My friend does something which is called 'arty-farty programming'(Arts Programming). I have nothing against the arts or programming part, what amuses me is the farty part. Why farty?? Is that really bad? A lot has been spoken and written about that arty part. So, let me elaborate on the farty part, at the risk of being termed as irritating, mindless or whichever adjective you may choose.
Since childhood we
Bongs are taught Fart or Paad/Gas Maara (break the wind) is something disgusting
and that we shouldn’t fart in public. So, as a child I guess each one us had to
find our very own farting place, away from the olfactory glands of others. Well,
I know farting is smelly but it’s so natural. According to the dictionary: an emission of intestinal gas from the
anus, esp an audible one. See, how natural it is!
I can bet on my imaginary millions pounds stashed in a Swiss Bank
account, that every one farts, some admit and some don’t. I admit once again, farts
can be disgusting to our sense of smell but please let us not take that ‘holier
than thou attitude’ and reduce it to a taboo. You can take out your hanky to
cover your nose when you get the smell of fart and get irritated, but please ‘don’t
pretend that you don’t fart, as your intestines are listening.’
I see columns on how to find the right partner, they give shitty advice,
don’t follow them. Listen to me: fart in a closed room with that ‘would be
partner in life’ sitting next to you. If you get a reaction, after which you
will remember to suppress your 'future' farts , in front of that person, then
reader you are doomed for life. You really need to get out of that
relationship!
Perhaps, thinking really irrationally we can have an exhibition on ‘fart
being the purest form of art’ as it emanates from the inside of the human body. We can say 'Fart' is the neo-Indian Grotesque Art, as it hits your sense of smell directly
and thus leading to the involuntary realisation of the grotesqueness of the 'art' itself.
Nicely theorized!
Yes, I can go on and on with that, because everyone I know farts, just that
they have a very good place to hide that smell.
PS: I started it with my friend being an arty-farty programmer, well
lost that thread. Some other time,if the farts come out well.
