Beyond Unbelievable

I know Indian TV serials have illogical and unbelievable stories.  I never watch them.  In our home, we have Tamil Sun TV only.  This is for the benefit of my wife.  She watches a few serials.

 

My wife briefs me once in a while what is happening in those few serials she watches.  Here is one story in a serial that is beyond unbelievable.

 

There is a girl.  She gets married and lives with her husband and his parents.  They (all 3) ill treat her.  They ask her to go back to her parent’s home permanently.  She refuses.  Why she refuses?  Here is her reason:

 

Her uncle thinks she is happily married.  She does not want to disappoint him.  Therefore, she will stay in the in-law’s home and willing to suffer.

 

Now, the husband and his parents are taking advantage of this.  They tell her that she will be treated as a household servant in their home.  She agrees.  She should address them Amma and Ayya (Tamil words for a servant to address the masters).  She agrees.  Husband should be addressed as “Sir”.  She agrees

 

They find a second wife for the son and the son marries the new girl.  The second wife treats the first wife even more harshly.  The son and his parents enjoy this.

 

The son and the second wife goes to the bedroom every night and the first wife sleeps in the hall, on the floor.

 

Why the first wife willingly goes through this?  She does not want to disappoint her uncle who thinks she has a happy married life.  This is happening in 2013? Give me a break.

 

If you can think of any more bizarre incidents that can be added to this story, please let me know.  I will forward them to that serial’s director.

 

Seriously, come to think of it, I enjoy the story for pure fun.  I won’t watch the serial.  My wife’s weekly synopsis is enough.

Flags at Half Mast?

At this time of national tragedy, is a cricket match of India vs Pakistan necessary?  Don’t they have any compassion?  Is money that much important?  For those people who bought tickets to watch these matches, will you go to the stadium if your sister was gang raped and murdered?

 

I am talking about the young girl who was gang raped and murdered by six hooligans.  May she rest in peace.

 

For a school shooting, the U.S. President ordered American flags throughout the world fly at half mast, as a mark of country’s mourning.

 

Is any Indian flag at half mast now?  I don’t know.  Please let me know if any Indian flag is flying at half mast for mourning the death of this innocent young girl.  Is Mukherjee busy snacking jhal muri?

 

Wait for a month.  On January 26, everything will be forgotten.  Mukherjee will come in an open carriage and Singh will come in an open jeep – both of them beaming and waving to the people.

R.I.P.

Damini

 

Damini “passed away peacefully”.  This is the official statement from the Singapore hospital.

 

May our beloved Damini rest in peace.  Our heartfelt condolences to her family and her friend.  Hope he recovers soon.

 

No one can really feel the pain and suffering she endured on December 16.

 

Indian law does not permit death penalty for rapists.  I am told it is 10 years maximum.  I personally and strongly feel that these rapists should and must get the same treatment as Damini got from them.

 

How this is possible?

 

Governments can do lot of secret things.  For example, I think,  transporting Damini to Singapore is a political decision.  This is to minimize the problem in New Delhi when she dies.  When so many foreigners are coming to India for surgery and other treatments, what is the need to send her to Singapore?  India has one of the best medical experts in the world.

 

I have a suggestion as to how to punish the rapists.  Indian law will not allow death penalty.  But they can clandestinely transfer the rapists/jailed prisoners to a maximum security prison in USA.  Many sex starved hardened criminals are here.  These Indian rapists/prisoners will be raped and murdered in a few weeks of their arrival.  I would personally like to pay these US hardened criminals money if they insert and violently screw a foreign object inside their body before their death.
