Today I learned how to shift goalposts in a game of tennis played in a cricket stadium. While defending a Muslim ex-atheist - or an ex-Muslim atheist? - I fought with Hindu trolls. I know they could do nothing to me, let alone to the ex-Muslim guy.

Hindus are the worst arguers.

Today I trolled a few more Hindu idiots with less than 50 followers and who could not pick up a trishul to fight for Hinduism. They hide their cowardice with specious arguments. The martial Hindu just does not exist, in history, or now.

Hindus are the biggest hurdle to Hinduism.

Today when I read the sad news in The Print I was appalled at how violence is ingrained in Hindutva groups. Does Bajrang Dal or VHP represent the millions of peaceful Hindus who hold on to their beliefs despite militant Hindutva?

If only Hindus can introspect on their violence.

Today, I got RTed by a Christian ex-atheist - or an ex-Christian atheist? - from the US. It was an endorsement of my stance on FoE about commenting on the Mother Goddess. Hindu prudes with strange names in strange scripts descended upon me.

How can they abuse someone's mother?

Today, I sipped green tea with my ex-Hindu atheist friend. I am quite impressed with him - he must have studied Toordal Rymple deeply to have such knowledge of Hinduism that even Hindu saints do not have.

If only all Hindus were atheists, Hinduism would be a tolerable religion.

Today I met Gurushri for the first time. What command he has on Hinduism, and on current affairs, and he explains them in the best English I have heard. I felt privileged to be at his lush and green ashram.

I will cherish my selfie with him. I will tweet it during his birthday.

Today I walked away from some Swami Whateverananda who seemed a charlatan. He spoke in broken English, that too with a Gujarati accent, and smelt of sandalwood. Worse, he had not heard of Sartre or Popper. Ugh!

Such Swamis are a bane to Hinduism and offer nothing constructive.

Today, my Muslim ex-atheist friend - or an ex-Muslim atheist? - invited me for dinner. I gifted him a bottle of fine wine, which he refused. I respect his preferences.

The dinner was sumptuous, and he insisted that it only looked like beef.

I am still a Hindu. I celebrate Pujo.

Today we all met, the Gang of Hinduism's Outstanding RW Intellectuals. We remembered the glory days of Bengal - it's still way better than others. We discussed casteism, brahminism, pollution, patriarchy, superstition...

Touch wood, we will one day rid Hinduism of evils. Amen!

Today I met my Kerala friend who used peer-reviewed papers to prove that Onam is a harvest festival and has nothing to do with Hinduism. Is Pujo a harvest festival? I am sure something can be harvested.

Hindus should accept that Hindu festivals have nothing to do with Hinduism.

Today I felt proud at mastering the art of shifting goalposts. I turned around my stance on a free speech atheist to the insular mindset of Hindu bores.

I felt like Renuka Shahane, the whole of Bollywood rather, that shifted the goalpost from drugs to spirits. Of Mumbai, I mean.

Today, I tweeted about the coolest Hanuman I have seen, by far. The philistine Hindus trolled me. I felt pity for their utter lack of appreciation of Saracenic architecture or Persian calligraphy. Hinduism has nothing to offer at all.

We need artistic Hanumans, not angry ones.

Today I felt glad that Saif is playing Ravana, the most misunderstood villain of mythological times. In his initial days with the now-jingoistic Akshay, he has suffered police brutality, and so he knows what it is to be a misunderstood minority like Ravana.

Prabhas is miscast.

Today in the middle of my deep meditation practice which I learned from a seasoned guru, I realized that I identify myself with the Left than to the Right. I could be the sane voice there just as I am the sane voice here.

I am sure that only the L̷e̷f̷t̷ sane can save Hinduism.

Today is the day I have been waiting for. My book, Saving Hinduism from Hindutva, is finally launched by Ostrich. The reviews are great, and keeping my fingers crossed for one by Shekhar Gupta himself.

If only Hindus were more like me, they could be h̷a̷r̷v̷e̷s̷t̷e̷d̷ saved. //
