It's stand up time!
@V-s-Gopal: You have aptly summarised my views. :-)
@KrishnanBala: Sir, where is the occassion for the anthem to be played ? I am afraid i fail to see the contempt. Why are we so afraid that we will forget. Why are we so insecure about our own patriotism? And about 'To die un-sung and un-honoured' it would be such a pity if I consciously live for somebody else so that they will sing or honour me, all the more so, at my funeral, when absolutely nothing matters, it would be such a waste of my life. :-(

Hi SupriyaD, It is precisely this rhetoric that I guess patriotism is being substited with. Ok, lets play the anthem everywhere. MithunDa and Sunny Deol will play it ten times in thier movies, the saas-bahu serial in each episode,in pubs and bars, lest we forget. Lets get Himesh Reshamiya to remix the anthem too....will make for great consumerism.
And I would like to know who are the 'WE' you are referring to when you say 'we are fighting for our freedom', especially w.r.t. NE. We are fighting to restrict the freedom that somebody else is seeking.
I guess we have fallen into a perfect trap of raging tempers, jingosim and rhetoric which is generated everytime someone is forced to prove his allegiance/patriotism towards his country.

Sorry for the delayed response Suresh, I am glad the supreme court is on my side in this instance and rightly so, I guess. :-)

@mayaonline,swarajya,andhravilas: thanks a lot. Hmm...about Rajnikanth, I am told, at the time of release of Sivaji, there were traffic jams in matunga akin to the whole of tamilnadu.

@pavementfreud : I am told there are mallu areas too! dombivili and vasai road. if i am not sure. Will confirm wtih friends and tell you. Ofcourse, I am sure your mallu friends would have explored it long back.
@Ashok: I was a toddler in the early 80s and used to think my small town must be bigger than mumbai! Local maharashtrians was a generic term i used. I guess i cant use it anymore. What with so much marathi manoos permeating around. Will pen my thoughts on it in a different blog. :-)
@RedStrawberry: I think you seriously should. And i will assit you in your stroll too. expert guide you will have, ofcourse all in exchange for a Dosa treat. :-P
