Pub Culture; What is it?

Recently our honorable woman and welfare minister Ms Renuka Chowdhury has asked to PUB bharo and asked everybody to go to pub. Chief minister of Karnataka and Rajasthan asked to stop pub culture. What is pub culture?

 Let me share my experience on first trip to pub. I was barred to pub(my right to drink alcohol) by the security guards of the pub. I went to pub with a couple of friends most of whom are bellow 25. We were barred to enter the pub. The reason was…. No it was not because we were not 25 but because we were all males and it was a couples day. Anybody without a girlfriend is not allowed. I have seen many other college going students entered the pub. All these thing were happening in the new year eve. So police and media were looking at the incident.  I don’t know who makes all the rule of couple day or whatever. But the unwritten rule is couples are welcome and a others are not.

 Are you a pub-goer? If not then you may misinterpret couple as I did 8 years ago.  Couple need not mean a boy and a girl who are married. It means a group of people of heterogeneous sex with a fair amount of ladies. A woman with 5 men do not make couple where as 3 woman with 5 men do make couple. I believe media was well aware of the facts as media people were roaming around MG Road and a couple from times of India entered into a pub.

   Recently, I have studies A Night at Call Centre, by Chetan Bhagat.As per the book, right to drink does not end at being a couple. Sometimes pub owners define dress code. Any girl who does not show her naval is not allowed inside. And pub owners do it by calling it a members’ day.

  People who go to pub and drink, mostly commute by driving their own car (a few with their bike). And after they are done with pubbing they go back driving. And definitely their alcohol level is way beyond permissible limit. And such driving causes death of innocent people. The murderers either moves freely or gets seven years ail.

  So when the media or government talk about pub, are they may talking about rights to drink? Or they want the adulation of culture and discriminate against special dress code and specific people and promote drunken driving?

 So a person having a girl friend is better posed to go to pub than a loner or a group of boys. A girl who wears thigh length skirt is more eligible than who wears toe length dress. One who wears skimpy dress is more eligible than one who does not. One who shows parts of the body are better of for going to pub? Can anybody explain what culture it is? Is it not an attack on our culture? Why should somebody be dressed specially or been with some girls to enter into pub?

Sing national anthem and get fired at missionary school

On Jan 26, a principal fired PTI of a missionary school for singing national anthem. And  Vishwa Hindu Parishad's joint publicity chief, Devendra Singh Rawat alleged at a press conference that on the Republic Day. It was not a news item. Mr Gupta’s fault is he is a Hindu and he loves his country and not ready to kiss the ass of the missionary by not singing national anthem.

 On 2nd Feb, ABVP members ransacked the school. I Violence should be condemned.  But why do media prefer to put the news today but not on 26th Jan? when I google  abvp ransacked missionary school Bhopal,

       Why are the media waking up on 2nd Feb but not on 26th Jan?  I have a couple of unanswered questions to our media friends

1)      Was it the first instance by the school/principal?

2)      What happened to Mr Gupta? Did he get his job back?

3)      Is it happening only in one missionary school or multiple missionary school?

4)      Did the Principal, Thomas Malancheruvilla acted against our nation for the first time or he has a record of doing so in past?

5)      If he has done it in past, why was it never reported?

6)      If he has done it for the first time, who has persuaded him for the same and what is the motive behind it?

7)      Why English media prefer to report it as ABVP ransacked missionary school in stead of missionary school principal  fired PTI for singing national anthem?

8)      I have put my comments for the same in TOI, and it is not published. Why does TOI not publish my comments?

9)      Are English media accountable for their reports? Do they stand by the fact that firing a PTI for singing national anthem is not big enough to make a head line, but ransacking school is big enough to make national headlines?

10)  What is the reason behind not publishing my comments in TOI? My comments for TOI is

 

TOI could have put the topic as heading of Missionary school principal
fired ateacher for singing national song. But TOI prefered not to. For
TOI neither obeying national anthem is a big deal and nor firing
somebody for respecting is a big deal. But what ABVP does is. What
happened to the PTI? Has he got his job back? What was the history with
school and principal? In case he fired somebody this 26th, he could have
terrorised others not to do so previously. Who is behind the principal?
Is there a bigger conspirancey behind it? Is TOI least bothered about
it? I am sure my comments won't get posted, and TOI definitely won't
answer my concerns.
