Whats the big deal??

As I often screen through channels on the tube, I come across alot of self help programmes. There, people pour out their feelings and share with the world all the issues. The most annoying thing would be that these issues are so trivial and when the people cope well with it, they are considered heroes.

I feel that an example is in order. There was this girl in the Tyra Banks show that was "suffering" beacuse she was being bullied in school and so something had to be done. There was also another instance when this girl lost her mother during a holiday was trying to cope with life without her and the added pressure on her. I dont mean any offence at all and i sympathise with them totally but the issue I have is , so what?? I dont quite comprehend why only people in the developed countries especially in US have so many problems that are blown up but when in fact they are something that is very common. Developing countries experience disasters that are ten fold in terms of scale and they lose more but they dont have a medium for which they can express their grieve.

Developed countries i can fairly say take their position for granted. They will truly know what is hell when they go to less fortunate countries. Only then will they realise that being teased or breaking up with their boyfriends or simply being poor is miniscule in status. The media is too interested with sharing with the world the plight, no matter how small, with the rest of the world. Look at Hurricane Katrina. I know that there was devestation is New Orleans and all but I mean why isnt there coverage of all the other disaters? I admit that it was an ordeal but come on. I dont like it when people in bigger countries feel that they are the only ones in the world suffering when in fact they are not. We are getting more and more picky about these things and the fact that self help shows deem people who face meagre issues as heroes reiterates this point.

I know that there will never come a point when there would be more coverage for the poorer countries, but please people in bigger countries, when u think that u are facing one heck of a catastrophe, spare a thought for those who suffer more than u each second.

What people always ask me..??

Hi..Just wanted to share with the world some thoughts and the knowledge of some things that go on in the mind of people around me. Basically they tend to ask me stuff that are hysterical but some how gets u thinking what goes on in that brain of theirs. I do not mean to insult anyone who asks people what I am about to say on a regular basis but maybe just point out to u why I feel that they are redundant..haha..or rather why they are so funny.

"Hey, u vegetarian right? U can eat chicken or fish?"..This is basically rhetorical and does not need an explanation.. Say what u might but the ans is so duh haha.

"Hey I thought vegetarians are supposed to be skinny how come u are nt?"
Vegans can be both skinny or fat and it fundamentally depends on food intake and what type of foods are consumed and how much we expend and that depends on the kind of lifestyle we lead and so there u are.. after all we still are humans and we function in every way everyone else does.

That is just an appetiser , will give u more in future.

This next part is abt the ignorance of the chinese friends I have and I dont blame them. I mean its not really their fault that they do not comprehend basic things such as these but I admire their desire to gain enlightenment by making queries. This may only refer to several groups of ppl.

1st problem: They have this idea that all Indians know tamil.
Tamil is a language and Indian is a race.Easy.
2nd problem: They have this notion that all Indians are black.
...?nonsense
3rd problem: They have the habit of mixing up Tamil and Hindi.
Tamil is frm tamil nadu and Hindi is spoken mostly in the north but is the ntl
lang of india.
4th problem: They think that all Bollywood movies revolves around ppl dancing ard trees.
haha haha.. this is comical man. I admit that all shows involve dancing but the ones
in the past few years do not consist of any such thing. Stop living in the past!!!

These are issues that require attention since we are a multi racial community but somehow they dont know these basic things. I am not sure how to react to these whether to shoot myself or die laughing but they not understanding is pure gold and entertainment as they ranck their heads to solve this scientific puzzle..


I will share with u more soon but as a last note i would like to officially say for the benefit of those who dont already know that Indians are not BANGLAS!
