My wife and I watched #HasanMinhaj in Peoria. His opening acts were #AzharUsman and #Ahmad somebody. The audience exploded in laughter.

Seditious Comedy

    I’m writing this after just having watched a three-year-old video of Indian-American comedian Hasan Minhaj totally ripping apart a then-nascent Trump administration at the 2017 White House correspondents' dinner. And boy was he brutal! Holy cow! That roast was so hot... sooo burning hot, that my laptop got all warmed up. No seriously, my LT is literally scalding right now although to be fair it’s probably because of all the YouTube rabbit-holes I’ve been drowning in since the second I woke up today.

    To all my homies who aren’t familiar with the white house correspondents' dinner, it is like one of those award show parties except that the awards are replaced by scholarships for journalism students and is attended by the who's who of the political and media landscape in Washington DC. 

    It was first held in 1921 and has since become a ritual of sorts, hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) every year in DC. It is usually also attended by the POTUS, FLOTUS and the Vice-President. And the fact that the arc-nemeses, the government and the media, all assemble under one roof for a gala dinner is not even the most remarkable part about it. The cynosure of the entire event is the gig that a popular comedian (in this case Hasan Minhaj) gets to present there every year, it is usually in the form of a roast of the administration and the President where the comedian goes all out lashing them with scathing and witty one-liners... all while standing right across the head of the government looking at her/him straight 👏🏿 in 👏🏿 the 👏🏿 eye 👏🏿. And you know what? The comedian does not face borderline rape/ death threats or even airline bans for doing that. If truth be told there have indeed been instances when the President (Barak Obama is a perfect case in point) himself has joined in on the banter! I mean how absofuckinglutely ludicrous is that?! In India, anything even half-a-kilometre close to that would be considered blasphemy; which, in all fairness, does make sense considering that the head of the state here, according to holy scriptures drafted at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg, is supposed to be the divine reincarnation of the almighty herself. Our Prime Ministers are always (with the exception of Nehru) absolutely impeccable, sacred and with not a single one of those unwanted funny bones in her/him.

    It's no secret that we Indians love to take pride in ourselves and our leaders and our culture and our heritage and anybody/ thing that is even remotely related to the 'Watan' (No? Oh, shut up! Why else would you think that the likes of Kamala Harris, Rishi Sunak and Sundar Pichai have magically become every second person's long lost relative here?!). And frankly, there's nothing wrong in celebrating ourselves and those whom we admire as long as it remains just that and doesn't morph into megalomania. Buuuuut there's some modicum of truth in the stereotype that Indian's get offended very easily. 

    I've met like a bazillion people in my (not so long) life who've told me a gazillion times that I am really lucky to have been born during the 'golden age' of India where I can openly express myself and voice my opinions unhesitatingly and that I should piously revere this gift that has been 'bequeathed' to us. 

    And is say that those claims are bogus, bunkum and straight-up B.S except, I don't say that out loud lest I should be charged with sedition. I think we've just set the bar veritably low for ourselves and ours. This is a precise example of the middle-class mindset that plagues most of us in this country, including yours truly. We are just too smugly satisfied to stretch ourselves any further moreover if anything does go wrong, we can always compare ourselves to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and feel good about our situation, right?? WRONG! Being a country with a human resource that is second only to China we should certainly not be comparing ourselves to Pakistan for any reason. We live in a nation that has witnessed splendorous zeniths in the past and we've basked in its glory for far too long. It's high time we get our shit together and make conscious efforts to try and live up to the reputation of our past. 

    Our country will really and truly become a free nation in all sense of the term and we will have all the rights to unabashedly brag about it that day when we can say that a son of immigrant parents can stand in front of the Prime Minister and poke fun at the government and he won't be lynched for it.

Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head (2023) – Review and Summary https://tinyurl.com/yv264cnj

[eyesthroughcorona]

Another Perspective In the Midst of Black Lives Matter.

One thing is shocking to me. Even with all the protests going on across the United States, there hasn’t been a drastic or a significant increase in the confirmed cases of the coronavirus. This is somewhat of a good indicator about the situation of the virus in the United States. 

Anyways, I found this recently uploaded video by Patriot Act on YouTube. The host is Hasan Minhaj, and he presents that (I believe) is necessary, the Asian perspective. And by the “Asian”, I mean the Asian, South Asian, South-East Asian perspectives. 

It’s an interesting and illuminating watch!
