Mile Sur Mera Tumhara......

How many of us do really know the meaning " Mile Sur Mera Tumhara " ? How many of us really mean it when we sing that song or say those words? Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, as captivating as it sounds, not many understand the meaning of it. Actually there are very few, in over a billion population that we have, really mean it when they say it. Yeah, you feel the intensity of it when you hum those words, but to the end we either simply forget it (the real meaning of it) or get excited for that moment and start scrutinize the video of who should be in it or who should not.
        I was watching the new version of it and my god, the comments were unbelievable. Everyone was bashing ,yelling and screaming foul. Well i see where everyone is coming from. I understand few movies stars being in it, being well established in their fields(miss worlds, miss universe). There are more prominent people missing in the video. Kalam ji, Narayan murthy(infosys), aziz premji, ratan tata, sachin, sports personalities who kept us in the league of elite and most importantly our communities and people, Bascially our concept of unity in diversity. I regret this video have seen the daylight but again why are we blaming them for this. We are to be blamed for giving them that status and making them idols. They would not have made it unless they think that its the best and they will be appreciated for it. Well again, what makes them so arrogant or stupid to think they are the only face of india and, only one thing comes to my mind. "WE"
        Recently, some Non-Profit organizations wanted Aamir Khan as their brand ambassador. He rejected them saying he cant be the ambassador for all of them. We believe that nothing can be done without their support. We are so mesmerized by the glitter world, that we cannot do anything without their name on it. Take AP for instance. Chiranjeevi and his Blood Bank. People just donate blood. All he has to do is say thank you. I bet 75% of the people who donated for chiranjeevi's blood bank might not have donated ever, not even once before, in their lives and not to anyone else after that. We want that filmi world. We are attached to it so much that we cannot live without. Salmaan Khan, under influence drove his SUV over people and was arrested in rajasthan for poaching. Never found guilty for any of those charges. He was let go. Recently some lady ran over people, drunk driving, and she is in jail and they say that she should be punished. Our law is strict, and she will get punished, atleast thats what the papers said.
        Take our politics. How many politicians do we know are from film industry? Start counting, almost everyone who retired from films, or in some controversy, has to be in politics. How do they win elections or better why would you elect a person who acted his/her entire life? Why would a political party give them a seat to contest in elections? Simple , we are stupid..ignorant.. believe everything... that they say.
        Make no mistake, i am not saying movie stars are at fault. They are common people who came from different forms of life to make a name for themselves and which they did, god bless them, with huge success. If we are arguing that where is the common man, there, he/she is in the movie star. They are fathers , mothers, sons, daugthers , uncles ,aunts and many more. Although there is nothing genuine in that video WE cant blame them, they have been acting their entire lives and its comes naturally to them. From where i see it, there are genuine.
         If i keep going like this, i can write a book on it but again who would want to read it. This aint no fantasy world and there aint no happy endings. Like someone said, when you point a finger at someone , three point back at you. Next time when you say something think, what gives them that right and do not rationalize it. If you think what i said is wrong please feel free to indulge me.

NOTE: Even the old one has film stars as many as the new version. This is another proof that how much we look up to them. People die for movie stars but not for people like Kalam ji, its sad but true.
