I have promised some people that I will share my recently written articles. This one is straight out of Bollywood (filmi ishtyle) - no you still havent convinced me that Hindi movies have had a makeover!!!
LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE…
Love is blind. That is an understatement, and besides I am so tempted to add to that. Wouldn’t it be just right to say, Love is blind and lovers too! While the cupid-struck lot find it extremely important to publicly enact the passion of their lives, the not so lucky love hopefuls can at least have a free demonstration. Indians have always been very considerate.
Love certainly calls for extreme measures in a city with a teeming population of other love hopefuls, fighting for breathing space, let alone romantic settings. By extreme measures, I am referring to every type of stunt you have ever seen in the world of Bollywood. In case you’ve missed the latest Hindi film because you couldn’t get a ticket even in black, don’t fret. A visit to "Scandal Point" will reassure you that you can have live off-screen entertainment of an equally good standard, for free. The sea breeze and the rocks beckon several young couples who cannot afford exotic dinners at five star restaurants. Of course, unfortunate encounters of girlfriends falling off the rocks has been quite common and hence many have taken to tying dupattas (always available at hand) around themselves so that if a strong breeze does blow, both should die together in the true spirit of filmi love. Even the dogs think the rocks, the ideal place to "shed" all inhibitions. And well, Indians have always celebrated “togetherness”.
There are however those boring people who love to spoil the fun for anybody who isn’t leading a life as miserable as their own and wake up one day deciding to protest against Public Displays of Affection. It beats me why we cannot all just live and let live. It is commendable that Indian cinema has improved so much, now offering really jhakass tips on romance. I’m sure you can now move from Chowpatty beach to the Swiss Alps in a flash. From dupattas to mini skirts, it's the whole package. Ah the many faces of love. Love has got a double promotion.
