I always thought i had a passion for standup comedy, but people discourage me by saying my jokes are lame. Anyway, (fashionable, but grammatically wrong to use Anyways) here is my thoughts for jokes as and when they come and being a believer in FREEDOM OF SPEECH (except someone propagating violence/violent generating posts) this is an open one and everything is said in humor and people should not take it as discriminatory or other high fi words the intellectual socials use.
In Today's world it is very difficult to be a standup comedian unlike in the past (before social media) when people used to crack jokes on bengalis, sardars, tamilians, parsis etc. etc and people used to treat it as a joke and enjoy the moment. Not so any more. Any joke on anyone brings out words out of woodwork like termites - words like racism, likely to cause turbulence, immature, take back the joke, apologize and so on. The list is endless and trolling the biggest of them. If by chance anyone cracks a joke on ethinic or regional one, you will be roasted on the national channel about India wants to know (90% would not be bothered to know as buzy with their own thing) for TRP's. You will be asked by a panel of 10 debaters and anchor occupying most of the time- why you cracked this- is this not racism, apologize. Some other bringing in a political angle of bjp, congress or aap.
My only answer is that the whole intention was to bring a smile on people's face as somehow we seem to have lost them in the quest for TRP's which only wants to raise peoples BP.
Thus the only safe joke now a days is on BIWI, who fortunately is married and would not want to insult the husband or take him to jail.
So, will try my best to be on the neutral ground as trollers could even force my blog to close for innocuous reasons.
