Bashing the bashers…

Alright, thanks to the encouragement on my return to blogging, I’m attempting it again, had started it while sitting home alone on a sunday while wifey attended the fashion week! Some job there! And now it’s already the next friday. time’s just flying, I tell you!

Thinking about what’s the easiest topic to get on to – something that would make me seem rather witty – and what’s easier than – bashing someone or something! Radio channels call it the band bajaana, murga banaana, or topi pehnana – basically having fun by mocking something!

So, whom to bash? Our times offer a bunch of rather interesting targets!

Rahul Gandhi? with his repeated demonstrations of being a political lightweight?

MMS for all the acts of commission and omission – or only the later, with his personal integrity staying intact through the process – as intact as a fishbowl in an earthquake! So what if the fish is dead…

Or the BJP and the saffron brigade – accused of bigotism , active to spew venom on the web but yet to step out of homes to cast a vote? Or their adversaries – the new age journos who trade their journalistic ethics for coffees with the royal family!

Or Anna’s Team – on the mission to change the country via hunger strikes and media blurbs – with plans of creating a 20,000 strong bureaucratic system to fight the systemic corruption in bureaucracy? Or, their adversaries, sitting on their PCs / Macs – spewing out argument after argument – as to why they’re not supporting Anna on the streets!

Or the makers of the policy that  defines Rs. 32 / day as the line above which separates the poor from the not so poor..

Sania bhabhi?

our bollywood heroes like Viveik Oberoi?

Just pausing for a moment’s break gave me Chetan Bhagat as an idea! Isn’t he a great bashable?

Ah well, it’s getting difficult to choose. No wonder, those who’ve made bashing their blog type – never run out of subjects!

But then, I need to identify bashables that would give me the best return on time invested. Something that a lot of people would love to bash.. (or bitch about ). So what’s it that you hate , so much that you’d (love) to bash it – in brackets.

Jobs – and how they take the dear siesta away from you..

Bosses and how they would like to take the night’s sleep also away from you..

Girlfriends.. who’d rather be in your dreams.. siesta or otherwise..

Marriages.. that makes all the above seem simpler?

Or let’s find something less cliched!

But well, now as I do this, I realize that bashing is an art in itself – packing enough potshots in a sentence to keep it intelligent! With this new found wisdom, I thank the bashers for having kept the art alive.

Alright folks, give me something – that you’d really love to see bashed! I assure you I’ll try my innovative best. Left to myself, I’ll end up taking panga with all the expert bashers – in the attempt to draw their attention and then soon bashed out of existence!

Maybe you could start with bashing this desperate attempt at keeping my writing frequency from dying!
