When Ramadhir Singh mutters, "Hindustan me jab tak saneema[sic]
hai,log ch***** bante rahenge", he must be having Churchill, Gandhi
& Marx' spirits dancing to his tunes. And I played a perfect killjoy
to trio's dance, with my utter nonsense comment -"Why so much mehnat is
da, when politician's election speech on youtube is da. Koi bhi ch*****
ban jaayega". Ok, I see Clint Eastwood gnashing his teeth, pointing
his gun to my head and whispering," Your PJs will sound good in the
coffin you're going to lie into. To this I say , "Saar, go and watch FIR
on SAB TV saar. It's the best TV serial saar.
Not sure about others but I, being a movie buff, still imagine things
happening around me in a total filmy way. I still expect a sexy chick
to sit beside me, whenever I board a plane. And that would be my "How I
Met Your Mother" story for my kids. Or, a hottie crossing the street
absurdly and I meandering my bike around her to save her life , and
getting a flying kiss in return. Forget the kiss and hottie, what I have
got in real life is aajkal-ke-launde looks from the veterans.
With each accumulating movie-minutes to my database, my this habit of
drawing analogy of real life events to movies has become quite chronic
in nature. Today, after staring over my Facebook wall for a good 20
minutes, it occurred to me that even Facebook users(Fbookers henceforth,
for brevity)don the role of Bollywood actors. If you're stuck at "20
minutes", in your face buddy, our build servers were down, which means
virtually no work. To come to my original topic, let's take a look how
these Fbookers can be classified:
1. Salman Khans - Whatever this Khan boy does, it's super hit. From shedding his ghadiyaal tears, to enacting "just-before-takeoff Krrish" in Teri Meri from Bodyguard(refer:- Teri Meri and Krrish Chasing Scene), Sallu nails it all. There are Fbookers, whatever they put, it gets bombarded with likes and comments. Here, "whatever" doesn't imply that they put bad & boring stuff. It simply means, their charisma simply transcends the quality of their posts.
2. Hrithik Roshans - They are the ones, who devote quite some time to maintain their image. Although their appearance will be once in a blue moon, they will come out with original stuff and leave their mark. You can love their posts or hate it, but you will never undermine the effort behind it.
3. The Rawals & the Puris - They are everywhere, I mean everywhere. I mean, they have so many roles offered that soon they will start outsourcing them to new actors. Their Facebook counterparts can similarly outsource their Facebook presence to the kids and wannabes. Every alternate post will have them or their comments or likes or likes of the comments. Again, it's not at all a bad thing. This shows their visibility and networking skills.
4. Ram Gopal Vermas - Aah Ramu, once upon a time you're the wonder kid of Bollywood. Every thing you touched either turned into Urmila or Vivek. Your present condition should be left unsaid, for it will put even Urmila and Vivek to shame. I have seen Fbookers, who used to create wonders some time back, but has totally run out of their steam , despite trying quite hard.
5. Uday Chopras - And I was about to forget the beacon of light, the knight in shining armor for Bollywood. I would have nightmares of Mr Chopra dancing in front of me for days to come, had I forgotten his mention! You see, even after getting born with a silver spoon(read Chopra family), one needs special quality to have your CV getting rotten in some B grade movie's director's office. There are Fbookers, who even after getting their photos clicked with Obama, composing posts which can put Ghalib to shame, will die for a simple like. You can't offer anything else than pity to the poor souls.
This list is not at all exhaustive and mutually exclusive. There are
Fbookers who will have none of the above qualities or may have a mix of
these. This just reminds me of the fact-"All the world's a Bollywood and
all the men and women merely actors". Or did I say something wrong?!
