Howz the weekend treating you? Having fun????
I am sure every one of you is aware of the “WRATH OF SATURN.” No it is not the next upcoming web series after #GOT (Game of Thrones) and no it is also not the latest game going viral after #PubG. To put it in a language we can understand better – “SHANI KA PRAKOP” or “SHANI KE SAADE SAATI” If you are wondering that I am about to talk about remedies for it, please. Let us leave it to the experts out there. I do not want to take away their bread and butter. Then what is it that I am going to write about? The #SHAITANSHANI. That’s what I would prefer calling it for now. Give this a read till the end and you will agree with me on this.
Have you ever sneaked out money from your parent’s purse to buy the poster of your favourite film / sports personality? Have you ever stood in a line of 500 people to get the tickets of the movie of your favourite Hero? Have you ever screamed, threw bits of paper and acted hysterically when your favourite hero enters the screen for the first time in a film? Have you ever had disagreements with your loved ones on who is the best actor? Have you ever been a part of the #idolworshipping ceremony of any of your favourite stars? Have you ever wondered why Mummy ke haath ke Alu ke paratha taste yummy all the time? If you have come this far, then great. I am assuming you are guessing it has to do with the nostalgia of being a 90’s kid if you have answered ‘YES’ to at least one of the questions above. But hey, that’s not just it.
We grew up #IdolWorshipping all our life. And now, we have graduated to #DigitalObsession. The recent outburst among people on the ban of TikTok is an example of it. Agreed, to a certain extent that the platform has proved to be a saviour for many talented artists across the globe with no restrictions on race, colour, gender or even talent. And with this ban, many of them are in a feeling that their talents may go unnoticed. Losing such a huge fan base is definitely a big hit. To think of it, these people worked hard every day to make their videos exciting and to grow their subscribers. So, much so that they never once contemplated a Plan B. And now, to do it all over again on some other platform could be a herculean task for most of them. My sympathies for all those who think they are doomed and are out of business now because of this #digitalcalamity. And my best wishes for those who don’t believe in fretting over such things and are instead thinking of an alternative plan.
