A Slice of Pizza and a little Misogyny, perhaps?

Pyaar Ka Panchnama

Hello you little woman-hater you... (Addressing the maker of the movie)
I guess it stems from a case of heart break OR... just ignorance but the guy who made this movie... likes women not-a-lot.

Great acting, interesting dialogues BUT BUT BUT... why the three such terrible stereotypes of women?
one vain and superficial (think credit cards, spoilt rich girl who turns her bf into a poodle-handler type)
one hypocritical (think middle class daddys girl.. lies, manipulations and ultimately marriage as a business concept)
one a gold-digger (in the GUISE of a dutch-going feminist.. tsk. *cries*)

SPOILER ALERT
the conclusion being "only mom loves me unconditionally", and all 3 men ditching the big fat dhabbas on humanity (the 3 women)... vindicated for having climbed out of the honey traps that had initially seduced them.

because the movie may say "pyaar" or love, but all 3 "romances" stem and conclude with lust...

now you May say (as is said OFTEN by almost everyone who hasn't studied humanities) ... that "its just a movie" ... BUT the whole idea is it MATTERS>... not for those who have a solid belief system which has a strong foundation of morality... but for the less fortunate ones who may or may not have money but lack a solid ethical upbringing... who look to film stars and tv for inspiration on how to live their life! who copy SRK and Salman as though their cinematic characters are true reflections on how to live life/conduct oneself in society.. who think eve teasing is "expressing interest", who think pinching bums is "flirting", who think eating chowmein is seduction, and bar hopping is morally depraved (for women, naturally)...

not for any of the readers of this blog probably.. all 90 of you (yay)
but for the intelligent it is hard to accept OR understand ignorance, no?
so hard to relate to that it seems absurd that someone who could be ignorant enough to believe cinema or their version (lies) about women... absurd that some people can't distinguish between fiction and reality... absolutely absurd.

agreed that SOME women MAY be superficial but tarnishing them all as greedy, vain, barbies is fundamentally disgusting.

sadly it was packaged in a good fun appealing movie.
so it'll be easily digested by the masses... a sad day indeed.
if only... we could discriminate between an individual experience and the masses.
if only it was "just a movie"...

of girly things

Sitting in a relatively low key coffee chain branch .. Skimming through Facebook and (on a most happy and rare occasion) EARLY for a meeting with the girls.. And wishing I could add the photo that I want to talk about over Here..

Have u started getting those pictures in your newsfeed when someone who is recently engaged or married starts wishing other people on their birthdays and tags their own picture (in above functions) with the birthday boy/girl ., herself looking fabulous and bridal and the other birthday person looking a bit eh or essentially inconsequential in front of bridal glow?

Erm.
Trying hard not to groan here .. But it's a bit transparent as a device, don't u think?
But maybe it's just me and my *totally valid* privacy issues :) beginning to feel more and more dis-connected from such tactics..

Although brides look beautiful ! And I do loooove seeing pictures of friends on their happy Union days .. It's truly very nice .. Also when s recently tied the knot out of India it was fab seeing her glowing with her dashing groom.. Esp from
College days.
Speaking of which the girls are here! Talk later !!
