Aishwarya Rai married Abhihek Bacchan yesterday. Thousands of people came from all over to stand on the roads kept back by 500 security men. Hundreds of people protested against Richard Gere kissing Shilpa Shetty. Who are these useless people who have nothing better to do but to hang around outside Bacchan's house or march in procession for an absolutely stupid reason? Is India the only country in the world which is home to thousands of idiots? These must be the same people who drink and beat up their wives, breed half a dozen children and send them out to work to finance there drinking habit, force their wives to abort female foetuses and sell their under age daughters to middle aged men for Rs. 5000. These are also the people who do all the dirty work for politicians, cut down jungles and poach wild animals. They justify their dirty deeds by saying that they need money for food and so are not really responsible. They are ready to follow any politician for some money or a bottle of cheap liquor and ready to kill for a few thusand rupees. It is one thing to have criminal politicians but when you have thousands of mindless idiots who are ready to do anything no matter how illegal or meaningless then it is a frightening situation for the country. Is there any solution? Is the country going to survive without somehow eliminating these creatures?

Dr. Deb,
Firstly allow me to resort to some unmitigated flattery and say I love your blog- I've been regularly reading for the last couple of months and look forward to each new post.
However I suspect that in this particular you're being a bit hard on our people... to be fair, have you seen how many people in the US go to day baseball games and cheer while drinking too much overpriced beer DURING THE WORKING WEEK? stadiums that can keep 45,000 people are easily packed on a tuesday evening for a meaningless regular season game. 4000 people outside the bollywood marriage of the decade (century?) seems much too few by that yardstick.
Personally, i think all we need is a decent soccer, cricket and (say) hockey league. serve beer at the games, keep the ticket prices low. all these idiots will then be supporting sport instead of burning effigies...
