Bollywood per se !!

Old habits die hard !! This is a famous quote and is applicable to most of us.We all have various habits and one such ardent tendency of mine is (or rather was) newspaper reading.I was once this person who would start my day at least by scanning the contents and drinking up as much as i could.But then yes time plays its game and changes our priorities and gradually my newspaper reading time dwindled till it became nonchalant and of course i hopped to another source as a replacement to the newspaper and that was the one and only Google news.This thing ,Google news is the electronic version of the Deccan chronicle more of the masala factor and less of the actual thing happening.

                 Off late I've been seeing(thankfully not reading) a lot about the suicide of the so called famous actress Jiah Khan,Priyanka chopra's dad passing away..Sanjay dutt in jail..bla bla and the list goes on.Okay so the female had a rough patch in her life,ended her life pathetically bringing in a lot of shame to her friends and family and the media is promoting the news like that of an Indian landing on the moon.She has written a really lengthy letter (which most of the people i know shared in Facebook  about her being sexually abused,aborting a child and what not.Why does the media have to make a big issue out of this,just because she was a Bollywood actress?!? Her parents instead of blaming her boyfriend should have taught her all the morals needed to lead a decent life,she should have taken responsibility for her actions instead of ending her life in such a disgusting way.

                    There are many people all over the country who are being abused really badly,aborting a child and breaking up with their boyfriends does that mean all those people should end their life in a similar,cowardice manner!!! This would bring a whooping reduction in the country's population.. Had this been the case Dan Brown could have used this concept in Inferno instead of the complicated bio war theory which he has managed to write about in 700 odd pages (chuckles!!) Added to this the other day i glimpsed that some fellow who was the reason for Jiah Khan's murder had a difficult childhood,sigh poor fellow..seeing that news made my heart ache.Gosh who didn't have a difficult childhood ?!? Anybody with a truckload of homework and the pressure to score more marks would agree with me i presume.
             So Priyanka Chopra's dad passes away,now that was really a news that i was most thrilled to see.Perhaps he was a nice man,perhaps yes maybe he was important to her and she being a very popular person on earth did need some media attention.But prolonging the same thing for over a week makes it as funny as it doesn't seem to be.There are many people all over the world losing their life due to cancer and there are many people who lose their fathers' don't they deserve the same treatment then !! 
                            Maybe these people or rather the stars didn't want such kind of attention but isn't Bollywood paving its way into many things these days.Like for instance the other day a friend of mine was telling me that her client asked her if she would dance to celebrate Diwali which i later assured her that it was surely the resultant of watching too many Bollywood movies which had created such a gumption.This thing is somewhat like the outer circle in Dante's inferno and i presume it is surely bound to grow in the future.I suppose one day our country should change its name from India to Bollywood which would be thoroughly delightful and maybe that would be the day when the country develops,not because of the various feats but because of our dear old Bollywood !!!
               Well so this time i really didn't know to whom i would dedicate this post of mine,maybe to all the blessed souls who manage to tolerate the antics of the media !!
