Read this amazing article by Ravi Zachariah. It took me a while to finish it. So I urge u to read it whenever u have time. It gives an insight into the level of cultural deterioration we have landed ourselves into, so gradually, that the severity of the consequences are going unnoticed and ironically even questioning its occurance is considered foolish.

Here’s a little something that I particularly liked. “Hitting the nail on the head” kinda thing.

“First dentistry was painless.
Then bicycles were chainless,
Carriages were horseless,
And many laws enforceless.

Next cookery was fireless,
Telegraphy was wireless,
Cigars were nicotineless,
And coffee caffeineless.

Soon oranges were seedless,
The putting green was weedless,
The college boy was hatless,
The proper diet fatless.

New motor roads are dustless,
The latest steel is rustless,
Our tennis courts are sodless,
Our new religion–godless.”
(Arthur Guiterman, “Gaily the Troubadour”)

Home is Home. Wherever it is. Last year it was vizag, now its cochin. Have come to terms with it. I don’t bear a grudge against this place anymore. It somehow faded away. I didn’t conciously attempt it, just happened. But I still LOVE vizag.
