Oh well. Hello there. đ I'll explain the weird title later on.Lol. Though most wouldn't care and I probably don't know anyone here except Neethzoo ,and Syria...I'll just introduce myself a bit and why I 'm here. đ My name is Koyel...i am really weird and i have a fetish for muslim based shows and thus i am here. đ I might get a lot of sandals , vegetables and nice stilettos going bang bang in my head after i say that I am not a ksg fan at all , and i am not here or watching this show for the actors...Rishabh Sinha is from Splitsvilla , he used to be called jungli.lol. random.Anyway. Emm. I am here for the way the culture and religion of Muslims will be portrayed and i am so excited about it. Now , about the weird title.."Does my Head Look Big in This?" is a beautiful book about a muslim teenage girl going to an Australian Catholic school..by an author named Randa Abdel-Fattah...its about the culture , the belief , the strength , the prejudice , the morals this muslim girl and the reflection of the muslim culture and religion is been used for her to accept and embrace her identity. I thought of using excerpts of this book to parallel it by analyzing characters...sorry for appearing professor ji types. Hehe :P
Clothes : Result of Culture , Religion , or a social paradox?
The protagonist of the book i mentioned , Amal , had this sudden urge of self belief in doing something which challenged the underlying racial prejudices...she decided to wear the hijab. An australian born Palestanian Muslim , who was not forced by her parents , or by society..decided to wear a piece of cloth that many people would see as women confining themselves..or another way of social conformity..but Amal saw this hijab as a part of her identity..she called the hijab , a badge of her faith...it was not about the Muslim culture being presurrized on her or her being even remotely socialized in believing that hijab is a must or is a symbol of "saadhgee" , as Asad says sometimes...thing is Amal did this for herself to reinduce the path towards self actualization. But everybody is different...claiming to not accept your sister go into a night club or go anywhere at night wearing any sort of "short clothes" , is not making you a firm believer in what Prophet Mohammed says ,neither does it make you a disciple of Islam...I remember someone once said in one of their topics here that Asad is not religious , he is more keen on the culture of his society..and the chica was bang on right...Moreover , I feel he uses the attributes of his culture orthodoxy as a defense due to the circumstances of what he has faced...but , in the book you see , Amal's friend's mom was a British who converted to Islam , and faced many comments and racial digs for it when the public saw her armed with a , let me quote , "chocolate skinned muslim"... but she never forced the cultural orthodoxy on her daughter though she been through much more harsh circumstances...Asad has a brother's bond that does not need to prove itself through being a part of his blood , but Cassandra aunty's own parents disowned her forever and never looked back...but she never became like Asad...her hold in faith , and in good and in light is what makes her an Islamic believer despite NOT being a muslim..there's a big , big difference...So , yes . Asad is a product of the culture rather than the religion he is inflicted upon...but what is culture sometimes anyway? A misinterpreted way of living or norm that is influenced by religion? Therefore...an extreme form of norm following due to a misinterpreted belief , can be called fanaticism...Amal's other friend's mom was deeply in Muslim village culture..didn't allow her daughter to go late at night and scowled at her for not getting married at the age of 17 , though she is a straight a student..she thought she was following Islam , but is she? No , right..and no I'm not saying Asad is like that..but yes , he believes that succumbing to the culture his society displays is being a loyal disciple of his religion..which is WRONG.
Okay...a random snippet on what I felt on the first interaction between Asad and Zoya...the writers need to work a lot on they represent the character of Zoya cause when she started speaking to Asad , she sounded like a nine year old girl fighting for her lollipop ..while Asad is more condensed and someone you can moderately trim and understand...Zoya's character in my opinion needs to be worked on...Another thing...your first interaction CANNOT be about what you believe in and don't believe in and make it a clash of morals , values , and sentiments on YOUR FIRST MEET.That also , when someone alomst ran on you , and what do you do? Start fighting with him on what your outlook on life is as if he is someone you know already..it is kind of a blooper and illogical interaction..a fight would have been logical about her almost being run on , but a direct peck already at the battle between their opposite personalities was a booboo. That could've definitely happened if the situation of their first meet was different , or it could have begun from the fourth or third scene..the progress of the equation then would make logical sense. I am done here. Sorry for my bakwaas and sorry if i wasted your time ;P .
adios. :D
