A R Rahman’s Commonwealth Games Anthem – my goodness!

After ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam‘ and ‘Jai Ho‘, all had expected something better from A R Rahman. His Rs 5 crore track which took him six months to compose has not been well taken by his fans who feel disappointed and let down. I think we should save ourselves from more embarrassment by not comparing the song with that of Shakira’s ‘Waka Waka.’

If you thought the music is horrendous, wait till you get the hang of the lyrics – they are absurd and ridiculous. With all due respect to Mr A R Rahman, he has done a crap of a job with this anthem, which should be recomposed.

If you thought AR Rahman’s Commonwealth Games’ Anthem is enough to give you sleepless nights, wait! The Delhi Anthem for the Commonwealth Games titled ‘Dilli Meri Jaan‘ by Dr Palas Sen will surely put you to sleep. The song is such a drag and gives you a feeling that our doctor sahib is still stuck in his early Euphoria days.

There are even fictitious reports that like Himesh Reshammiya’s chart buster song, ‘Jhalak Dikhlaja‘ had attracted ghosts in a small village in Gujarat, AR Rahman’s ‘Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto‘ is believed to have brought all the dead music composers to life, weeping uncontrollably. So the floods in Delhi! People near Suresh Kalmadi’s house in fact heard Pancham da crying and pleading not to play the song. It was only after the Games Committee members swung into action and played Palas Sen’s ‘Dilli Meri Jaan‘ that he fell asleep instantly as if hit by a sedative dart.

Really after all the mess created by the organising committee aka Suresh Kalmadi, both AR Rahman and Dr Palas Sen have ensured that they drive the last nail in the coffin…good going. At least they are living it up to the expectations of the vulturous media waiting to pounce on any given opportunity.

So what will it be? Will these songs be recomposed or will be played repeatedly across all FM stations that people get used to them? Or will be another Rs 5 crore for recomposing it? Well, you never know…Yeh Dilli Hay Meri Jaan.

Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ theory proved wrong

There are predominantly two types of creatures that walk on this earth – one who dominates and the other who is always dominated. While this dominant will see to it that others adjust themselves according to his/ her needs, the other humble, inferior, modest being would go to great extend (knowingly or unknowingly) to comply to the needs of the former.

Darwin’s theory of ‘survival of the fittest’ here has been proved totally wrong. The perfect ‘mundu‘ is the case in point, where this inferior creature can co-exist with its dominant variety. The genes of the mundu creature are simplistic in nature and reacts suitable to the calls of the superior dominant variety – running errands ranging from washing its clothes, tiding its room or simply tolerating or even so doing what this superior dominant creature should have been doing for itself. The mundu creature never complains – one characteristic scientists are now study to identify this super gene and utilise it in plants in famine infested areas of the country.

Now the characteristics of the superior dominant creature: This is more of a virus, a small infectious agent that can replicate only inside the living cells of organisms. Ideally it is too small to be seen directly but after several mutations it has now taken the shape of a human, making it difficult for scientists to identify, separate and destroy them. This virus is a result of parents’ pampering and is most likely to be found in the middle-class populated areas. Ideally it attacks the mundu via vicinity contact and eats up its immune system, making the mundu its virtual slave.

The virus cannot detect the basic duties of a human being and thus gets these duties fulfilled via the mundu creature. There are times when the mundu retaliates this virus, although the occurrence of the mundu fighting back is very rare and scientists believe that such behaviour of the mundu is one in 10 billion. After the superior dominant virus attacks the mundu creature, it usually resorts to blogging as it is doing now.

Notes: The word ‘mundu‘ is a slang in Hindi language meaning a person who runs errands for others or a slave that has been exploited by its master(s).
