Censoring Karma

Reading an earlier article from Anurag Kashyap had me thinking about how nothing has changed in the past couple of years, and how nothing can. It's ironic, since our Hindu philosophy is based on the principle of KARMA, yet everybody starts pissing all over on a mere factual mention of those they love/idolise, if it comes anywhere to being disparaging. It is like there is a censor towards being treated the way you deserve. The fuck-up over "My Name is Khan", which derives from SRK's apolitical move in the IPL, is lunacy.

On one hand we cannot tolerate criticism. One the other, we have the 'grass is always greener on the other side' perspective, a result of which we have never been able to appreciate what's right next door. Take, for example, Slumdog Millionaire. We were left fuming. Take, for example, a lesser-known movie "Valley of Flowers", which received rave reviews on IMDB, being described as a newer, mature genre. But it fell totally flat on me and friends, despite Nasiruddin Shah and despite the sensual treatment provided through much of the first half.

ps: Anurag Kashyap wrote the script for Valley of Flowers
