To, The chatspeak haters club on the internet

This is to all the bozos who think that they are much full of intelligence, consider chatspeak as a retard's teminology and care about their younger generation that they will start sucking in grammar.

So... Wat iz wrong in dis sentence? Grammar FAIL, rite? Lets talk.

Every place has its culture, behaviour, a shape, ascent. These entities define these places, it brings a sense of heritage to the place. And in the same lines I think that internet being a place, should also have its culture. Hey, you cannot sit and decide it one fine afternoon, it just builds up by itself. And thus, OMG u c wat has been built up, LuLz!!111. Not saying that chatspeak was the best thing that happened to the internet, but every culture has its problems. I am not very proud about a number of things of my nation's culture, my mother tongue has issues, my institute's culture had few jerks, but I respect them, I relish them, proud of them! It's my heritage!

YES its difficult to understand it first, but that's what defines it. When you are able to understand and when you write chatspeak, you feel like merging in the internet society. And not to forget, you as an individual, can always go about writing proper grammar english, like I am writing in this post. I, for one, think that chatspeak is awesome! I sometimes like to write it that way, and will continue to write it that way whenever I feel like, and you artards can't do shit about it. Suck it up.

Not to mention chatspeak is quicker to write! And seeing that whatever we read or write on the internet is mostly garbage, why waste your time writing full words? Yes, I knowz adding a 'z' after a word rather makes it longer, but other than those few anomalies, most of the words in chatspeak are shorter versions of oh-so-holy-proper-grammar's version. Also, its funny to read as well too sometimes.

And my excessive usage of internet does not affect my vocabulary at all! We humans are capable of adaptation and understanding many languages/ascents. When I have to write formal emails, I automatically follow grammar and I don't lose it. Moreover many words from different cultures/languages are included in the oxford English dictionary, why not a few from chatspeak?

And seriously, who, in the world, has ever given a fuck about the upcoming generation of your unborns? Fine, few of you care, but, there's your mother tongue, which affects your pronunciation of english, there are bad teachers, local influences, blame them? but, "nooooooooo!! internet is the culprit! Ruining our society and bringing war to this world." Lets face it, you were new in town, got flamed with chatspeak, and now you just want some attention, because no one really wants to hear your shit.

wateva, wateva, i'll do wat i wan! roflz, lulz!!111 omg wtf? imho dis shit doesnt make sense

Durga Pooja, Jabalpur, 2009

Durga Pooja in Jabalpur is seriously serious. The count of pandals all over the city is incredible and the quality of artwork is brilliant. You will just keep looking at the small small details the artists work on. Easily second best Durga Pooja after Kolkata hands down. I was blessed to go home (jabalpur) during dussehra this time around. Some pics:

The wish to be unique is visible in many statues. Single color, marble sort of look given to the whole setup:
Goddess on lotus (giving the illusion of) floating on water.
Pandal entrance. See the crowd. Perfect for pick pockets. But you know what? I havn't heard any such cases, people really have faith during the celebration.
Some like to go unconventional, and try to depict a war scene mixing with the traditional stances
Some organizers maintain consistency. For e.g., the Pooja at telegraph are known for angry face goddess Durga (since my childhood, thats arnd 25yrs, they have remained consistent)
This is one of the small pandals, believe me
See the size of the following statueSome times, just watching the pandals gives the fillAgain, compare the size of the statue with the person standing in front. Truly divine.Check out the complete album here
