Well I thought why put abuses in a title… Arre bhai this is a civil society!
I’d be honest with all of you, I’d been dying to lay my hands on this topic for quite a while now, my whole holidays were spoilt in watching the media rant about them.
Anna uncle went on a fast and when something was going to happen, left the show to be run by ‘mainukiys’ (this is what bhajji said to symonds, poor fellow heard monkey…Punjabi is fun btw..)
I googled up “civil society” and by the time I could type civi on the pad, a suggestion for the game civiballs appeared and my pursuit ended then and there. But, do you know what a ‘civil society’ means? A great friend replied as ‘I have no clue’, another one was more sober in saying ‘aa c**os le mera’ but the query remained unanswered. Even mittal was silent on this issue (speaks volumes about the seriousness of the matter)
And I am still thinking… finally came up with few hints, you might have to help me out here as well, here goes –
- - Civil society is one which watches ‘wo waali’ movies on cable after 12 midnight (chummi called them dharmik movies, the lost bua…?)
- - Civil society is culturally elite, they appreciate dhobi ghat without watching it even once (they have seen munni and sheela on infinite loops though)
- - Civil society has evaded the blessed ‘thulla’ on traffic signals by either a phone call to ‘someone special’ or recalling the father of the nation(Gandhiji is on every note)
- - Civil society has stolen electricity, evaded taxes and broken queues quite a lot of times
- - Civil society cell phones never switch off in satyanarain kathas or ICUs
- - Civil society ne “yaha peshaab karna mana hai” pe muta hai
- - Civil society letches at neighbour’s wife but teaches ghar ki beti to ‘behave’
- - Civil society loves spitting on roads and apparently their father owns it (wonder what did the contractor take to reproduce so many citizens..)
- - Civil society never abuses in public, you can try scratching their car for starters
- - Civil society during elections didn’t vote in the morning because it was too early, afternoon was simply too hot and evening had to be spent at a mall, so much work yaar
- - Civil society loves talking in talk shows, they however don’t believe in doing anything concrete because ‘wo to sarkar karegi’
- - Civil society believes the world will end in 2012
- - Civil society also loves to worship floating stones, talking goats(sorry kd, couldn’t find one for you) and random babas (Usmani Intl. excluded)
- - Civil society condemns the DPS MMS scandal after watching it on the cell phone!
- - Civil society “sab jaanti hai”… so they never thought things can change!
What else can I say here.. even I’m not a saint, but then I do accept my mistakes and have been trying to ‘execute’ some things for positive results (anu can vouch for it, he calls me the executionist… he thinks.. I execute…)
And I do have questions to all you guys out there -
When will you grow up??
When will you have the balls to do something about it??
When will you go out there and vote to get the right guy in the assembly??
I refuse to give answers to you… apne andar dekho aur poocho kya kar sakte ho… jawaab mil jaayega.
Do think once before you spit on the road next time, you’d be saving a poor sweeper some sturdy hours of cleaning in 43 degrees of summer heat…
Till then – “chain se sona hai to jag jao”…
PS – ATB to all new job joiners… J
