Blasphemy?

When it comes to Bollywood music, having no talent whatsoever is never a problem, ever.

All you got to know is 'how to make music samples that would sound seemingly original, use of keyboards/synths as a substitute for almost all the instruments under the sun, pick up the winners of TV reality shows for singing the latest numbers in Bollywood (Or at least assure them to do so, while the camera is on and the TV viewer’s sentiments are at stake).
Current Bollywood music scene, is such a striking contrast to the old-school Bollywood, where music was merely manifestation of emotions and nothing else. There is still no movie-album, which stirs us with same poignancy as forlorn tunes from ‘Safar’ & ‘Anand’ (The Rajesh khanna era) or even the Ghazals from ‘Arth’ or ‘Kaash’. All this with much fewer resources & no reality shows. So this has led me to believe that with the advent of 'electronic-ization', the music is getting more and more regressive & talentless.
All we need to think upon is, Is it really worth our while to lash out at music industry in public, upfront?
(One way to address the issue, sending letters to the PM, for that is the latest trend)
But then, our thoughts and efforts are rendered meaningless when the epiphany strikes and we realize that the music (like the film-industry & the political scene) is mere reflection of our society. Even the extremely talented like ‘Dhruv Ghanekar’, ‘Vishal dadlani’, ‘Suraj jagan’ have to pander to the lowly tastes of the masses. “Joh bikta hai who chalta hai”. It is our passive encouragement or rather a form of connivance, which gives them the impetus to make such crap out of their vivid imagination. I personally, am an ardent supporter of ‘Indie’ music. I believe they make the best music because they are still in their pursuit of fame. They do well simply, ‘cause they are underrated. They don’t have an option but to create ‘magik’ (Ludicrous pun intended) in their music.
One of the patrolling-measures would be dislodging the useless censor-board from the Bollywood industry which goes about ‘A’ rating any movie with the slightest sexual connotations (Yes, the pre-pubescent movies with 40+ looking Saif-ali-khan as the lead, too) and deploying it for the much-deserved music scene which continues to go unnoticed.
This is the country where ‘Shekhar suman’ had the audacity to release his own music album, and Himesh reshammiya as the ‘action-hero’, the merger of ‘Brett lee and Asha bhosale’ was cited as ‘Global music’. This clearly signifies how ‘conceit’ and ‘self-love’ prevails over ‘talent’ and ‘substance’ & evinces how dreadful lack of self-awareness can get. (Self-actualization is a completely different trajectory, 'Jake shimabukuro' would know). This further paves the path for some more inane, wannabe artists. Have you seen Nikhil dwivedi or for that matter this dude from 'Band baaja baraat'. In fact the term ‘art’ is mercilessly played around with.
If Pakistan can be so intolerant as to hang ‘Aasia bibi’ for blasphemy, shouldn’t we guillotine the modern Indian “artists”?


Submission

Nature has made you a buffoon. Your inability to discern well from what you’ve learnt so far in life has turned you into a complete conformist. You are sunken in ‘prudence’ and are at the mercy of your life. Notwithstanding the brutality of your path, notwithstanding the hackneyed journey, your belief in certitude of your success keeps you moving. You have genuine enthusiasm for the commonplace. You are averse to the precarious mode of life.
To escape the tedium, you listen to the most banal music, you take pleasure in participating in social gatherings, you watch popular movies and pass them off as ‘Awesome’ or ‘boring’. No in-between. Albeit all the odds, you go to college everyday. You are very sorted out. You have sincere belief in their pedagogy. You are a god-fearing person, possibly pious too. You are morally upright and quite scrupulous. You are bonded by the social values. The ‘ordered happiness’ it offers. You lack the excitement of the unforeseen. You lack the ‘kink’ in your nature. You lack having strong opinions, your opinions are often borrowed, your actions mannered. You are imperceptible to the finer emotions in life. You aren’t too ponderous. You aren’t frivolous. You may be flippant but you aren’t too amusing. You are after the measured success life has to offer, proportionate to your well-meaning efforts. You sacrifice your beliefs for the fulfillment of society. You are the product of your environment. There is nothing inscrutable about you. There is nothing ‘amiss’. There is hardly anything in you, out of ordinary.

Is there any meaning to your existence?

What's in a name?

Since time immemorial, people in our country with rational views, people who have NOT lost their touch with ground realities and code of ethics, people who act as elitists, people without opinions,people attending kitty parties, people who 'chill' or simply, people who are gifted with the act of 'breathing' have all looked upon (or rather looked down on) Shiv-sena as an ogreish, ethnocentric, regionalist, vandalistic party expressing its political dissent and a party horny for limelight or simply a party rebelling without a cause. Anyone with perceptible senses can deduce that. You don't have to put it up as your fb status update. Recently, the party has been suffering from severe existential crisis, consequently making efforts to take on its rival counterpart. They call it stealing the 'thunder'. Most of the issues raised by them are cited as "radical", stirring a'sense of belonging' in jobless marathi youth. Agreed. But for once, the party lashed out at our nation's 'dude-with-the-dimples' for him wanting to include some obnoxious looking players. No, this time they were not being racist, nor do they dread watching unsightly beard-faces in IPL. For once, their stand seemed solicitous about the nation. The issue they've put up is important! Of course, their ways of conveying it is objectionable. For they lack a 'leader' to be reckoned with and thus resorting to vandalism. Forget about a nationalist party, any citizen of India who gives a fuck should find it objectionable.
"SO WHAT? Everyone has right to freedom of speech and he has a right to chose the best for his team.", reasons a friend of mine. Well, he might as well call our PM's close aide a demented whore. Freedom of speech.
However, its very much likely that the hermaphrodite maker of MNIK (you know who) might have conjured this whole thing up, for what they call it as a 'publicity stunt'. For he gets a wonderful cunnilingus from the 'dude-with-dimples' who further gets it from our CM. Its a chain. In an idolatry-India, cricketers and filmstars are blowjobbed more by the media than by their own girls. People with such notions fail to see through the 'petty politics', invent social groups like 'Do hell with Politics... I will watch "My Name is Khan" any freakin how!!'
(Dont believe me? follow the link http://www.facebook.com/pages/Do-hell-with-Politics-I-will-watch-My-Name-is-Khan-any-freakin-how/332089487845?ref=mf)
Citizens,further, show "solidarity" for the 'movie' and exhibit their "spirit of mumbai" to the world by braving through the Z security outside the movie theatres! These are not my quotes. Those are by our country's mainstream english media, who also seek opinions of pretty bimbos, page3-iites, fat punjabi aunties and chicks who'd drop their panties at the drop of a hat for 'the-dude-with-dimples'. Some of cliche-ridden comments are 'Sena has lost it!.. Srk is so cute ya... I <3 MNIK'.
Then there are people with support-tees.



So much of political apathy. So next time you wanna speak up for MNIK, DONT.
