This post is an ode to someone from whom I learnt this word, Cannibalize.
Cannibalism (from Spanish caníbal, in connection with alleged cannibalism among the Caribs), also called anthropophagy (from Greek anthropos "man" and phagein "to eat") is the act or practice of humans eating other humans. In zoology, the term cannibalism is extended to refer to any species eating members of its own kind.
Now that we have set the meaning clear, i would like to add the following ways in which this term finds further meaning:
1. Life has Cannibalized Art.
2. The art pages and events have Cannibalized all news on Page 3 in page 3 oriented papers.
3. Shilp Shetty has Cannibalized the imagination of a nation which earlier spoke about the weather with more pasion.
4. TV has Cannibalized reading.
5. Polution has Cannibalized our greenery.
6. Social networking has Cannibalized our work hours.
7. Brangelina has Cannibalized a perfectly great hunk and sexy chick into the smug married of the century.
8. AshAbhi has Cannibalized all religious temples and pujas etc.
9. We hope the Tatas can help us Cannibalize the international market.
10. Indiscriminate urban planning has Cannibalized any hope of ever walking down a road/ lane/ area with less than 10,000 people at a time.
cheerio.................
