More general compartments, coz only the clever forward castes do the sleeper reservation... him looking at the people worst off than the sardines in the cans, Laalu orders more unreserved compartments. Laalu auctioning ad spaces in a big way and convert most accident prone unmanned gates into manned ones, not just reducing loss of lives but creating employment 4 some.

Today the Delhi eveninger carried an story on Swaraajs where 5 different persons were asked who they r... none got them right lol, and the paper missed 2 inform 2 vital facts about the lesser known Swaraaj... a socialist and x-governor. [Some shakti bhen of ndtv reporting appointment of JN Dixit as new National Security Advisor... she by mistake called him foreign secretary... ha.. no one corrected... she corrected herself in the end] Why English Papers doesn't include EnaduTV/Urdu programme schedule. Probably b'coz they r still run owned staffed by pagan heathen... lol. And none of the pagan heathen presswaalla mentioned that part of the credit goes 2 maha'aatma Lyngdoh, he played a role in both the Aandhra & centre poll results... good that all pollsters lost credibility and V r saved of hours & days of stupid laffaazii. BTW too many news channels, let some go outta business.
t has been 2 the hills of kuma'un. Haldwaanii was flooded with mosquitoes, AlmoRha flooded with littered plastics, looks like past 5-6 years the garbage hasn't been collected by the civic authorities. Raanikhet is declared 'poly free zone' by the military admn., yet some places in there as dirty as the AlmoRha. Looks like Military out to malko the hill station... it is off tourism list in most state tourism promotion list, babbe tathagat wondered why them choose such places 4 chhavniis, me said these mallichh can't get rid of flies off their noses... them can't choose such places... it was the white men who settled 4 such places.

Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam. ~ Marshall McLuhan
:: aao bachchoN tumheiN dikhauN ::
06:22 AM 05/12/2004 :: Fall-e-lumpen pe aao bachchoN tumheiN dikhauN jhaaNkii McLuhan kii... the "Oracle of the Electronic Age", "guru" of media culture. Gary Wolf, writing in the Wired magazine, painted a portrait of McLuhan as "a critic and an academic rebel", prone to incredible pronouncements and humorous quips.
McLuhan believe that the print revolution begun by Gutenberg was the forerunner of the industrial revolution. One unforeseen consequence of print was the fragmentation of society. McLuhan argued that readers would now read in private, and so be alienated from others. "Printing, a ditto device, confirmed and extended the new visual stress. It created the portable book, which men could read in privacy and in isolation from others" (McLuhan, 1967, p. 50). Interestingly, McLuhan saw electronic media as a return to collective ways of perceiving the world. His "global village" theory posited the ability of electronic media to unify and retribalize the human race. What McLuhan did not live to see, but perhaps foresaw, was the merging of text and electronic mass media in this new media called the Internet.
McLuhan is also well known for his division of media into hot and cool categories. Hot media are low in audience participation due to their high resolution or definition. Cool media are high in audience participation due to their low definition (the receiver must fill in the missing information). One can make an argument that the Web results by combining two cool media into a new synthesized, multimediated experience. If print is hot and linear, and electronic broadcast media are cool and interactive, hypermedia on the Web is "freezing" and 3-D.
"The medium, or process, of our time - electric technology is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life.
It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted.
Everything is changing: you, your family, your education, your neighborhood, your job, your government, your relation to "the others. And they're changing dramatically." ~ The Medium is The Massage, Marshall McLuhan
"By phonemic trans-formation into visual terms, the alphabet became a universal, abstract, static container of meaningless sounds" ~ Laws of Media, Marshall McLuhan p 15
"The poet, the artist, the sleuth, whoever sharpens our perception tends to antisocial; rarely 'well adjusted,' he cannot go along with currents and trends."
"... Their power to see environments as they really are." ~The Medium is The Massage, Marshall McLuhan p 88
"Professionalism is environmental. Amateurism is anti environmental.
Professionalism merges the individual into patterns of total environment. Amateurism seeks the development of the total awareness of the individual and the critical awareness of the ground rules of society. The amateur can afford to loose"
The Medium is The Massage, Marshall McLuhan p 93
"In Understanding Media he put the matter this way: "...since the inception of the telegraph and radio, the globe has contracted, spatially, into a single large village. Tribalism is our only resource since the electro-magnetic discovery. Moving from print to electronic media we have given up an eye for an ear." (xii-xiii)"
it explains the concept of media and technologies as Extensions of Man:
"It was R. W. Emerson who wrote that "The human body is the magazine of inventions, the patent-office, where are the models from which every hint was taken. All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of its limbs and senses" (1870)."
and provides reasoning on why McLuhan considered that The Medium is the Message:
"Each medium, independent of the content it mediates, has its own intrinsic effects which are its unique message. The message of any medium or technology is the change of scale."

Ah! Vagina
Monologues :: the Obie-award winning play
here... woonder how the vernacular press translated it... yoni saNvaad
or Yoni AikalSaNMvaad[s] how 2 make it plural... Yoni AikalSaNMvaadaaN,
here they put a 'on' in the end of the khaRii bolii word. :), so yoni SaNMvaad_o'n...
[Yoni (pronounced YO-NEE) is a Sanskrit word for the vagina that is loosely
translated as "Sacred Space" or "Sacred
Temple." Its meaning and use is an alternate
perspective from the Western view of the female genitals (i.e., Pussy,
Cunt, Twat, etc., words which may or may not be complimentary depending
on the intent of their usage). In Tantra,
the Yoni is seen from a perspective of love and respect.]
Some Names of Pusshy! ;) :: beaver, fleshy
glove, pussy, vulva, box, furburger, quim, bush, hair-pie, trim, clam,
hole, tuna, town, cooter, mound, tunnel, coochie, muff, twat...

10:18 AM 03/18/2004 :: In the "Not So Happy Fact"
monologue, it was stated that 80 to 100 million girls and young women in
Africa [about a million here in SA as well
of Dawoodi Bohra community.] have had their genitals mutilated, having
their clitoris cut or completely removed with a knife, razor or glass shard.
The long-term effects include chronic uterine infection, extreme pain during
childbirth and even death [what about HIV infection probabilities].
Even
some nations in Africa NOW has laws against the FGM, but almost a million
women affected in India but no law made as yet... what a shame, and sham
of biggest democracy... ha! tathagat the Erotic politician indulges in
the cause coz its not just the fookin' gender issue. It is a fookin'
Human Rights issue. Next Secularist
govt., chupke se introduce it, banning such inhumanities ASAP and passoing
it chupke se without state controlled media chewing on it... why chupke se coz
the million taboos over it.
"My Vagina Was My Village," a metaphorically moving
monologue, set a beautiful scene with greenery and rivers, which were demolished
by having the pureness "invaded, butchered and burned down."
The delightful "The Little Coochie Snorcher That
Could" taught one woman how to be in touch with her vagina without needing
a man.
The monologues reinforce the education women need
to be in touch with their bodies. Audience members were exposed to the
taboo forum of the word vagina and the empowerment it brings to women.
Thursday's show had the entire University Theatre
in an uproar of laughter. Men and women of all ages were on the brink of
tears as 13 barefoot women in red celebrated their womanhood as they professed
what their vaginas would wear and say (if they could). It was a community
and culture of vaginas that were saying "feed me, don't stop and no, not
there!"
Individual monologues touched humorous issues
of angry vaginas to more profound issues of suffering women in Afghanistan,
Bosnia, Africa and Kosovo. ~ Reviewed by Christine Shin 4 On-line Forty-Niner

Sharon Lerner reviews the celebrity performance
of The
Vagina Monologues at Madison Square Garden
before 18,000 people on Valentine's Day. Readers included Glenn Close,
Queen Latifah, Brooke Shields, Edie Falco, Isabella Rossellini, Ricki Lake,
Julie Kavner, Carol Kane, Amy Irving, Rita Wilson, Marisa Tomei, Gloria
Steinem, Rosie Perez, Calista Flockhart, Oprah Winfrey, Phoebe Snow, Jane
Fonda and Swoosie Kurtz. After talking to many participants backstage,
Lerner
ponders the strange fact that so many prominent women are willing to reclaim,
celebrate and shout the word "cunt" but still recoil from the word "feminism."
~ Village Voice (Feb 2001)
From the San Francisco Chronicle: "Recently,
when a woman appeared on KTVU's 'Mornings on 2' to promote V-Day, an anti-violence
movement centered around 'The Vagina Monologues,' the woman was
told not to mention the word vagina on the air.
It is OK to use the word on newscasts that air later in the day, but not
in the morning, said news director Andrew Finlayson." Columnist Joan Ryan
ponders this odd semi-taboo and calls Eve Ensler for her response. ~ San
Francisco Chronicle (Feb 2002)
In her introduction to The Vagina Monologues,
Eve Ensler maintains that "women secretly love to talk about their vaginas."
Jaime Buerger tests this theory by convening six
Las Vegas women for a vagina talk roundtable.

Eve Ensler about the evolution of
The Vagina Monologues from off-Broadway one-woman show to cultural phenomenon.
"With other things I've done, I've had that--you know, 'This is my play
and I've written it.' I don't have that feeling about The Vagina Monologues.
I feel I got to serve something, that I listened to women's stories and
I turned them into something by listening and then loving those women."

Barbara Raab reviews the new book The Clitoral
Truth: The Secret World at Your Fingertips and interviews its author, Rebecca
Chalker. However, Raab opens the article with a humorous
rant about the Vagina Monologues V-Day
performance at Madison Square Garden: "corporate sponsors promoting shame
along with their products and multimillion-dollar movie stars gathering
in a sports arena on a Saturday night, along with thousands of women, for
a high-gloss event that links sex with violence instead of pleasure." ~
Salon (Mar 2001)
Betty Dodson criticizes
The Vagina Monologues both for its
misrepresentation of her own Bodysex Workshops and for its pervasive anti-sex
ideology. "That's the main problem with 'V-Day': Women end up celebrating
sexual violence and not the creative or regenerative pleasures of erotic
love. Ending violence is a worthy cause and I'm all for it. But consistently
equating sex with violence offers no solution." ~ The Spectator (April
2001)
In response to Betty Dodson's critical piece,
Marcy Sheiner wrote a powerful
rebuttal called "Give V-Day a Chance".
"Betty Dodson's tirade against The Vagina Monologues and V-Day represents
the worst thinking of the 'sex positive movement.' Like many sex radicals,
Dodson can see no further than the clit or the tip of the penis. She certainly
has the right to criticize any distortion of her own work in Eve Ensler's
play - and it sounds as though Ensler was responsive to her critique. Beyond
that, though, Dodson's essay is, in my opinion, misguided, self-serving
and mean-spirited." (Originally published in the Spectator, reprinted here
