CHUMMA letter To a not so Open Madrasan

in reply to http://raagshahana.blogspot.com/2011/09/open-letter-to-delhi-boy.html?spref=fb

With love from PIG - Pretty Indian Gurl!

It seems blogs have become a place for verbal diarrhea an extended version of a personal hate journal instead of an intelligent place to communicate real issues.  


P.S. I tried to write in as much acerbic language as your own and make all typo and spelling & punctuation errors and kill all formatiing, for your ease of reading... considering you have given us readers quiet a painful read.

Ennada Girl! Idhu enna? Still reeling under culture shock?

Indhaa

Do you even know the origin of your own name, SHAHANA???!!!... You think it’s just a Muslim name? ROFL let me enlighten you a bit more. Look up Indian ragas. It’s also a Hindustani Classical Raga. Yes Hindustani. Created by Amir Khusrau of DELHI, YES OF DELHI...before you go changing your name, it is also sung in Carnatic. I'm sure you know what it means.

And thank you for tempting me into getting down into creating a space in the muck of north south divide, cause I believe sometimes to clean up some issue I have to get down on ground level.

----------

First of all. I am a Delhi-ite, not a northie, not a southie and I'm not a man / boy or anything close to it. I should love sitting on the fence watching you two typicals hurling your dahi vadas and medu vadas at each other. I should love your man hating spits, but I actually don't.

Cause I know girl, you too will come around to it and get hooked to one boy, irrespective of who he is ( I am counting on your parent's good sense that they won't do a community matrimony search) he will probably be as idiosyncratic and full of typical regional bahavior, from any part of the world. I hope you will addjest to that.

But I will make a comment on your write-up Because starting from a delhi boy..to cars to colleges, you have painted with a broad brush any and sundry that you couldn’t adjust to in Delhi

Ungalukku ethanai vayasu?

I see you have very few blogs. And very early in your writing stage you have learned the ropes that to get maximum hits and comments you need to drop the communal north vs south, OR the Arya  vs Dravida munnetra kazhagam angle OR the man vs woman angle, OR the harassment vs racism angle.

And you begin your write-up with a comment on Autistic children, giving an impression that you know a lot about them.


Enakku udambu sari illai. 

The fact of the matter is by the end of the article the reader gets to know that you know nothing about anything. Yet you manage to get immense publicity. How fake is that? Holding a candle march in blogdom.

Paaraattukkal

You almost resemble the plastic dialogues of a Miss India Wannabe, who beats her chest I'm a daughter of the country, yet I am rooted to one state and hate the other states, if they are a bit different from me.

You run the risk of being accused of big time attention seeking...LOL

Nee epadi thoongina?

You can rave rant write anything on your blog, but I seriously doubt your compassion levels that you make fun of 'the intelligence levels of an autistic 3 year old'. you need a serious dose of reality shocks to energize your sensitivity that is plummeting south.

Pray how are you any different from the ones you hate so much? Do read your piece, darling you have been dragged into the slime of racism and you are wallowing in it, which is actually a self flagellation of your own ego, instead of holding your head high above it.

Enga irunthu Vanda?

BTW all the southie women you could count on your finger are those actresses, pretty face, botox... plastic surgery hmph! could you come up with some more akin Sunita Williams or Kalpana Chawla. Actually they are all brainless Jat women from Chandigarh as you say. Some north Indian Farmer's daughters from HARYANA.

Or you could come up with some more southie Alumni of LSR, akin to Aung Sang Syu kyi, or maybe someone like

Vinita Bali, CEO, Britannia Industries

Shalu Chadha, CEO, Accenture

Naina Lal Kidwai, CEO, HSBC India

OH BTW MG the princi of LSR is also a southie. So is Geeta Chandran, Yamini Reddy, Shriya Saran, I could go on and on...

Enakku vazhi theriyala.

You have tried very hard to add humor, but the joke is actually going to be all on you in some time. Because any secular Indian will see traces of community bashing, and DMK sympathizing fanaticism in your rant.

And your broad-based fame teetering on comments in FB and twitter will soon make you the laughing livestock of blog-dorm. Forget about the catele class, a few 1000 boos will do you good. 

Any serious writer will see the flaws in your prose and only Chetan Bhagat, again another non-southie could be the only person to sympathize with your chick-lit. :-)

Surprisingly your fixation, like your Delhi boy has not moved up further from his cleavage.
Mannikkanum! Thirumba sollunga?

You have obviously had a very bad brush with a select lot of Delhi brat-pack members, where? In Malls, cinema halls. People choose to stick to people and places who they are magnetically attracted to. So on the risk of being judgmental, THAT speaks a lot about you too.  

It seems you have spend very little time in Delhi and have seen very little of it. thus it has become "alpa vidya bhayankari"... oops! that's Sanskrit not Bangla actually... whom you Southies are so FOND OF making FON OF.

Why don't you join Sulekha dot KAUM. its a great place where a bunch of lower vindhyachali peeepuls -- hwoo rwoll up their lower baady skirts yand ged togather to simbly do inane northie bashing... and have already split Tamilnadu varchuaallee vitriolically into a separate state from The Republic of India.

With all due respect to your Fauji Father, you've been thru too many schools but too little real education. Skimming the surface, not diving deep enough, keeps you floating. 

Your problem is you have too much expectation out of anything. People, places, life, love.

Onnum prachanai illai. better luck next time

I advice, learn to live and love without expectation, you'll be surprised at what you get.

You say you are a Buddhist. Try to imbibe the "respect all living creatures" teaching of Buddha.

Instead of picking up on other people's faults, it would do you good to write some substantial stuff to help your lot, if you think you are really having difficulty finding your niche' in Delhi.

Believe me every non-south-Indian I know has faced blatant racism in terms of food, attire and language in the 4 states of south... but with tolerance and humour (that's not a wrong spelling.. its THE queen's English BTW) they have made it possible to live in a very hostile southie environment.

Your predicament of not feeling accepted is because you are trying too hard and choosing the wrong people to mix with. 

Grow up. Travel. Take of blinkers and send home your baggage in the next Dakshin Express  

Parava Illa, Poittu Varen, Nallathu

Oh I'm not abusing I just told her 'you are welcome', 'Good bye' and 'good luck'.
