VOID CULTURE

I read this a few days ago. Just too abrasive, I thought then about the article.
Today is the 7 day Ganapati Visarjan. And there is chaos on the roads everywhere in the city. And I realize today that the linked article isn't all nonsense.

There is a dance academy near my locality. And I won't comment on the quality of dancers that the dance academy yields. Because, I am not aware of that fact. I am not bothered about knowing about it either. The reason I mention about this dance academy is that it celebrates a GRAND Ganeshotsav every year.

Being a dance academy, it is full of either a gang of hippies or a clump of positively plump ladies. Though the presence of a bunch of ill-clothed ladies can be nicely enticing and wanting and all, but in the state of realness it can prove to be rather an eye candy. Those abstruse, gaudy and extravagant piercings at the vestigial body places and that tattooing on the important places becomes obnoxiously flamboyant.

And when such hippies decide to show their INDIANness and culture, your mind echoes "ITS KALYUG".
They set up a stage at the place that earlier was best utilized for TEEN PATTI and carrom. Cigarette gets replaced by incense.

All the rituals are carried by the hippies as per their HIPPIE culture. And when the visarjan day is up, the hippies go mad. So much so that it makes me believe that the reason they celebrate Ganeshotsav is to show their hippie dancing during the visarjan time- of course, the HIPPIE way.

That the dancing is beyond the Hindu culture is just an understatement. It is mortally vulgar and hippie insane. A tank top and a tight bottom apparel is the last thing a cultured Indian lady would put on. But, as it is, the hippie culture.

They play ear-shattering-loud music while the Ganesh murti is on its way to the visarjan. They'll block the traffic while the procession will move ahead at the speed that is 1/3 of the speed of an earthworm. The only reason I hate Dabangg is that it has given a vulgar dance number "Munni Badnaam Hui.." to these hippies. Munni Badnaam is then followed by awful cacophonous high-pitched noises from the so-called remixers.

And the fact that an average Indian can't resist even a trace of any kind of mild or medium amount of skin show explains the high incidents of sneaky gropism and molestations.

Less said, the better!
