The Great South Indian Logic!

We as South Indians have our own way of interpreting things. We have this funny habit of making a few rules which actually do not have any basis, no associated theory or facts as proof, but then are enforced on us in such a way that we have no choice but to accept them and associate with some kinda logic of our own, which in the end actually looks as if it was something deeply analysed and hence concluded upon.So here we go!

Logic 1:
If there is an elder brother in the family and he has a love marriage, it will not hav much effect on the younger brother. If there is an elder sister in the family and she has a love marriage, the future of the younger one is doomed.It will imply that u r not from a good family.
Future of the younger sister is directly proportional to the present and past of the elder sis.

Logic 2:
U r expected to have kids as soon as u get married(i mean as soon as possible!), But even before the day of your marriage, u r expected to be a goody-two-shoes.It is wrong even if you go out on a date with the guy you are engaged to.
A female is known to be homely, if she has zero knowledge of sexual intercourse and other related stuff.But boom, after one month of marriage u (I mean the girl :P) should get pregnant! otherwise something is wrong!
The more dumb you are, the more homely you are considered to be! Hopeless logic, huh!

Logic 3:
Complicated relationships(Cheeni kum kind or say some tamil movie with a story line similar to that of life in a metro) and glamour are accepted only in small and big screens. I have to make a special mention of a mallu soap here,which am sure all mallus watch(thts wat my granny told me:P)where all the characters are married and have kids, but there is some confusion about who is who's kid. The whole story line is about which character had an affair with whom, why and when. The whole soap is about sorting out who belongs to whom. A soap which questions the very basis of an individual's existence.The wierdest soap ever.I know, its too wierd to be real.

In reality, south Indians believe that such things dont even exist on earth. Whatever happens on screen happens only on screen. Anything other than what happens around them is either virtual or impossible.

The idea of this write up is not to criticise south Indians. All that I wanna say is that they have such beautiful and out of box perceptions.They are undoubtedly humorous people.There is such a lot of cultural influence in the way they look at and do things, which I should say is truly amazing! I have not seen anybody respect one's tradition and values so much like the south Indians do. Am proud to be a southie! Or shall I put it this way.. May be there is much more to their complicated logic which my small brain is unable to decipher. Come on, we should look at all possibilities!!

Well Welll....First of all Congrats for writing such good blogs, every now and then.....

But this time, even if the logics stated by you are there in existence...they are not just practicised by Southies...many Indians or "North Indians" as u Call them, also do.

At the same time, a logic was appearing to me as if deduced from UR personal experience ???

Ha ha haa.. I did not wanna generalise my logic for Indians on the whole, Cus I have not lived in the north and dont really know how ppl out there percieve things.

Well.. Logic 1... This is the only place where I can burst out watever I feel, and hence I voiced it out here:).. Thanks to blogspot!
