Unjust! Unjust!

I was wondering, as I most often do when I have nothing better to do, why do I write blogs.: I like reading other people's blogs, but surely, if I were to peruse my writings, I would find it undeniably depressing, moody and suicidal.

Coming to the title of the piece ( as I like to call my ramblings as), I remember Charlotte Bronte using this particular phrase, "Unjust, Unjust!" in Jane Eyre, when the protagonist was shut in the Red Room during her childhood.







Gawd help us!








Mr Manish Sabharwal, of Teamlease mentioned about the ovarian lottery in his guest lecture today, and I can't but help myself ponder upon how name games play an important part of our lives ( and for an unlucky few, deaths as well ).

Why do we have to blame the ovaries when the testicles are equally at fault! Surely I have not been taught the wrong life science lessons in my school classes: that it takes unfaltering effort from both of them for procreation!

Had I been Mr Warren Buffet ( then I would have been unimaginable rich, but that is beside the point here ), I would have rather chosen a more hygienic and unbiased name for the 'world is unfair' concept of his : perhaps "The game of the Winning Wombs' would have been more suited: though it is not totally unbiased to gender, it sounds a tad more hygienic and clinical.

To those of us who got the wrong ticket in the ovarian lottery, it would have been a consolation had we had a chance to play a game in the winning womb; that way everyone would have at least have a chance, however insignificant, to prove themselves and carve their t; and if we lose, then we would have had walked away proudly, with our head held high, saying, 'we tried' at the same time mumbling about sour grapes.

@sanjay
At least I have one regular reader.

And I agree, he would have been Warren Buffet, no matter where he was born, he will always have the winning ticket with him.

supraregular ;)

warren buffet by this ovarian lottery principle of his seems to be a person who lays importance on fate.
I won't trust him with my money.

Unjust, yeah, but what's in a name?

@what's in a name?
A name is a first impression. A rose by any other name may smell equally sweet, but I am sure it would be less romantic.
And what is a rose without a hint of romance?

i don't think names per say make any difference.... my name is unusual .. but i love it!!!

@daman kohli

Contradicting statements you have.
" i don't think names per say make any difference..."

alright, then how come you

" my name is unusual... but I love it!!!"

So if name does not make any difference,you should be indifferent to your unusual too.

And I shall not comment on those 3 exclamation marks at the moment. :p

so you have another regular reader from now on.... though this one has a weak sense of comprehension !

I guess the ovarian lotteries personifiy a legion of traits. As they say - "All men are the same, but can we dare to say the same about them".
