Letter to mussolini.

A letter to mussolini from an teen admirer  of his.


The Estimable Mr. Benito Mussolini

To what do I owe the honour of being posed this question by Your Excellency himself? Indeed, such leaders as you have more pressing matters to attend to than inconsequential questions from such plebes as me. Deviating thus from the ostensible votaristic reaction that seemed to sully my first sentence, I must proceed to answer your question in good faith.

With a soul that quakes with fear at the very thought of disobliging you, I must command all the courage at my disposal to reveal to you that, while it is not for me to answer on behalf of my fellow plebes, I do most certainly not admire either you or the Fuhrer. Times, as you can unquestionably behold in person, have changed, and even by the generally racist paradigms of the early twentieth century, Hitler’s conduct had been morbidly beyond redemption. While the aversion towards you appears considerably benign in comparison, I derive the general impression that you are not highly regarded either, with one of the pop culture television series going so far as to describe a movie antagonist as the ‘Asgardian Mussolini’. That seems to be the best allegory so far from those who know you. In India, there seems to prevail an apathy and ignorance of you, whereas some sections seem curiously interested in Hitler’s autobiography while not truly exalting him. I had best not bordered the realm of apostasy against you by means of elaboration on how sordid both of you must appear to the average morality of the twenty-first century.

Most assuredly, however, I have the effrontery to so say not out of any sentiment of perfidy towards you but out of a sincere desire to see you command once again the respect of people the world over. That, I deferentially submit, is best achieved not through terror but unfeigned popular appeal.

That you have discerned the momentousness of posing a question on this blinkered question-and-answer website of repute is testimony to your estimable intellect, but I must with deference recommend greater tact with regard to your name, lest an author pen a flippant answer in response to a question from you, feigning his undying fidelity towards you, most unlike me.

Yours Baroquely

Vijay

Why there's no prom in Indian schools?

First of all , let's see what's prom is .  A prom is a ball or formal dance at a school or college, especially one held at the end of the academic year for students who are in their final year, the sophomores. And it has students bringing dates along with them. Boys and girls in school are supposed to ask each other out to be there prom partners. (Do you think any Indian parent will allow two people of opposite gender to be this close to each other?) This is what happened when this seemingly inappropriate posters of a telugu film called arjun reddy released  Look at how the so called cultural saviors are vandalizing  the public property just because that poster is a threat to their glorious culture (sarcasm). Now, as to why there is no prom concept in India? The reason is-: Most of the people in India are very conservative and talking and hanging out with opposite sex is generally looked down upon by the society it is said to cause distractions...

Rant (1)

  I stumbled onto this girl's profile, her bio read:   “Don't text me if you're not 6′1”   Her Display picture? The closest I could find in two minutes:                                                              Just a random pretty girl adding her personal preferences for dating in her bio, totally common and nothing problematic.   Now flip the coin.   A boy goes on to add,   “Hit me up when your waistline hits 24 inches.”   I need not even explain on what kind of reaction that guy will receive from others. Your mind would've also thought of the type of comments he may get.   When it's very much practical and controllable...

The Myth of Starting Late

When he was 32,  Oskar  Schindler  was a balding, opportunistic Nazi who obtained a factory through his Nazi connections. He had no major artistic, oratory or athletic skills. At that point, he had no way to make history in a positive way. But, he did and with just 2 years of work. Through his tenacity and change of nature, he helped 1200 Jews escape the Nazis. Now, a whole community of people proudly uses his name -  Schindlerjuden   (Shindler's Jews) and venerated highly in Israel.Schindler saw a problem and did whatever he could to solve it. That's the way to make history, dammit! There are millions of problems around us and if we change ourselves today, we have an opportunity to make history. Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela and scores of others we remember in history didn't really set the world on fire when they were quite young. They were not child prodigies and they were not extraordinarily skilled in any particular field. They were ordinary m...
