			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Click to enlarge" href="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/may/02look.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/may/02look.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="303" /></a>They are at it again, Chennai&#8217;s moral police will leave no stone unturned as they&#8217;ve drawn their swords and this time round its Ms.Share-a-watt. At the star studded audio release function for &#8216;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasavatharam">Dasavatharam</a>&#8216; held recently it wasn&#8217;t <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_chan">Jackie Chan</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitabh_Bachchan">Big B</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hema_Malini">Hema Malini</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karunanidhi">Kalaignar</a> or even the man of the moment <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamal_Haasan">Padmashri Kamal Haasan </a>who received the maximum eyeballs. Shocked? Well it was the screen goddess who will star opposite to him in his magnum opus <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallika_Sherawat">Ms.Molly-Kya Share-a-watt</a>. It seems like upholding the moral values and preserving &#8216;Tamizh Kalaacharam&#8217; has become the tashan of the &#8216;Hindu Makkal Katchi&#8217;. These bhaktas of &#8216;<a href="http://www.maxdavinci.com/blog/baba-bangali/baba-bangali/">Baba Bangali</a>&#8216; have lodged a complaint and in their own words</p>
<blockquote><p>the actress, by wearing a mini skirt and exposing her back, had caused &#8216;mental agony to the people of Tamil Nadu. By sitting cross legged on the dais where the Chief Minister was also seated, she had not only behaved disrespectfully but had also conducted herself indecently.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-203"></span><a title="Click to enlarge" href="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/apr/28sld3.jpg"><img class="alignleft" style="float: left;" src="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/apr/28sld3.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="157" /></a>Cross-legged?? Wow! Sorry couldn&#8217;t find that pic, but if anybody does please leave a comment. Poor Ms.Share-a-watt was unaware bout the <a href="http://in.rediff.com/movies/2008/jan/14shriya.htm">Shriya fiasco</a> but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asin_Thottumkal">Ms.A-Sin</a> was clever enough to take the cue. Well I&#8217;ve managed to contact Baba Bangali and ask him his views on the actions of his loyal bhaktas. The great Baba has honored this space by using it to send them a message and preferring this blog over regular print media.  It must be noted that the views of the  Baba are solely his and this blog doesn&#8217;t take responsibility for any  effigies burnt or  sentiments hurt.</p>
<p>Dear Bhakta HMK,</p>
<p>I can understand what you are going through and the &#8216;mental agony&#8217; caused by Ms.Share-a-watt. I agree that it&#8217;s tough to get your GFs/wives to prance around in such nothings and you&#8217;re hurt coz these filmwallahs have all the luck. But then egos and jealousy aside you also have to account for the heavy inflation rates. With the economy stuttering at 7.5% and inching towards 8%, you should actually salute the spirit of the woman for setting an example. The nation is facing a crisis with rising prices and commodities becoming dearer, and women like Ms.Share-a-watt and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kareena_Kapoor">Ms.Curry-now Cup-oor</a> are doing their bit for the economy. They are role models for a new generation ushering a new age, with their frugal choice of garments. I strongly advise you to join them in this revolution and practice what they preach.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Baba Bangali,</p>
<p>Couple of weeks ago we successfully raised  our voice against a <a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Sivaji-02.jpg">popular</a> south-indian <a href="http://im.rediff.com/movies/2008/jan/14look2.jpg">actress</a>. The protest deeply cut through media while people stood up and took notice of our activities.  After having announced our arrival we are now looking for another issue so that we are not skirted away by the media. We seek your blessings, and direction as we scout for the next celebrity-award-function.</p>
<p>Your ardent devotees,</p>
<p>Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK)<br />
<span id="more-185"></span><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Bhakta HMK,</p>
<p>First things first, I would like to thank you for the pics which are now safely stashed in my hard drive for future reference. I failed to see what you saw or maybe I zoomed too much, anyways I request all my bhaktas to save the images to gauge the threats to our so-called-culture. On my way to the ashram I heard some kids chant a few shlokas you call rhymes, I&#8217;d rather call them crimes! Take this for example.</p>
<blockquote><p>Jack and Jill, wen Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water<br />
Jack fell down and broke his crown<br />
And Jill came tumbling after.<br />
Up got Jack, and home did trot As fast as he could caper<br />
He went to bed and bound his head<br />
With vinegar and brown paper.</p></blockquote>
<ul>
<li>The poor little kids have been sent to fetch water from atop a hill, No parent would do that. It&#8217;s a clear cut case of exploitation and the chai/bajji-stall where they work ought to be shut down! Get the human rights commission(NHRC) to support you on child labor.</li>
<li>You could take out a protest against the corporation for not providing basic amenities and forcing the public to trek miles and fetch water from a hilltop. Add a pic of an old and feeble woman or a pregnant lady and extract extra leverage from the media!</li>
<li>Children are forced to visualize the image of a boy with a cracked skull and a girl rolling down the slope of a hill. These ghastly images will stay in their minds long after they are out of nursery and may give rise to violent tendencies. get a psychiatrist to back this theory!</li>
<li>The male protagonist here has completely ignored his female friend. Even at such a tender age kids are taught to ill-treat the girl child. As he runs home leaving the poor girl to tend to herself we clearly see the bias against the weaker sex. You might try getting feminists to unite and support your protest.</li>
<li>The boy seems to have gone to bed and this shows negligence on behalf of the parents. You might try voicing against poor parenting and how the concept of working parents harms the growth of their children and eke out a cultural angle to it as well.</li>
<li>The boy has used vinegar and brown paper to patch his broken skull, lack of awareness! You can protest against the NCERT for not imparting basic first-aid as part of school curriculum and goad the govt to make people aware like those polio adverts.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ah! I could go on, but I guess these should keep you busy for a while,  do feel free to visit me for darshan.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Baba bangali..</p>
