BOLLYWOOD DHAMAKA

Once upon a time the great Bollywood blockbuster had caught the imagination of the entire planet. Its popularity has not become any less even now. But we have to make efforts on to fully understand the highly educative world of the crazy capers of those times.


Take those spectacular sound effects for instance. They were, some say, to aid the untrained ear differentiating a comedy scene from, say, and emotional scene. Hence the TWWAAIINNGG!!!!! after the hero has delivered a funny dialogue or cracks some supposedly, joke, or the lamentable shrieking and screeching of violins pleading us to cry at the supposed tears jolter and emotion jerker of a dialogue. Well, do you remember that DHISHKIAOON!!!!! sound with the gun shot, even if the gun has a two- three foot silencer attached to it?? While we are still on sound and music, on which our Bollywood largely depends on, let us reveal the commotion our movies caused abroad. The ease with which our stars slide their hands over the guitar, (twisted face, wide-open mouths, agonising over creating music) has put the likes of Santana into a fizzy. And never the less are those heart-wrenching lyrics. Take this sample of philosophy: “I’m your chicken noodles, you’re my American chopsuey.” or “Main tera tota…..”(I am your parrot...) the list goes on. I could never learn those lyrics, yet I enjoyed singing them. My la… la… la… always came to rescue.


Moving on from the lyrical horror let us go to a twenty-leagues-under-the-ground-horror-flick. A complete guide to life after death, it will convince you use only ketchups and jams for make-up once you become a ghost. No wonder the sales of such commodities increased a great deal. And to hysterically HA! HA! HEE! HEE! HO! HO! every soul that came your way. Oh! Sorry if I scared you off. But there is more to it. How can we forget this? If you are a woman and have become a ghost do follow this. Wear a white sari and carry a candle as an accessory. This is a never fading fashion. It’s always in baby!


The Futuristic Society has put forth a mind-boggling question. What if they make a Bollywood science fiction? Will the hero, heroine dance around planets instead of trees? And will the theme be ‘Lost-in- the-Galaxy’ instead of Kumbh-Mela? God save us…
And let us not forget those famous action sequences lose our notice. Dare-devilled to put a commando to shame, they have inspired armies around the world to study the legendary bullet dodging techniques of the Bollywood heroes. The best way to make bullocks out of bullets, it has been observed, is to sway wildly, let out a Tarzan-like cry and run towards your enemy (preferably in slow motion). When hit, increase the swaying and the decibels of the cry.


There is one little thing to mention. There must be millions of questions in the eager young minds of our country. For instance, when the villain points the gun at the hero, why does he wait till the hero gives him a solid punch? Or, how come the twenty goons wait eagerly for their thrashing. That too, one at a time.


In desperate attempt to understand the effect of movies on children, one psychologist put up some questions to a ten year old. The kid’s reply, even as he punched the scientist out sight, was, “DISHUM!” It will, you must have realized, take ages before one can make any head or tail of these Bollywood blockbusters. But don’t fret over their subtleties. Because there’s great way to beat the logic. Just get yourself an ice-cold drink, sit back and let silverscreen rule your minds. Ignorance is bliss!!!

Yay! I have a blog too!

Hello everyone. Greetings!
I creating a blog today is a very good example of how much time an idea takes to implement itself. I am a Social Media Executive and have been planning to create a blog for myself since the time I have become one. Its past 4 months since then and I have chosen (randomly) this day to create it, finally!
This officially is my first blog and I am clueless what to write. So I look up, down and sideways thinking and thinking and thinking....
So finally decide that each one of you who will be reading my blog henceforth should know what I am made up of.. So here it goes-
By profession I am a Social Media Executive and a super workaholic. So much so that I sometimes work on holidays too or you can say I don't have a life apart from work at times. I am not kidding. I have never wasted my time and have worked part-time during vacations too. My mother has always been upset about it. But then I can't help it. Either I find work or work finds me. Still I manage to socialise. My future employers can start thinking of hiring me now.
If you ask me what is it that a person notices in me when he/she meets me for the first time? I would say my talking ability. I have developed this uncanny ability to talk. My talking powers can entertain you or bore you to death, depends upon the kinda person you are.. I don't do customised talking ok? You like it or you don't like it. Anyway I am glad that at least it did not get me into trouble.. (fingers crossed)
Another thing about me I am always charged, up for more and more activities. By the evening when everybody is half dead, I come back to life and I am up for more. Wowie! I cannot sit in one place. Always on toes.. Can't help
I think I have written a lot but there is a lot left.. I am a trained singer and a not so trained dancer. I love movies and I love them so much so that I can watch it alone. I love my company more that any body. I love ice cream.
I have a lot of hobbies that are at an amateur stage like photography, tarot reading, palmistry and graphology.
I have always been interested in super natural activities,  beings, occult magic and mythology. I believe that if you wish for something passionately the entire universe conspires to get you that thing and I have experienced it time and again!
The last thing I want you all to know that I am super self critic. So if you think my work is good you will have to try real hard to make me believe that it is.
Hmm.. now you know quite a lot about me. Still there is always an element of mystery in me. So keep guessing till you find.
Wow I dont know what I have written so I am going to read it again while you guys keep guessing what I am made up off... and do let me know if you get THE VIBES!!!
