The phallic (il)logic

There's a school very close to my house. It's a popular school franchise, with branches all over India. This particular branch has a pretty small compound and the building has a Shivalingam on the roof- a HUGE one.

Me and my roomie Hosku(No, that's not her real name) were returning home tonight. When we passed the school, having studied in a school, college and university with HUMONGOUS campuses, I remarked:-

Me: How can you have a school with such a small campus??!

Hosku: How can you have a school with a penis on its roof?

  1. Penis on the roof makes for easy identification(of the school ofcourse) but depends on the size again :D

    Hosku??? Among a gazillion other names. Trust you to come up with random names and you come up with the trumps every single time. Cannot forget SRINGO :D

  6. Ha, ha :) Actually, I have heard that the Shivalingam is a representation of the male and female creative energies (linga and yoni). Shiva and Parvati. The unavoidable equality. So your friend was partially right.

  7. @PeeVee: Nothing! What CAN I say?! :D But I'm still laughing.

    @AS: Ah, so you recognized the school. :)
    Heh. Only I have the license to call her that. :P And I still think Sringo suits you well. ;)

    @Kanthu: Oyi! Watch what you say about my best friend. It was just a joke. No need to get so hyper over it.

    @confusedsoul: You do know what a shivalingam symbolizes, right?

    @Anuranjini: :P

    @Roro: Aha! Of all my posts, you chose to comment only on this one?!!:|

    @kalpak: If Shiva is really like the one on the cover of 'The immortals of Meluha", then I wouldn't mind dancing along with him.

    @Keirthana: Yup, that's what the Shivalingam symbolizes. And that's why she said that. :)

  8. For me, both are very disturbing. How do we expect to bring up "citizens of tomorrow" without giving them all around development!! :\

  14. @Moonlight: :P

    @Srinidhi: I cannot imagine my kids studying in a school with no compound. Simply unacceptable. Children need to run around a play!

    @Rahul: Ah, yes. She has quite many gems like this. :)

    @Bhargavi: The phallus and the base actually symbolize the perfect harmony of man and woman. If you've noticed, the base of the shivalingam has a sort of gap at one place. That is said to symbolize the vagina.

    @Paanipuri Lover: Oh I'm a smiley-slut too. :P

    @Superrrnickkk: Hosku is short for something actually, which is part of her name. :)

    @Deepthi: :P
