00:00So, in our families, the emotional bonding between parents and children is through beatings.
00:06Basically, we are brought up like Kashmiris.
00:20And, continuing with the bitter things.
00:24I didn't want to give my own clarification, but you must have understood from what I said.
00:27I am a misanthrope.
00:31I hate humans.
00:34Seriously.
00:36Because, I will give you reasons.
00:37For example, I grew up in Western UP.
00:39I am a Jat from Western UP.
00:41So, in our families, the emotional bonding between parents and children is through beatings.
00:50Basically, we are brought up like Kashmiris.
00:52So, when the father feels like beating someone up, the mother comes and says, it's for your own good.
01:02The Home Minister says, it's for your own good.
01:04And, I grew up with that.
01:05Later, I met boys whose parents never even touched them.
01:08I said, your parents are so disgusting.
01:12They don't want your well-being.
01:13So, basically, we grew up like Kashmiris.
01:15And, my father was a hockey player.
01:18And, he used to play on the right wing.
01:23So, he used to practice his drag flick, scoop, volley on me.
01:28But, the thing with hockey is, hockey is like a pellet gun.
01:32It looks like that.
01:34So, it looks like that.
01:35Then, others can also see that his bone has broken, or he has gone blind, or whatever.
01:40It's exactly like a pellet gun.
01:42So, in my house, we used to live in a one-room mansion in Delhi.
01:45Five people.
01:46So, we weren't that rich.
01:48So, we weren't that rich.
01:50So, in my house, we used to discuss for a long time, who should we kill.
01:55Because, hockey is not a viable weapon anymore.
01:59So, this discussion kept going on.
02:01One day, when it was going on, there used to be a Sharma ji in my neighborhood.
02:06That uncle came and gave my father a pipe made of plastic.
02:12He said, kill him with this.
02:14He said, kill him with this.
02:16You will get hurt but you won't be able to see.
02:20So, my father asked him, is that okay?
02:22He said, no, what is that?
02:23He said, this is soft Hindutva.
