Of the Celebrity blogs, Shahrukh & Aarushi

Hey , I am back, where was I ? ...." Gubbachchi" ( the sparrow) was flying the world around. Just a day now & I have so much to share with you all, you are right, it is the Gubbachchi's view of the Celebrity Blogs & the Hoohaa around it, I'll come to the more serious chapter of Aarushi a little later, though it is something that actually kept me very disturbed of late.
Not that I regularly make it a point to read Amitji's blog religiously everyday but , I definitely have it in my 'Favourites', so that I do not miss the link.For those of you who haven't yet got the opportunity to visit his page , here is the link http://blogs.bigadda.com/ab/. I confess that I also went ahead & posted a comment appreciating Amitji of the platform he has created to exercise his right to defend his & his Family member's individual live's, Like a good "Head of the Family" kind of persona.But, it took not long time for me to feel that the blog was getting a little too loaded with too much of defense ( to the extent he went ahead to defend even Ash's creased outfit that she wore at Cannes) and self explanations which sounded highly opinionated. At times , I also thought he was now using the platform to keep count of many old foes. Sometimes knowing somebody too closely also creates certain situations where you don't like colours of the person that you are seeing. May be the same case ! never expected Amitji could carry so much vengeance in his heart. Well, I still remember my words, it could be just one of his colours, as we can see many others in his writings which actually bring you much closer to the person that he is. But, do we appreciate of him belittling Shahrukh's "Paanchvi Pass" ?
"Rang De Basanti", a film that remains very close to my heart till date, Aamir the hero , irrespective of him not being my 'ultra ' favourite sorts....but still made me recognize the kind of workmanship that runs in his veins, wallah ! I must say he made me think "may be I was too prejudiced about him?". Even till lately most of his movies honestly made me feel guilty that I am reluctant to recognize the talent behind the name. Until, I read his blog http://202.87.41.148/digital/AamirKhan/login.php, however, there are reports that after this episode ( of he calling his dog Shahrukh and all that) Aamir has apologised in public, I wonder how the apology matters after the damage has been done.I am sure a person of your calibre do understand this little fact that the crime has been done.
Well after all, have little idea about how the man in question - Shahrukh has reacted to these. I am sure something will be brewing in his mind & he might be waiting for his opportunity. That's what the blogs have been doing till now. Its seldom that the actors have used the blogs to express their creative straits, but more of a platform to "Give it Back" to whosoever it is.
Though one of the foremost Computer Savvy star in the B-Town, I am glad Shahrukh has not yet taken this way. I mean I only hope that he doesn't tread the path that his predecessor stars in the blog world have laid.
Sharukh !!! if you are reading this , Please , Please , Please, don't go this way. Whether Aamir calls you a ....whatever, whatever,....or Amitji compares cards on your TRP & his... You still Rock. We love you for the kind of Person you are... I think we have an eye to see that selfless hard work that you continue to put in , in each of your projects ( not that others don't), its for the inspiration & motivation that you pass on as you continue to do this. Like you expressed in one of your episodes, a story about a man who " wanted to build the world's most beautiful bridge", continue to give the best to every li'l bit of work that comes your way. You just Rock !!! & will do so till times come. Final Verdict " You are Paanchvi Pass!!!"
Now, about Aarushi - the 14 year old from Noida. Two brutal murders in the country, one in Noida and the other in Mumbai, both have kept the nation shocked to the core, the news channels are buzzing with Flash news' and every channel is presenting the cases to the society in its own way. Now, that one of the cases ( Mumbai one ) is solved, the attention is on the case from Noida where it (Police source) is claimed that the Father killed his own Daughter.The case is getting very complicated. If all the story is to be believed ( about Aarushi having an illicit relationship with the servant which enraged the father), then one needs to wonder as to what is the kind of Up bringing that we are providing to our children. Police claims that in this case, the Father had an illegitimate relationship with one of the family friends and this kept Aarushi upset , eventually she got close to the servant at a very young age of 14. She was also equipped with a cell phone, was very social & outgoing, to the extent she had plans to celebrate her birthday in a Pub ( at the age of 14 , mind you!). Now, is this what Globalisation or in other words Modernisation has taught Parents. Is this what is "Parenting"? If Yes! then , the Future is in front of you in the form of Aarushi's case.
This is a solid alert call to all the people who are new parents or are going to be parents , why? even to people who are planning to go the "Family" way. It is not all Lovey Dovey, Malls & movies, weekends, friends & Parties.... Ok, Ok, I agree they are important , but are we forgetting the responsibility that we need to make good citizens of our Children. Or may be , its time to really "Go Back to the Vedas".
More from Gubbachchi Later.....Take care
