For someone who hasn't hated another person ever(Yes, never), for someone whose hatred extended to only brinjals till now, this rush of anger towards her country comes as a gargantuan shock that is accompanied by uneasiness. Specially, when this "she" is so determined to only look at the upside of things.
I crumpled today mornings Hindu and stamped on it too. This was after I'd read the first para on the front page on the "support that Tamil Nadu has shown for the Sri Lankan tamils". Support, my ass.
The "youth" from my college who took part in this "human chain" formation on a day when Chennai was flooded, had been locked up in college and later hog tied into forming a part of this chain. Locked, literally not figuratively. Hog tied, literally not figuratively.
After which by the by, I spent four hours getting home from college. FOUR FUCKIN' hours. Traffic inched every half an hour, all the way from Parrys to Chrompet. Over ever fuckin' flyover. And every "back road" there exists across residential areas. On top of that an irritating female on the bus hogged my seat, so I had to stand. Wet, hungry and hence low on sugar, standing. Four hours. Hitting head on the pole helped a little. If I hadn't had my I-pod with me, I'd have considered trying to suicide myself by jumping into the river that had formed at Guindy.
He could have done this chain forming along the damn beach- we have one of the longest beaches in Asia, after all. He could have formed the damn chain after issuing a bandh of some sort. He could have done ANYTHING that did not involve making people stand in the pouring rain, blocking 75% of the city at rush hour, for over ten hours.
THIS is not how you show support for anything. By making an issue as sensitive as this a political game, is not how you put in your two cents towards resolving it. THIS is why India should come a bi-party government. THIS is why coalition governments are more dangerous than the ones that are run by one party.
All you do DO is make people like me who believed there was hope, turn into bigger cynics.

fantastic. i tried to tone down my own fury but yours was spot on.
hypocritical little windbags.
though i speak now from the relative king of road protest cities.. TRIVANDRUM.. ok its a small city.. but heck u say ur having a rally coz u have a cold and 30000000000....0000 will show up to show their support... i was stuck in traffic for 5 hours the other day.. 1 waiting for the crowd to clear.. the rest trying to walk home :( .. crazy ppl these mallu's( including me ).. but hey.. rain.. human chain.. chennai traffic.. its deplorable.. they should do these things on public holidays .. when no ones on the roads.. and everyone can watch on TV and actually care .. not when ppl are rushin somewhere .. and dont give a shit for their life.. much less wat these ppl are protesting.. sthupits..
I don't see how the educated public is able to accept these kind of things. Why is it that we do nothing about it? I was furious too, but that's all I was... School kids from a school my aunt works at were stuck in traffic, and reached home at 8 - after having left their own school at 2..
My own friends from college were stuck for hours in overcrowded buses on our roads.
And the best part? A whole crowd of people didn't even know what they were protesting against.. TOI interviewed some people as to why they were protesting, and here's what they said.. 'India wants to acquire Srilanka'.. ?!!?!!
Where is this country going?!
TRY TO SUICIDE?
IT IS TRY COMMITTING SUICIDE!
Sis: Lol. I always say "try to suicide myself". It's supposed to be that way.
everyone else: thanks for being here.

considering the tone of the post, i think you are just not accepting the fact that you made a mistake.
Go check the archives babe. I've always used it.
