seriously, I fail to see what is so laugh-out-loud-able about a 3-month-old's missing penis. If you consider that his mother actually paid a man to chop it off--double O and 7, Junior and the Twins (whatever colourful way you could possibly understand this)--you would be shaking in your boots and grabbing your balls just to make sure they are still intact.

They haven't bitten off that much. Most of it is froth.

'corper' is a general noun around here used for corps members. The paramilitary setup is actually known in full as National Youth Service Corps, kind of like national military service in the US or Ghana.

I feel so good to hear you actually read all 25 days of the journal. I feel great to have shared this with you. Thanks.

but, really, I havent seen any of your works lately. You still blog, dont you?

Keep in touch!

The problem with swearing these days is kids and teenagers use it just because they think it makesthem appear big, without even understanding the true meaning of the word.

I prefer Eighteenth century English swearing myself, colourful terms like, "shittenly crackfart" or scablouse are much more fun. And of course it being the Eighteenth century such words were dressed up in elaborately crafted insults.

Modern swearing lacks style.

Wow sanjules, what an extraordinary experience at the paramilitary camp! I assure you I read all 25 days of your journal.

I presume 'corper' is the shortened term for corporal. The PT régime and unrealistic hours were dehumanising. Glad the corpers got the better of the commandant.

The competitions, pageants and sports tournaments would have made up for the hell that many of the civilian students suffered.

You must have been one of the strongest to have found the endurance trek so enjoyable.

Hi Sanjules
I found the capital letters difficult to scan, but I persevered.

Brent crude has fallen almost US$3 a barrel to $64.89 since late last week, after an agreement by International Energy Agency states to kick in emergency stocks.

Prices at petrol pumps in NZ are still sky-high and everyone is grumbling. Taxes from our oil surcharge are used on roading. What happens to petrol tax in Nigeria?

The hooligans who demand protection money sound as bad as the Italian mafia or the thugs preying on the weak in the aftermath of Hurrican Katrina in New Orleans.

If you think about it, the Hindus gave us the Kama Sutra, and what about those erotic carvings found all over the sub continent.
Perhaps the horbyfication of Bollywood is evidence that India has as last completely shaken off the dead hand of the British Raj.

Hi there,
Its not just Indians who do that, I have had such experiences with people from all over the world! The first thins they want to know is your sex and then whether your are single. The moment they know you are married or something, they just disappear like gadhe ke sar se seeng (its an indian saying, meaning like horns from a donkey's head).
I am an Indian and have never given a damn about these things. But maybe because ours is a populous country, Indians are proportionately more frequent to find online. A handful of people cant make or break a nation's image at least for me, and unless you have been to a place yourself you won't know what the people there are really like.

In response to:why kick against arranged marriages

Tue, 05 Jul 2005 12:09:37 +0200

Agree with you about arranged marriages but I would somehow prefer to know the person I am marrying to rather than having a total suspense unfold on my wedding night!!
When I say know the person, I dont mean physical intimacy. Courtship doesnt always consist of "bouncing bodies...." stuff, especially you live in India.
How can you agree to spend your entire life with someone without having talked to them? Its very important to know if think at the same wavlength, and whether you could be friends before coming lovers or husband-wife. After all that raw passion will fizz out after some years and the only thing that will kwwp you together is your love that grows out of friendship and understanding. In arranged marriage, by the time you start to understand the person, you already have had kids and before you realise you are not compatible mentally, its far too late. The reason why divorces were rare in India because couples were used to compromises, either because of social stigma with divorce or because they had kids.
The bottomline is whether it is a "pyaar ki shaadi" or an arranged marriage, the foundation should be trust and understanding rather than raw passion or a suspense.

Arranged marriages, acceptable within some cultures are totally repugnant in others.

We believe that girls should be career minded after college and not have the threat of early marriage and pregnancies hanging over them.

For a woman, choosing her own partner and marrying on a more mature basis can mean contributing intelligently, power sharing within the family unit and controlling circumstances of her own life.

So where there are arranged marriages it's OK for a male to lose his virginity beforehand, and like a bull in a paddock, go on for heifer after heifer!

a critical writeup meant for the prophets of old, not the modern-day prophets with the worst form of ignorant followers. well, my regards to those that care to take a glance at the beautiful piece of writeup.

Interesting stuff. I often argue with American fundamentalists at a site I use, they demand absolute adherence to the literal truth of the Bible and hate any questioning of the idea that humans are created solely for the purpose of glorifying God.

I am going to link one of my posts there to this item.
