Well I expect most of the people
around me to be of a similar general knowledge/awareness level. Aamir Khan Productions
started a new show called "Satyamev Jayate" which was aired
yesterday. It is but obvious that I enjoyed the show and somehow felt
connected. But I am not here to defend what others are doing or what's their
motive.
Since I really liked the theme and
powerful first episode I ended up reading blogs/post/articles as well about it.
I stumbled across an observation which many people won’t agree, they can be classified
as
1.
Most of them have positive opinions
about the show but are skeptical (probably I fall in this category as well).
2.
Couple of them really neutral (just like
the show) stating the facts.
3. Then this category who are just too pessimist/negative.
Interestingly the last category (3)
has a fair share in the number game as well. What brought me to the blog today
was the third category of people/individuals. I started analyzing the reason
for such a reaction and figured out there are many categories of people.
A.
People who are in the media industry
and it’s their job (get paid for) to write about things.
B.
Then there are random individual
like me who blog at their own will.
C.
And there is this special category/breed which
wants to prove they are different in everything they do.
Well, all I can say is sorry for the
people in C group, maybe I am overtly critical but I couldn’t come up with a
better way of classifying them. And if you dig more info about the authors of
the posts/articles (negative reviews) you will get to know they are a combo of
category A and C. In other words they are people who get paid to write stuff which
is not conventional. I do not mind such stuff as long as it’s not on a personal
level, my ire here is against the people who have gone at length to portray the
entire initiative just for making money.
There is another old cliché which says
“Every small step counts”. I know it’s too early to pass a judgment (just like victory
of Jan-Lokpal bill right after the Anna’s fast got over) but I am highly
optimist and expect things to turn better.
I would end the post with a quote
from Aamir’s movies where the character he portrayed said - "There
are 3 types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who
watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.”
