Editorial Hilarity

I always wondered how the jobs of smart drilled HRs must be years back when I was searching for work! Years later when I now decide who I hire and who I reject, I come across myriad personalities! Eager beavers, intelligence reborns, knuckleheads, "dumb blondes", pseudo intellectuals et al.

Now, take this for instance, I have here compositions by two editor hopefuls. I was blasted when I went through them, and had to give it space in my blog for hilarity's sake.

Get a grip, this kicks ass!

"Geography: Geography is a important subject of all student. Geography means, "geo" means earth and "graphy" means study. So it is called study of earth. There are seven country and five ocean in the earth. The seven country are---Asia, Eurup, North america, South America, Asteliya, Affica, and North Pole. Asia is the biggest country of the world. Our India is situated in Asia country." 

"Sex: sex is feelings of mind. There is two type of sex in the world. i.e. one is male and one is female. Basically the male person are more interested on female. In another words we all are depends on opposite sex. Less no. of person can live without sex. Less no. person has sex. They are called Hijira. They are most unhappy person."

This literally kicks ass!!

Not surprisingly these guys didn't make it to the official list. They were invited for an interview but they absconded.

  

"Manipur:Countdown to Annihilation"

I chose this heading to exactly describe the feeling I came back with after my brief visit to my homeland...I mean, how do you describe your family that's gone rotten to the core, without being passionate about it, I can't do it. 

I had gone home to Manipur after a gap of a year and a half hoping to find wrong all the vile inputs I had been getting from news and views and I was distraught to find them all too true. The roads had gone to the dogs, electricity the source of development was conditional which directly resulted in all business requiring power to go back to the stone ages;  thieves were ruling the roost, and petrol pumps played the perfect joker displaying "no stock" in anticipation of higher prices whence they could sell their avarice at a higher price; killings left and right, usual nationalism excuse, I can go on and on...  

The 6 days and 6 nights I spent there, never did a day pass without me thinking how this would all end and I wished a thermonuclear device would explode right over this valley taking everybody with it and sparing only those deserving of life and continuity; O how I wish a Hitler would rise and strike an iron hand and smite these worms and pests that wriggle in and out of the sludge and then plough the land for a new begining where there would be no worms and pests.

Where are we? What should we do? When...
