 WHY DO WE USE GAALIS (ABUSES)???

Belonging to a town in Punjab and being a part of a family where like any normal family, in spite of many verbal brawls commonly occurring between my family members, I still found my father, my uncles and my cousins communicating in a socially accepted language. Till I landed up in a college in Delhi, I never knew that there was a word named ‘gaali’.

After spending almost 2 long years in a co ed college, I was almost convinced that next to feeling of being alive and high on life, gaali was the most ubiquitous phenomenon of that place.

I still remember when during the first few days, one day as I was passing through the corridor casually with few guys bantering down there, I saw them discussing about a girl….. One of the guys rounded up his lips to resemble a football and threw a word beginning with Ch in Hindi… (If any soul reading this feels offended, please forgive me.).

I was equally offended and caught that word in the volley of words in deft fashion and nearly screamed at him and threatened to complain to the professor. Observing the primary pangs of conscience, I was shocked at the language coming out of the mouths of students of one of the centers of learning.

Gradually when I started moving around, I found every other guy even at public places using gaalis everyday. When I actually could capture the meaning of those words, I really felt the torturing pain of my soul obsessed by a strange fanaticism to kill those immoral beings. The pain reduced drastically as I attained understanding why this strange phenomenon actually captured the society.

I used to wonder what has our society come to??? Every other guy eager to be a part of the group of humanoids who would remind us of our ma-behen (mothers and sisters) every single moment in almost all the places and instances which could be thought of like while travelling in bus, metro, at public places, in cinema and are speculating about the anatomies of other people’s ma behen.

Surely the young minds of the nation are constantly on the way to master the art of the wonderful juxtaposition of one or more words that refer to particular parts of the human anatomy dealing with the ejection of bodily fluids, names of close relations usually female, names of certain species of animals and several action verbs.

These are surely the innovative ways of PUNCTURING THE OPPOSITION, PUMPING UP A COMMON SPIRIT AND LETTING LOOSE THE BEAST INSIDE?

I recently even once conducted a small study to corroborate my findings. One of my male friends at work deserves credit for making understand the spirit of gaali and know its true existence and identity in simple terms.

One day I fired a question to him “Why do you guys use such bad words?” Why this gaali spirit enjoy such insurmountable status and lives in the mouth of millions??

He told me that Gaali besides playing an invisible role in their social lives more fun and joyous also brought easiness like when as a new acquaintance when he was trying to gel with the old guys in the office, he found he could gel in easily when gaali was used often during mingling.

Of course counting exceptions is totally unnecessary here as there might be few NOBLE SOULS as society prefers calling them who still don’t use those words and every time, an abuse is hurled at a man or a woman, which most of the times meander around mothers and sisters and centred on private parts, they still wish things would change.

WHAT DO U THINK GUYS???

Gaali as a caustic comeback doesn't really reflect a bad soul .I agree with Dpai who said..for some can be a way to deal with life's frustrations . For some its pure bad influence . Well for some the ticket to prison ..
reseach says,gaalis often releases mental cathersis and contribute to social reconstruction of relationships.Any way good topic for mental churning.

THERE IS GOOD AND BAD ABOUT EVERYTHING !!

LET US USE GAALIS TO THE GOOD PURPOSE OF EXPRESSING ONESELF WITH THEIR CHUMS and "play with galis with such passion and intensity
coupled with such intonation and style that extra words would seem like molasses coming out of the juice " as Sue has said !

...becoze these are best avoided as they just do not in any way increase our self esteem or ego or....anything we may be mistakenly thinking. These are in fact bane of our society & each one of us has a responsibilty to make our society a fairly decent one, where each human being, male or female feel comfortable in all situations. Lets us all salute dear Sumedha, the gem on froppers, for sharing such a soul stirring issue, that, makes our mothers, sisters, daughters & all females uncomfortable

Dear Sumedha, as always, you have touched a subject so common and yet seldom written upon. I have seen varied comments from your friends and I do agree with some while disagreeing with a few. The moot point here is-are these explicitives ugly necessities of our way of expressing various emotions...or are they just a way of life for some? Whatever, the lesson from your post is that at least to begin with each of us on froppers,male or female, pledge to shun these from our expressions.....
