i was in college wid friends and was keen on watchin a movie....most friends backed out but well as they say birds of a feather flock together....swapnil agreed....and then after a lot of banter abt why we were goin for a movie while others were hanging out in coll and that we cud go sometime laters etc me and swapnil headed straight to the theatre....
when i reached the theatre the first thing that hit me...(like always) was the exorbitant charges they take for a 4 by 4 feet of space that they give u to park the bike!thats when u tend to realise how valuable real estate is! 20 rs for 3 hrs! for a 4 by 4 space lolz....anyways cut back to the front end of the theatre....
swapnil was checking the listings out and we both unanimously agreed to catch the friendly neighborhood spiderman!but there was one hitch....swapnil didnt want to watch it in english and i didnt wanna watch it in any other language!but then after a lot of persuation i agreed and we bought tickets for makkad manav(now thats how i shud be calling poor spiderman!)
the problem worsens because spider man in hindi means addition of a lot of more things other than only the language....they very nicely get in the different indian dialects within the hindi version and make the editor of the daily bugle a punjabi!(for heavens sake simply becoz editor is a guy with a heavier barritone u make him a punjabi!) not only that spiderman is ultra senti with his dialogues to mary jane....i mean even a normal gurl wud find a guy wid that type of a language a creep....cmon guys give some respect to mary jane shes a celebrity let her have a guy who is charming ......
the movie was full of shite and it didnt go down well wid me....i was wondering since then have any foreigners ever dubbed our movies for their audience then why should we?
the answer is simple...while most of their country is educated and can read...ours cant....and so our very considerate directors painstakingly dub the dialogues of every movie.......
even if i say that we aint got a high literacy rate am sure most of our country can boast abt their ability to read the national language....and this must be made mandatory if it is not as of yet!
i really think that use of indian languages on english movies not only screws the movie but also goes to show the poor state of the country....and i wud definitely not want to see our country be talked abt in bad light....
basic education is a must and every child must get it...afterall its their right...am lucky and priveleged to have got to enjoy this right but then i shall make sure i also take it as a responsibility and try my best to not let any child go uneducated.....and am sure if everyone of us took it up to us to do so we wud definitely not need to see any english movies dubbed in hindi or bhojpuri....
and then there wud be no longer the legend of makkad manav!

complicated!
Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become
Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me
Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into
honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no
Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

thats comlicated by avril....and i can bet that no one can deny the fact that we all can identify with the lyrics....its just so contemprorary and jus so us!
we all go through a phase where we are forced to change ourselves according to a particular group we live in....if it were only habits its ok( and that too for the good)....but if one has to change his very own self and have an image makeover to such an extent that he cant identify his own true self what is the purpose of existence?!..
people wud say "when in rome do as the romans do" but they imply "when in rome become a roman and forget urself"....its just so not fair for a person to change himself to "fit in"
Fitting in is an issue which every person faces at a point in life called teenage....and if not teenage then youth....coz theres no person who hasnt made amends or rather changes to himself/herself to fit in to a group....or a society.....why cant we just be us and why cant others accept everyone else the way they are....
the society can make a mountain out of a molehill so damn easily....they wud be snobbish to a person wearin a pink shirt....or a person who laughs too loud....or a girl who is equally comfortable wid guys as much as wid gurls....(they call such gurls as sluts to be honest!) i mean why make a predicament and that too a biased one on a person simply coz he/she is different from the robotic world that u live in?
am sure there are those people in that robotic world who think wish we cud also jus not care for this damned world but then they get a reality check ....they need a business contract....they need some contact....they like that girl in the pink dress and so on and so forth and hence they cannot jus be themselves coz people might not accept their true real existence!
why is it such an issue to be urself in public?i can surely say that if everyone learns to be themselves the world wud have real human beings and not programmed robots who are not sure of their identities.....think over it and u wud soon know if ur a robot or a human being!
