More to Fill in my tiny head!!

Long long ago, when the world Co2 emissions were a lot lesser and when scientists just discovered the Ozone hole in the atmosphere, I was in school..
With school came exams, and with exams, the exam mantra! While my friends had their own copyrighted mantras, mine was something that was drilled into me by my relatives and parents. It went something like "Oooommm Study now and get into a nice college and ur life is made namaha"!
I stuck to that mantra through thick and thin! Numerous episodes of duck tales and mickey mouse were sacrificed using the power of this mantra. My faith on the mantra was as strong as Lindsay Lohan's addiction to.. er.. "Party Juices"...
Now as the years progressed, the mantra made small changes.. From Get into a nice college it became get into a nice engineering college and ur life is made.. it further evolved to get into a nice company and ur life is made..
Needless to say.. my "hardly" studying just before the exams and the divine help from God (to boost my eyesight to be able to decipher the coded handwriting of my classmates in the exam hall) made the constant ranting of the mantra stop!..
I now had completed the final stage. I looked around satisfied with myself. Expecting the highest respect and honour on my return home I marched forward. I took my two steps forward and a new mantra crashed down on my head! This time it my company.. It went about something like this..
"Study for xyz certifications and we wont fire you"..
Hard to argue with a mantra made from the highest of moral ethics and dictated by God to us mortals so we don't mess it up...
Now I look around.. My life is still not made.. Infact.. my life was more "made" when I was in kindergarten! My breakfast, lunch and dinner was made. My clothes were made. My homework even was made!!
Now I look at 1000 pages of Java (no.. not the coffee).. Trying to make sense of it.. Page 45 done.. 955 pages left to go!.. Piece of cake..

life.. or something like it....

One boring sunday afternoon, a person decides to go ahead and open his mind.. to the world..
Why??
Maybe because he is just bored.. or maybe.. it just that he wants a medium to spill all the vile and filth in his scarcely convoluted brain..
So.. assuming that person is me.. (*surprise surprise*).. here goes..
Ever wonder what the parents of a dying child would want??
sure.. everyone might say.. they would want a healthy kid.. and nothing else..
WRONG!!!
The world that we live in.. well.. human beings that we have around.. are highly over rated pieces of "the creator"..
now most people would think.. ok.. so.. this bored testosterone infected wonder of "the creator" saw the ndtv interview of the mother who's daughter was killed and has just lost faith in all humanity...
WRONG again!!..
Turns out.. another event had me realise.. the highly over rated aspect of "parents love".. is.. well.. over rated!
No.. it wasn't my parents not givng me ice cream when I was little, and it wasn't even the fact that they did not want me doing drugs just so I can have an experience of a lifetime..
Imagine living your entire life a slave.. You are constantly abused and locked up.. your basic freedom to speak, your basic fundamental right to freedom.. all gone.. why??
well.. because in an unfortunate random event of love?.. you turned out to be a girl.. and in a bigger unfortunate event.. you turned out to be girl.. in India.. The land of the spices, enchanted snakes and the arranged marriage..
A friend of mine just passed away.. weeks after her "marriage".. obviously.. her parents were in deep agony.. the pain.. so bad.. that it deluded them into saying that she passed away in an accident travelling with her other girlfriends..
fact though.. is that it was guyfriend.. Oh no no no.. it was not her long lost boyfriend... it was not an affair either(even though the experience gained from the wonderful saas bahu serials say otherwise).. it was something even more surreal.. it was.. a guy who was just a friend..
I know this is a strange concept for some.. afterall .. if the noted humanoligist and behavioural expert Dr. Harry from the movie, when Harry met Sally is to be believed.. guys and girls can never be friends.. I forgot if being a brother was even too silly a question to be asked..
None the less.. as it turns out.. the pain and agony of this bunch of loving caring and wonderful parents.. made them say such a thing.. after all.. what wonderful parents would want to live with the shame of having a child that sat next to another guy after marriage!!
Now.. it turns out... they have found the root of the problem and are actively addressing the same to prevent their second daughter from falling for the same grave danger! They have now resolved to prevent the corrupting microwaves of a cellphone and the millions of harmful bacteria spread through meeting other people socially, from affecting the other precious girl..
Some people might call it removing freedom.. but.. hell.. what do they know about microwaves and bacteria!

Sure... i bet people out there are gonna ask.. so.. you want that horrific wester culture induced "love marriage" to corrupt our children?? Goodness.. do you even know that the statistics indicated love marriages fail more than arranged marriages??!!
Well.. maybe true.. but.. statistics also prove that current attrition in a job is way higher than what it used to be when slaves worked for a person..
So lets get the slave system back!!!!!

Funny thing is.. On the one hand we have parents who do a lot of things because of "society" and on the other.. we have mothers giving up their lives.. just to love the one thing that gives them joy.. their kids..

Maybe thats the gift and curse of being and having parents...
