The Real Race

Blooming flowers,chirping birds and a glowing sun.Withering leaves ,orange skies and a beautiful wind.A dull overcast,a drawn blanket with two toes outside.Textbook definitions of season.Forget polo,I like the pole.Black Jack.My fair lady.’Hey there,Mr.Soldier.Attention!!’.Seasonal again.The toast of every season changes.Right from Sexist to Racist,the taste buds of the pepole have been changing.Faster than diapers,they say.To act like a responsible citizen of the blue planet,cracking racist jokes in a social gathering over a drink has become an essence.Shame well lost..A gentle laugh never hurt anyone,rather never any race.Mr.Russel Peters will know it better.Right from mocking Spanish with his “Essay” and “Senour” to his snubbing remarks on Indian names(Suk-deep Singh),he is by far the biggest Race Freak you can ever come across.Push off Bhajji.Our tongues cant’ be held responsible for their seasonal variation.So who is to be blamed for all this?Seeking an answer to this question might be the least in a priority list,that might even include taking a bath in a severe winter morning..I firmly believe that the grass roots for this discriminative behaviour lies in the behavourial patterns of human beings right from time immemorial.
Chess,one of the most ancient games known to mankind can be cited as an example.Ever wondered why the chess squares are black and white?So are the pieces.Forget all that,why does the white piece have to start first and not the black ones?The rift doesn’t end here.Racism just grew over the year.You play a game “ Fair and Square” ,and you end up beating up your opponent’ Black and Blue ‘! It is shocking to see English language playing fiddle to such discrimination.The white dove,a symbol of peace,the black band ,a cause for mourning.What a shame!Enter the world of food,it gets groovier.Black Pepper,Black coffee,Black Tea,Red tea too! & Brown sugar.Finally we have a third entrant!Why isn’t it White Sugar?White Salt?Enter Cafe Coffee day,our eyes are gretted with ‘Black Forest’(pun not intended) and Green apple soda!This is really eerie…
Hollywood adds to our long culprits list,”My fair Lady” followed by “The Dark Knight” and not to forget “ Donnie Darko” .A big generalization. The illustrious list continues with Grammy award winners “ Black Eyed Peas “ and “fade to Black”, a song by Metallica. If we scan through with a ‘Red’ eye,even miniscule details appear coloured, suprisingly not red always! Red alert says the danger sign,which has a white skull over a black background.Thats inter-racial for you! Science and Technology are not exactly the hostile neighbours,Resistors have ‘colour codes’, aeorplanes have “Black Boxes” and so on and so forth.
The list just goes on and on,and suprisingly keeps growing.So why is there a fuss about colour nowadays? From hairy brown creatures, we are now black, white, brown and much much more.The hairy stays on of course. So much for diversity.

The Smooth Criminal…No more..

The King of Pop

The ‘Bad’ Boy who was a “Thriller” on stage with his breathtaking music and scintillating movements is no more..”Dangerous”  might not be on everybody’s lips , but Michael Jackson was a man who literally changed POP music.With his patented style(“the gravity lean”) and his trademark moon walk , he was the biggest entertainer of the 80’s and early 90’s.He died last night due to a cardiac arrest.R.I.P THE KING OF POP.
