Separate country

There was an article in NDTV on jallikattu and one guy (presumably Tamil) had commented that

"If you can't understand, better allow us to be a separate country".

I was surprised how he can ask for a separate country as if he represents the entire country. I think it all started with the Sri Lankan Tamils issue. I read similar comments when that issue was at it's peak. (I would prefer to arrest that guy for posting such a comment. But it might also end up blowing it to huge proportions unnecessarily.)

Anyway, that comment kindled my imagination and I wonder where this could end up...

Central govt does not understand the plight of Lankan Tamils... -> separate TN  from India.

Chennai-ites don't understand the importance of jallikattu... -> separate Rest of TN from Chennai

Madurai is not respecting the sentiments of Dindugal and other towns like that... -> separate country

Aththippatti not respected by Cuddalore... -> separate country

At this rate, at one point, we will end up like...

There is a cricket match played between 2 countries today. The match for today is: Ganapathy colony country vs Thandu Mariamman Koil Street country.

Super singer

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Super singer programme conducted by STAR Vijay is banned by Supreme Court. The programme is accused of spoiling young children and teaching them bad things so early in life. This is created a huge uproar in several cities and people have started protesting against this.
The spokesperson of the protesters' organisation (#WeSupportSuperSinger) told to a national channel that this is suppression of fundamental rights and this program is part of the culture. This is a planned attack by US & UK so that we will not get more children who would end up working in their countries. He also accused PETC (People for Ethical Treatment fire Children) for getting funds from these countries to ban this program. People will now lose motivation to get more children and the Indian population will start to diminish.
Earlier, there was a proper eco-system wherein people started having children and train them to be good singers by sending them to this competition. After the competition, they get graduated and end up applying for US/UK visa. Finally they get settled there. But now, due to lack of motivation, people do not want to get any more children. The TN government has announced a one-day bandh to force the Central Government to introduce a new law not to ban Super Singer. The PM has convened an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss this.

Note: Any comparison of this protest with Jallikattu is imaginary.
