Yet Anoyher Day…

Posted by admin under: Uncategorized.

Softly towards the end of the day, as the sunshine faded away,
I asked myself: was the day good enough?
Was it perfect?
Yes, just good enough came the reply.
There was still much left to be desired.
Lots of promises made, many of them left unfulfilled,
Exchanged huge laughter, yet a feeling of loneliness from within,
At times whished to fly into the open inaccessible sky, into the
blue-black freedom of space;
But, a sense of belonging to my soil, a duty to cheer my people
pulled my back.
Nevertheless, as another day draws to a finish,
As I sail into a new dawn, give me the strength to look at the ocean and
not the wave; the will to fight till the end and not to fall;
the passion to live and not just to exist;
May the evil get burnt with the bonfire of the day and the light of
the new dawn bring with itself a ray of hope into the despaired World.
Let no soul starve, as when hunger strikes it feels terrible.
May the world be spared with good health and happiness for the
coming day.
For, tomorrow is yet another day,
A new ray of hope!

Will the Real Men Please Stand Up?

Posted by admin under: Uncategorized.

Rumor has it that Real Men are back. Since September 11, such dissonant authors as the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd and the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan have been scribing odes to the brave men, working class’ heavy-lifting heroes, and scolding America for not recognizing them as “The Real Men” all along. Glossies rave over “fireman chic.” Velvet ropes rot while fashion’s finest pretend to shoot pool and wait for “The Real Men” to show up. Concurrently, the entertainment industry steps up to promote our sentiments. My question is, how long’s this gonna last?

Of course firemen, policemen, and rescue workers are Real Men. They’re the same Real Men early feminists pummeled with hardback copies of The Feminine Mystique. How sad, how ridiculous, that it took a hideous act of terror to hijack America’s attention from Survivor spats and trampy VH-1 fashion awards. But what exactly are Media championing here? The values of our heroes? Or their newfound status in desperate times? There’s something a little, well, grotesque, about fawning over firefighters as if they were celebrities.

Celebrities are fantasies. We feast on them, conjuring rumors for the purpose of entertainment and to temporarily distract us from ourselves. We alternately worship, judge, and denigrate them. Then we get bored. This fickle behavior is predictable and probably healthy in some childish way as long as we’re talking about the usual fare: actors, rock stars, athletes, pin-ups, ect. But firemen? Policemen? If we’ve learned anything from this tragedy, it’s to give our rescue workers the respect they deserve.

As for what constitutes a Real Man, Media, in its usual fashion, take the all or nothing stance. Life-saver: real man. Regular guy: forget about it. There are lots of Real Men nominees out there. Not that they interested me. You see, before September 11, my tastes in men were erratic as any fad. Attention deficit and manic with rush lust, I chased the most peculiar guys I could find.
