However westernised we all seem, it is better to keep in contact with our roots and traditions once in a while. Last Fri, I attended a spiritual discourse with the people above. My gurujee( on the third picture) was the speaker. Even though, he looks simple, he has knowledge one can go in awe of. The rest are his disciples and the kind of brothers i never thought to have. All in all, the evening was a sucess with many responding. My evening was an eye opener and an educational one. After that day, even though i know that life will be back to normal, the event taught me to at least appreciate where I came from.

I can't think straight. Haha yet i am here to write. I was reading an article on the today's new paper. It was about how people do not like their name to be recited in the short form. The writer gave an example of a particular Joesph who got offended when he was called Jo. I thought it was raher funny especially when it concerns me. In all the twenty -three years of my life, there are people who are still coming out with a shorter form for my name. May it be short, nasty humorous. The famous ones are, "Godzilla", "Cock" and "Coca Cola". Some guys just go over the extend of making it flamboyant by adding differnt song tunes and voice controls. At first, it was exasperating but now i am immune to this. After all people need to ammuse themselves. I am glad i am of help!
In truth, in my three group of friends i know, they all call me in different ways. One group call me Koki. Like the pocky chocolate biscuit. Another group calls me Kok affectionately with some add ons like kokopops and Koky. The last group are the only ones who call me Kokila. Sounds beautiful but like everything good comes with a bit of let down, they rhyme my name. Like Kokila and Oklah. These group even contemplate on which culture my name is from since i don't even know the meaning of my name. Hawaiian, jap and african are the possible outcomes so far....sigh... oh yah! At home they call me Kola.
I agree that my name is a mouthful and i expect people to call in shorter forms. Even my friend Letitia, whose got a pretty model name is called Loti, like the bread. My other friend Reena, who has got only two syllables has got nicknames like the elli and rat because of her petitie body structue. One think I noticed though, only females are given all the nicknames and mostly named by the guys. The guys might have one among themselves but they won't share it to the others or even if shared, the girls are just too nice to use that nickname. Either that, or the nickname is crude.
Whatever it is. I will like to believe that this shorter, funnier name callings depends on how open minded the person is and how much pun he or she is willing to tolerate. Also name calling is a form of art which potrats affection. Just that more affection is shown to me thats all. ;)

Two reasons why i put this picture, firsty beacuse i think the two guys are super hot and secondly because todays topic is about something relating to the plot of the movie.
Harlow all. Back to update again. So soon? I myself don't know the reason why. Probably it is about something which might interest the general population as well.
I was reading an article from the New York Times. It was on how gay marriages are not being allowed in the states. The article goes to the extent where some condervatives say that it is not proper to have inter sex marriages. The one question which came to my mind is "What is with them?" I mean, don't everyone get the right to choose their own marriage partner regardless of age, race and even gender? In what ways are they harming anyone?
Even here, many are looking at gays or lesbians weirdly, worse they are being laughed at! Other times these people are just being ostracized. Because of this very narrow minded people, many gays and lesbians do not want to reveal their own identity.
My group of friends consist of a few gays and lesbians. Personally, i feel that these are the most selfless people. They have more understanding and knowledge of the real human emotions. Somthing, many normal straight people do not possess. On a more communal basis, these group of people are extemely sporting and very very fun to hang out with. I never ever feel bored with them because their knowledge of current affairs are really good. i learn a lot from them.
So, for those who do not have gay, lesbian friends, I think that you are missing on one pleasant part. So try making friends with them. Even if you do not want to, please do not make puns.
So yeah, now that i got that part out of my heart, i can go take a peaceful sleep. I will be back on another topic to discuss. Your comments will be much appreciated.
Bye...
