Oscar Wilde once said "The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius".
Where my intelligence is concerned, these ain’t mere genius. They are the Jehovahs of creativity. They are the dauntless stalwarts of worksmanship. In one of our palsy-walsy conversations, god made a confession: "Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, what the heck did I hatch". Well. I was kinda bollixed on who God was referring to. As I kept thinking, my espirit d’escalier kicked in and I deemed that the reference "stars in the sky" could be a metaphor for "the immortals on the silver screen".
Once my bumpkin brain cracked the addle(or as I thought so), I figured I should sit and manifest on who God must be referring to.
Tusshaar Kapoor( I hope I got the numbers right? Ektaa?): Mr Kapoor was most prolific when he played the PROTOTYPICAL MUTE(refer to Golmal). Thereafter his focus switched to more character-driven roles, id est a crippled athelete, a blind-deaf-mute scientist, an obese gymnast, a bald barber and a hamstrung Sachin. Trust me Tusshaar, its fine by me as long as you let my baby sleep in peace.
Kishen Kumar: Oh my! I Just when I thought my baby’s ordeals were over, he re-surfaces in "Papa The Great". My baby blubbered, wailed, shivered and howled in her sleep(with the thoughts of her new Papa) until he went AWOL back to his sepulcher. My baby sleeps well these days. But, as they say the archfiend re-transpires once in every thou. Though, its a poor prognosis, I offer my petition to let mea infantuli sleep in peace.
Udita Goswami: While I was saying to myself, "Why is this lad, Udit, hell bent on kissing and sleeping with men on-screen? Isn’t homosexuality still a tabboo in India"? Thats when God pointed out that there was some kinda lapse in the production unit and the manufactured product was miscalculated. Hence, God went ahead and released a Beta version resulting in Udita and not Udit. Whew! I need a drink.
John Abraham: There was a time when the likes of Baiju Bawra and Tansen could melt stones with their intense harmonies. But even legends like Baiju and Tansen fizzled accepting the bitter-pill when it came to this stone. There is an ocean of unbroached talent in this lad, id est. his biceps, triceps, quadraceps, abs, beefcaked booty and all it takes to be a stone-deaf actor. But as they say, "some stones ain’t just meant to melt". And I say, "Go Ronaldo Go!"
Everytime I pound, batter and clobber myself into watching a movie with the "stars in the sky", I say this to myself, "Place your trust in the lord, your a belongs to them for the next three hours**".
