I love to write,i would like to write a new blog post everyday but then when something is more in demand it just loses its X factor,also i cant seem to think on what new to write,I cant write on relationships anymore since readers have asked me to stay away from that genre,so finding something which is as interesting as dating and relationships is pretty tough..
It was a beautiful morning,i don't remember which day it was but it was beautiful,So i did what i do on every beautiful day..log in to facebook and comment on others status updates.,but this time something was different..whenever i typed facebook.com in my browser..it said cannot find server...Damn my Internet Service Provider,you ruined my plans to enjoy this beautiful day..Then a voice inside me said, Go outside Blesson,Step Outside..See The World...
My first reaction..Who's Talking..?
Since i trust random voices coming from my inside is decided to go outside,I dressed up,gelled up my hair..Tadah! Ready!
Just i was about to enjoy this beautiful i say..I saw the second greatest invention ever created..TELEVISION,for some strange reason that day it had a halo behind it too..so now i was in dilemma..Should i go outside and hangout with my friends on this beautiful day where the temperature is about 40 or should i just turn on the Television and sit on my couch and enjoy the sweet comfort of my house..
SO i did what any one of you must have did,I watched TV..*applause*
The reason i hate watching television is the type of junk that's being aired on Indian television and being labelled as entertainment,Don't get me started on the Music Channels..They all SUCK!!
So i planned to watch T.V but there's nothing to watch..in such times the best option is to watch movie channels.So i tuned into a Hindi movie channel and started to watch some 80s movie.And that when i came to know the utter stereotyping that happens in our Hindi Cinema..(The real blog starts now)
I was watching this movie...typical 80s Hindi movie when i say typical it means it had about 12 * 128 songs,about 45 fights,loud background score and Johnny Lever.I was watching it,liking it until i saw something really offensive(offensive would be a harsh term but i could think of any other word)
The villain in the movie had a sidekick named Peter.,who ran a illegal liquor business,other guy Robert was the local goon...I realised something here..why all the bad guys in Hindi movies are Christians ?
I don't have any problem with that,It just entertainment.we are not supposed to take it seriously...what i have a problem is the lack of originality when it comes to christian characters in the 80s movies..Here's something i noticed about the Typical Hindi Movies.
Only three Christian names exist in the 80s Christian cinema..
Tony - The most commonly used name in Hindi movies,He's mostly a goon or a drug addict.He's mostly found outside colleges eve teasing the heroine following which he has a fight with the Hero..Probably the most over used character in cinema
Peter - The second most commonly use name in Hindi cinema..he's overweight and runs an illegal liquor business,He's the most trusted ally of the villain and is usually drunk for the most part of the movie.
Robert - The character who has a huge foreign influence..He's the local goon..He usually doesn't have much dialogues the movies,The only dialogues he has is 'Ye poora area apun ka hai' which he says to the Hero following he has his butt kicked..
Also the non villainous Christian characters are always drunk and talk in weird English..They start their dialogues with 'What Man' and always end it with the 'What Man'
eg : 'What Man,tum daru nahi peeta,chalo Peter ke waha jaayenga..kya bolta..What Man'
Also not just about Christians..How do they actually Malayalees is a concern..I agree we malayalees do have a south indian accent..But these movies portray them is totally over the top..Malayalee characters are usually bald,overweight and just have one word dialogues..no points for guessing what word that is 'Aiyoo'..Seriously when was the last time you heard a malayalee say 'Aiyoo'..
PS : we are malayalees..we don't like to called mallus.if you are a malayalee and say your are a 'mallu' then probably you are a Jerk!
PPS : We are Indians first :D
