The Mask Needs to be Seen as “Constantly Trying”
THE PURPOSE OF ALL EXPRESSION, COMMUNICATION, ART AND LITERATURE IS NOT TO EXPRESS FEELINGS, VENT OUT EMOTIONS, LET OFF STEAM, INCREASE AWARENESS, INFORM, PROVOKE, OUTRAGE, AROUSE, OR EVOKE A SMILE WITH INTELLIGENT WIT. THE PURPOSE OF ALL EXPRESSION, COMMUNICATION, ART AND LITERATURE IS TO CAUSE A CHANGE. The movie “Anonymous” is an outstanding movie that deals…
The Mask Shalt Not be Named
YOU ARE WRONG NOT BECAUSE YOU SAID SOMETHING FACTUALLY INCORRECT OR WRONG, BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU SAID IT. In the mid 1980s, a petition was filed in the Calcutta High Court to demand a ban on Quran, for reasons obvious to any well-meaning informed human being with a conscience. Even the most devout and orthodox…
The Masks Thrive By Creating Chaos
IT IS SUICIDAL TO IGNORE THE TRUTH THAT DISEASED IDEOLOGIES SPREAD LIKE WILD-FIRE BY EMPOWERING AND MANDATING EVERY PRACTICING MEMBER TO CREATE UNBRIDLED CHAOS. How much effort does it take to kill a person point-blank? The Hindu leader Kamlesh Tiwari was killed by being stabbed 15 times in the upper part of the body with…
An Advice to The Self-Entitled Masks – Try “Civilization”.
THE “BELIEVERS” OF ALL TYPES CAN ROT IN THEIR PARADISE. WE DON’T CARE.

The Mask Either Wins or Wins
TO WIN ALL WARS, YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO WIN AS A “VICTOR”, AND YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO WIN AS A “VICTIM”. Every Friday afternoon, a large part of India comes to a halt for several hours. After their lunch, hordes of pious, religious people take a stroll to designated places, taking a few…
The Mask is A Broken Record
IT IS EASY TO PREDICT EVERY RATIONALE AND ARGUMENT IN PUBLIC NARRATIVES. THE ARGUMENTS IN THE PUBLIC NARRATIVES REFLECT WELL-THOUGHT-OUT-AGENDAS, NOT WELL-THOUGHT-OUT-INSIGHTFUL-TRUTHS. Recently, a RJ, noted mostly for two of her abilities – ongoingly and persistently defending her undefendable religion, and making an ass of herself in the process every few days – displayed what…
My Mask Commands me to Hate You. Don’t Hate Me For That.
SOME DEBATES ARE LOST THE MOMENT YOU SANCTIFY THEM BY PARTICIPATING IN THEM. SOME DEBATES DO NOT NEED ARGUMENTS AND FACT-FINDING, BUT OUTRIGHT REJECTION AND TOTAL INVALIDATION.

The Gold-Plated Mask is The Most Dangerous Mask
A NOBLE VALUE OR PHILOSOPHY THAT YOU FIND VERY INSPIRING IS PROBABLY JUST A BEAUTIFULLY PACKAGED PERSONAL VENOM.

All Masks Should Speak in One Voice
EVERYONE TRYING TO TELL YOU “WE NEED TO SPEAK IN ONE VOICE” SIMPLY MEANS – “YOU NEED TO SPEAK IN MY VOICE”.
