So this entire debate what BB said that Ashka said that Urvashi said about a particular community got me thinking.
Most people are upset at Aashka for having made that statement. Do we care to remember that what we are seeing is a snippet of a 5 minute conversation out of 24 hrs footage of the day spent by Delnaaz and Aashka?
Consider the mathematics - 14 participants, 24 hours - a total of 336 hours of footage captured from various angles by 55 cameras. And what do we get to see - 45 minutes.
Is it possible for all the participants to be politically correct all the waking and sleeping hours? Are we the same in real life? Aren't we placing too high an emphasis on a small conversation? (But that is precisely what this show forces us to do)
But the larger question in my mind - are we politically correct all the time? Is it even a desirable state of being?
I personally am extremely Politically Incorrect. Those who've interacted with me in some earlier fiery forums would attest to that.
My fav. current Politically Incorrect Statement - One should appreciate all North Indian Men, coz they are the closest to Nature. Having been born male - neither their parents, nor school, nor society has bothered to educate or civilize them. They are as close to nature as is possible - which is why you see all of them blowing their noses, peeing and spitting on the roads - irrespective of class and social standing.
Will I take back what I said? No. I say that to my friends, cousins and uncles; and if I can say it to them, I can say it to anyone.
How many of you are honestly Politically Incorrect in your personal lives (Men - it includes passing lewd/snide remarks at women around you)
