Anonymous, thank you. And I don't know if I should welcome you here (as per the tradition extended to first-time visitors), but as long as you find posts on being evil as wonderful, you're always welcome :)

BTW, you might want to leave a name next time -- I promise I wouldn't bite. :D

Sky, no, evil's purpose isn't sickness, but to eliminate what it perceives as sickness. It does not take pleasure in gradually fading it off: it takes pleasure in swiping it off at one go. For that, you need to mean it -- Ravana was evil, Duryodhana was evil. If you must be evil, be like them; but I agree... sometimes you need to be sick to do your duty of the evil.

Anonymous, which again is sky -- don't you think you posted this on the wrong post? Perhaps you meant the top-10 post? Challenge accepted, BTW :D

Arunava, read my comment above. And thanks for defending what you believed in. I don't think sky meant anything in the last comment -- she was merely trying to pick a fight as per advice #3 of the next post. :)

Sick? Purpose? Being evil must have a purpose? Weren't you the one telling us that one must mean a curse to curse? That we cannot curse to take revenge? And now you're telling me being evil must have a purpose? What purpose? To wound maim kill and destroy? Isn't that sick? Where do you draw the line?

Sky, thank you, but I hardly think "wonderful" would be the word to describe the example given. It was meant to drive in that you can't just be evil as and when you want to. What Sudipta has written in this post, is, I think more a tribute to the Theory of Conservation of Virtue and Vice, than a how-to guide to be a stone.

And no, I don't think Sudipta is spewing hatred through the blog medium. His blog, more often than not, carries hilarious stories of pranks and mischief, touching articles about various aspects of life put in a lucid expression of free-flowing words. I have very often drawn inspiration from many of his posts. So no, I don't think Sudipta is a black mark to the word BHARTI.

and Sudipto you are spewing hatred through the blog medium. It is an offence.

Who Made you in charge of blog bharti, you are a black mark to the very word BHARATI.

I challenge you to publish this comment and to a debate on this issue.

2008-06-11T00:17:00.000-05:00

And what purpose is it that evil has? Isn't evils very purpose rooted in a sickness?

Arunava, wonderful example, I think I cringed while reading it - perfectly done!

Anonymous, sometimes it is good to be in the shoes of the devil. That way, all the followers of God fear you.

Arunava, there is a line between being sick and being evil. Evil has to have a purpose, sick does not.

2008-06-08T04:00:00.000-05:00

Can you drop a drop of molten candle wax on an earthworm, watch it writhe in pain, unable to coil up into the spiral, unable to move, only writhe in pain? Can you drop another drop, on its tail portion, and watch it convulse again? Then can you, with a blade, cut off its lower half, making sure it is still alive and can feel the pain? Then can you drop another drop of wax on the earthworm, now on its head, watch it throw itself about for some time, and walk up away, satisfied? A harmless earthworm, I'm talking of, which has done no wrong except happen to be spotted by you in passing? It hasn't climbed up your leg, it hasn't sat on your table. You spot it, you light a candle, and then drip, drip, drip... Can you do that to a man? To a woman? To a child?

There is still hope for the world, one doesn't have to get so devilish.

Phoenix, yeah, sometimes being the stone keeps you alive.

Galadriel, yeah, but at the same time, it is also very inspiring, isn't it? Ravana, some say, was Rama's best worshipper.

Sky, no how-to-be-good series... you have a live example of me in person! :)

Manpreet, naah this isn't a how-to. I'd rather post a creepier how-to one of these days ;)

Pinku, yeah... more instructions available on demand. :)

Anu, welcome onboard! There is a justification -- survival!

Vinay, thank you :) Being evil has its benefits, I suppose.

2008-06-05T01:27:00.000-05:00

Fantabulous!! I don't take your words literally.I interpreted it in some other way.

This plastic world is more concerned about the results.

In the end who wins is the man.

No matter what.Wining at anycost is the mantra.

The flow, thoughts mapping is Superb.Luv it.

still trying to digest all that sage advice.

what became of that?

Is this in response to that? Hey Bhagwaan !!!

2008-06-03T17:15:00.000-05:00

Being evil for dummies? Do we get a how-to-be-good series next? Naah? Maybe good is too boring, plus the world is too full of evil anyways, its easier!

2008-06-03T13:17:00.000-05:00

it is much better to feign asking for forgiveness from others than to beg for permission from yourself
drove the nail right home with that. there was this movie called The Good Son starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. there's a line in the movie in which he says 'you just have to believe you can do anything' or something to that effect. that line is what scares me the most about being evil. the minute you start believing you can do anything, without being answerable to anyone, you've crossed halfway over from being good to being evil.

2008-06-03T09:18:00.000-05:00

That's the How-to guide to be a stone, to be mean and to be passionately whole heart(less)(ed)ly evil, right. good one too, except at the end of it all it leaves u feeling too empty..
