Copied from my friend/Anna Kiran Chakravarthula's post on FB
Boycotting is all we do when we cannot do anything "real" or anything useful! Why? Oh, because that's easy! We do not anyway know why we celebrate Republic Day and so we boycott it. Huh! It's like saying, "I support Anna Hazare" and downloading pirated films/eBooks/movies/songs or jumping a red traffic signal or riding in triples on a motorcycle. Let's at least realize who we're fighting with or what we're fighting against! It's we who's fighting against US!!
నీ పయనం ఎక్కడికో నీకు తెలియాలిగా..
ఏ సమరం ఎవ్వరితో తేల్చుకో ముందుగా!
Boycott the Valentine's Day instead, in solidarity for the thousands of nameless victims suffering/dying each day! Or, boycott some other day you celebrate. Your birthday, for example, or your marriage anniversary? More importantly, boycott the slacking attitude towards understanding how the System works or how we can make the System work like it should! Thankfully, the System was not developed to garner some "likes" and "shares"!
