This first post has to be dedicated to someone who has been the source of inspiration for the title. Don't bang your heads trying to decipher what this monkey fighting business is all about. Do it if you want to. The blue bus will always be calling. And the Manekas and the Arundhatis please spare us mere mortals and find someone else to feed your souls upon. The monkey fighting business is nothing of the sort you can get a mileage out of.

Anyways coming back to the topic of (dis)interest. It was a warm summer morning in spiritual town of Rishikesh which to some has always been about rafting, camping, hiking and never about something we perceive it to be. Kind of a moral conflict in which each party insists upon its insistence over the other. The sun was rising, birds were chirping, the dew was still fresh and the audience jumped into Ganga reading the most repetitive, overused and cliched description of the morning ever. What was new though was the monkeys fighting in what best can be described by the Hindi phrase "Brahma Mahurat" (sacred morning). They were fighting proving yet again Darwins hypothesis of evolution. We surely then would be their descendants. We dont need a reason/time to blow heads off or do we? No matter how favorable the conditions are to maintain peace and harmony. As you would have guessed the carnal pleasures of whacking the brains out of each other is something we cherish the most. (don't frown and be disgusted and please wipe that smirk off your face).

By now most of you would have jumped to concluding where does the blog derive its name from. I won't take that happiness resulting from the deep rooted judgmental behavior that has been inculcated as a result of succumbing to social diktats and dogmas.

PS: "Siddhartha do you want to fight a monkey?"
