KEENAN AND REUBEN KILLED FOR PROTESTING AGAINST EVE TEASING- CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

My wife just told me not to blog about Keenan and Reuben case -- she knows I am a bit blunt while telling the truth -- but then I YAM WHAT I YAM. 

I cant make a shovel out of a spade.

The whole of India knows about this case, where two boys were stabbed to death at 11 PM on a fairly busy street at Mumbai.

So this news clip below is only for my foreign readers, who form 85% of my reader base.

QUOTE:--
Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday assured action against the killers of murdered youths Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandez for protesting against eve-teasing of their friends.

Assuring justice to the the family of Keenan and Reuben, Chavan said state will press for death penalty for the killers. "I deplore this act and condolences go out to the families," he said.

Talking to Keenan's family on a news channel, the CM assured of coming up with an eve-teasing law.

Meanwhile, Keenan's father thanked CM Chavan for reaching out the grieved families and urged him to graft a tough law against eve-teasing.

On Thursday, the Andheri metropolitan magistrate's court extended the police custody of the four accused by a day.

On October 20, Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandes, along with five others, including three girls, had gone to the bar to have dinner and watch a cricket match on a giant screen put up there.

Keenan and Ruben were stabbed while resisting eve-teasing. 24-year-old Keenan died the same day in hospital and 28-yr-old Reuben died on Monday.

The law has caught 21 young men in this case.  Out of which 4 are being touted for hanging.  There is tremendous pressure on the Indian Government to FAST TRACK this case-- and to bypass usual inquiry procedures to set an example.

I CONDEMN THIS MURDER.   

MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHIES TO THE BEREAVED FAMILY.   YOU CANT TAKE AN INNOCENT LIFE IN THIS MANNER .


To be frank to kill a man I don't need a knife, being trained in the Kalari martial arts system. A single blow given in blind rage will be 100% lethal-- and I usually walk away from situations where fools dare me to do my worst.

I am reminded of an similar incident which happened in my life at the age of 27 - today I am 55.  I was a Ship Captain , NOT yet married . 

Being a Captain means that I don't need any lecture on social responsibility . This happened in a cinema theatre next to Mumbai Gateway of India ( guess it is Regal ) for the 7 PM show. 

I was alone .

The Dress Circle section where I sat was chock a block , as the movie was a hit. In those days they would play some documentaries before the main movie started.

In front of me 6 seats were empty. Pretty soon 3 girls and 3 boys ( around 18 to 20 years old ) trooped in,  and sat in front of me.

From their dress code and their English speaking accent I knew they were the typical Bandra party--short frocks , bob hair cuts, signature French beards , cross chains, and Bandra slang. One of them had long dreadlocks like what our man Rueben Fernandes, used to sport before.

Suddenly a Mahatma Gandhi black and white documentary started.

Now Gandhiji is a soul who commands extreme respect in India.

In my previous blog about VAIKOM MUHAMMAD BASHEER I has mentioned that as a boy Basheer just touched Gandhiji's hand and became a revolutionary.

Gandhiji was hence my hero - like for 99% of Indians. The balance 1% who would respect someone in Italy or Saudi Arabia or Portugal more. 

Such people will sell our country's secrets for a few pieces of silver.

The Gandhiji documentary was grainy and with poor audio -- some old footage which I had never seen.  I was missing out on 20% of the proceedings as the " Bandra party " were in high spirits of extreme camaraderie. Why not, when I go with 5 of my friends , after a couple of beers,  I would also be in the same groove.

Today if you see something on your computer or DVD you can pause and rewind. I did not want to miss out a word of this documentary- so I most respectfully submitted to the girl right in front that they should be a bit quiet till the Gandhiji documentary is over-- just a matter of another 5 minutes.

She looked back, and saw a clean shaven chikoo sweet guy,  I was NOT a drunk unemployed evil looking smelly rowdie, "who stole water and electricity and did NOT pay taxes" .   I did NOT eve tease her , or even cast a lecherous eye.


And you know what this CHUTNEY MARY screams " SAD GUY, HE WANTS TO SEE GANDHI !" .

What else she said -- I wont mention here.  Cruel words are like nails, once driven, you can take them out--but the gaping holes remain for ever.

All the six of them burst into LOUD derisive laughter as if on cue.

May be they preferred to see the Pope, or a Portuguese soccer player or Elvis -- but I wanted to see the Father of our Nation , Gandhiji.

I could see that almost everybody around was now waiting for my reaction.

So I put both my feet on the shoulders of this mangy girl. My inner boots touching both her ears.

Immediately their boy dates got up and objected , a bit violently and loudly. For they wanted to be THE heroes for their gals.

In their Catholic system a boy and a girl has to find their own partners--like in the West. Their parents will NOT find a suitable bride/ groom for them.  ( the rest of India have arranged marriages ) .

And these young boys tend to take the chivalrous part a bit too far , on a date -- to earn falthu respect.

They leaned over , threatened me , and told me to take my legs off this "Gandhiji scoffing" girl's shoulders.

So I dared them to take my legs off themselves -- or even throw a punch.  If I was a weakling they would have slapped me around--  but here I was, any day tougher than Salman Khan.


Not a single onlooker came to the girl's rescue.

After a few pregnant moments I took my legs off her shoulders and said " One more word from you , ridiculing Gandhiji -- and I will put my legs right back .  Let us have some co-operation!"

That was it-- the remaining two hours went without incident.

Today when I look back , I did the wrong thing.  I will NOT do the same thing today.

To a person who did not know what transpired , yes I was an evil eve teaser!.  How dare he keep his shoes on a young girl's face.

To my level headed wife ( I told her this story during our honeymoon ) , Madame Chutney Mary deserved it.

I  know 100% what would have happened if the three guys had thrown a punch. Definitely I would exploded and pasted all the three of them in 30 seconds, probably busting their collar bones and sternums--

And may be I would have been in jail -- still a bachelor, without a job, without friends --

--- a loser in life !

Digression:   One of my good Goan Roman Catholic Chief Officers' had told me long time ago -- Australia had opened out a free immigration office at Bandra Mumbai for one single day , and the queue was miles long. He said almost all his friends and even his own relatives were standing in this queue.   So much for patriotism and loving your own country.   He said " I felt like loading all of them on a ship and throwing them overboard off the coast of Australia , so that they could swim ashore like rats. There were some hardcore shameless young lesbians too in this line -- probably eager to come out of the closet and have fun in AUSTRAYYLYAAR"

This reminds me of a joke--and that needs me to digress and go off tangent for a while.

QUESTION: Why did two sisters fight in Australia?
ANSWER:  Coz they were both DAAYTING the same guy!!



I wonder if anybody is entitled to extreme reactions , on the cause of patriotism.

Being a ship captain, I am also a cultural ambassador of India. This is NOT part of my job description, but then this is what we were trained to be on our training ship which had 250 cadets.

I am reminded of an incident 28 years ago. My ship was going to Felixstowe ( near London ) -- a busy private container port.

The pilot points to the gantry crane operator and tells me " Captain, do you know that that crane driver earns more than the President of your country?"

Needless harsh words.


These crane drivers get speed money for the number of containers they load in an hour. So on the days there is a EPL soccer match, they work like crazy, banging containers here and there and earn good money.

So the English Pilot was definitely right. He spoke the truth. But then our president has a garden ( Mogul gardens ). There are 800 gardeners, 50 of them to shoo away errant birds. I decided it was NOT worth , to be objective with this mangy Pilot.

So I replied " So fuckin' what?  I know a WHORE in Mumbai who earns more money than what your British Prime Minister at Downing street 10 ( this door opens out into the street --TEE HEE ) earns in one whole year - in one single hour!"

The Pilot sulked till he left my ship.

Note: On my ship, I am fair.  I see who provoked first, AND TO WHAT EXTENT?.

Who got physical first.

Who drew first blood

Who was at the receiving end of the fight is secondary- as the tougher man wins, everytime. 

However murder is murder-- you just cant take a God given life --unless you are in the army!

Now on the other hand--

Keenan was an out of work, cook --you can call a cook a "chef" and white wash him. Or you can call the accused  barber, a "hair dresser"-- for the matter.

Reuben at the ripe age of 29 was unemployed and his pictures showing him in dreadlocks ( in India of all the places ) is now withdrawn from all TV shows . 

The media has repeatedly painted all over that some of the assailants were unemployed--which is such a shame shame crime in India, right?.

Why do selective reporting? If a couple of assailants were unemployed-- what about the assailed?

As per Keenan's girlfriend Priyanka ( 19 ) it was Avinash Solanki who got physical first-- he slapped Rana the eve teaser.  If at all somebody deserves a bravery award-- it must be this man. Not the others in the gang who kept their skins safe.

If I am getting attacked with a knife in a lonely street - I know that my wife is NOT gonna watch quietly-- she will kick ass and she will kick them good-- she wont mind getting stabbed !

You must ponder-- are all these fair weather friends ?

Keenan and Reuben and gang used to be at Amroli bar " as a ritual " every alternate day, (all this is on video clips of a National Network TV all over the internet ) -- as per Priyanka, who may be a bit naive and got carried away by emotion into giving such damning information.

How many parents will allow their grown up daughters to be in a bar at unearthly hours -- we will NOT be fooled into believing there was a cricket match every alternate day? 

I have two sons --no daughters. If my imaginary daughter goes to Amroli bar every alternate day -- then what type of father am I?  What type of upbringing is goin' on ?

Sorry-- I dont agree with Alyque Padamsee who said on national TV that Keenan's father Valerian must be given a National Bravery Award-- for telling on TV that " My heart is glad and I am willing to sacrifice many more sons to curb eve-teasing". 

Since when have we started giving bravery awards for talking big on TV ?--shall we start off with our army and police?



Above is the picture used all over - to show how much this duo loved life. Yeah--one with pig sausages and other with beer.  Well this is NO yellow hate speech -- just tellin' a fact. We live in India --NOT Brazil or Portugal.

Now let me digress-

Really men are such pigs-- such lechs -- they all need to be castrated , right?


No prizes for spotting this glorious ass below -- it belongs to a world champion-- hint MH.


Girls who wear tights like this in India, know when to raise their hands to adjust their hair, and show off their camel toe ( reserved for handsome guys only )-- or let the pallu of the low waist saree fall.



                           
On second thoughts, it is better to BOBITT all of the lecherous men on this planet who prey on innocent, angelic babes in the woods, right?

There must be a law where a woman wearing falsies, and full of silicon , can name and shame a decent man as eve teaser and get him hanged, --probably a tougher law that the Indian dowry harrasment laws , where a man can be arrested on the basis of just a complaint from a Big Boss 5 , Pooja Mishra prototype..

And of course , all bride burnings in India with Kerosene dousing, was done by cruel, father-in-laws, NOT sweet sati savirti Bharatiya Nari mother-in-laws, right?

All female infanticides in India , were done by men , right?

All adultry on this planet is fault of men alone , right?

Ever noticed that women who complain most about sexual harrassment on TV , are all revoltingly UGLY?

If a girl pumped up with silicon ( or a padded bra - aaaha--ring a bell? ) wears a plunging neckline and pretends to talk on mobile phone outside the gates of a men's hostel, using her perepheral vision, is so cute -- then a boy with a decoy banana or a cock sock inside his jeans standing outside a women's hostel , is a SICK pervert who must be castrated el pronto , right? Why double standards?

Our role models must be ugly Mayawati types, who declared a honest DIG of Police mad , dragged him away in full uniform in front of national TV cameras , and put him in a asylum --right?

-- or our sulking Bong Express , the bottomless enigma, (who will look good in a T shirt stating NEXT MOOD SWING IN FIVE MINUTES)  -- who storms into a police station and gets her goons released, insulting the nation's constitution.

Like ANGELIC Pooja Mishra of Big Boss 5 would scream -- SPARE ME! Pity the fall guy who marries her!

Punch into Google search SAILORS DO CRY- VADAKAYIL

It is the true story of my handsome colleague, who slit his wrists 3 times , unable to handle the diabolical games of his wife. 

After 2 years of marriage , she left him for a film producer who promised to make her a Bollywood actress, and she was indeed beautiful. 

She forced him to sign the divorce papers , as soon as he landed up in his house after a hard contract on a ship.  The previous 2 contracts she sailed with him on the ship.  He was removing his shoes , after touching his mother's feet , when she thrust the divorce papers before him- -and commanded him " Sign here!" . 

When he tried to reason with her , as they dated for 6 years before marriage, she threatened to throw his mother in jail for dowry harrassment and attempted bride burning.  She had it all worked out, with the rich film producer's connivance.  

Later , after 14 months , she came back grovelling, and asked him to remarry her -- the producer just USED her from all 3 orifices for a year -- if you know what I mean.. 

My friend had just recovered from depression . He showed her the three scars on his wrist and asked her " What would you do , if you were in my place".   

Men don't go on TV and tell such sob stories. 

Or maybe "mental whip lashes" are less painful than "bottom FUCKIN' pinching" !!

Why is it that all hate shrew mother-in-laws?   Father -in-laws are loved and respected all over the world for his large heartedness and understanding !! pray?



Let me end with a joke:--

A man in a train looked up at the top berth on the opposite side , on which a gorgeous woman had just climbed up to sleep.

She first removes her wig, and he noticed that she is nearly bald.

Then she removes her false eye lashes.

Next she removes her false breasts.


Then she removes all her make up, using a cleanser.  She does NOT look gorgeous any more.

And then to his utter shock, she unscrews her false leg and stows it in her bag.

The woman saw him looking, got wild and hissed viciously " What the fuck do you want?"

The man says" You know what I want. Unscrew it and throw it down !"
