fantastic article on the hindu dated 29/08
i have a habit of glancing through old newspapers and stumbled upon a great article
whether being a good guy is essential for a kid? http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/08/29/stories/2007082950160400.htm
for a person who has been mr.Goody-two-shoes all his life and whose notoriety resume's only item is scaling the college wall while escaping from college day celebrations....! the article touched upon a debate i always had within me... being good or bad i
the only advantage u get by being good is some god awful nickname is fruit( i mean its tamil translation pazham :P), baby or some crap like that.. if you take the dark side u get fame and fortune and have fun doing it too... but of course since i belong to the other camp i dont quite agree with all of the authors views... but it makes a good read.
Labels: good v/s bad, hindu., piece of my mind

The dark side ur referring to is the dark side of being good?? couldn't get u... and what does "the other camp" refer here...
(sorry my analytical skills aren't up to the mark)
He is the one who gets all the laughs, the adulation, the fluttering eyelashes, and even if they loathe admitting it, the grudging respect of the teachers. There is something just so irresistibly charming about a person who willingly flouts authority, and lives to tell the tale.
I agree with this...
..I jus try to balance between being a 'pazham' and it's converse.
the dark side refers to the opposite of good...
and i guess u are really vetti reading ma blog and commenting as well...
