Splitsvillains

Split right down the middle. This is so awesome. A new trend has caught up in our country. Splits. The demands of certain political parties, inspite of all their earnestness has the viewers in splits. I propheise Banana Splits to come back into fashion.

One can imagine the scenario in the days to come. Your Farmville land getting too big to manage? Write to the central government to authorise a splite. So many things in our lives are becoming unmanageable. We must consider what is splitworthy. Recently the common admission tests for management institutes were conducted. It was a massive failure due to

excess server load and mismanagement. Hey, maybe we could ask the exams to be split into two exams with ten day slots each.That might avoid future CATastrophe/CATatonic attitude of the IIMs....no? well how about a CATtle class joke?? forget it...

Maybe divorce/break up being the new trend is actually the root cause of it all. Maybe grown ups are taking lessons from youngsters after all. The cure for incompatibility - split. Or maybe, its just a desire to compete with America to see who has the most no. of states.

Some years down the line the splits could increase exponentially until everyone is living in his own isolated world. Hey, kinda like that flick Surrogates. They all make these dystopian futuristic sci-fi flicks and set it in countries like America or Japan which are doing so well. If you really want to be realistic, you would set it in India. India where everyone touts cultural diversity and yet cant wait to get rid of those different from others.

Ironically, this is a country where local sports team are fanatically supported as if they were patriots off to war. If sports is to be enjoyed, you could realistically support anyone that you like. But no, India means India. Until of course you have actually intereaction/contact with another person. In which case you can't wait to rid yourself of this pest who is so different from you.

Again a point of irony, irony and sarcasm being my only forte, Its funny how its only when talking of division, destruction and chaos that seems to bring a group of people together. While it may be true that a man fighting for his life is the fiercest fighter, in case of a mob, its the one bent on destruction that appears the most dangerous.
