Please, let that man go in peace


I don't understand why is it necessary to blackwash someone who we don't like. Yes i am talking about M.F.Hussain. Yes, i don't know much about art, only thing i know is to look at an art and say whether i like it or not. There happened to be a hot debate whether what Mr. Hussain did was right or wrong? We always like to judge others. There are a lot of artists who make nude paintings, but of course that is not the problem, the problem lies in, "who you are depicting". If he had made a painting of an ordinary woman it wouldn't have been such a big issue. But it is our gods and godesses, it is definitely blasphemous, man, how could any Hindu with dignity could forgive this. Even if we killed him, it wouldn't be a problem b'coz it would be for the honour of our religion.

i don't understand how come our blood boil when any one say anything about our religion or gods but nothing happens when our fellow humans are torched or raped or human children are forced to do Mammoth tasks, which they couldn't bear. When our fellow beings are looted by the so called powerful people, we just sit by. We can't or we won't react, when something hideous happen to a being whom we can see and touch and feel. But we are ready to die for someone whom we have never seen. The only relation we have with him is from the stories we have been hearing from the moment we were born. It is useless to fight in the name of god and religion. It is a belief system, either you believe or not.

The problem is not the nudity it about what is it trying to convey. It could be good and bad, its all about the intention of the artist.. And one cannot blame Hussain for not being consistent in his emotions about nudity or for that matter any other emotions. Because it is this unpredictable nature of their emotional surge which gives them that flare to produce great piece of art. You can't possibly looking for consistency and facts in an art, it is all about exaggeration,imagination and creativity.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
