I love hypocrisy

I was awakened by the sudden shake of my father. “Konthai get up. Shankaracharya is giving a discourse. It is always good to start a new year with God’s blessings”. I yawned and nodded. Gave a blank look at the TV for 5 mins and went back to bed.

My family along with millions in India are closely associated with religious beliefs. But you can’t brand us as superstitious. We are clever bastards you see. I follow the code of conduct to some extent. I’m open to all religions unless I’m forcibly baptised... a friend to none which implies I’m a friend to all.

But I’m disturbed a lot in the temple…not by the Phallus but its worshippers. People preach, propagate and plead for the principles which they breach within the wink of an eye when they are out of the premises.

Keep the premises clean – but spit, vomit, urinate and defecate outside
Drop thousands inside the collection box – but don’t spend a pie for the person in need.
Don’t take meat during auspicious days – but get the animal kingdom on the plate for the rest of the days.
Talk about the society in India – but do the talking from a safe distance … and I’m quite far
You must respect another human being – but make sure the human is from your religion, caste, color & region.
Vulgarity has increased in Indian cinema – But you know ‘Virginity is not dignity, it is lack of opportunity’ is cool quote

I’m standing right in front of my pee and I’m complaining about the smell.

Why should I?
I’m not accountable for the act, you know …
Umh… I’m not the only one.
Everyone does it.
Why shouldn’t I?
I’m far better than the others who pee at the next person’s feet.

I comfortably choose one of the sentences above and continue my life.
