Its really been quite a while since i have blogged.. close to 9 months..
almost the kinda time that a Human offspring takes up to acquire its existence..
may all this while that i spent with my own self for its due reckoning bear fruit..On this very note..coming back to what made me come to this very topic..
it goes like this..
i had been to a trek to Lohgad..near Lonavla..this weekend..
It was great...and more.. about which i shall enlighten u in the near future..
but as of now..
lets ponder over a major issue that kinda came to the fore..or rather an honest reckoning..
its not long ..since it was this very time yesterday..that i was about to topple over a stone, large enough to be confused with a small rock..
lying in an unorganised manner right in the center of our treading path..
i almost toppled and said,"Oh.. F**k"!!later a little late in the evening..we were completely drenched ..
all those drizzles and all that wind sent a chill up our respective spines...
changing into dry clothes had become much imminent before we started our journey back towards our city abodes..
in those environs it was hard to find a shelter which could house all guys and gals to change into dry clothes!but,
to our sheer relief v saw a temple and a room in the backside..
but wait..it was without a door..
Yet Still..the girls managed somehow..whilst v dreaded to change in the open..
Hard to imagine.. but later on.. v decided to change in the very temple room in front of a deity..
it was almost 6'o clock.. and for that weather quite dark,too..
and suddenly i realised i had lost my spectacles somewhere..
and it was in this furore of this 'clothes changing' thing..
i muttered..although out of sheer frustration.. "Oh, F**k".. again..
One of My friends did exert a bit of resentment over my utterance..
But it was more do to do with the fact that we were in a temple..
however yet again it was long lost in other important things at that time..I am not delusional by all means...Let alone friends..they were and are...far from perfect in other ways but certain individuals..
when it came to bad language these specific individuals didn't use it at all.I am still using this F word with reckless abandon.
Is it the vocabulary fashion or are we as a society really that unintelligent that we can't possibly come up with a better expression?
I challenge anyone who is like me to try for one day,I mean REALLY.. try to replace it or cut it out entirely.What the F**k??you have nothing to loose.
This will be a challenge for me but I am in the game.There's an f-bomb that abounds here.
Many people use it without even realizing it,but it's always a word that makes my ears perk up a little bit.Because it's so commonly used,the word does slip out from my mouth from time to time,
but I try to avoid its flippant usage and make sure that the word is used in a proper context.Where The F**k Did F**k Come From????Ever wondered??
This word would easily be the most used word world wide.I mean each and everyone of us use it anywhere and everywhere(some places we use it in mind,but the point is we use it).
Well,here’s a bit of a research…
may be someone said it just right..”know what you speak”.
Wait a sec did anyone say that?What the f**k?Neways..
The origin of the f-word meaning ’sexual intercourse’ is actually rather obscure.
There is a legend that the old name for the crime of rape was ‘Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge’,and part of the punishment was that an abbreviation of the crime would be branded on the perpetrators head.Hence,
people with ‘F. U. C. K.’ on their head were known to be rapists.
A similar story is that during the time of the plague when it was necessary to increase the population a royal injunction was issued telling the common folk to ‘Fornicate Under Command of the King.’
These, however,would appear to be acronyms intentionally spelling out an existing word rather than new creations themselves.Records from as early as 1278 identify a man called John Le-Fucker(which, considering people often had names to do with their occupations, makes the mind boggle),
and it was certainly in common usage by the 16th Century,appearing in a dictionary,John Florio’s A World of Words,in 1598.By the 18th century,it had became a vulgar term;
It was even banned from the Oxford English Dictionary.DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover(written in 1928) was the first serious(i.e. non-pornographic)book in English to use the word accurately and in context and was famously banned for over thirty years.In 1960,US publishers Grove Press won a court case permitting it to publish the book in America,meaning it was the first time the word had been legally used in print,
while three years later,
the ban was overturned in a British court in the infamous ‘Lady Chatterley trial’.Quite something for the 'reckon'ist inside me.. but i guess too much to take in a single go..
so folks i will wrap it up.. here..
and with a promise that i will also try and be more active here.. henceforth!!
so until then as they say"Hasta La Vista" and i shall be back!!
