enna kivudana maadayya
Do you know that vachana in Kannada "enna kivudana maadayya tande". - O Lord, please make me deaf!
I was praying thus yesterday. Why? Because I could not bear the high decibel arguments of Arnab's channel.
It was about some ministers participating in pak function. Arnab told in a very "strict" voice. We brought out the case of Mani Shankar Aiyyar's dinner party and we will do the same if your party people attend pakistani functions. They are the people who are killing our soldiers and so on.
And of course he will have to shout with all his strength ( I am sure he will never be constipated) because he speaks for the nation. Of a billion people. If one person's voice is x decibels, then Arnab should speak with a loudness of x X 1 billion. Now you know.
And the people he brings to the show will have out shout him in order to be heard, of course. And they have to talk his language - so if Mr Patra tells a lady from opposition party that she is a "gaddar" again and again, that is also understandable.
But knowing is different and bearing that noise (every day) is different. And my husband like so many others (may be half of urban population of India) watches his shows everyday.
So I prayed to God to make me deaf. I am sure there are millions of housewives across India who may pray similarly.
It may so happen that on the election day (not of namma kannada nadu, but of our "nation"), these women may decide to vote for the party which is not Arnab's just to get rid of him.
Amen to that.
