Roads and those

lets talk about the longest running show on indian television - roadies! i doubt there's a single one of us who hasn't seen even one episode of this famous, unpopular with parents, controversial reality show. ;)


some of us may think that all these people on roadies and splitsvilla are naturally this vicious and spiteful, and often, full of so much venom. but as yorish from the invasion said - "In the right situation, we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so ... is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human." 


this just means that when it comes to competition, in the right circumstances, we'd really do anything. this probably explains how and why mohit voted zaid out last week. when its a case of survival, we cease to have all those Christian values of compassion and benevolence et al. suddenly the thought of a mother snake eating her recently hatched young doesn't seem so gruesome, does it? :)


but this doesn't mean we are like that all the time. its important to remember that certain situations can bring out the animalistic instincts in us; it doesn't influence our daily life; which is affected by what we've learnt through civilisation.
