Satire By Naseeb Kaur

Naseeb Kaur – I
I know what it's like to make people happy. Admittedly I didn't mean to walk head-first into a glass door like that Pakistani Engineer in his college video, or trip down a 100ft bore well like nation’s beloved pranky Prince of Kurukshetra, but beggars can't exactly be choosers, and so I make fun of people around me and sometimes of myself to make people laugh. To see smile on all those faces, well, for a brief moment of time is worth living. This is the same reason why I write satire, mainly on my previous and current room-mates, all of whom have had an ego of the size of a sick antelope, and don’t actually mind being made fun of. So, as a routine, I would like to congratulate one who is going to get trolled in this article.

But still, maintaining a passim, clearly remember that today is not just another day. Today I am talking about Naseeb Kaur and not how much I hate V. Persie for leaving Arsenal for ManUre for the sake of more money. That filthy little bastard forgot how we had been spoon feeding him for the past 6 years, right after he was brought to AFC, during which he had been nothing but an injured liability, just waiting for the time when he would stand on his feet and make us proud. That fucker needs a thrashing. Hope he gets injured again and spends all his upcoming footballing years on the side-lines. Not diverting from the topic, let’s talk about another characteristic of Nasseb Kaur. Naseeb Kaur likes to read a lot, mostly intelligent books like 50 shades of Grey, The Immortals of Meluha, etc. But like my ex room-mate who, in pursuit of cultivating an erudite air with a selection of clever books by his bedside, used to keep John Grisham: A time to kill, Urinal Incontinence: A Self Help Guide, but which didn’t make him (any more of) a bed-wetting serial killer, the above mentioned books (2 to be exact) on Naseeb’s bedside doesn’t make her a good reader or writer, which she thinks she is. She, however, writes good poems. One which I read a lot while ago could be included in the books of sonnets for kids, but she thought it was as good as …show more content…
If around 3 o’clock someone asks her the time, she would first tell the time at which she got up in the morning, then the time she left for office, then going back to pointing out the time she had a bath and ironed her clothes, then the time of reaching the office, then the time she won her first table tennis match, then the time of lunch, then what she ate in lunch (obviously lunch was ordered from Mamagato’s), then the walk downstairs after cola, then the number of guys who flirted with her, and finally around 3:30, she would tell that her time piece had stopped working but looking at the number of papers she had cleared the whole day, she would say that it’s 3-ish O’clock in the noon. This is a very beautiful habit of Miss. Naseeb Kaur. She likes to make a story before telling the real thing. She thinks her audience has a seriously low

    Stemming from a progressive household, Hari Kondabolu’s humor is a reflection of how he was raised. Kondabolu is a comedian who uses his voice to discuss social issues regarding race, sexuality, identity, and civil rights.

    Satire is an important element in writing. It’s a way for writers to take a step back and comment on something; to show how ridiculous it is without just flat out saying it. Satire is usually used as a fun way of pointing out the faults in society and current events. The Other Paris by Mavis Gallant was written in 1956, barely a decade after World War 2 finished, the world was rebuilding and marriage was seen as a safe option, a way to move forward and start a life together. The main character of The Other Paris, Carol thinks of marriage as a security blanket rather than a lifelong commitment to the one you love, she accepts a proposal from a man named Howard, a man she hadn’t even known for three weeks…simply because she assumes that nobody…

    Brave New World is a cautionary satire that illustrates the dangers of an over-controlled society by dictators who attempt to create a “utopia” created on the foundation of “Community, Identity, and Stability”. In order to achieve a “utopia”, World State deprives arts, religion, and relationships from their citizens. Huxley’s novel shows the negative effects of ignoring one of Golda Meir’s beliefs that “One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.” Meir uses denotative diction to suggest that the past is not an evil and is actually a necessity, even if it is different from the present. Today history books in classrooms are censoring major events in history, such as slavery, because it no longer…
