So you're chatting with a random person online and he suddenly starts insulting your race and your country. What should you do?
Surely, this is the most pathetic of responses.
Note all the things that are wrong with this.
1. It's a petition. But what action do the writer and the signatories want taken? *blink blink* "Do something!"
2. It's a petition to the President (with a capital P) of India. (a) Does Mr Sayan Ghosh even know the president's name? (b) Does Mr Sayan Ghosh really think that India is "run by" him?!
3. It's a petition to the President of India that hasn't been proofread. Run-on sentences abound, grammatical errors peek out from every nook and cranny, and don't get me started on the punctuation. And does this guy think he's Keats or something, repeating the last part of the previous sentence as the first part of the next? Ugh.
4. His peeve is that when someone insults his country like this, it "will permanently destroy my confidence and my dignity as an Indian." Wow. Glad to know that the confidence and dignity of India rests on strong shoulders.
5. Most disturbing: the eleven (count 'em!) doofuses who actually signed this thing, and a fourth year comp engineering student who calls himself Deep, the blogger who actually linked this petition urging people who go sign it. (Incidentally, I don't see Deep's signature there. Wonder why?)
BTW I think those 11 deserve to be named on this blog so we can all point and laugh. Here goes:
11. Viral Jhaveri
it should be taken seriously
10. Gaurav Roy Choudhury
Matter should be looked after
9. Prantik
the whole affair as reported is highly shameful and must be given attention to so that no other person like him can abuse any other country like this
8. Diptish Bose
7. lokesh kumar awasthi
6. rohon
5. sayak krishna biswas
4. Arijit Roy
3. Sourav Kumar Dandapat
2. Indranil Sarkar
Good job!
1. Sayan Ghosh
Come forth and strenthen me in my battle.
*points and laughs*
hey! i'm one of the "doofuses" who has signed the petiton. my name is rohon (rohon kuddus). may i know what is ur real business other than point and laugh at people? u can get several links for my name in google search. one of my friends saw this thing from google and sent the link. I'm really shocked the way u've writen there. i know there'll be no reply to sayan's petition. but is it really necessary to mock someone's emotion? please reply if u've any relevant answer.
ReplyDeleteNothing, man. My business when it comes to doofuses is nothing other than to point and laugh at them. What else can you do when confronted with such utter absurdity?
ReplyDelete*points at you* *laughs*
