Pink is the new kinda lingo !

I'm sure you all know about this. and this. Now, in the midst of this war of words and ideas and cloth materials let us just take a step back and analyze what is happening (There you go... I already sound important :P).

FACTS :
Mangalore Pub Beat Up
-> Nation (Women in Particular (Karnataka women in more particular ( Karnataka Women who frequent pubs in even more particular(Guys who take Karnataka Women who frequent pubs to pubs in MOST particular)))) agitation

-> Renuka Chaudhury (Minister for Women and Child Development) figures out super lame action plan - "Pub Bharo, Mug Bharo, Pet Bharo"

-> Junta feels that is not enough and action plan 2.0 ( sending valentine's day card to Mr.Muthalik) is born

-> Junta wearing pink chaddis decide they'd rather send their undergarments - considering its shelf life and aesthetic appeal

-> Ram Sene comes up with ingenious action plan 4.0 - send sarees as return gifts - going to prove their generosity and that the Indian culture does not advocate the use of underwear , of course besides the fact that they too celebrate valentine's day.


PONDERING :
. If one gets a saree return for an underwear, will I get a shirt if i send him a pair of socks ? (I can even try and find pink ones)
- sounds a lot better than a Big Bazaar Bargain.

. According to the news item (linked to above), the Ram Sene has collected 150 sarees. That in return to an estimated 1500 chaddis - Does that mean they adopt the first come first served system?
- then I'm sending one right away , and also booking one for the next year.

. If they were to catch a couple on the streets, on what criteria do they decide which thread is given to them (raakhi / mangal sutra)? Because if the verdict is Mangal Sutra for non siblings, then all those couples with opposition from families can just hold hands and walk on the roads.
- And to all those suffering from love failure ( of the rejection kind) just spend a few minutes with your target on the roads.

. The latest buzz is that the Ram Sene is worried about Legal Action (all of a sudden!) - Implying that if they do find couples on the streets, they wouldn't get them married off, but would hand them over to their parents. ( Yes, they believe Parents are worse than the idea of marriage, .. with all that Indian culture and stuff).
- Also, in case they aren't able to find their parents, they will hand them over to the police station. ( aka "Maamanaar veedu"(Father-in-law's house) in Tamil local parlance - Which is in effect the same thing as handing over to the parents , just phrased differently , by the following Axiom Obviosa : Father(x) = Father-in-law(Spouse(x)))

. How are they planning to watch the junta ? Do they just come out of nowhere to catch them couples? Do they have watch towers with positioned guards? People walking around in Mufti ( non-orange clothes - ie visible spectrum - [ Orange Peel, Burnt Orange]) ? Or do they have Surveillance Cameras?
- Oops , I think that last one is against Indian Culture.

. Will they open a lingerie store post V day? One that sells second hand products also?
- Yes, gross ... I know. Now don't say that second'hand' is not the right word.

. Will Ramadoss ban Pubs? Or women going to pubs? Or Action against women going to pubs? Or wearing Saffron? Or Valentine's Day?

. Is it safe to walk with people of the same sex on the streets? Do they believe in gay marriage? What happens to people who are already married? Do they believe in polygamy? Are they swerving towards Islamic fundamentals? What happens to the old spouse? What if they find a foreigner couple? Will it make sense to them that they need not follow 'Indian culture' ? What if they find an Indian and a foreigner? Will they half marry them? Like 1.5 knots or "Maanga Thanthu Ma Jee H th Na" ?


Most importantly, will they serve food at the marriage??
