Much has been said about the necessity to ban smoking been shown onscreen, the directors are asking for creative liberty and the censor is citing social responsibility as their flag!
While i watched LCMD, there was a scene where Rani is having a paan and she spits on the edge of the pond (there are these steps leading to Ganga) and that struck me, was that really necessary? I mean, wouldn't it have been also better to show Konkana chiding or stoping Rani from doing that? Or rather, show another character doing it and have both of them, chastise, get disgusted and ridicule that person!
I'm just amazed that people just have no respect for their surroundings, every day goes by and women continue to throw plastic bags of nirmalya into the mahim creek, and every day, it's a war with them... Trying to explain to them to throw it in their backyards, to dispose it off in their gardens instead of the creeks!
There is blatant political powerplay involved in the arrangement of festivals! Yesterday while returning from the resort, we encountered not less than 50 processions for Durga Visarjan! While this number is probably justifiable in Bengal, it certainly isn't justified in one area, that too Vasai!! Most of the people participating were Maharashtrians, okay we are secular, but that doesn't mean we are going to celebrate each festival with so much organisation! All people only wanted to dance! My dad says this is their social space, but then why is it necessary to hamper civic traffic!
It's all about power and vote banks at the end of the day, the theory is simple, one mitra mandal can gather 500 people, the other 1,000, ten such mitra mandals to be sponsored, get the political banners floating and voila you've got people in your hands, the next time you want to organise a rally, you've got a following of 10,000! and it's so simple, don't try to educate them, don't give them jobs, don't tell them what's moral or ethical, just ask them to follow!
And all this leads to what, corruption, power play, and such environmental disregard, isn't there any religious authority in the country who will explain to everyone about the dangers and harms of submerging these humungoes idols in the sea? Doesn't the fact that they get dismantled and broken and washed off by the shore make any difference to their sentiments, when it lies in the garbage dumps? Why not have a minimum height of 3 ft, no paints allowed, only mud to be used, and plastic flowers which can be recylced? Don't donate coconuts, donate only money which will be re-donated to charities, gather all the real flowers and convert to vermicompost, reinstall the same idols year after year, why can't people be sensible!
I'm currently in a rage, and not finding a way to implement this emotion, sadly not many people read my blog either! Maybe i should be sending this as a forward to all the people in my mailing list!

I am sorry I forgot your name. But I wanted to write here...
As you see around you what people are doing, it's not all about politics only but it's about money too.
Have you heard that sentence "untill there is any single fool in this earth, intelligent can not die hungry."
Well there are lot of things which we can speak on for days. But the point is what is the use of it.
I think somebody should crate a blog or something which can attract others or motivate them to join and spread it to all over India at least.
Nice to experience your thoughts Ms.---
Have a nice day and never change yourself for this world which can not change for you.
Why do I express my views? Because that is my perspective, my reason..
I'm working on an article which I'll be forwarding to people and the press. It's high time we took some action for something that we believe in.
:) you said the world cannot change for you, then that's just one of the things we will do, right? make it change... how else will we live?
But the way things are going, the masses aren't able to make that judgement, they aren't able to distinguish, they aren't able to draw the line and take a decision, they're being controlled by the ones who do and use it for gaining power.
and that is what needs to be changed.
