REDeology- Voice of a Renegade…

Well, being the lazy ass I am, I’d have never created a blog for myself… It was this particular bulletin I posted on Friensdster that led to this… As usual, I had to voice my opinion about some issue and it garnered quite a postive response among those in my friends’ list… So much so that a couple of people encouraged me to start blogging… So,here I am… If you’re wondering, what big shit bulletin could it have been,  here it is for your perusal… Nothing great, just my usual social critic commentary… Quite crappy anyway but it has all the right to find it’s place in my blog for posterity… So, rambling starts… NOW!

"The Bulletin: Now, who the hell is Vikneswaran and do you think I give a hoot about why he has a simple profile? About 15-20 people on my list posted a bulletin on that with a link to his page… Best part is, his goddamn account is suspended…

Since I’m on it and I’m so free in camp and I don’t have a damn blog, lemme just lament here…

All the funny bulletins I get in a week… One says “ Pls don’t steal my pics” of a particular celebrity…Damn sad and sympathetic la… As though they bought exclusive rights from Reuters…

Then there’s those which say some scarfaced woman would be standing behind you when you look into the mirror, if you don’t repost some crap bulletin about this girl who slashed her face… I read the bulletin, did NOT repost it and all I saw in the mirror behind me was my toilet bowl…

I don’t know whether you read about the one titled *how sex starts* That’s a laugh… About how a smile leads to a laugh which in turn leads to a hug and so on till sex… If it was that easy I’d be waking up on a different bed, EVERY day…Don’t think I’ll have any female friends anymore…Actually, the world would be better if the bulletin was true… Yeah!

Then, the 1001 bulletins about how you should treat a girl… On one hand women tell us to be ourselves… On the other, they create bulletins on how we SHOULD treat them… Like they are some electronic accessory and these bulletins are user manuals… Girls, how your man treats you should come direct from his heart, not through some lame crap forward bulletin…

And then there was this nonsense about mum on friendster… Some girl’s mother was on Friendster and some shadow crept up behind her and brutally murdered her… Ok, though the plot sounds as soapy as some B-grade Emraan Hashmi Hindi movie, do you guys really buy that crap? People are lame enough to forward the bulletin cos it says “hat
same shadow will be standing behind you in 5minutes ready to kill you unless you spread this information to different people. I’d suggest you hurry up and repost MY MOM IS
ON friendster!” What the hell?

Then, there’s all this stuff about how men only go for looks… True enough, we do go for looks, I admit. But not as if women fantasize about Danny Devito, Kumar or Moses Lim right? They only swoon over the likes of Will Smith and Brad Pitt right?

Ok, after all the blathering, lemme come to the main point… I’m still alive after reading those chain bulletins and so will you… So, stop being lame and just don’t give a heck after reading those messages…

Secondly, I shall make use of this chance to publicize an upcoming production… Most Friendster bulletins condemn men and tell us how to treat our ladies right. For a change, if you wanna know men’s inner feelings, their sorrows which are not exposed and how even some men are abused by their female counter parts, you should catch UllaeVeliyae- The Forbidden Grief. This RDG production will be staged on 4 & 5^th Aug @ Jubilee Hall. For tickets please call 96357496. More info on the bulletin I posted two days back… Go backtrack to 12 July…

Repost this bulletin within the next 5 minutes or you shall be cursed with a mouth that smells like baby’s poop for the next 13 years. "

So, that was it folks… What made me start a blog… Seeya!

This had to happen someday, right? For those who know me well enough, this blog shouldn’t be some great shock… Yeah, I know, I’ve always had opinions about stuff and I never tried to keep it to myself either… I just have to voice my beliefs and question every norm that we encounter in life…

It’s just me… Manufacturing defect I guess… I could never bring myself to walk away quietly from a discussion where I sincerely feel I’ve my point about it… I’m not able to disagree with something within myself yet nod my head in approval to conform with the general majority… Not just able to see something I frown about but only bitch about it to my friends and give a smiling front to the very ones whose actions I scorn at…

Now, I sound like some Tamil movie hero right? Damn, I better tone down… I’m not a hero… I’m not a comedian, contrary to the general opinion of me due to my entertainment persona… I’m not a villain, not that evil… I’m just human, your everyday anti-hero… I hate, I loathe, I swear, I curse, I lust, I lie, I envy, I sin… No different from you… I’m no angel… But I am GOD, so are you…

More on that ideology in future blogs… As for now, I’m just gonna blow my own horn in my inaugural blog… Why can’t I? It’s my blog… I’ll voice my opinion… I’ll say what I believe… Yeah, some well-wishers say " You are a public persona… Don’t get involved in unnecessary socio-politics… Don’t tarnish your image… And so on" Yeah,true… But this IS me… Am I supposed to display a false front to everyone in the name of image… I’m being what I am… I wanna talk to the world… I wanna make a difference… I don’t wanna hide and live as a social coward all my life long and brood within myself as of to why this and that is not right… It is every human’s right to fight for what he deems right… The path that I took in life, to communicate to people through various mediums, is for this very reason… The reason I wield my microphone as the weapon of my choice is to reach out to anyone and everyone… Not gonna drop it in hypocritic fashion… Of course, that doesn’t mean I’ve never been a hypocrite, all of us are in a way… I digress again… More on hypocrisy in future posts…

Getting back to the topic at hand- I may be an outcast, outlaw, pariah or renegade in my own rights and I may differ from the majority…Think what they may want to, but I refuse to conform… Just because some fella ever precedented that pink is a lady’s colour, men can’t use it? So does it make me any less a man or a effeminate/metrosexual to use pink fonts? Well, I will… If you think I’m gay, go ahead… Sad, that you’re so shallow… If we’re all the same, then no one stands out… By conforming, you are just placing me in the limelight…

I ever wrote this for a Jeeva Gaanam trailer… If abided by, for the right reasons, I believe everyone can be a hero in his own right.
