Observing some stuff

I have been noticing some things ever since I came here. For those who didn't know, I have come back to India after six months, and have visited thrice last year.

Here are some thoughts that ran through my head in the past 48 hours(with details, since pavi asked for them.)


1. Why are the people such morons here. Most of the walls are red with spit stains. I saw over 10 different people throw wrappers on the street...and whats wrong with the young boys, the teenagers. Why do majority of them look like hooligans. They walk around with this odd gangster attitude. I feel like drowning them in the ocean.

2. That's actually the sum of all my thoughts...handpicking lots of people and just dumping them in the ocean. Of course, I don't want to pollute the ocean, so I will just lower them in a giant net, and when the net stops moving, will drag them all out and bury them...maybe their body will help in some plant growth. So basically, reviewing the general public in India..it gets marked with a "FAILED!" on my book. Dont get me wrong. When I say general public I don't mean the people who have decent jobs, or are..lets say..my readers. You guys are alright. I am specifically talking about the idiots who think kissing in public is a sin, or "doctors" who are "protecting our country" from swine flu by doing checks in the airport...
...
checks which consist of, "do you have fever?" "uh..no" "ok, you can go"
Wow, gee...so scientific.

I am surprised how come we haven't been affected yet. Just pure luck I guess. We probably wouldn't even know if swine flu is here already, considering there are hundreds of thousands of people here.
When I say some guys are meant to be nutrients for the earth's crust, I refer to the ones who enforce their archaic ideas on the youth. Please give us back our pacemakers if you don't like the future generations so much.
The way I see it, you old farts had your time..and you fucked it up. So basically, telling us what to do doesn't really help. We don't need screwups to give us advice on how to run the country. We might as well refer to foreign countries because at least they run it better.
Case in point..singapore... you have indians chinese koreans vietnamese indonesians...all living peacefully in an area thats smaller than bombay...SMALLER! And they are living peacefully.
I hate them..I keep saying I hate that place...I wonder if hate is the right word..maybe I don't hate, I envy.

Truth be told, the only...ONLY reason I wouldn't want to live in singapore is because of their one tiny rule..that your kid, the boy child, HAS to enrol in the military for atleast 2 years once he turns 18. Yea, I don't want my kid to do that. Soooo..singapore is a no no. I can stay there, earn there..but once a child is born, time to move.

Regardless of it all, India literally doesn't seem to be a good place to raise a child anymore. Inside your home is perfect, the culture is beautiful, the history is rich and vibrant. I love all that. I love the food, the music(old music, no nasal whiny himesh crap), the amazing natural beauty of the south, brilliant monuments and forts up in the north. I love that all. Its the people that disgust me.

3. I realized that some people are destined for greatness, others are just born to make good fertilizer for the planet.

4. It would be so much easier if people go abroad just once. 2 weeks..go out. Visit some place like Italy or Singapore or australia...for heavens sake, america is not an option. Try any one of the first three places out. Two weeks. You will hate coming back. Because you realize that there is a better life out there. A much cleaner and easy going life, with its fair share of hardships, but atleast the bullshit that we see here, figuratively and literally.

5. The education system...what in the fuck. Ok, lets start with the online admissions.
So basically, everyone just applies online, picks 20 colleges and can get any one. Could be anyone. They don't get that choice.
Uh helloooo, this works when all colleges teach at the same level. But hey, everyone knows that going in DJ sanghvi is much better than going to some out of town crap college. So quite frankly, I think this sucks.
Second, and this is where I blow my fuse.

SSC students have reserved seats??? and they get a 10% increase on whatever marks they get just because they are SSC...meaning a kid who scored 95% in ICSE would lose to an SSC prick wo scored only 86%.
Yea I don't give a fuck if the majority is SSC and the majority are lower middle class people. Affecting the others isn't a solution. Yea I am all boo-hoo for poverty and everything, but get rid of the caste system, screw the OBC shit...when did SSC become the new OBC?

Fuck that!
If I stay here, the idea of which seems disappearing with every passing moment, then my kid is going in a private school..an international school. They are pricey but their standard of education easily overshadows the bullshit they teach in my college. I know because I have been on both sides of the playing field.

There is no reason to mug up books. There is absolutely no need for percentages. You are judged by your work at first. You could be an average performer with a great portfolio and it wouldn't matter to the companies, they would still hire you.
You could be a 99% high scorer with zero on hand skills, the companies will just laugh at you.
So all in all...indian education... lets stamp that with a big FAIL!

6. I am still irritated with the "checking" they did at the airport. Its as efficient as the "security" which was "boosted" up after the train bombings. Wow, wasn't that a fantastic counterattack.
4 security cops at all the major stations, either dozing away, or playing cards or eyeing women.
One of the few things I realized... I knew that if I am in trouble there, back in singapore, I have to quickly dial the emergency number and call the cops and the ambulance etc...
If I am in a jam here, calling the police is the last thing that would come to my mind.
Can you believe how the idiots are here?

If a husband goes to the hospital with his wife, who is bleeding from her head, the authorities actually have the audacity to call the police to check if this is a case of attempted murder or brutality.
YOU DUMB FOOLS, the husband was telling that she fell down the stairs.

I don't know which is worse, the idiots at the hospital who argued about this, or how sad india is, where if a wife is hurt, they think the husband is the culprit. I have just no words for it.


All in all, I hate it here...the more I see, the more it disgusts me.


Rain. It rains at least, minimum...once in two weeks... in singapore. Every month. All year round. I have not seen one sloshy muddy puddle.
One day here and my boots, my lovely sneakers...they look like they have gone through war.


And anyone...ANYONE who defends this country... I ask you first, have you gone outside this place ever? If no then you frankly can't give me an opinion, because you have no idea what you are talking about.

It just pisses me off to see how badly we are getting fucked over here. ...

India. Biggest IT sector...and yet, shitty internet. It took me ages to connect here. Tata broadband...what a load of crap.

I had over 300kb download speed over there. Actual 300kb..on one of those usb internet thingies.
Here I have broadband..100mbps, allegedly. It took me 12 minutes 42 seconds to open blogger. I COUNTED BECAUSE I WAS GETTING PISSED AND THOUGHT MAYBE COUNTING WILL HELP ME CALM DOWN.

It did...until the point I saw how long it took to load.



What in the hell are we doing?

Just above I mentioned that everyone should go out once. Don't. Most of you like it here...you live in your little bubble fantasy that India is a nice place to live and grow up. If you aren't strong enough to break out of that bubble, stay there only.


I am tired today, but tomorrow I am going to make a detailed comparision between India and singapore, showing the strengths and weaknesses of each country.

Like I said, singapore has its fair share of faults too. Its not perfect. But those faults are negligible compared to ours.
