Be tolerant towards art……


Art is something related to creativity, art is the skill where one uses his skill to devise something new, something creative. Art is meant to innovate, to show the world something new, art is something which have no dimensions. It is true that not everyone is an art lover, neither everyone has the capacity to tolerate art forms, be it paintings, writings, movies, music or any other form.
The recent hype towards the movie ‘PK’ and Aamir Khan portraying Hindu traditions and god men as fake and useless is utter disgust. What I believe that Aamir Khan is an artist, the writer who wrote, Abhijat Joshi, is an artist, and an artist is meant to show whatever he feels like. If someone is not tolerant towards his/her idea, be kind enough either to ignore it or be silent enough not to let him/her feel bad about his art or creativity. An artist does a lot of hard work to present the world something new, in a new way, which the world is unable to comprehend with normal eyes. Anything that is happening in this world, has a different meaning in the eyes of an artist. What may be good in your eyes might mean something else for an artist. This also means that he/she has a different view to present the same in a way which you might never have thought.
As a human too, everyone has one basic right, the right to express. And art today, has a strong need to have this basic right because it is seen in the modern times that people have turned out to be more orthodox than before. Anything which hurt religion, or their beliefs is sure to be face the brunt of the crowd.
Like Boman Irani said in the movie, agar is desh mein rehna hai to, avoid everything about religion…
Nahi to bum pe trishul padega….
Then why do we say that we provide everyone the right to express. Everyone is free to express, if you don’t feel that someone art is in line with your thinking be humble enough to oppose in a non-violent and humble way than to abuse the artist or the art. We have seen in the past too how MF Hussein had to face the brunt of public or Jumpa Lahari for that case. But think once, are we really tolerant, which we claim to be? Are we really modern, or liberal, which we claim to be???

Either you can be modern, or you can be closed ended…. The choice is yours… If you cannot tolerate something which is someone’s creation, then never ever joke about any other religion, too….

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

The Natural Sadist

Throughout our lives, we run past many people. Some are good, some bad; some take our heart away, and some etch indelible marks on our soul. Some help us through this material journey, some become obstacles. But everyone out there surely come across such people in their lives who have no particular aim for the future. The person appears as if he has no work to do on his own self. He/she always irritates us, makes our life hell, and appears as if deriving pleasure from our troubled state. We feel as if the person had just taken birth on this planet to make others regret their births. The pains a sadist gives to others is nothing more than the punishments given in hell. He makes us regret every decision we take. He/she may be anyone in your life. An unsatisfied boss, a clingy distant family member, a person we used to recognize as a friend, a revengeful enemy or just another stranger who seems to make life hard for you. Who is a sadist?  A sadist it seems have cruel inte...

Think before you act, your act affects others, do consider this fact…

“This is my life!! Do not try to interfere”…. Pallav shouted hard at Meera, hard enough to shake the very soul of her. She had always been the most affectionate and caring personality in Pallav’s life right from his childhood. She had been a friend, companion, a support system and his soul mate. She had seen worse times of his life and made sure he never broke off during the darkened phases of life. She had cared for him as a mother, listened to his apprehensions like a sister, supported him as a wife, and stood by her through the test of time. Their relationship was the one where the weight to push forward the relationship and future were only on the delicate shoulders of Meera. Every single night she would cry hard thinking about her destiny that her future held. It was not that she was unhappy about her relationship. But, she too deserved care; she yearned for love; she wanted affection from the one whom she considers her life. She had always been a pillar that supported...
