Aaku Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Open Letter to Delhi Boy | Response. Soooo this blogger rants bout "Delhi and Delhi Boyz". And another one writes to her in response. Both "part madrrasans".:giggle: Do read :two_thumbs_up: Open Letter to Delhi Boy OPEN LETTER TO A DELHI BOY Dear Delhi boy, Namaskaram from the South of India, or as you may like to believe, the countries south of the Vindhyas. I came to your city 2 years ago with a brand new job and a bucketload of expectations. My friends and family here thought I was completely insane to choose Delhi over more female conducive cities like Bangalore or even Bombay. I am very sad to report that your reputation of being an ignorant, chauvinistic oaf with the intelligence levels of an autistic 3 year old on crack precedes you and it hurts me even more to admit to this rather accurate description. Your reputation has travelled far and wide, to countries outside South India as well. And believe me man, it is not a pretty situation. I understand that your stone faded, ripped jeans, your V-neck cleavage showing t-shirts that reveal to the world that you have infact inherited your motherÃÔ voluptuous shaved Punjabi bosom, are what you think maketh a man, but it does not. It only maketh for a man who gets a pity license to share his girlfriendÃÔ bra. I write to you as a woman who has been brought up in a society free of any discrimination towards women so thanks to you, my living in Delhi is as safe as Hugh HefnerÃÔ playmate of the year living in Jeddah. You meet me at a friends birthday, talk to me about nightclubs and your new SUV and when I look like IÃÎ in desperate need of a barf bag, you think I have an attitude problem. I understand this completely. But let me remind you that I am from SOUTH INDIA and not SOUTH DELHI, so no ,I am not scrawny, I am not fair, I dont have straight hair and my topics of conversation go beyond the Fendi I saw in last month Vogue. I am olive-skinned, have lower back-length lustrous cascading tresses that sometimes make me look like I fell out Jim Morrison's tour bus. Got a problem with that? Well just suck it up coz I was born into a society where a woman can whoop your Punjabi patoutie to pulp. While your mother pretends to be very progressive but still cows down to the whims of her husband every single time, mine on the other hand was born into a matriarchal home where every single possession is in the rightful name of the girl child. Could you ever, my hunky handsome, cash throwing pig, imagine this kind of power in your society? So stop telling me that women are not treated like trash where you come from. Just shut up and admit to it. It's just easier that way. And lest we forget that weÃ×e managed to curtail the number of rape cases despite not having a female Chief Minister. Amma ÃÔ body composition generates way too much heat for her get out of her AC room anyway, so dont' even bring that up. And your English. Good Lord, what in the world is up with that? I dont' want you to 'Explain me anything. It's like you need to go to primary school all over again. And call them your parents, not your ÃÑeerents or what your cooler, more happening brethren call themÃñmere mom-dad? Like what are they? Conjoined twins? Are they joined at the hip? Your South India counterparts may not have your looks, but are way more mentally stimulating, a quality that eludes you obviously, but has been the single most sexy factor for us Southie chicks since the age of five. I mean once again, who can blame you? You were brought up on Gurdas Mann and the heroic deeds of Devinder Singh Bhullar and the ever so fair concepts such as elections in Phugwada while we mere Black-colour waale mortals had to make do with Bharatnatyam classes, M.S Subhalakshmi and chess. Shame no? And yes, if by a slight chance, you do find my big dancer eyes attractive enough for you to prolong our conversations and meetings and if by an even slighter chance you fall in love with me and decide to marry me, you will have to wear a mundu and you will have to lie prostrate shirtless at the Guruvayurappan temple. A small price to pay for all the genuine independence I am giving up for you. And that's the real thing, not what you see the Delhi girls at LSR and Stephens doing during their fake as hell protest marches coz ultimately they'll be going home to a family who'll be putting together money for Bobby beta's bail coz he just ran over his girlfriend's ex, by mistake of course. I understand that I come from the land of ugly. I mean obviously Hema Malini, Sri Devi and Aishwarya Rai with their natural banal looks don't even hold a candle to Priyanka Chopra after her two nose jobs and one lip reconstruction surgery. Not a chance in hell. But when you do come to ask for my hand, remember I am part Maharashtrian and part South Indian and NO, they are not the same thing. So please tell your family, not to drop racist bombs like 'Arey woh sab toh ôawth ke hi hote hai na? And YOU DONT walk up to mother in an attempt to make flattering conversation and say **** like aunty you don't look like a South Indian You are so fair In return she will verbally Texas chainsaw massacre your face so badly, your dead Dadi will haunt you the very same night, telling you how fleeing Pakistan was less traumatic. So don't. Better still just don't speak. Just glean and flex your muscles a little and keep smiling. Just whatever you do, don't talk. You may not like our food, but then we don't like you, which is worse. We may not be even that into food, but then that's coz we have other things to do with our lives, like crack IIT or become writers, journalists, activists and do things that we are very passionate about. The South Indian woman has a voice and boy can she yell. So if you want to Sambhar 'chawl' your way into my life, then you got to toe the line. Be way more aware than what your are. Remember Delhi is not a country and we are not Black. If I ever hear you utter that name of that colour, I will Kalaripayattu your tongue out of your rear. Yes , that is the secret behind our awesome sex ratio. Just so you know. For someone who is so confident of his physical abilities you really suck at luring an intelligent woman. Don't send me text messages that say 'happy guru purab' you freakshow and if you want to be cute with your ever so charming (not) Punjabi advances, then don't send texts that say 'dil leil laye gayee kudi Madrraaas di? NO. It's just not cool man. I may have have missed on a lot in this letter, but that's ok because you'll forget to read it and even if you do , youÃÃl get your cousin Jassi from Defence Callonny to translate it for you. And this letter can't go on forever like the Punjabi male ego. So long my love, and here's two steps of gidda just for you, just to show that I can be traditional and will not accidently kick your sister while doing so. Love, hugs, kisses aka 'muah (only I shall muah? you please dont do anything coz you tend to forget that these are my lips and not a piece of Tandoori Chicken from Kakke- Da- Dhabba) Yours Madrasan (Only I can call myself that. If you EVER call me by this name, I will shove so many coconuts down your system that your little saver pack versions will begin to sprout coir.) Open letter to troubled woman õis the season for open letters I'm a part 'madrasan' just like you! And I began to read your post with something akin to amusement because I live in Delhi and am very aware of the foibles of the Dilliwalas. I love it nonetheless for embracing me and giving me a home. About 5 lines down your post, I felt a little ashamed of having ever thought that I was 'just like you'. It seems nigh impossible to fall that low. For every Daalli boy living in Defence Callony there is a Medraus boy getting up 'early in the maarning'. Where is this getting us if as a country we make fun of our regional accents and aspire to a more 'neutral (read as American/Brit) accent? Are you ashamed of your skin, accent or your food habits? Then why shame them on their accents? Would you laugh at a French accent? You'll be weighed down by your colonial hangover, lady. Autistic three year old? How witty and compassionate of you to make fun of a child with a disability. If you'll be playing for the South Indian team, I think you just scored a self goal. For every showy Punjabi I've encountered a stingy, parochial Madrasi who won't invite me into the house for a glass of water. For every caste based temple not allowing people in, there is a gurudwara that will feed you at the langar without bothering to ask after your background or gender. But hey, I really hope the 'punjabis' don't define us by the odd cranky old miser. I've never understood the issue with muscular Punjabi men either are you really saying we lovely doe-eyed ladies prefer pot bellies and skinny legs peeping out from under mundus? I for one would never diss my man if he worked out, simply because it's a 'Punjabi thing' to do. It's a healthy thing to do and you're welcome to the shapeless slugs. Or did you mean that South Indian men are by definition, unfit and shapeless? I take offence on behalf of the rather fit men in my family. Honestly, I prefer my men well groomed, not smelling of coconut oil, and definitely no dusty feet in leather slippers. I don't exactly want him to shave his chest, but hell, a little pride in their looks wouldnt do our guys any harm. What was that again about SUVs and big cars? If I had a buck for every South Indian man who talked about cars and gizmos, I'll be on a cruise instead of wasting my time writing this post right now. Our good old Coimbatore at one point had the highest number of imported cars. You might want to read this. The open cascading tresses clearly you havent seen a Punjabi woman or even a Sikh man let down his hair. The Bongs can give us a run for our money too, in the eyes and hair department. And really sistah, I quite like my shaggy flip out and refuse to buy into the stereotypical long hair and olive skin bullshit. Who are you to define my South Indianness for me? I'm dark and I accept it why do you need to sugarcoat it? Bug you much? To say nothing of the fair skinned actresses we're importing for our films. It frustrates me. If our men appreciated us for what we are, we'll not need the Northies on our screens. And really girl, did you have to bring up Hema Malini and Sridevi of all women? Them of the adultery, the second marriages, the conversions, the plastic surgery and botox fame? Aishwarya with her annoying accent (it'll probably caused by the smile she got redone) and fake marriage is our claim to fame? I thank you NOT! Funny how all three of them picked Punjabi and UP men when the time came, huh? Good for them. It just leaves the 'Madrasi' men free for us. I got my sweet boy from Karnataka instead of Ash! You're not scrawny? My sympathies I could offer you the number of a dietician. We're built much smaller and more petite than the bigger built Punjabans and Haryanvis (God bless their souls and the ghee loaded parathas) who make an effort to stay fit. So maybe you need to get off your soapbox and on to a treadmill. I have to admit I prefer my murukku and kaapi to the treadmill but I am not going to grudge another woman her efforts. The first thing we women need to do is stop hating other women because they're making an effort we're not willing to. One tiny matriarchal community does not a trend make. Have you missed the acid attacks? And the dowry we offer for our lovely daughters is mind-numbing. If I'm paying 3 crores for an engineer I'll like him to lose the pot belly and the hair oil please! Colleges with separate benches for boys and girls in salwar kameezes (yes, I can say it like them punjabans!). I'll hardly call that the height of freedom. And I'll say we need to fight against oppression and violence against women instead of just using statistics to score points. At the end of the day, irrespective of geographical location, it is still our gender being oppressed. Amma-appa sound cooler than mom-dad to you? How could you be so petty as to pick up on something so ridiculous? Were you running out of real jokes? Bharatnatyam is a higher art form than the gidda or Kathak because you say so? I'm tired of this whole 'Attitude' we have because to me it reeks of inferiority. And I am damned if I am going to me made to feel inferior about my food, my body, my skin colour or my roots. Let's lighten up, let down the butt length tresses and accept that we play Punjabi music at our discos for fun. You lost me at the girls doing fake marches (check out what these LSR girls are doing, by the way)? What exactly is it that other college kids are doing that is so much more significant? They're just college kids, leave them alone to have fun while they can! What really got to me was the fleeing Pakistan reference. Are we so cold as to make a sneering reference to something that was so painful? Partition brought loss, bodies piled up in trains, blood, entire families wiped out don't we share history with them? Are you kidding when you say that you come from a defence background? I'm horrified that a girl from a defence background has been brought up to be so divisive. Is this the way the other kids in the armed forces think? I won't go into statistics of the Sikh regiment and the history of every family giving a son to the army, all while we were sitting around perfecting an attack on the chess board dipping our paruppu vadais in coconut chutney. Would any of us consider saying something so heartless about Tibet/Kashmir/Cambodia? As for them not liking our food are you kidding me? The Brunch carried an article on how the dosa has become the national dish tit for tat, Hindi as official language! You'll find dosas at every corner stall in Delhi and everywhere else in the country although I must raise an objection to the paneer and Chinese dosas! What if they get started on the image of licking rasam off elbows? Because if we pick on the lowest common denominator to judge them by, they have every right to define us by the elbow lickers. By the end of your post I was embarrassed for you. For the anger, the bitterness, the hatred and the vulnerability you let slip through. I have no idea what brought it on, but a good bottle of wine and some girl friends and a box of tissues might have been more effective. What you've done is unforgivable you've drawn lines and swords and hurt a lot of my 'Punjabi' friends. And oh yes, as someone else said if you don't want to be called Madrasi, learn to differentiate between Punjabi and Delhiite. Everyone is welcome in Delhi, and Munirka and RK Puram are mini-Tamil Nadus themselves. I buy my dosa maav and podi from there. And finally, I'm appalled by some of your lines " Texas chainsaw massacre your face? Your dead Dadi? Your mother's shaven bosom? Kalari your tongue up your ass? Shove so many coconuts? " Way to lose control of your own blog post and make a fool of yourself. These are some of the crassest and most rabid statements I've heard this side of the Vindhyas. It's a pity you fell so low while trying to make a point on superiority or heck, even equality. To quote them Punjabis, you've MC-BCed our case altogether in this badly cobbled together, poor attempt at wit. Because you crossed the line into coarse, foul and ignoble. And you're dragging the rest of us into the mire. Maybe you just need a good nap or a cold glass of coconut water so that you can cool off and consider what you allowed your ire to lead you into. I apologise to all those offended by Ms Shahana's little hissy fit here. We have our good and we have our bad and to attack prejudice with prejudice is not the way the rest of us South Indians work. I need to get back to cracking my IIT now. Apparently Ms Shahana thinks I have no other choice or mind of my own. Now did I put my pen in my Fendi bag or my Gucci clutch? And oh, Ms Shahana, I have a request. In future, do not presume to write on behalf of all Madrasis. Not all of us are quite as bigoted or rabid. Lowe, MM (I proudly spell it Yem-Yay-Dee, Yem-O-Yem-Yem-Yay), yet another mocha coloured Madrasan married to a sweet fayer Sawth Indian boy. PS: Okay lets kiss and make up, North and South Indians. And let's drag the Pakistanis into this with this lovely song Hona Tha Pyar.
Aaku Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 oh sorry i dint see this :(( please merge the replyy :icflove:
Aaku Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Whoaaaaaa Waiting for a reply from the Dilli ke munde Even betterr !! southie girl replied :bhangra: and owned her :hehe:
Holysmoke Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 Loll I m not biased but from what I have seen around' date=' Delhi guys[b'] r more smarter than ur average Madrassis. I know you are trolling, but that was :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Vijay.Sharma Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Even betterr !! southie girl replied :bhangra: and owned her :hehe:Would've preferred a delhi boy's response...somehow the response from another sambhar seems to make the original sambhar's case stronger and re-emphasizes that the dilli boy dunn have the smartness to respond. I guess each place has its own stereotypes. From a safety pov, the Mumbai woman feels the most safe among all Indian cosmo cities and the Dilli woman feels the least. Kolkatans feel the most empowered while Chennai the least. Bangaloreans feel the most independent and Hyderabadis the most compliant. The above are stereotypes no doubt but every stereotype does have a modicum of fact barring which it wouldn't have even formed. I prefer a punjaban with the grace of a bong, the progressive attitude of a bangalorean, the awareness of heritage of a sambhar, the spirit of a mumbaikar, and the looks of a high class sindhi. Now that would be some babe! :--D
Aaku Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Would've preferred a delhi boy's response...somehow the response from another sambhar seems to make the original sambhar's case stronger and re-emphasizes that the dilli boy dunn have the smartness to respond. Nooo then it wouldve become all 'ooo mee zeee, look at the dilli boyzz getting all worked up. they so mean. they so rude. i hate why they so fit.' but a reply from Dilli ki southie chick should shut her up fr a while :giggle:

The dilli munda comes across as a "DUH" for not having the ability to respond to the sambhar's bigotry. The argument that the delhi munda did not fall for the bigotry does not stand up (if someone wants to use it to defend the dilli munda's lack of response) because dilli mundas are pretty much known for their bigotry and chauvinism (just like southies are known for their pot bellies) which is what the sambhar girl was hitting out at in the first place.

I disagree.
Aaku Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 This is one reply from a dilli boy :--D http://disgruntledmob.blogspot.com/2011/09/bhaiyya-palika-bazaar-ka-kitna.html Bhaiyya... Palika Bazaar ka kitna? You will excuse me if this comes across as coarse, crude or even unintelligible. As is usual caveman practice, I carved out the rough draft on a stone tablet with a blunt animal bone. And my fellow cave dwellers kept on distracting me with something about ŽÃ…ŽÃ‡ire? New age nonsense. So well, let's set the record straight. I'm a Delhi Boy? And I'm not a rapist. Or an oppressor of women. I can drive pretty well, and yes, I do appreciate my Rajma Chawal preferably with sweetened curd. But I'm weird like that. Whenever I talk to someone south of the Vindhyas (This is a stretch I dont' even know where the damn mountains are on a map), Im expected to conform to stuff "we people do in the North" From what Im given to understand, there's apparently a large conspiracy afoot to find people ugly, make fun of their cultural/religious leanings and drive my SUV over people on pavements. And you know, I resent this. Most of all because I cant afford an SUV right now. But I also resent this because I grew up with the idea of a consolidated, united India. For the most part, I took that 'ŽÃ‚ll Indians are my brothers and sisters nonsense a little too seriously and ended up being pretty awkward whenever I was asked out for coffee. But that's not the point. I'vee never thought that the people of any part of this nation would behave any differently just because they were from that part of the nation. So to be labeled a ŽÃ…ŽÂ±ig because I know a higher number of Vickys and Rockys than the national average is somewhat unfair. Yes, I will grant you that Delhi per se doesnt' seem to have a stellar track record of safety as far as women are concerned But *******s are *******s. Blaming mindsets might be the right way to go only insofar as you dont' start blaming entire geographical areas and start writing about it on your Stereotypewriters. As far as oppression of women goes is it bad? Yes. It's pathetic and it takes a coward to make someone who loves you go through with something like that. But is it a sole patent pending trademark of us in the North? No. And just so you know, my ex oppressed me more than what allowed by most UN charters. Most of my jokes these days are as a result of that trauma. Be that as it may, would you at least pay heed to what little difference of preference that is ŽÃ…ŽÃ‚llowed? Im allowed to dislike South Indian food. Or North Indian food. Or those stupid Dhoklas those Gujjus keep churning out by the kiloton. (LOLJK, I would probably drive a 4 door sedan over people on pavements for a decent Masala Dosa). Anyway, would any of this make me a racist? No. Would judging someone based on the color of their skin make me one? Yes. Do I think Fairness cream advertisements (or demographic specific matrimony sites) display a stupid bias? Yes. But seriously, do I think this way (or not think this way) because Im from Delhi? Nope. It's common friggin sense. So if I find a way to bring down the Tamilmatrimony.com servers, it's because I think it's a fundamentally bad idea. And not because I want to facilitate the eventual invasion and takeover of the South by thinning down the population over there. And yes, my English sucks. I can barely read or write. I forward a lot of text messages where 'the' is abbreviated to 'dat'. Hell, most of my tweets are stolen Rajnikanth jokes. Again, I ask you, does this make me truly horrible as a person? Im sure there are plenty of rhetorical questions to be asked still, but as it stands, is ANYTHING grounds for thinking two people are the same? Why would you paint me and my neighbours in the same brush? The Sharmas wont hurt a fly. Neither would the Guptas or the Malhotras. But the Varmas three houses down are getting really irritating with their torture of small woodland mammals. All racism is essentially a bad idea. As are most generalizations. As it stands, Im getting progressively more tired of telling people that I am, in fact, a North Korean Jailor in an effort to get them to like me better. I wish you'd help me and my kin get rid of this habit. Adopt a Delhi-ite if you have to. But please remember, "My" culture, is in fact, "Our" culture. So I repeat. Im a Delhi Boy. And Im not any of those things you mentioned. I do pirate the occasional 720p movie, but thatŽÃƒŽÃ” about it. P.s. Im a vegetarian. Or I wouldve indeed mentioned Chicken in some form or the other. Modulate outrage as necessary.
coffee_rules Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 ^Bah...A bland rasam response for a theeka sambhar.
ganeshran Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 One response in the comment section well to start with, I hv a lot of respect for south indian ppl.. they r good in many discipline.. bt i hv 0 respect 4 this female.. it seems tht she is some "not-so-goodlooking" woman somehow trapped btw ultra-hot chandigarh kuddis n she is crying for attention from the hunks in the group!!! feel pity for her..
Yoda-esque Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 ^ Stupid response to a stupid post.Kinda reinforces the stereotype!
ganeshran Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 The post is more a sarcastic rant - on the stereotypes about southies in the north. It is a bit ironic since the post itself is full of generalizations and stereotypes. The comment however is simply stupid and actually drives home the author's point. many of the incidents mentioned in the post do happen in the north - of course not everyone does it but yes - they are something you will come across now and then. The reverse holds true as well. I have heard many southies speak condescendingly of the intellectual capabilities of northies while complaining of the discrimination in the north and not at all realizing the irony of it. Being ghar ka na ghaat ka, I end up having to defend northies and southies both against this :headshake:
