change the fucking subject

Wednesday 2nd July 2008 03:47:06 PM

So I been a little MIA, I hope you don't mind but there was something I wanted to get off my chest (and I don't mean the hair though it has been bugging me lately).

Desi's, or Deshi's, however you wanna fucking pronounce it - it all boils down to the same thing, y'know what I'm talking about, those South Asian retards. The conversations. The attitude. The mentality. The shitty lifestyle.

And to quite frank with you all, we're not helping. We say we're "modern", "liberal", "intellectual" and what not, but really we're just succumbing to the information and lifestyle that we've had passed down to us. Not ever the thought to question and challenge them on their views, oh no (because that would be too much trouble) but instead we'll disagree and go along with it. Yup, that makes sense.

But then it gets better, or so we think, setting up blogs and shouting "hey look at me I'm a desi!" and telling everyone how nice of a guy or gal you are. Then after a certain period of time we move ten steps backwards, get into a huddle, hold hands and whisper the same lame words that our elders muttered at our age ...

"So when are you getting married?"
"You like that guy don't you?"
"Tell your parents to find you a nice girl"
"Koee larkee pasand hai?"
"I know someone who'd be perfect for you"

etc etc.

The only difference is we're modern, remember? Meaning instead of coming to your house for chai and biscuits, I'll send you a quick text saying the exact same thing. Or send an email, have a messenger conversation, leave a blog comment, or even facebook your ass. It's still the same thing, I'm your desi uncle and you're my annoying auntie shaanty (honay walee). We haven't evolved much, us desis, except maybe technologically.

Everywhere you turn someone's talking about it. If it's not about yourself then it's about someone else, nevertheless the fucking subject is alive and kicking. It seems that's all we ever talk about - how lame and lifeless does that make us?

The content of the conversation is ridiculous in itself ... "This guy's not married or that girl's not married" big stupid hoohaa and like I fucking care! To make matters worse girls themselves will be like "omg I'm X years of age (usually in their 20's) and I should be married". Should? According to whom? Them?

It goes a bit further than this though, the girl herself will beat herself up over it, have sleepless nights and even cry herself to sleep. A few nights of this and eventually it leads to depression. All because of what? Simply the people around her. Put this very same girl in a different environment and the last thing she'd think about would be marriage.

And so I could go on about this forever, I'm not going to because I know it's not going to make an iota of a difference. What I am going to say is change the fucking subject cos chances are we're all going to get laid - whether we like it or not in some cases!

chill bro

whats wrong with getting married anyway?
and it's not just us desi's that are obsessed with find that "special someone".
It's part of life - get a grip!

Nowhere on there have I said that I'm against marriage, just the way desis talk about it constantly.

Finding that "special someone" can be gf/bf whereas with desis that doesn't come across as an option. Part of life it is, but is it a necessary part of life at such a young age?
(most apnay people tend to get married while their young)

and don't tell me to get a grip, it's not nice.

Boba and Ash, girls, you have no idea how bad it sometimes gets. Maybe b/c you've never experienced all of this coming down on your head like an avalanche? Sometimes, things seem to pile up so weirdly.

You know when you're sitting in this air-conditioned room and someone comes in and announces they're about to drop dead from the heat? You're like..'Yeah...'or you're like, 'Come, It ain't SO bad...' You don't know it till you're sitting out there (like NoOne, Pini and I) and then you can say, 'Whoa man, hot doesn't begin to describe it...i feel like I'm gonna die of this heat!!'

Pini, I deal with my own fair share of the 'desi' bukwas. Its not an easy thing to deal with , I will never say that. there are times when I rage against it the way you have.

but.

I will say this.

you are the master of your destiny. you are living your life. Live it. Become the person you want to be. Dont worry about auntie this, uncle that, who has the right girl for you, and who you should be shagging.

That all comes in time. Pini, its hard to run from it. I give you that! but. dont let it in...thats when it becomes poison.

best of luck,
a bedouin
