World's Largest democratic exercise!

Today's Youth are passionate about their team/players.
We see the passion in their support for Manchester Utd vs Arsenal or vice versa.
Its reflected in IPL- Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils.
Again comes forward in Federer vs Nadal.

Where is that passion when it comes to the national politics. Why are there no status messages saying Go Congress or Go BJP? Why the absolute indifference over the government that can decide your fate? You cannot control who plays for Arsenal and who wins the IPL. But YOU have the right to select the national leaders. Use your POWER. Ignorance is no longer BLISS!
We need to show the world that we are an informed set of people who are motivated enough to change things.

"Physical"/mental torture

I was at this party the other day. I am usually not the party type but I was forced to go to this one by a good friend I couldn't refuse. So I'm there sitting on this couch just fiddling with a glass of low quality beer I couldn't finish off, when this drunk girl comes and sits besides me. I was bored so just thought of starting a normal conversation. I introduced myself and to my surprise, she said she wasn't interested. She had a strong East European accent. I was pissed by her arrogant response. I was the only sober guy behaving myself in the party and I get this. So I asked her what and why she was not interested in to pique her further. She said "Your physics is not good" . I was taken aback. What the peep was she talking about? How can she possibly know about my physics and I usually boast of a good working knowledge of physics -it must be atleast few times better than this drunk rude bitch. So I responded in an agitated tone,"What physics are you talking about?" -She said--"Body..Body--You are slim." Then it dawned upon me that she was referring to physique. But still, I may not have the Sylvester Stallone body, but I was definitely not "slim". Average is acceptable. But "slim?" Slim is for girls. I left the party in anger and came back and did 10 push-ups, followed by flexing of muscles against the mirror.
Take that , bitch!.. I was contemplating hitting the gym next morning..Was it a wake-up call?What happened to the good old lean look? Are only bulky guys in vogue? --> But then, sense prevailed and I siad..F*.. it. Its all good.

Moral of the story...(1)..When in Rome, do as the Romans do..( No she was not from Italy, also Rome is not in East Europe..also Rome is not a city in California) in the sense that when you go to a party, drink ..like everyone else does...till you are in so little sense that no words or actions move you a millimetre! (2) Don't fall in to the "large guy" fetish of strange drunk white girls. Lean is in! No need to bulk up!
