(ouch, i have gone on again, sorry.)
hi again, now that i've had my sweet dreams.
na, not maachh. but the mukhorochok chanachur from calcutta sounds so good with cha.
my fam obsessed with ujjala'r chanachur. same one?
this morning, with my cup of tea, a friend on whatsapp said her pal in star plus had insisted despite her "jhamrani" that bs left for the film. i laughed out loud and said that that's fine, i as delusional hormonal phangurrl have reserved the right to believe what i believe and i am allowed to hold on to my last few illusions, privilege of crossing fifty.
what i didn't say, was bs is not so silly that he'd create this havoc if he means to have a career in films and get his fan base along with him.
as he points out, movie shoot starts in april, ipk was supposed to end by end feb. our hard working munda, who has clearly said that yes he is interested in movies too, as have many tv stars, would have finished his commitments and gone to his film shoot. that he didn't, is thanks to ms gul and her hashing up of everything the moment the guy said he needed a break or whatever.
otherwise, why the drama at all? why the zee news leak, the forum 32 game, the very uncandid "interview," and all the unnecessary salt and chilli powder?
interesting questions of work, ethics, employee rights, and just plain ambition which we are all encouraged to have in this show-after-the-show. in a global culture of just chase money and nothing else, if a young man with immense potential wants to try what's out there and make some mullah in the bargain, then all who "lau" him are offended at his effrontery.
and the employer whose earnings make good use of this talent and popularity is allowed to just feed him to the lions.
of course, the big corporation converts everything to its advantage (as they with hands on their hearts and pompous rhetoric are trained to do in "leadership conferences" attended by those that will never be leaders) and says look we care for you so much we pull the show, and it's all the boy's fault, he wanted to make a movie. he ditched you, not us. nice nimboo in the chanachur. no need to admit, show was about to end anyway, no need to upset the global audience base that they are trying so hard to grab... only to convert to cold hard cash. show them how much star plus cares. unique channel love. issi baat pe ek gana ho jaay.
ah the spin of it all. would put the creators of the very concept to shame.
so now, the tulsi leaf dipped in the ganges ph is making money with its fave star on another channel, ripping off a character entirely created by bad boy. sp is milking every bit of ditcher's popularity on spl, more telecasts of a show where the main attraction has left the whole thing.
and the boy without a job, for some time (no salary for 4/5 months, try it out sometimes you'll know why you will opt for it), who never made the kind of money performers make on the silver screen for that amount of time/talent given, is giving interviews trying to keep in touch with his fans. and the fans are raving and ranting.
movie. see you wanted to make movie? you ditched us.
how many of us will not go to our employer and put in our papers if an opportunity to earn many times what we do came along, using our specific talents in a bigger, more exciting field?
and how many of us have struggled in the field of acting? the mortality rate is something else. the only way to do it is to strike while the chana is hot.
hot. uff how did i come to this word? bless the boy, may he always remain hotwa. and may being asr give him every reward he deserves.
some day maybe we get to see a movie on the fiasco. if social networking, why not this. as much, if not more, masala.
