I realised the RW is so plagued with their inborn inferiority complex that any strongman appeals to their intellect (or rather, their baser instinct, for intellect can hardly be seen as present in any of them), starved as it is of a ‘daddy’ they seem to badly need to fulfil their fantasies of sadism (which is actually masochism masquerading as its opposite, as is the case with those suffering from inferiority complexes like ‘small penis syndrome’).
A case in point is the collective orgasming over Russia’s Ukraine invasion. Why are they so ecstatic over it? I mean, why is Rakesh, who works at the Sewage Treatment Department at the Jhumritilaiya Nagar Parishad, so bloody smug about Putin’s takeover of Eastern Ukraine? Does he even know where it is? What is at stake? How it will affect the balance of power? What will India’s role be in it? And how Jhumritilaiya Nagar Parishad’s sewage treatment would either benefit or suffer? What exactly is the root of his हर्षोल्लास? He isn’t even a communist or conscious about American imperialism or in fact, aware even of the full form of NATO or the capital of Ukraine, leave alone knowledgeable about the history or geopolitics of the region. What makes him so thrilled at this development, other than simply looking up to a strongman, any strongman? I mean, ‘बेगानी शादी में…’
Answer this and you’ll get an answer to the Modiphilia we saw around for the past half a dozen years, which (as Modi slowly turned out to be a dud firework, turned into a yearning for someone stronger, more extreme) has transformed into a fantasy to see him being replaced by Yogi, with all the hyper-patriotism and religious nationalism that has become rampant in these parts of the world.
But honestly, as for the reason why this is so, I am nonplussed. Truly.
![Mr Baba: 'Would you like to take off the backpack now that you've been downstairs for like 30 minutes?'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'I like it like this. You should try it. It's very comfortable.'
Mr Baba: [Pulling on his backpack] 'Hmmm, you're right. That's rather snug.'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'Twinning! Yay!'

![Kym: 'Mr Baba, can I tell you something wierd? You can actually get tired from doing nothing!!'
Me: 'It is called boredom.'
Kym: 'Noooo. I mean, like physically tired.'
Me: 'One can get tired and sleepy due to boredom. I remember reading about it somewhere. Let's find out.'
[Some Googling later]
Me: 'It says here that "A new paper published in the journal Nature Communications finds that a part of the brain that is associated with motivation and pleasure - the nucleus accumbens - also can produce sleep. The new findings may explain why we have the tendency to fall asleep in the absence of motivating stimuli, i.e., when bored." Isnt it interesting?'
Kym: 'I already knew that. Why do you need to research things we already know?'
Me: [Finding a subject worth talking about now]: ' Ah well, that's what we'll talk of tomorrow on your morning run. It's very interesting the way science is done and our understanding of the universe is expanded.'
Kym: 'Can we talk of unicorns instead?'
Me: 'Sure. How do you know they exist? That's an interesting question too that you can use the scientific method to answer.'
Kym: 'Do they have to exist for us to talk about them? We can just pretend they do for an hour and have fun.'
Me: [Laughing] 'Yes, sure. We can do that too.'
