Clash of the Titans
The right to protest is indeed a fundamental right...but shud it be trampling on the right of free movement of others??Its tiring na, hearing pros and cons of hartals and bandhs and still everytime one of those are called or uncalled for, u juz feel depressed! I mean while at school and college, it was really fun....but after that what fun u can have sitting at home and not able to roam about, worried that the next flying object is gonna land on ur windshiled or ur head, depending on mode of transport. Then why is that our so-called leaders resort to such pre-historic means of protest??well its juz for that....u need to be poked and shown ur place to realise that they are protesting for u....and wat u do in return???keep on complaining...so why dont we juz forget about it and move on...well thats when the latest form of protest caught the attention of the media....An young American blogger decided to protest against a cleric's statement that earthquakes are caused by women who dont dress modestly, how, well by asking fellow women to wear dresses showing their cleavage on the 26th. Over 200,000 women joined her and strutted their stuff and lo next thing u know Taiwan is rocked by a massive quake. Well she was shaken, but not stirred. She had called her protest "boobquake" and in protest against that there was another group calling themselves "brainquake"calling on women to show off their résumés, CVs, honors, prizes, and accomplishments. OMG!! so u see there are many ways to protest....juz need to choose the right form.....now those who are in any way offended by the above, dont protest against me...juz sharing protests!!dream on...........

Hi Sangeeth,
Iam haunting for words to even write this comment.
Good Write-ups. Caught up with ur earlier articles only today. Appreciate the flow. Good way of putting ur thoughts across ( though initially thought u were a bit introvert). Keep the good work going.
I can see the budding columnist......
Is that u Kavitha? grinning from ear to ear
Thank u Kala! its really the encouragement from Kavi which had me going...hope to get ur feedback in future 2
Good work Sangi. I have a different opinion regarding the people welcoming hartals and bandhs in Kerala. Records show that the sales of liquor and chicken is maximum on the days prior to bandhs. So people have sort of resigned to their fates and started enjoying such opportunities!!
Biju, Thanz for that valid point. So guess all r happy, the govt., the opposition and the people!!
damn... i wish i was in taiwan to watch that protest
Well AK, the majority of protests took place in US, but yeah, lota guys juz waiting for the next similar protest!
