147 Downloads, 0 Comments

A few days ago I shared the X-rated version of Emotional Atyachar on my blog. The response was amazing (as expected:courtesy DevD, basic human instincts) and the download count was nearly 150. But what shocked me was that the post had no comments. Not ONE!
That reminds me of a part in Dev D (yes, I'm not over it yet!) .





















When Lenny is involved in that MMS scandal, she tells us that that her face was never published in the papers, nor shown on TV.. so how did everyone know it was her? How did everyone recognize her on the street? Everyone downloaded the clip.
If your logic is questioning you because this is just a movie, then imagine I'm talking about the real thing that happened in DPS a few years ago. Why did it gain publicity over much more serious matters going on at that time? Is this the Indian media's fault? Or is this just a basic supply and demand law in action? The Indian media always gives the people what they want, not what they need. That way we all function in a system where everyone is escaping the reality and is happy to be humored. But what is the media? Its not a living being, but a collection of human minds. It does what the people who form it do.

Why are we ashamed of showing what we think? Why does the Indian system advocate hypocrisy? Why did the Ram Sena force couples not to meet? Why did they attack girls who drank publicly? Is drinking privately any better?

Think about what we think about. It'll change everything.
