Is it debate, Is it poetry? Sounds like Abuse to Me :)

The old timers got many things right. I came across this - an impromptu abuse session in a paper today. Abuse as an art form! Come to think of it why not. In colleges there used to be "creative abuse" contests which were well very creative at times.
Satire as an effective form of commentary on social conditions or happenings has been in existence for long. But "abuse" as a commentary on social conditions and happenings I found rather novel. If we look at our modern day politics, so much is about abusing the others. Now at least these leaders can claim to be artists. So folks doncha worry no barbarians at the gates any more. Its an infestation of art spirit.
On a more serious note, yes there is something in satire/abuse that often brings out the creative best in people. Why not have this as a form of creative expression and let off steam? Since these are public events often with neighbours/friends in attendance I doubt if the sessions would degenerate into crass name calling - which the participants insist is not there. Then it seems more like what they call in Hindi as 'Haasya Kavi Sammelan' - humor poetry session. and such sit down social events can only lead to more fraternal spirit. The only difference is that one is allowed to retort to an 'abuse'. A debate in poetry format - what fun!
This is a model I'd like to see happening on a bigger scale.

कोई मुझे ये तो बताये!

ये कम्बक्थी मारे सारे दोस्त आज कल मुझे फ़ोन करके "चीनी कम, चीनी कम" क्यों कहते रहते हैं?

Ways to live

This is the time of the year when we think of life and times ahead. The kind of time when even timid like me start thinking of changing the ways we live. Accordingly I have been thinking of some exciting careers. Some of the fun/adventurous/ no-work work lines I can suggest are:
1. Professional Protester
2. Photographer with National Geographic
3. Active Volcano hiker
4. Storm Chaser (with free plane and rides)
5. Scuba diver
6. Sky Diver
7. School Teacher
8. Wine / beer taster
9. Day Watchman in a night club
10. Food Critic
11. Stock Market commentator
12. Free fall train operator? (does (s)he get to ride the train too? )
