Mostly I chat with a lot of 'lols' and icons, so just insert a smiley face anywhere it feels a little rough for you. It was intended in the lightest of manners. You might still want to run though if you can. Ever wanted to date a patron? ;) Hehehehe, just kidding. 323371@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 17:53:34 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323370 Anona. You are most welcome to enjoy the fine Indian cuisines at Dosti. Its just that you got me bit worried about by butt, as I have a very low threshold for pain and I cry easily. 323370@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 17:37:12 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323368 You're revoking my invitation?

Not really having solid ground, but having a gripe about everything? Pro-offerring bad advice on every topic, but not actually following it while you maintain your platformed traditional values? I'm not a tool. 323355@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 14:47:19 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323334 Ms. A: ""Kerty, you sound even more stupid than cs."" I wallow in my stupidity!! The more the merrier! Thanks for the back-handed compliment... 323334@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 13:15:39 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323331 Anona.. Nothing personal. I am playing a devil's advocate and gave you glimpse of how cold, relentless, emotion-less, and value-less logic of mathematics, science, philosophies, ideologies and visions can be, where feelings, relationships, consequences are just stupid and dumb and expendable baggage of the irrational minds and retrograde era. It allows votaries guided by their visions and ideologies to dispose of whatever others may love and value without remorse or blinking their eye - be it your loves ones, be it relationships and institutions you may have found solace in - family, community, culture, religion. If it made you feel insulted, feeling of being war upon, needing shield of armor and reduced you to name calling i.e dumb and stupid etc, I think you got the drift. Welcome to REAL desi world. 323331@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 13:09:55 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323297 "stupid Bull keeps walking for a small bite of fodder never realizing that it is being made fool of and it is being used. Humans are no better." I like to know early on if ppl are capable of displaying human emotions in the right places or not before I get attached. I do so easily, maybe it is my own stupidity, lack of something, or a curse, but it is me and I 'know thyself' well enough. I'm certainly better than an animal and I demand that you treat me better than that as well, even if this is just some place to s**t our thoughts. My sentiments and emotions, although burdensome, can be used as a shield of armor in a war against you peoples and is as valid a tool as the sword in your mouth that licks me devistatingly. "You have given her birth. Your job is done. Now move on." Kerty, you sound even more stupid than cs. I can't believe this kind of dumb statement would ever come out of another parent's mouth. You insult me with your barnage. 323297@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 09:02:01 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323263 Anona.. At the end of day, love too is an illusion, a phase, a shackle, a burden, a bondage. It demands. it expects. It wants to be near. Love is attachment. It wants to be part of. It wants exclusive rights. It does not want to share. It wants to possess. It wants to own. It wants fidelity. It demands matching sacrifices - from the loved. Love comes with strings. Lots of them. Self-less love, unconditional love are like mirage - they keep you going but there is nothing at the end of it - like a santa claus. Its a myth, a fiction. Have you ever seen how edible oil is traditionally extracted in small villages in India by using a bull - a bull is tied with a rope to a grinder that rotates with the movement of the bull and as bull walks in circles, the grinder crushes the grains and oil is extracted - small fodder is tied with the bull and dangled in front of the bull. So the bull keeps walking in order to catch the fodder but fodder keeps moving with the bull, thus the bull, like a robot, keeps going in circles for hours on end till the oilman's job is done - stupid Bull keeps walking for a small bite of fodder never realizing that it is being made fool of and it is being used. Humans are no better. Some crafty Oilmen dangle Utopias and Laplands in front of them and watch humans run like robots, never getting there and never realizing that they are being used. Why do you want to give in to illusion? You have given her birth. Your job is done. Now move on. Let her be individual of her own, on her own. 323263@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 01:17:31 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323262 Anona..

Thought they had bars for that. I'm sorry, but you're kinda pathetic. Maybe your woman left you lately? 323254@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 00:16:34 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323252 That's SERIOUSLY funny!! No need to flatter yourself, or me, or Kerty. Seriously we are who we are and its that acceptance of myself that makes me tick (Ok, i do get self-righteous a lot, but really, it's not due to any mean-bone in my ribs...I just love to argue passionately, and as anyone who has been here long enough, knows, I do apologise profusely and sincerely the next day, after the alcohol has been recycled). Really, on DC, we do like each other a lot, even the folks we pick up assinine and uresolvable arguments with. Especially them. Reminds me: where the FISH is Man Singh?? And Gill? And Kunal? All fair-weather DC community members? But that's how most communities are... 323252@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 00:11:09 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323250 but, I like both of you. You guys can stop fighting over me anytime now. HAHAHAHHAHA Well, if I can't flatter anyone and no one will flatter me, might as well flatter myself. 323250@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 00:04:21 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323249 Sure, if I died today, I wouldn't care either! Why would I care if nobody cared? and why should anyone, except my close friends, care? nobody is indispensable. am i an atheist? i don't think so! an agnostic. how can anyone ever know what the fish is going on out there and everywhere? atheists unintentionally acknowledge that somebody called God exists. Because they do not believe in him/her. I have no idea whether god, him, she or it exists, so why do i have to not believe in her/his/its existence? simply irrelevant to my life...unless one is talking of good beer! 323249@desicritics.org Sun, 2 Mar 2008 00:04:19 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323247 cs, If you died today, who on DC would know, or even care? That's a defunct community, interesting, yes, but defunct. You're all wasting our time here. Yes, I could sense your atheism coming out. 323247@desicritics.org Sat, 1 Mar 2008 23:58:06 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323246 kerty sahab, hyperventilating at my cut and paste of gibran? well, we can and should do all we can. but at the end of the day, our children do and will live in a different world - social, political, symbolic, material. if we try to make them replicas of ourselves, we will only be disappointed...just commonsense 323246@desicritics.org Sat, 1 Mar 2008 23:57:10 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323245 Haha. Kerty, I don't know you, but I know you are not nearly as threatening as the tone of your post. My love for my daughter will always be tarnished by my past. I hope she learns to hate me in her adulthood, that will mean she has not followed my path. I'm stupid and have done a lot of stupid things, but I can't run from love or I would've been gone a long time ago. 323245@desicritics.org Sat, 1 Mar 2008 23:54:14 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323244 Anona.. Run, Anona, Run. Run away from your daughter as fast as you can. Dump her. Discard her. She is not yours. Don't be burdened by her. Save your own soul, that is all is yours. Run to Santa Claus Land, that is only thing that is real, rest is all Maya, Illusion. Or better yet. Leave her to santa claus. Let state worry about her welfare. Let feminists fend for her. Let Grand Saviour save her. Let politicians worry about her worries. Let consumerism own her as consumer, government own her as citizen, economy own her as means of production, humanity own her as human. Let all of then vie to claim her body, mind, soul and free will. But You? Who the hell are you? Get lost. 323244@desicritics.org Sat, 1 Mar 2008 23:46:25 EST http://desicritics.org/2008/03/01/093421.php#comment-323243 Anona.. Run, Anona, Run.
