My Amoebic dysentry

The other day I was fighting shaolin warriors on the PSP when a boy of about 12 (yeah molestable) like the many who're busy geting lost in Landmark Store struggled to work up the game Yuvraj singh 2006 on the X-box 360. I'm not much into sports gaming myself, besides Brazilian ring football, that one is short and sweet I aways feel like i'm in those ads with Ronaldo. I showed him the controls and the rest he'd pick it up himself and ade a general conversatin that not many people want to play 'that' game anymore. The kid read my mind somewhere and said
"I guess we are overreacting to the world cup loss. We over react at everything."

"Nah, we're just being ourselves." I comforted him.

He took his favourite player Dhoni and hit couple of sixes with difficulty. It got smoother later with Yuvraj singh, but the team lost the match. He luaghed at himself and started the game all over again.

"It's the same feeling kids go through when they walk home after they've scored low marks or flunked. They get suicidal thinking about the parental reaction." he continued playing.

It's funny that we hear the most unlikliest things from the unlikliest mouths.

I don't think our reactions has anything to do with our overemotinoal nature or media's Mr Hyde-like sensationalist conquering alter ego. I think it's the heat. Humidity brings the most irrittable side out of us. If you examine peripherally the worldcup loss and the temperature hike besides the humidity hike happened around the same time. In such a situation a government like ours is likely to get bored and frustrated so from their inability to do anything constructive they embark on a stupid rampage of banning sex education ("Kids get educated from our home made family films by the Bhatts and the Chopras!") in schools and re-employing a lot of drunken cops to chase away a lot of couples. Because they think lying in each others arms and enjoying the sunset is a lot less decent than spitting and peeing on the road. I heard a man mumble "Just when I thought I should spend more time with my wife than at Kamathipura, these guys drive me back to routine."

Meanwhile ...

Cho seung was a very quiet and quite pissed off chap. I guees everyone who was watching American Idol was. There's nothing more irritating than watching an irritating singer hog headlines by staying on a paultry reality musicalTalent (ugh!) show. Mr Malakkar or any other Maharashtrian would hog headlines in Mumbai even if they've cleaned public toilets in Detroit with their barehands in record time. They'd be crowned 'Commode-us'.

So Cho seung unlike the ones who went on a fast, went to the grocery store and got eggs besides a handgun. Alas he didn't know the torture would end three days later when Malakar would get voted off. So he blew it.

If we had a lesser threshold of tolerance towards mediocrity there would have been a thousand Cho incidents when a nasal singer's movie went to the Berlin film festival besides his HIT songs.

As critics speculate on the U.S gun policy and try blaming video games for the 17985th time besides Oliver Stone or Gus Vant Sant making a film on High School Dementia, Cho's rage rests within him and the tape and in the bullets he fired.

The heat however is working its way up1 ouy of 4 people suffer from Amoebic dysentry and they don't know it till their loo becomes their bedroom.The heat will make us rape, or beat the shit out of, kids and women. It will make directors make movies like Shaka laka boom boom, it'll drive reporters to hang from cable wires suspended from choppers and catch Big B remove his wig or Small B gift wrap Umrao Jaan for wedding crashers. It'll make random women to follow news agencies advises on slashing wrists outside someone's wedding.

They got married, KBC ended, our power cut begins, Tushar, Bobby, sunny and upen will continue to waste their time acting. Rakhi will become Ramu's new protege (easy casting for horror flicks) if not MF hussain's muse for Maa Kali goddess .

I won't go to the doc for my dysentry problem which makes me write like this. Neither will any of you who'll digest all of this when you normally wouldn't.
