COMEDY OF ERRORS: Sex and Salvation

Two living legends, at prime ages, leading invisible empires, millions of followers, two ultimate goals: Sex and Salvation.


I don’t know if I will be spared for this crime; my audacity to write about these two personalities on a single spread. The underlying comedy amuses me. It hit me sometime yesterday that how these two people are characteristic of their age-groups. With time, they have shown utmost perseverance to follow their philosophy and have been successful in getting mass acceptance and come out as icons of contemporary living. With all my guts, I disclose Dalai Lama and Hugh Hefner.

I know you gave a chuckle there. It’s like calling out for your own murder but hey! Did u ever notice that these two men both at eighties are ruling the two invisible empires; the lost Tibet and the d(b)aring Playboys. Both are Kings, both started their journey towards the unconquered dream at a young age. They share one philosophy, what you say is what you preach. My goal is not to put them under one category, bottle them and sell my pickle. It is pure comedy which amuses me and inspires me to tell you about it, and I think I have done that.

No, I am not running away! We all know that the modern gurus tell of nirvana and the new age living. And the instances of sex and salvation being clubbed are more than once. They are the ideal retail mix. Both, sell well. The job is not mine to ridicule one and hype another, because both are poles apart, standing strong in their own ways, but the comedy of errors is not be missed!
