तुम्ही १८वर्ष किंवा मोठे असाल तर गणपती म्हणा, बाप्पा नको ... Overgrown Children Hell-bent on Enshrining their Own Arrested Development

Holly Brubach: “Bogart’s appeal was and remains completely adult — so adult that it’s hard to believe he was ever young. If men who take responsibility are hard to come by in films these days, it’s because they’re hard to come by, period, in an era when being a kid for life is the ultimate achievement, and “adult” as it pertains to film is just a euphemism for pornography.”

Christopher Luna: “Subway Art is a beautiful and important cultural document of a generation of artists who embodied the spirit of the city before it was Disneyfied.”
Isabel Berwick:”...”Infantilization aims at inducing puerility in adults and preserving what is childish in children trying to grow up, even as children are ’empowered’ to consume.” What we are losing is our maturity. Benjamin Barber highlights some of the ways this changes us. By preferring easy over hard, fast over slow, and simple over complex, we are turning our backs on the fluency and thoughtfulness of the fully formed adult citizen, who can take informed decisions rather than be dictated to by marketing.”

काल मी फेसबुक वॉल वर हे लिहल :
"the most ridiculous thing in this age is the greetings received from robots of banks, mutual funds etc. on festivals, birthdays, anniversaries etc....
I delete them without even opening them....one day their 'stupid' robot will inform them that he does not even open your emails
the second most ridiculous thing is adults referring to Ganpati not as Ganpati but Bappa (बाप्पा)...."

'बाप्पा' हा शब्द लहान मुलांचा आहे , त्यांना तो exclusively वापरू द्या. त्यांच्या तोंडात तो शोभतो, आपल्याला ऐकल्यावर आनंद देतो.

आज हॅरी ब्लीस यांचे खालील कार्टून दिसले....त्याची कॅप्शन बदलली....



मूळचे कॅप्शन : "If I hear the word ‘mindfulness’ one more time, I swear I'm gonna lose it."
