Learnt this word some time in 8th standard i guess, where in our English subject has a story of a Pandit who used to worship & feed a Snake but Ironically was bitten dead by the same. Really since then i have been fascinated by this word probably because of the Tragic end of the story ( i kinda liked the pandit) and may be becuase of the word bringing out the brutal reality. I tried to use this word at every chance i could have but then the fascination died a slow death. I grew up in a world where speaking English was no less than a crime so i left my desire of using the word again.
Now that i am in a world where if you can't speak English you don't Exist, so its time to fall back in love again. This post is dedicated to the word IRONIC :)
"Rangeela Rajasthan", yes they say it this way but i am yet to find any colour except for the "dirt". Irony in name itself.
Few Ironi(cities)
1. RAJASTHAN - Every day when temperature rises, we mortals cried for help. Traveling in buses gave me all more reasons to be pissed of with this place. But when i see people who have never heard of a fridge (matka is what they know exist), only option with them to wave off the heat is to wear a Pagdi & use a paper fan( AC is only something you have blabbered in angrezi). Why do they have to bear the brunt of the Nature. They are not responsible for anything IRONICALLY those who are responsible, are still sitting in comfortable ambiance and making it all more difficult for these poor guys. Just to cite an example: Bhilwara in Rajasthan is one of the biggest market for textiles, people make their livings out of the industries which need water in abundance but shockingly it gets water once in seven days and to meet ends water comes by train from Kota. What will happen to poor workers remains a cause of concern. So You can see how grave situation is and still we not to change our lifestyle. Overspending has become a habit (which are like going to bed with your lady- easy to get in but difficult to get out). Getting out of those will be a good !dea for sure because small things make big differences.
Please check - http://green.ndtv.com/ brilliant initiative by NDTV which in my opinion is The Best News Channel in India ( they wont show you Cows sucked up by Aliens & sorts) so see if we can learn & help our Enviroment. Watch it for Priyanaka & Kareena Atleast :)
2. Curious Case Of Virender Sehwag - When on song this guy can blast any attack in the cricket world. He has done it so many times for the Indian Team. In Tests his way of defence is to Attack. With excellent Hand-Eye Coordination and a superb Un-Cluttered mind ( "one can get out playing a defensive stroke as well so Risk is everywhere" - is what he has to say about his approach) He was proclaimed to be the T20 hero even before the format strike gold in India. IRONICALLY we still have to witness Veeru special in T20's. He is far from his best when it comes to a skill he has mastered. Even in IPL's where the attack is not that fierce he fails to deliver. Man who has scored fastest 250 defeating many greats, Scored fastest century & half century for India, is yet to prove his metal in T20 a format tailor made for his unique style of batting. I wish him success and when he will strike, rest assured it will be a treat for all cricketing fans around the world.
3. Socially Active - This is the best, you know what your friends bhatija is doing, even hows his boss/booze is or if he is fool enough you can gauge her GF's pics as well, can pass the links to many of your friends available at that moment of time and in this flurry you sometimes send the link back to the friends bhatija who is in no mood to see what words you have used to describe his to-be wife :) but my dear friends irony is not the social site nor the bhatija & his GF. It is the way we are treating our so called social life which ends up on a web-page, if asked we might fumble who lives in flat next door ( exceptions if the owner is b'ful chick ;)). Hopefully we will understand relationships in a better way rather wasting our time in gifting pigs/cows/cats and what not on a social site. Please try not to take The Statement " Human is a Social Animal' too seriously :)
Ironically i am very active on FB & doesn't even know all my relatives..haaaa :) so no point professing. But its always best to learn from other's mistake(italian proverb) :)
