issue had an enlightening article by Robert Kaplan (the co-founder of Balanced Scorecard method, if you remember) where he talks about how organisations can create opportunities out of current economic downturn.

I got its subscription online through their website: http://www.peoplematters.in

If you like the magazine, kindly refer it to your friends or colleagues in the organization you work. They may be interested in subscribing to it.

Thanks
