zzzzzz....

oh man!! 3pm.. 5am.. 8pm.. there is a common thread that runs through these times. Guess what.. usually more often than not you'll find me snoozing away to glory at these times of the day of late. Dunno what's got into me. Its just getting too much. Have missed 2 lectures because I was too lazy to get up.. i'm in a b-school.. n people dont have time to do the usual things.. whereas I.. I keep snoring.. well one reasoning could be due to change in weather.. it has suddenly become very awesome.. i mean its the kind of weather whr you can just slide under the blanket and catch a movie or read a book along with a ho cup of tea..all this thanks to cyclone Phyan which whisked off the konkan coast leaving some after effects (in moderation ofcourse :)) for us to enjoy. Has been a great week after my midterms. But have realized that the enjoyment (read: lethargy) has stretched too far. Have to catch up on my acads, do projects well before deadlines (atleast thts wht the plan is).. so lots on the plate bt the only thing left is to wake up n start my meal :)
till then lemme enjoy another weekend :) have a great weekend!!!

What lies beneath!!!

I had a subject called Social transformation of India (STI)...basically a sociology subject it enlightens us on the fallacies, lies and deceipt on which we have evolved.. its a damn cool subject taught by one of the most brilliant teachers i have ever encountered.. Dr AF Mathew.. he teaches at MICA, Ahmedabad.. n his lectures r awesome n shocking.. u hv to go wid an open mind to accept the facts that he quotes.. especially for females..man its a shocker (hehe too contrary to wht he believes).. his topics range from caste, race, women, sex, gods, mythology, indian politics, films etc .. n all these combined... whtever beliefs we tend to hv naturally frm birth are based on frauds... based on so much lies n deception.. he gives such a critical argument to each and every fact/belief tht its mind blowing... btw he has been issued a fatwa due to his controversial teachings and so engaging methodology of teaching... also he had approached HC to seek protection frm the Bajrang Dal who v obviously could nt digest his facts and inferences..
yesterday jus going thru the texts of this course i realised we as people r so biased for no fault of ours...its jus the way society has evolved and accepted some things relating to God/culture/religion as gospel... thr is no way to find out the truth abt such events/occurences/history/culture/mythology which we consider as our sense of belonging.. i will try to pen down the issues taken up in this course to enlighten some of u.. nt wid the intention of biasing u.. bt jus to make u think - WHY???

i leave u with some excerpts of Mathew in his class...these are actual quotes of his in class targetted to anyone even if u r a girl.. so no restrictions in his class...can u imagine he asks ppl wht kind of porn they prefer watching.. :P n also gives a detalied description of it.. his students all over jus adore him... :)

He says that a long time ago women were actually dominant since she was sexually more powerful than a male... but wid time, the male ego made him feel insecure so in all cultures it can be seen how texts were doctored to show women being subjugated n shown in a bad light..one suc example...

"Chanakya's arthshastra says women are so pervert u have to put them in constant invigilation. They will have sex with ugly men... "i hope" says mathew sir with some treacherous smile , they will have sex with old man " i hope" again mathew sir with same smile."

"I am like a ray of light in your wretched lives.
I feel like a genius everywhere I go because you people know nothing"

"u dont read newspaper, u dont watch TV, so wat u do all day, watch Porn.... "

"god is standing in front of u
don worry now i hav come
everything will be alright...hmmm "

"If I had not come to teach you who would have emancipated your wretched souls"

"If a girl sleeps with ten boys of her class, she's a slut. If a boy does the same with ten girls, he's a stud. This is the bang-on-target example of gender bias.."

Addressing a lady: "Do you go home and declare, Mom ! Great news !! I'm a lesbian !! "

some 40 % of the students, I interview say Hitler is their role model. I normally select them coz I realize that they need me more

"I will declare I will screen a Lesbian film in auditorium and when all the seats are occupied, I will play the Gay Film"

"Of course I don't believe in that rubbish that all men are equal..You can't be my equal"

"Young people are same everywhere...one big koodadan"

"In Mills & Boon, hero plants a kiss on heroine's forehead and she faints. I think she'll have epilepsy during intercourse"

"when placement seasons come all of u will become monsters.....what do u say young women...hhmmmmmmm...."

"Do join Goldman Sachs NY and send me DVD's"

"come on guys...u all r students of IIM..supposedly the "best brains" in the country..baah such crap people talk no"

"you underdeveloped zygotes...."

"Look at this man...He will definately beat his wife after marriage...now don't say no."

"wife of a dalit is Slave to a Slave !!!"

"The Hindu Gods were all very 'playful'....Shiva.... Shiva(with a cheeky smile!!)"

"I can very answer your question by adding an adjective before a pronoun. The pronoun is 'you' and the adjective is a four letter starting with 'F"

"the "male gaze"!! in kerala, they can rape you with their eyes."

"To the engineers in the batch - all you have done in your life is -
0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1....."

"r u feeling sleepy?? wht were u doing last nite? watching porn? huh!"

After a student replies that he doesn't watch TV..
"You don't watch TV... what have you done in your life?"...:-)"

After talking about sexual liberties..
"All I have told you doesn't mean that you start pouncing on each other":-)"

"So the next time don't just ask "Do you have a girlfriend, ask , Do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend :) ?"
