Proud to be an Alig

Aligarh Muslim University Student's Union has announced the
Proud to be an Alig
fest. Good. But there is a hitch. Pride is a major sin. And in case you are still unaware let us recapitulate that a major sin is one which tilts the balance in favour of Hell. Yes, Hell with a capital H. And your plea that we are being fussy is not being admitted. Plea over ruled. There is a purpose for which we have been sent to this world. And it is utterly bogus idea to ignore that purpose while indulging in worldly affairs.

If this much is clear then we can start looking for the way out. No, not before that. Ready? Good. One can say that I am Happy to be an Alig. Or Glad. Or Honoured. Or Thrilled. Take your pick. In case you are still sulking for not being allowed to be proud then just think that nobody likes proudy people. Moreover you have been given so many options to choose from. Or to choose all of them. So go ahead and be happy, glad, thrilled, honoured and all that. But wait a minute. We have got another axe to grind.

Oh, well let us not be the spoil sport. So go ahead and have your fest.

And yes, we wrote the first blog post Mr Aamir Qutub. Send the early bird prize, pronto!
