Yep, the first question that comes to mind is
whats the first reason? Or you might have a list of them
but let me give you OUR reason
or more specifically, MY reason being the author of this article.
A couple of months back I was holidaying in India, its really quite easy to get trapped into the whole mysterious east and the home of the Taj Maha -> one of the seven wonders of the world and all that bollocks, sad to say I was one of the people who fell for it hook, line and coach plane tickets (they pay me far less that I am worth here
).
I guess part of me wanted to know if that sexy accent ( ) they have is just for our benefit here.. or is it natural? so went directly to the source to check it out.
To cut a long trip story short: place is as dirty as you see on Discovery channel and far less interesting plus the Taj Mahal sucks unless youre one of these people who look at architecture and go awwww! I could have gotten the whole experience by just downloading a Discovery or National geographic ep on India minus the long plane trip,smell and irritaton.
Being the geek that I am, a little way into my holiday I just had to get on the net to check mail so headed to one of the local net cafes fer f#cks sake, snails crawling on their copper wires would have been going faster than the speed I was getting and that too just to check my mail but thats STILL not the reason why India sucks while waiting for my mail to load, I thought I might as well check other things too.. so loaded up a **** site (like you do when waiting for mail to load well, if YOU dont, youre abnormal get yourself checked!) surprisingly one of the sites loaded and while browsing through it this moron who works there for a salary less than what a person gets for flipping burgers here comes and starts chastising me (in THAT accent) and telling me if I dont browse away from the site he is going to kick me out! Apparently one of his jobs parameters is to walk around each of the small cubicle thingies there and check if anybody is browsing ****!
Since my mail was not loading I shut down anyway, told him his Mickey mouse laws didnt apply to me and I was not going to sit there taking that from a moron like him, gave him the finger and walked out with my head high ( another reason why foreigners are loved in Asia) but for some reason I felt like I just got caught with my hand in the cookie jar!
Pathetic and ironic for a country with a population more than the entire population of Europe & the US combined (over 1.1 billion.. and growing!) to chastise others for watching stuff that got them into the population crisis they are in today maybe they should be watching more **** and shooting the ceiling instead of churning out more kids, I mean; arent they enough call centers already? And dont tell me western culture is just dirty while they are not; you gotto remember this is the country that gave the world the Kama sutra although they could have done with a few drawing lessons, thats still a lot more positions than you are ever likely to encounter watching todays ****.
Its not all bad though, I did get to do a few things that I cant hope of ever doing here like openly bribing two cops on two different occasions, around $3 each! (And that isnt a typo I do mean three bucks) Damn! That was good, unfortunately no way to really document it coz its kind of hard to ask a cop you are tipping/bribing if you can snap a pic of your bribing him
Ok, now that I have finished my personal rant on to the other reason why India sucks:
The news is Indias home ministry has threatened to ban the Blackberry unless it is given unconditional access to any and ALL of the info passing on RIMs network why? Since they have no possible reason to chuck peoples privacy right out the window they turn to the best and most trendy excuse that governments are now using to hack away at peoples freedoms:
To monitor terrorism and terrorist activities.
While so far few details have emerged on their negotiations (as from what we hear RIM initially told them to go f#ck themselves in a much more polite fashion and not using the words we used) things seem to be coming to a conclusion with RIM making a few concessions to stay in the market, just how huge each concession is only time will tell as both sides are playing their cards pretty close to their chests.
We do hope RIM holds on to their ethics rather than become another Yahoo! helping China . like we said, only time will tell.
