Children of a lesser God?

-


Stripped of his clothes, his dignity, his humanity, he goes down to make our lives comfortable.

Makes you wonder if God created us, are people like him children of a lesser God?

When will this cruelty end?

    when sivaji got chevalier award from the French govt, that same time one tamil documentary film maker got an award for a short film on the undertaker of the hindu burial grounds and that he has to stay in the night with the burning body all alone and that it would it would wake up in the sense when it got stiffened and some unidentified bodies from accidents and unclaimed bodies from the general hospital several weeks old one would arrive and he had narrated abt his pitiable job.

    but that time i said when i grow up i will make a short movie on the people who go down into the sewer line and protest that no human beings are to be employed for this work as its dangerous coz of the highly toxic gases that are formed and abroad huge eqipments are used for such operations... grow up INDIA!

    This would stop, When You and I stop using polythene bags, stop trashing them in the drainage, when all of us stop using the drainage as a trash bin and use the trash bins properly. How many times have we used the litter box kept in public places properly? On our return from Si'pore or States or from any other foreign country we boast of their road cleanliness and we are made to adhere to their rules. Do we at least try to put the waste near the litter box? When we the so called educated learn and educate the not so educated on the hazards of all this...This would stop...

    @ Bee: Well said. I avoid plastic bags whenever possible. But the collective insensitivity of our people makes me hang my head in shame.

This was a crude translation of a proverb that comedian Karunas (as pointed out by Chriz ) made famous in one movie. The Tamil original runs thus, “Kazhutha ketta, kutti suvaru” so you have the translation. I heard that line somewhere and I wondered especially having heard the translation as to what could have been the origin of the proverb. Any ideas? PS: I Googled it and did find something.

Memories of PTC bus journeys!

MTC bus today! As I was turning into Haddows road today a MTC bus whizzed by nearly missing a few people on the road as is the norm. Just when I was about to curse the bus and its driver and everybody connected to it, my mind drifted back to the days gone by when I used to travel by these buses. The more my mind drifted, more instances that have been deeply etched in the confines of my memory came out like a mental slideshow. It is amazing how at the most unexpected moments lost thoughts surface and make even poor memory people like me feel good about us. Coming back to the post I thought I will put together a few memorable ones for the record. It was in the days of khaki shorts and white shirts, the old uniform of Dominic Savio Preparatory school (I’m told it has graduated to a matriculation now!) and its bigger sibling St. Bede’s Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School (100 years now, dear school of our hearts). School was a two stop bus ride from home if you got onto a white board bus ...

Teacher??????????

I remember being taught “matha, pitha, guru, deivam” or “mother, father, teacher, god” way back in school during my earliest Tamil classes. The order of priority may vary and I’m sure is an intensely personal issue, but the fact that parents and teacher are elevated above the Almighty shows the roles and responsibilities they have. However we have seen incidents that were probably going on for so long but now have been brought to the public eye by our innumerable media houses, incidents like beating, abuse, molestation, rape and other unspeakable abuses the children endure under the hands of teachers. Too often we see teachers committing crimes that deserve the strictest possible form of punishment and often getting away with it easily. Yesterday we saw a teacher in a girl’s school trapped in a sting operation by a Hindi news channel. Her crime (yes, it was a woman), drugging her students and making pornographic movies with them, later on using these movies to threaten ...
