Journal

So its another day and more things to do today. One thing that struck me today as something that I want to talk about was advertisements on Television. Actually I strongly feel about many ads on TV. Several of them are completely unnecessary and very demeaning to majority of society. Btw I'm talking from a strictly Indian point of view. There are two kinds of ads that bother me most - 1) the Sexist Kind and 2) the Racist Kind - or maybe the second one isn't strictly racist but I'm not sure there is a word to describe it. Anyways you'll see what I mean when I explain it. I have always been bothered by the second one. But I never saw the first as a threat till my first year at college where one of my professors actually explained how this viewpoint was in fact very very sexist and it must be changed before causing more damage. Of course in India we give this form of sexism a new name and we say it is our culture. I mean of course ads that portray women in a specific dome...

So it's another day and time for another journal entry. Christmas is coming near. And with it it's bringing lots of dinner invitations, baking, eating what you've baked, eating what other people have baked and general fun and games indoors. (well I can't really speak for people from the southern hemisphere as they probably enjoy their fun and frolic outdoors in the sun. I love Christmas and winter. The Cold and the Caroling and all the baking- I love it all! I know it seems a tad early to be talking about all this but what can I say - when the Christmas Spirit is in the air - you can't help but feel it and rejoice! Every December for the past few years I begin with the same thought - I need to plan things this time - plan what gifts to get, plan what decorations to reuse and what to buy and plan what I want to wear to all the different things that everyone inevitably gets dragged to at this time of year. And every year without fail, even with all this planning somet...

My Journal. I don't really have much to say at the moment. But this journal is a good thing. Because I always have something to say. And as you grow older I think there's a part of you that suppresses the part that always wants to say something. Kind of like an extended version of our conscience - as this not only makes you feel guilty when you're considering doing something bad but it also makes you feel like it's not your place to always speak your mind. Why? because someone might just get offended by what you say. Anyways, so I am going to keep this journal as my outlet and as most literary outlets are, it may not always make sense or be grammatically correct so if my readers want to criticize that then well I'm so NOT interested. :) Like I said I almost always have something to say so this is what I'm going to say for today. I don't think I could ever go to a wedding where I didn't know either of the people involved, and I cannot imagine how people c...
