GULAAL


GULAAL...
To most of my readers, this topic ll remind them of movie GULAAL by Anurag Kahsyap. Its a compelling watch with some quite superlative performances by Kay Kay Menon, Abhimanyu Singh etc etc...
Rajasthani revolutionaries plan to use GULAAL as masks. I feel this movie as a cocktail of democracy, constitution, rajneeti and republic. Too much of democracy can penetrate into anyone's head.
Well... m referring Gulaal here as a mask which I wear, you wear and everybody among us do wear.Isn't it? I cudn find anythin better than this to name it ;)
Everybody among us wear a mask. Its not Gulaal and its not visible at all but we do wear masks to do something without getting noticed.
We all r having a revolutionary within ourselves. But only few dare to get into this character. We all know wat s goin on within our surroundings. But we put a mask on our face pretneding we r not at all aware of these.
Gulaal is a tale of unfulfilled potential. We all r having hell lot of potential in ourselves but we never come out to show it. We all want someone to stand by us. We all dont know whether people with us r really with us or not. All we can see is a mask which we think is truth and believe it. Yes, dats very true but we ve no other options. We believe what we see without giving it a second thought that it might be an illusion.
Does Gulaal mean being diplomatic?? We all r diplomats to some extents..aren't we..may be we dont want others to see real of us or may be we r afraid of something.
Can anyone out of us blindly trust anybody without seeing the filthy, sweat-stained and ugly side of them?
The answer is no. We cant ignore the dark side.
But still we r following somebody. Nobody is moving on their own. Everybody s feeling some driving force.
Do we trust our bosses, politicians, prime minister or anybody who is driving us??
The answer is no again. We all r having skeptical attitude. We all are a skeptical listener. And we believe that people always act selfishly and my dear friends, we all r cynical in real.
Actually everything is based on calculation. We keep on calculating every moment.
We ve found a solution too and We all do is rebel but ve we ever had sticked to it. Our rebellion is the bitter, sardonic laughter of all great satirists. I think m getting too much into rajneeti wala side..
Lets bring our lives..friends and evryone..Gulaal we wear among our people..
Lets discuss us first, our friends with whom we spend a lot of time. I wonder if anyone among us exists who has never had bitched about any of their friends on their back. But we wear Gulaal all over our face. Nobody can see within that.

Why dont we just wash our face covered with Gulaal and portray the person what we really are without seeing the pros and cons.
I know that at some point of time in your life you might have realized all this :)
Last but not least, I think all gals must wash their face first coz they excel in bitching about anyone, her best friend or anybody..When u all gals there ll be urselves ;)

Am I ?


It was so cold in London. The greatest night London had ever seen. Fireworks and it was snowing too. The scenery was amazing. I had never seen fireworks n snowfall complementing each other..it was sooo beautiful. I was waiting for him at London Eye - an extraordinary symbol for an extraordinary city. He was leaving for India. It was our last meet at London. After an hour of wait I saw him coming. God , I was so excited. He had brought my favorite yellow daffodils. After giving them he said his flight was about to leave in 2 hours for India. We hugged and left. I felt like going along with him forever. He said he would call from there and we would marry soon. I was so happy that night and sad too as m not goin to see him for a long time.
His name is Armaan.
I went home that night right after he left. I told my parents about him. They asked hell lot of questions relating to him. What is his religion? What does he do? Since how long you two are seeing each other? Blah blah blah...i was fed up of answering them. No matter i was born n brought up here in London but my mom n dad were behaving typically like Indian parents.
I was waiting for his call. But he dint. I was so upset n annoyed, didnt have my dinner. Few days passed then weeks I was living with fear inside my mind. Did he meet an accident? Did he marry someone else? These thoughts flooded my mind.
I left for the place where he was staying. From a neighbour I got his India's number. I made a call immediately n asked for him. He was staying at Bangalore with parents. He told he was too busy with business so cudn make a call n apologised too. He asked me to come over to India n we would marry soon.
I was so excited. I told my parents, but they refused. I left my parents n booked my flight tikts to India. They blatantly told me never to come back to them.
My flight landed at Bangalore airport. I looked for him at airport but he didnt come to receive me. I called him immediately. He said he cudn come over to take me coz of his tight schedule and said that he would call me at evening. I went straight to a hotel n booked a room for me. We met at CCD at MG Road. It was so good to see hi again.
Then he told me that he was married and had a kid too. I was shocked. Tears of distrust was running all over my cheeks. And he told me dat he was a muslim. He said that he lied to me as I was a Punjabi and my parents would never allow marrying a Muslim. And his real name was Arshid. I felt like cheated. What would I do?? Where would I go?? Again all thoughts were running into my mind. Gosh, I was being fooled n used by him and i was totally unaware of it.
I cudn go back so i decided that i would not let him escape so easily, I asked him to leave his wife n marry me. He asked me to wait for a month then he would tell and confirm after asking his family.
I joined a call center in Bangalore. Since I wasn graduate I got this job by faking documents to them. These all backgroud check n verification would take atleast a month and by that time i would leave this job on my own. I met a guy while attendin interview for this call center job. He helped me in faking documents. I told him all about my personal life story n my purpose to be here in Bangalore. He asked me why i wudn leave for London to my parents. They wud forgive me. But i was too scared n also mentally prepared watever things wud happen i ll never go back.
I used to roam around with him during breaks..faggin..havin lunch together.
My company asked me to produce originals which i cudn n i lost my job finally. My friend also left for his native n now i didnt ve any option.
Armaan (Arshid) called me and asked me he wud marry me but i ve to convert into muslim and he wud stay 4 days with him wife n 3 days with me. He got me a place to stay in front of his house. His family has agreed to his decision.
I ve three more days to go. Now i ve nowhere to go. This s my only option.
I ve made up my mind and I am goin to marry him. I dont know wat m i doin with my own life.
Am i too dependent on him??
or
am I ?

INDIA,jahan JISM BIKTA HAI PAR SACH NAHIN BIKTA!!!


It took a long time but I always wanted to start writing my own blog,then i thought wat ll be the subject.
So yesterday i got struck with a topic while watching news channel. Yes,it is all about the controversial reality show Sach Ka Saamna that got high TRPs recently.
Well..i guess everybody knows that Sach Ka Saamna is based on the American show 'The Moment of Truth'.
Contestants have to answer 21 questions related to their lives after undergoing a polygraph test that determines if an answer is true. A contestant who dares to speak truths throughout walks away with 1 Crore (INR ofcourse ;))
Samajwadi Party MP Kamal Akhtar raised questions regarding the show's content in the Rajya Sabha and a notice has been issued to the TV channel for indecency or u can say asking obscene questions related to sex ofcourse, afterall
we all r Indians where sex is the biggest issue.
According to him, in this show obscene questions are being asked by Rajiv Khandelwal to the contestants or u can say
people who r daring to speak truth.I will come back to our dear Samajwadi Party MP Kamal Akhtar later. Lets first discuss all about this new reality show.
I wonder whether they ll speak truth if no prize money is there. I personally don't like the way this show is aired on TV saying 'Kuch dilon ke faasle mit jaayenge ya fir dooriyan badh jaayengi n all..wtf..
Wat i think if no prize money is there nobody ll cm n volunteer thenselves on this show. Like wat contestants said
that they ve come here for 'prayaschit' or to show their realtives how much they care. In real..nothing matters,absolutely fucking nothing..its all cosmic conspiracy !!!
Recently a woman was asked in the presence of her husband whether she would have physical contact with another man.
When she said no, the polygraph test said the answer was wrong. That simply means she cant speak truth in front of her husband. Even the money cudn force her to speak truth in front of her husband. God knows how cruel her husband is..newaz he got d truth finally.. :P
Even women too have the rights to fantasize not only men..poor thing is there s no right for fantasizing these stuffs ;)
And my dear readers, this was the question on which Akhtar said asking what impression would be created on the husband. Dude first of all get a life. Let the poor woman breathe some air as her husband is surely goin to kick her ass. That woman was not ur wife. N if u want to know whether ur wife has had the same feelings or not,better send her on the show. U ll also get some money in return. ;)
I wonder y dont we all stick to our views rather than contradicting others. U cant make the whole people of ur kind.. better make ur own views n stick to it.That wud be a great relief for evry Human Being.
When ll we stop peepin into others life. let others do wat they r doin. I would like to ask Mr. Akhtar dont you think shows like splitsvilla or roadies too should be banned. As u said, questions that are asked on 'Sach Ka Saamna' may cause a rift between the families n may even ruin the relationship. N these all mite ruin our great Indian culture.
Coz in India showing skin n baring it all sells definitely and on this show people dare to speak truth n not bare ;)
They dont want exposing skin shud be stopped but they want exposing truths should be..thats funny though ;)
May be next generation people ll watch nude tv or shows like nudevilla aur nudies but not like 'Sach Ka Saamna' coz our society has grown enuf to watch porn on tv but not truths coz it s against our Indian culture our society.
People like Akhtar ll definitely agree if contestants are asked to remove their clothes one by one as per the number of times they lied :P
hmmm..its d nice way to increase TRP as well as maintaing our culture altogether.. :D
If Star Tv s sellin truth n people r getting money n fame out of it..let them be happy.
I wud rather like to sell truth in place of my body which noone ll purchase..irony though :(
But this s India my friend jahan "JISM BIKTA HAI PAR SACH NAHIN BIKTA!!!"
Kudos to 'Sach Ka Saamna'. Special thanks to Siddharth Basu, head of BIG Synergy Adlabs that is producing the show and Rajiv Khandelwal as well ;)
