The two grand narratives interlocked

Manipulation,
The only bigger thing than life
Just to make believe that life
Is wonderful.

In a farm cultivating
Shit i search for corn
The same colour it might be
But distinct are the tastes

Letting people mess with
My head for sure joy of going
Insane. Instantly is madness... But one
That brings joy

-Abhishek

Mess with my head, for all I care
I know the spirit behind the messing
But mess with my values, and then don't stand
And stare
At the wall, When I'm not there.

-Kanasu

It feels brilliant to know that there is something,
If just something
That you cant work at,
No matter how hard you try
And no matter what you do
Somethings can never
Ever belong to you.

-Kanasu

ONE sewage system

its all about perspectives:

An apple
red.

An apple
fruit

An apple
To explain 'A' in baby nursery

An apple
a day keeps the doctors away

An apple
The Da vinci code-you know it

An apple
Ten things to make of it

And you expect the historical record of a sewage system in Rama's days to have one explanation?

You should really think twice before you talk.

The sewage right to be free

the boy was running again...
this time behind freedom.
he was tired. of the running and the panting
and freedom said come to me
but he didnt know the way
and he didnt care
thats why he found it i think...
it was funny because he had to run
to catch something
that he wanted to run away from
that is what we all do, don't we?
run behind stuff that we run behind,
from stuff that we wanna get away from...

and he realised what an important social document the toilet paper had become
and how important it was to look at the aggregates!!!

One of the things on igoogle...

things to ponder about: Is atheism is a non-prophet organization?

THE GRAND NARRATIVE

You know how the blog began! I had to do a paper on The Ramayana and its functional capabilities and I refused to do it because it did not have a SO WHAT??? question. When I gave up and tried to ask Abhishake what I should do for my paper which was due for submission in three days, he said I had to dig deeper into the foundations of the human mind; sorry, the foundations of the house, leading to the sewage system and so on... You know the rest if you've followed our blog... I mean clog... The bathroom, sorry, brain is clogged! Ha, so where was I?

The paper. Yes, the paper. I refused to attack the sewage systems of the glorious "Dwapara Yuga" in which our dear friend Rama lived, and consequently, the So what question disappeared into thin air, along with the topic.

So, I'm wondering, what should now happen to the clog... sorry, blog?

Discovering the drainage systems of ancient India... What an ideal to achieve...

PS: I forgot to tell you why its called the Grand narrative. Since My fellow blogger refused to give me an authentic topic, I had to fall back on my teacher. Who told me about the grand narrative and how postmodernist theory does not accomodate the notion of grnand narrative. So, would this be a historic recording (or sub-altern history recording) of the grand narrative that told the tale of the toiletting practices of ancient India?

The "other" again

Since we have brought up the issue of the "other" anyway, let us dig deep into the foundations of subaltern history to find the "other" of the pot. If the pot is one way of doing it, how does the other way of doing it come into existence? Does it evolve from doing it on the forest floor to doing it inside a pot and hence, does the notion of something that is not a pot become primitive and un-universal and anti-colonial? Now I know why Arrow of God became so popular. They were all talking about their toiletting habits!
