Whether Its a party or a marriage or any festive event,people cant help but discuss politics when they meet.Except for funerals,never found people discuss politics there.Its good some sensitivity does exist even now.Politics is the worst stigma that the world cannot turf out miraculously.The only cure is not to be a part of it.I have never understood the thrill people seek discussing this stuff esp when they cant do anything about it.Journalists make an exception,its their profession.When you discuss a s/w feature and post it on a forum there are chances that,that idea might just take shape into a real-time functionality of sort.It is a worthwhile discussion.But politics and the scams,and why anna hazare is right or wrong,seriously,who gives a S***?Dont you have business of your own to mind?The gusto with which people discuss at length making it appear intellectual…is just bizzare.All the age group esp the uncles and (well aunties discuss soap operas and religious stuff…this is more dangerous :P ) anybody from any age group,my question iswhat is so interesting about politics unless you are a politician yourself?They carry a smug around them when you innocent mind frame is not interested to be a part of it.The very next question to this lack of participation is-’why?dont you read newspaper?Yes I do I read ET and business,tech,fashion and literature related stuff,would you like to discuss that?But naa,no moxie for this stuff.They just brush it off thinking they have gained a momentum by going back to the govermental claptrap.I mean,if you really have such brilliant ideas on what the government should do,why dont you write to them and do something about it instead of bemiring a gathering with loud,noisy discussions,excuse me…I cant even watch tv.Speaking loudly and then getting offended when I turn off the tv or reduce the volume,making me feeling guilty as if I have done something insulting to their pea-brain discussions.

I’m game for discussing essays by Francis Bacon or Emerson,care to even know who these legends are?They have given the world the wealth of their ideas.Does your thirst for General Knowledge reckon this stuff?na…mediocre duds.
