Forced to get up by my annoying alarm clock I go for my daily morning walk in the park when I am a little more than surprised to see two girls ( around 14 yrs) standing by the walkway with a poster boldly stating “FREE HUGS”.
So obviously the Spanish Inquisition (by all the elderly men and women in the vicinity) starts,which is embarrassing everyone present (mostly the girls).
I thought it was some kind of social experiment where they take a camera and record the people who have the audacity to take these young naive girls up on this offer.
I was wrong,not only did they not bring a videocam it turns out,it wasn’t some kind of social experiment!
These young girls had apparently come to the park without telling their parents what they are going to do,unmindful of the various contagious diseases that they can receive as a thank you gift for their services.(Call the C.D.C. stat! We’ve got idiots giving free hugs! )
At the peril of sounding like an old woman,I feel that these girls have taken to mindless mimicry of what they perceive is the real world on their idiot-box.
I think that these girls just tune out when their parents put on the news channel, completely ignorant of the world around them, then they venture out in the search of mythical harmony and happiness when it is actually rife with hunger and desolation and crazy people.(point in case)
This makes me question-has Disney /Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon turned their brains fuzzy? ( no offense spongebob)
Have they not heard of ‘Stranger Danger’?
In what kind of sissy, protected environment have they been raised, that “Free Hugs” does not mean “Have Your Way With Me!”.
Or are these girls really interested in changing the world a hug at a time.(influenced by “haan mein crazy hoon” coke ads).
They left their spot eventually, roaming with their rolled up poster vehemently stating “Everyone needs to feel special!”.
Why don’t they adopt a puppy and hug it?Then they could save the world a puppy at a time!
My shock at the naivete was only highlighted by the incident that took place when I was reaching home.
An elderly lady (around 60-65) seeing me in the middle of the road suddenly opens her purse.
What I expected was an address (for asking me directions), but to my shock it turned out to be a dirty icky comb(Barf!).
Then she turns around and says”Beta ,yeh comb kar do na!”.
What stares me in my face is her wet oily sticky hair, the audacity of that woman to stand in the middle of the road and ask me to comb her hair!
So I make up an excuse and say that my hands are dirty so I cannot, and make a beeline for the lift.
She literally runs ahead of me to occupy the lift with her two sons that are both twice my age.
So obviously I wait for the lift,when an elderly man waits with me.
Taking to my bout of grumbling, I say in a whisper loud enough to be heard, “She is asking me to comb her hair,next she would like me to wipe her a**,who does she think she is? The queen of England?!”
I enter the lift and turn around to see a shell shocked flustered elderly gentleman (who was the crazy lady’s husband !) ,who is checking his mobile as though he wished it were a portal to an alternate universe.
Then I realise that stupidity is an epidemic that is effecting all ages!
SAVE YOURSELVES!
Television has rotted brains and left these nincompoops behind who think the world will hug them and comb their hair and then go on a ride on a unicorn!
TANGLED IN STUPIDITY!
