www - weird weird world!!!

1. Like I said, politicians crack me up!!! The latest news being Amar Singh - Bipasha tapes! (Now, I don't know if the person in the tapes is Bipasha the actress or Bipasha someone or if she is actually Dipasha. (Who cares anyways!)), but as I was reading the news this is the ad that kept showing up in my next window - PRICELESS@!!!!!!!

2. Now, I got a dress from Chennai, and it is of "Karishma" brand, so I Google-ed it to show it to my friend, and this is what I get -

Remixed Songs - Original Nonsense!!!

Long time since I have been here....but now I shall be more regular (a promise to myself!!) Now this promise will come true because I have decided to write on things (of which I am not any part of) that hurt me -- 1. as a concerned citizen of the great nation of India and 2. as a tired-of-nonsense customer of the Indian film industry (I am fortunate that I only watch movies in 3 languages!!!)
There isn't much in my life other than these two broad topics anyways... 

Is it only me or does every one (or at least most of you reading this post!) feel ashamed that we have to put up with the most unoriginal and pathetic music now a days. Leave aside plagiarism which is what most of the Indian film industry is anyways fleshed out from, but anybody noticing increasing trend of using old songs to put shoddy new lyrics and blatantly murdering them on the name of remix / item songs? 

Do I really need to ask some one, have you heard old vs new Dum maro Dum, Pyar do pyar lo and Laila O Laila???? Can't we just leave the old songs alone? I understand the GenX and Y want to hear more rock stuff and to satisfy everyone's needs, remixes were happening.. but then why add lyrics which totally spoil the songs? Read this - unche se uncha banda potty pe baithe nanga?????? And then you want to come clean on why Dev Anand did not like your song??? 

vs 

The other two songs come no clean but this was the most horrible of the lot!! These music directors should be now branded as serial killers on loose... Remixes are not new to my generation and we have tolerated a lot of crap on the name of the "pop music and remix" but this one now takes the cake!!!

Pritam dude - you got to really think out of your regular box and make something original... I wish we were never even nominating these ^$$es in the awards categories, isn't it okay to have less music than to have this rubbish?????

I sincerely pray to god that if you don't come up with original songs then you don't even get any sales!!!
