Meaning of Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude  also known as epicaricacy  is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages. An English term of similar meaning (but with no noun equivalent) is "to gloat"; which means to feel, or express, great, often malicious, pleasure, or self-satisfaction, at one's own success, or at another's failure.

When you share your happiness it gets multiplied, when you share your sorrow it gets reduced. But  have you seen someone whose sorrow when discussed  can make him happy. Look at yourself in the mirror.

PM, Opposition, Media and now students all want  to share our sorrows and pain. And when they use this to get joy or pleasure in way of money, power etc.,  we listen to them and enjoy their speech and debate. They just talk for an hour  or so, but we talk for days together about this.

Take for example Arnab Goswami- We love to enjoy his command over the language, the way he controls the people, the way he shout at people, the way he talks for more than 90% of the time and the way he discuss our problems and use that to make the slot prime and make money out of this.

Modi is definitely a good orator and I expected that he will give a befitting reply to Rahul's speech. He did that too. But how many noticed that we the people were the laughing stock of their fight.  No toilets, digging pits and what not. Our misery was their joke. Half of the house laughed when he touched these points.

Rahul gave a fiery speech, Came prepared with points and fired the salvo. He too made mockery  of our plight. The other half laughed at us this time.

So the last two days made 500+ legislators, Goswami, Barkha's make fun of our condition and enjoyed the benefits.

People over and above 10 lakh of income will not get subsidy for LPG. Those earning 5 Lakh and above will not get PDS items. But these 800+  MP's (Both houses) enjoys  full veg meal at Rs.29/-. and chicken Bririyani at 34.00. Can anyone ever came forward and asked the question when  we will remove the subsidy we enjoy?

Yes, its we who suffer and but still pay cable charges to enjoy the fun they make on us. Intolerant who?  This word should be removed from dictionaries in India.

Once again: 
Schadenfreude  also known as epicaricacy  is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune.

Saprobe

Saprobe -An organism, especially a fungus or bacterium, that derives its nourishment from dead or decaying organic matter.

The incidents that happened in Hyderabad & JNU clearly explains the meaning of Saprobe to those who do not understand science well.  Soon to be forgotten Rohit is the mater on whom many are feeding now. There was a stiff competition to grab the opportunity to gain more visibility. Rahul ran couple of times, Arvind Kejariwal ,Didi's Derek O'Brien  and Behanji's team tried grab it. But Kanniah managed to nourish it and won the best Sabrobe of the year.

Poor Communists, when they were looking for something  to show to the world that they are still existing, Kanniah came handy. With Yachuri only left out as the last known face to Communist India, they were badly in need of some one. Kanniah as he rightly said in his speech used the Blue & Red effectively to manage to reach the center stage. Can anyone remember when you last saw any communist leaders on the TV screen?   Also, with polls in West Bengal where lot of people from Bihar  are settled and eligible to vote, Kanniah will be a useful tool for communists.  Derek, Sorry. though your party was the first one to rush to feed on Rohit, unfortunately it is going to turn against your own party.

What to do?    Be  happy to see that new leaders coming up?  OR Be sad to see that the students  using the caste card and start their life by nourishing the dead?

Definitely Rohit achieved nothing. Including his caste everything is doubtful about his death. But Kanniah used this opportunity to his fullest and nourished on Rohith's death. Dear Kanniah your time has come to earn. You can be roped in for campaigns and be paid. Booze and Money is not an issue anymore. Just go and ask for Azadi, Shout with high pitch. Communists have no choice now. They need some young face and you fit in there.  About your stay in JNU, don't worry at all.  We tax payers pay for your so called studies you undergo till the time you are there in  JNU and you please enjoy your time being our guest.

But remember one thing, all those students who cheered you many be your vote bank for a year or more but definitely not the voters of your constituency were you may be fielded one day. Tomorrow in search of a  job, running behind a bank to sanction home loan and vehicle loan, searching  school for their kids for admission, all these guys who cheered you today will forget you soon. However you can sill continue to be a campaigner, possible MLA/MP and frequently visit other colleges to address the future Rohith's and Kannianhs. Your life is set now.

Now that you have mastered the skill of being a successful saprobe, just look our for more Rohiths to keep you going. But be careful to not to become the organic matter yourself.
