Just now I read one blog by name 'Jokes And Humour On Line' and in one posting the writer has just said everything possible about his shortish philippinian sister-in-law.He hates his brother's wife and all conversation recorded shows his utter hatred.
I agree that prejudices are there in every relationship.The subtle prejudices on color, race and language and food habits and even body smells are all there.But should they be spit out in the open ina blog when it is being open for everyone's view.Mind you it was not closed to others.Every one could read it,and even a philppinian has commented on it.Some might say that it is hideous and incorrect to have prejudices that are there but unexpressed.It is they say hipocrisy.
At this time I remember my own prejudice regarding the color black.I used to think of my color prejudice when I proposals for marriage was coming.My father used to reject all the persons with the color a little less saying you will have children with that color and later on problems for their marriage.In my life I did come across a good friend who was both black and short too.Highly intelligent she and me shared many views including our views on prejudices .When I look back I feel unless you interact with person you will not know them.For that person who wrote about his sis-in-law too the same could be said.Suppose he finds that with all her defects she did support his old parents during their old age and sisters-in-laws during their difficult times he will not notice a short statured woman but see a loving person.Iam sorry he saw only the person superficially.

- Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.
