Weird Logic !

Wow..here goes the news, three dumb ass terrorists hanged themselves in Guantanamo and media is going nuts over the incidence. United Nation wants the prison to be closed and so does the host of ‘human rights’ organizations. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Afghanistan asked US to release their citizens from the prison. Wait a minute! Aren’t we talking about terrorists here? These three terrorists tried to kill Americans. Their motive is not limited to kill Americans but they want to kill every non-Muslim. Their objective is to make the whole world Muslim and for that they will behead everyone. But when they publicly behead people, it seems that human rights activist, the UN and E.U. thinks that it’s the terrorist’s god given right. It is written in Koran that you have to behead your enemy. Every non-Muslim is their enemy. So by beheading them, they are not violating human rights but fulfilling scripture.

If you capture them, if you keep them in secluded jails then it is gross abuse of humanity. How can we treat terrorist like that? My suggestion is to send all UN officials and human rights activist to Iraq and enjoy the pleasantries with terrorist. The mawkish idea of Humanity that UN, human rights activist and E. U. professes makes me puke. If they really care so much then where the hell they were when Khmer rouge massacred one third of Cambodia’s population?; Rwandans killing one million of their own population?; Russian gulags in last 50 years? How about Mao’s Cultural Revolution that wiped out at least million people off earth? How about Idi Amin killing incessantly in Uganda?

But I guess that’s fine. All these massacres were done with good intentions. In fact, even terrorist have good intention. But Americans - naaah! They are imperialist bastards. They want to rule the world with capitalism. Strange logic!

I am in no way justifying American war. Iraq war is more about oil and economy than about freedom. But America is a sole superpower right now and these knucklehead Islamic terrorist punched them in the guts really bad. So, expect the backlash! America has all rights to round up suspected terrorist and put them in the jail. I wish they put all Saudis and Pakistanis in the Guantanamo too.

The leitmotif of human rights that E.U. and UN professes lacks conviction because E.U. is grappling with the Islamic problem in its backyard and the laws they are coming up to counter this problem puts E.U. in more gaucherie situation. And about UN, well, words of a failed institution are as useless as the institution itself.

My Writing II

Writing is not an easy task for me. Specially, when I have to write in English. I was decently good writer in my mother tongue but it is unfortunate that in India, it is seen as a sign of backwardness to write in one’s own mother tongue. Observing my writing, I realize that sometimes it carries an impression of the material I am reading. For instance, if I am reading Dr. Radhakrishnan, my writing tend to be more flowery, more explanatory with long sentences. If I am reading Naipaul then my writing will be a bit sarcastic, usually dark and of course with long sentences. I guess, these long sentences is a British style. In any case, I don’t attend iota of intellectuality and lucidity of Dr. Radhakrishnan or fluency of self-expression of Naipaul. Even with their impression I distinctively remain an amateur writer.

I was sad when I realized this. Does that mean I am not original? Does that mean I won’t be a good writer ever because I don’t have my own style? I don’t know. My expression is unique in a way because they are amalgamation of various readings and activities I do or intend do. All though my thoughts are original, I would not dare to suggest that they are first of its kind. They echo a certain rational. They follow certain logical thinking line. I rarely write about my personal life and usually focus on world affairs. So through writing, rather than concentrating on eloquence of language, I attempt to get my thoughts across the board.

Whenever I try to write on certain topic, numerous thoughts, facts, viewpoints suddenly start gushing in my mind. It becomes impossible task even to start. Because, most of the world affairs are interconnected and when people fail to understand the correlation, either I feel dumb with my rhetoric’s or feel frustrated at lack of understanding.

I guess writer has to decide his intended audience and then make sure that his writing style will attract them. I can’t write a romantic story because I can’t describe beauty vividly. But, what I can do, is to write about current affairs either in inflammatory style or in more relaxed and yet suggestive way. Today’s media usually presents on the one side of the spectrum. I try to present the other spectrum by writing between the lines. I hope I will get better in it.
