Stay Thirsty! Stay Famished!- Lifecycle of a Bottle


Stay Thirsty! Stay Famished!- Lifecycle of a Bottle


I am not going to cover any new topic in this post but continue with the old one in an elaborate manner as I was not able to fit the below in the previous posts properly... Machiavellianism ahead!

Sometimes I wonder how to explain human culture and its various sex dimensions (minus reproduction part) to a person who just suddenly appears amongst us and who has no empathy or who has no selfish gene or is one of Giorgio A. Tsoukalos’ “definitely ALIENS” or whatever… but here we go…

Initially all kids are born without bottles and there is no thirst only happiness and curiosity. As they grow up, girls and boys develop the concept of water as the thirst is first identified and slowly increases. Touch and Sight seems to be the general trigger for thirst. Soon the elders group around and assign a fancy bottle with their own labels and production process from their HOLY factory to each girl and guy with a rule DO NOT LOSE THE BOTTLE! From here the fun starts…

a.     Guys see the bottles as a burden and they wish to lose it at their first opportunity.

b.    Girls see the bottles as an “asset”. (You see the conflict starts right at the beginning :P)

c.     Bottles are NOT supposed to touch each other. Guys and girls are not supposed to talk about water or bottle with each other.

d.    Guys are not to go near elder girls’ bottles specifically.

e.     You are not to put all the bottles in a bag and ask whoever is thirsty to drink from any of the bottles. That is a gravely strict NO! The law of scarcity prevails!

f.     Guys keep tossing their bottles just to forego the responsibility of guarding it and their favorite place is to throw it into the girls’ camp. And they hope to drink water from any or all of the girls’ bottles.

g.    Girls keep throwing away other bottles as far as away from their bottle not even other girls’ bottles are allowed near. However they never lose their sight on their bottle even for a second.

h.     Guys who were playful, stupid and considerate beings suddenly become rebellious, insensitive, highly obsessed, damn-you-bottle humans.

i.      Girls who were very carefree and fun creatures suddenly become over-sentimental, over-cautious, manipulative, possessive-about-bottle humans.

j.      When a guy / girl manage to lose their bottles and start drinking water for a legit thirst from wherever water is available they are outcast with weird terms and signboards around their neck “man with loose bottle cap on the loose” or “woman with the bitcher-er awaits you…”

However mostly this is what happens…

k.     As time goes on both guys and girls start getting too obsessed about the bottle theory and they become so emotionally dependent on their bottles that you need not hit them left and right with a bat to hurt them. Instead you may merely gesture that you would like to hit their parents’ bottles for a six with your bat. That’s all it is required for a riot!

l.      Weirdly guys celebrate when they lose their bottles; many girls chose to cry when they lose it even for a minute. They wouldn’t even take it back if someone explains, “Hey! Look here is your bottle nothing happened! Stop crying!” All it takes is a bottle to limit her powers and talent. Thirsty, No happiness and No curiosity.

So when these two different species want to live together then what happens…? Love happens.

m.   In Pre requirement stage, people flaunt their bottles for comparison. There may even be wars on who has how many bottles or whose bottle is big or whose bottle resembles a factory prescribed shape.

n.     When people fall in love, they write love songs about others and a hell a lot of rulebooks about their bottles. Most of the time, the pure love which started their journey is destroyed by the disputes over the water bottles. When, How and who should touch which bottle becomes an unsolved equation for both these different species and they chose to hate each other.

o.    Both are not to carry any other bottle/drink water from any other source.

p.    Some even decide not to open their bottles until they are married, no matter how thirsty they are.

q.    Some just drink water, quench their thirst and try to drink it many times and if they realize that they do not like the others’ water anymore, move along with / without their bottle to the next person. Less thirst, Happiness, No curiosity.

After love, its marriage – no more straightforward talking is possible for both the species.

r.      In Pre requirement stage, people flaunt their unopened bottles to show how crystal clear and pure the water is. Very less value is given to the purity and nobility of their thoughts. Everything depends on a stupid bottle again.

s.     They keep searching for the right person with the right bottle to match because at this point the main pre-requisite for marriage is “Are you worth your bottle and your fiancé’s bottle waters combined?” and the other pre-requisite is money (now making an alien understand about this self-made blood sucking devil would run a hundred blog posts)

After finding the much hyped ONE

t.      Marriage ceremony by itself is a great anticlimax in which after all the fuss about forbidding people to drink water, lose their bottles and forcing everyone to be thirsty at the risk of death from dehydration, they perform simple meaningless gestures or tasks and suddenly ask you to go drink water, enjoy! If you always thought marriage would have been some highly scientific, meaningful, sophisticated, hardest, toughest thing to do and hence I was forced to be thirsty all my adolescent age, it is just an elder society’s way of playing an elaborate prank and telling “April Fool”. No rocket science there, just turn your bottle cap 3 times anticlockwise or put a ring on the bottle neck or change your bottle cap to a different colour or couple of signs on a paper, etc. But after this, they do not even tell you how to drink your water! At least they leave that to the couples’ instincts! Thank my Rowling!

u.     However one of them (mostly the husband) whose thirst is now equivalent to that of drinking a waterfall is shown an old water bottle! To insult him completely, she tells him not only to use two bottles to quench his thirst but also invites him for a bath together in those bottles of water.

v.     After marriages both bottles are taken and locked up safely and the key remains with the wife who doesn’t know that locking up his bottle doesn’t solve his thirst while her life completely starts revolving around those two bottles.

w.    Drinking water / new water container creation process should happen in a specific water storage unit. Especially there is a big NO NO if you are even remotely thinking about it in your HOLY factory. Imagine that, you are not to even think about creating new water containers in the very place where they came up with the fancy bottles your parents gave you and the HOLY factory CEOs where supposed to be the leading creators of this world. Forget about creating your container there! If the CEOs create, it is HOLY, but not for us. Fascism!

x.     Within / After few years they produce few little cups to hold water. They seek advice from their older leaking bottles about how to handle the water. These old bottles start a huge self-praising lecture about water being so sacred and how they poured and shared with each other when they were young bottles themselves. After listening to this, couples start filling up their little cups with their water theory while they spill a whole lot of water as the cup grows into a jug or some other water container. They believe their thirst reduces once they pour water into these cups but the guy has lost his valuable water molecules which could naturally make him thirstier!

y.     Soon you will see pictures of imperfect tiny cups in albums / social websites and others keep commenting, “Oh such a factory made 3d printed velvet touch unbreakable tiny cup!”

z.     Then mostly the husband bottle has tolerance issues. He finds it extremely frustrating when he has to perform a certain ritual every single time in order to persuade the wife bottle to have a drink together. Soon he will get to master his thirst or break his bottle and go searching for better bottles! Many times women bottles contribute to the problems of fellow women so easily.

aa.  Meanwhile, they put their little cups into the same cycle again. Guys being the selfish brutes themselves end up teaching their new little cups about how to stay thirsty because he is still thirsty and he definitely doesn’t want his kids to quench their thirst too! :D

bb.  If your daughter shares her water with a guy you don’t like, you beat him up and kill and bury your daughter and their bottles separately. Extremely thirsty / No thirst, No happiness, Lots of curiosity

While you are wondering why the fuss about a bottle 

cc.  Again, you will have the conservativ-tionists say - Only beasts should drink from the stream, lakes or rivers and swim in it. We humans are technologically and culturally advanced – as a proof of that we have over 7 billion sophisticated bottles- each bottle special and unique in its own way. And we should not think about the abundant FREE water bodies but live an esteemed life of drinking from an old stinking bottle.

dd.  People will also be invited to specific classes with expensive yearly subscriptions- To use your contextual and imaginative mind powers to replace the original water bodies with the all-important YOUR BOTTLE.

ee.  So while they listen and follow these conservativ-tionists and define their whole life by chasing a bottle and stay away from nature’s water bodies – you will discover the conservativ-tionists go scuba diving in the deepest oceans!

ff.    At the end, when they die and think they are free at last, few heartless brainless walking tumors will bury their bottle next to them for their future lives! Ensuring that even in their next life they will get the same recycled water bottle so that even in the next lifetime they can - Stay Thirsty! Stay famished!

At the end, the alien may ask, “Why don’t you folks throw the bottle away?” You look at him bewildered because that was a WHY question. You give the alien another chance, “Any other question?”

Alien might ask, “Where is this bottle you have been talking about? I don’t see it anywhere!”

Cool! Delivering the final punch, with a smile, “There is no water bottle. It is an inherited disease by the masses similar to visual Paranoid schizophrenia! The Bottle was never there. Humans seem to see it from their young age as their parents kept pounding it into their heads! We simply made it up!”

To be continued…

Meanwhile, for all girls who helped me write this up by contributing since my childhood, thanks and I have to say in gratitude I had a bottle for each of you in my bag just in case you lost yours. But you never asked: P

Stay Thirsty! Stay Famished!- Waterbottle Exaggeration


Stay Thirsty! Stay Famished!- Waterbottle Exaggeration

Read  Part I before you continue...

My great chemistry teacher once said – “You may answer many how's and what's but you cannot answer many why's!” So this is a difficult thing to proceed and especially with a taboo topic (even within couples). I have to come up with a reverse allegorical exaggeration to explain few everyday seconds in our human lives by using water and bottles.

            Imagine you ate huge amounts of salt and you slowly become thirsty. You are dry-thirsty, your tongues are cracking, you are panting and you can feel the dusty dryness on your throats and you do not drink water. Once you are thirsty, people give you a bottle full of water and ask you to carry it around but you are forbidden from drinking from it or any water for that matter. You follow this rule, not for few minutes, few hours, days, weeks or months but for years at least a decade. You only do empty swallows merely imagining you are drinking from a waterfall for the next 15 years. You’ve been brought up to believe that drinking water before marriage without a life partner is the worst thing in life. You too choose this suffering in the hope that when you actually get to drink the water with your partner both can enjoy it together without limits. But do not forget that you are thirsty every second of every hour, every day for more than a decade.

            But that is not the only pain you have to endure. People will start walking up to you and say – “You are selfish to want to drink water in the first place! Since it is a bad need / want that is unhealthy for this society.” You begin to wonder at this preaching and its validity all the while being thirsty. Just to revolt, you might entertain the idea of drinking the water with someone else but sooner you might wonder if my future water bottle partner would like the idea of me having drunk the water already. You debate about this problem within your mind your entire adolescent period (present v/s future) and unable to decide without knowing how your future water-sharer will react, you take a safe dangerous position – you remain THIRSTY.

            If this is not enough, society imposes more verbal rules as you grow –

a)     You are not allowed to talk about thirst. No questioning, nothing!

b)    You are not allowed to talk about drinking water either (without waiting for others) because that is not the fucking point of being thirsty

c)     You are not to mention about the thirst in a public place because suddenly all the thirsty people will blame they are actually not thirsty but you made them feel thirsty by mentioning either "thirst" or "water" or worse you “polluted” the whole environment with your water!

Once your questioning and speaking rights have been silenced, the philosophical folks jump in with their explanation for human thirst.

a)     Why cannot I drink water with anyone else who is thirsty? -> They will say it is not about your thirst / water but it’s about the availability limit of the water which makes us to come up with these rules.

b)    Sometimes they will say this is not ordinary water - if you drink it once your thirst may only increase more.

c)     If you drink it with more than one - it will contaminate the water and you may get a disease as well

Fine, you slowly outlast your thirst every day inch by inch and one day you find your pair (marriage!) with a water bottle. After so many such days of trying to figure a safe way to taste the water you suddenly end up with that one person who is authorized to relieve you of your thirst. If you are happy, meaning you are a good example of real life Mr. & Mrs. Focker, its fine! But what iffffff (just for some psychotic fun J)–

a)     Both of your bottles do not match in size (doesn’t matter whose is bigger)

b)    Your partner is not thirsty enough like you are. The partner needs just a sip and you’ve been thirsty for so long and so much thirsty that even a waterfall down your throat is not good enough

c)     Makes you feel guilty for being thirsty with the same reasons you’ve been brought up since your moment of puberty

d)    Brag to their friends about drinking water with you just twice a week. Shouldn’t it be a daily activity? an everyday chores for both of you? I hope there is a conversation like this one day between a husband and a wife after a fight -> Wife – “Don’t show your anger on food! Let’s eat.” Husband – “Don’t show your anger on water! Let’s drink :P”

e)     OR OR OR – both are so equally bloody thirsty and both your jug of water dries up!

What do you guys do when this is the norm? We search for answers wherever we find. We become multi-talented just to make us forget that thirst. We scare, fight, compete, invent, stay awake, pray and do a whole basket of nonsense to make ourselves forget the thirst which runs as an invisible thread process behind all our actions. We drool on like this for maybe couple of more decades and most of us will die without their thirst quenched for sustainable amount of time and still trying to safeguard the stupid jug of water for the moment we can drink it with the ONE.

We are fighting against the thirst, a millennia of un-evolving traditions, illogical non solution oriented society and of course an entire generation where even watching free flowing water is scarce and illegal compared to bottled overpriced packaged water which is illegal to possess in few regions of the world... even the places it is legal to possess you have the tradition of ONE to follow and the ONE may charge you very dearly for dreaming about water. Worse, half of them are not at all thirsty but after taking two sips with you, they say Look I had water for you and with you only so beware you stick to your ONE rule no matter how thirsty you are. After all this they are called as the side which sacrificed and men are the thirsty mindless heartless zombies. But you should know few of us don’t care about anything after a while and they just go ahead and drink water no matter the source and no matter the company. But many of us, just die of a thirst - a feeling by then we realize has neutralized our senses to urge us to drink, a forgotten feeling gone numb.

Women are oblivion to this sacrifice we make. Funnily no one seems to care about our thirst nor our sacrifice: D. Worse, slowly the water and thirst have been categorized into a guilty pleasure from a basic human need and if we do not wake up, who knows it might even be slowly turned into a legal punishable act of the severest kind (It is already so by my college rules!). It is been looked upon as a polluting commodity similar to a plastic bag that everyone uses but no one talks about and everyone wishes it decomposes sooner. Will the situation change if we convert this plastic into a multi useful, instant bio degradable, natural fertilizer and make it cheap? Will the controlling people let us do that? It is a wild guess!

But until then spare some thought for your poor husbands ;-). With a thirst similar to the sucking power of a blackhole, they show such a control on their feelings. They work, protect, serve, solve issues and sometimes help you out in kitchen as well and despite all this no songs are written by his kids for him but rather to his wife! You only see Mom songs and poems everywhere - माँ मेरी माँ प्यारी माँ Mumma OR காலையில் தினமும் கண் விழித்தாள் (I start my day with this song: p) Even then, he will fight with his kids stating –“my mom is better than your mom! Boo!” and starts dreaming about his MOM song (his dad is nowhere in his thoughts!)

Motherhood though is the greater gift for sure, has its limitations as well. I mean, men restrain their thirst with their controlling switch. Women too have a similar switch to switch ON/OFF love. Yes, women have the capability to love and care infinitely but under the blanket of motherhood you see most of them preserve this gift for their families ALONE and are obsessed about it. I mean women sometimes are so lost many times that they misuse their superpower to separate their husbands from his friends, parents, passion and duty to this society. They preserve and over care for their kids at the cost of others’ kids, families and lives. Their self-obsession has no limits (here self refers to her family). Is it the only way motherhood can be showered effectively and efficiently? I wish there are better examples in our lives.

At least at the end, I need to tell why men and women like sex so much? Here is a cool TED talk that gives you a simple and brilliant answer. Enjoy folks!


In addition, how do guys value all the above things? Below is a summarized graphical representation of things I couldn’t put into proper words so I drew what was in my mind.


In case you are not able to connect to the graph, consider this –
a)     Graph represents Value / Worth of different people / aspects. It does not mean his priorities nor his thoughts or actions. (For eg. If a bitter lover seeks him for help at the same time his friend seeks a help, he may or may not help his friend. But the value for his friend in his mind might always be above his bitter lover)

b)    Judge a man by his friends is the rule here. Everything revolves around how he values friendship. Everything is above / below that. If he doesn’t value good friends, the chance is he wouldn’t value you greatly either.

c)     Dislike girls – Normally experienced by guys during their school / college days. Especially when they are not able to handle the selfish mean ones.

d)    Due to graph overcrowding, couldn’t afford to represent few things like – Parents, Religion, Money, Passion, etc

Decipher the rest yourself! Until then - Stay Thirsty! Stay Famished!

Protect Love

Protect Love
I lost my sleep last night. They loved each other. She gave up everything to be with a guy who was just 19. He married her. He did not force her into slavery. He did not force her into prostitution. He did not rape her. He did not blackmail her parents’ for their ‘so-called’ wealth. He did not leave her on the streets after few days. He did not harass her. He lived with her with full optimism and only hope as their impartial companion. He found a way to be safe in a different city and ensured safety for his wife. All I see here is TRUE LOVE. Sad they had to run away from their homes but why would anyone do that? That’s because there were so many inequalities set within the system. My major inequality is regarding the law angle here. Why should the Women’s marital age be different from that of Men? If you think, a man is not eligible to get married at the age of 20, why and how can the girl be eligible in any case to get married at 18?

            When I hear people talk about this case in trains (yes, at least we still discuss current affairs) or read about it in twitter, FB pages. I keep hearing a criticism they were immature. Wait a second, do we know what the hardships he went through to fall in love, make a relationship happen, brew trust such that a girl (who is not immature) to believe in him completely, find a way to marry her, negotiate so many financial and personal blockades to live in Chennai, not exploit anyone else and avoid being exploited by bad folks, be compassionate enough to state that he does not dislike his mother in law and among many other things - FACE INDIAN MEDIA and INDIAN POLITICIANS eye to eye when the whole state is debating their personal intimate decisions after a district is left ravaged by caste bigotry and the burden of his Father-in-law’s suicide to be handled emotionally within the couple’s limited privacy. Can anyone say ‘he is Immature’? (Sorry! he WAS immature)? For those who carelessly comment on online news website – “Why can't people just marry within their castes? These types of incidents can be avoided. People do marry outside their castes without thinking, and cause disharmony within all communities. We cannot go against mother nature.” I would like to say why did not the girl’s father think – “what will happen if I commit suicide? Will the marriage be undone? Will there be any communal riots if I commit suicide due to this issue? Will there be innocents killed because of my act?....” I honestly believe the girl’s father was IMMATURE to commit suicide at his age, even though he might not have foreseen the riot. Wasn’t he the IMMATURE person? Couldn’t he have had more faith and courage to face the issue in a matured manner? Even we can argue on the other side, will that solve the issue of Free will and freedom of any soul who cares if they are minors or majors?

                Meanwhile, I was all the while admiring the courage of the guy to stand before the camera and be strong through all the stupid questions asked at him by everyone around. I was wondering how he will be protected after all this. Especially, if you know a political party is after you, anyone including the hardcore criminals goes underground. But this guy was always standing there alone; don’t you think he was not brave enough? (I know few creepy minds will say he was FOOLISH) IGNORE THEM! I believe I know what he was thinking – a fact every guy who had to elope normally goes through – “I did not do anything wrong. I was forced to do few things but they were not wrong. I will fight for my rights and I will stand by my decision.” In a country where our election leaders forget what they say, what they preach and what their ideals stand for, you find a genuine person there. Was being truthful to his emotions so detrimental? How long are we going to continue to judge others by the actions that we DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOR CARE ABOUT?
Let me be clear about my frustration, I am writing here not because of a boy of a certain caste got killed. NO! I am writing here because even in 2013 people cannot live with love and happiness. In this open world, we are still bound by archaic mindsets. We still wish that all our problems will vanish and we can restart a new life tomorrow. We all wish that I want to just close my eyes and my ecosystem gets restored, beggars outside my street vanish, someone will speak about equality and give me my due respect and dignity and when I open my eyes your wish will come true. For our sake, I have to tell you the truth – even amongst all the tons of crazy fairy tales, genius level epics and thousands of religious stories NOT ONE mentioned that things happen by someone’s mere wishes. You may pray as long as you want. Being a part of star dust myself, I guarantee you – Your wish has nothing to do with reality.
You do not get to see any other major parties, religious institutions, communities coming forward to raise voice against the honor crimes. Folks, I have to say if any person does not understand love they are not human, how do you expect a party to have any value if it cannot even tolerate free love?
I am here not for a party, not for a caste, definitely not for a religion, never for a race or class representation. I am writing this blog for the sake of LOVE and whoever has the courage to love. I am here for LOVE and LOVERS. Turning the angle about lovers, we see so many puking faces at the mention of their “types”. Why? Their standard criticisms as follows –
Cheating angle –> who cheats who? We should bring up our kids with proper exposure to all ideas and teach them most of our experiences. No one can stop someone from falling in love whether they are kids, adolescents, adults, married, single, straight, old or on death bed. You just equip your kids with the knowledge to handle things as per their wish. Educate, share experiences and let your kid grow up in a smart, loving environment. They will be better off then. Do not hide your laziness while blaming it on the real fraudsters.
Divorce -> Another major criticism is that people do love marriages and end up in divorces. Even though I am not a happy person when it comes to divorce issues, but doesn’t divorce actually represents the concept of Love marriage itself? You choose who you want to be with or without! So I am not surprised by Love Marriage couples ending up in divorce. However, I do not understand the divorce in an arranged-marriage couple. Weren’t you supposed to go with it and be understanding, compassionate, “develop love” (as if it can happen always, it happens rarely), all after knotting and sleeping together? Weren’t you supposed to trust your parents and just go with it? Why the double standard? Government and others see divorce as an anti-social thing. It is not. It is the prime indicator of freedom in a society. A woman especially with kids opting for divorce represents she is bold enough not to tolerate bullshit and is equipped enough to thrive on her own with her own rules. She still has the hope in her heart to strive for a better future, greater love, sex and a wider family. So let us focus on equipping young guys and girls with such powers.
Immaturity angle -> I can handle and understand the immaturity (whatever that is) shown by young lovers. But no one should digest the immaturity shown by so called “mature” in the wake of coming up with ridiculous reasons to oppose love.
Nuisance angle -> Phew! We look at rotting rivers, open manholes, garbage dumps, few politicians, etc and turn our heads and go. We do nothing about it. But when it comes to PDA, lovers holding their hands or doing real adult stuff on public places, we all arise in unison. Protest! Damage public properties… Vote for parties which say I will not let mannequins wear underwear! What is so wrong in seeing love, showing love, exhibiting love? I still cannot comprehend.
Cause Disharmony -> Who exactly causes disharmony, the lovers? How? We should realize that couples by themselves do not sit around, plot in the darkness or hire goons to cause disharmony. It’s always their parents who do all the disharmonious things. Parents and other elders should approach any adolescent love issues, early age marriages, teen age births in matured manner (which to be honest many parents these days do – they do deal with it patiently and maturely) But however, in this case the exceptions somehow always seem to have a raised voice and better limelight regarding their digressions. Why not actual parents who have dealt with these things in real life or close quarters come up and educate others how to handle these issues in civilized manner? Once again, we find the elders of our society lacking in being proactive.
Yes! This post is a one sided argument. I scourged the web and found no one wrote what I felt at my heart and thus I restarted my blogging career from where I left off at InfyBlogs! Believe in Love, Worship only Love, Fight for Love, Teach Love, Exhibit Love, Let everything else fall and most of all please LOVE.
