AN INSISTENCE TO DECENTRALIZATION


So many news buzzing-up these days about the establishment of an alternate film industry in Bhopal. And the news has brought euphoria in the locales of Madhya Pradesh specially Bhopal, and the resident actor’s lies within reach. Bhopal although do not have the sufficient resources as of now but the transformation is fast, as more and more filmmakers are taking interest in the city of nawabs for its unbeatable and hypnotic beauty. The lakes present its effigy in a pin-up manner.

From ‘Naya Daur’ back in 1957 to the latest Prakash Jha flick Aarakshan, about half a dozen films have been shot in the city, and many more are in the list including Rumy Jaffrey’s ‘Gali Gali Me Chor Hai’ and Prakash Jha’s Satyagrah. The credit of pulling attention on the city should go to Mr. Prakash Jha, who portrayed the city in very beautiful & elegant manner in his two films; and he proved his decision right to select the city. The second and third fiddle cast available here are local theatre or television artists who owing to different situations came into their life wasn’t able to move to Mumbai to pursue their dreams. So when they get an opportunity to work with such eminent directors and stars they agree on the offering they get to know about. In this way concentration of films budget has been cut either, or been shifted in other technical requirements.

The initiative is indeed appreciable to decentralize the talent exist in such a huge country. Whenever one dreams to pursue a career in films and media he/she reluctantly has to move to Mumbai, or else he/she has to abandon the dreams. Likewise in theatre too there an exits very rare opportunity to excel as theatre is a non-paid medium. The trench in between these two modes of entertainment is huge, the bollywood attracts each and everyone right from artists to businessman’s while theatre attracts only passionate artists. The lifestyle also varies of the artists associated; one is miserable while others are highly prosperous.

In India we have the world’s largest talent pool but the process of upbringing the same is as difficult as ‘to burst the coconut with your palm.’ In this case it’s necessary to decentralize the developed hubs for various activities and arts, and transform the other nuffs into the workplaces. It might have required three things – Either Government has to relax the policies to attract more and more activities across the state, or the productive persons has to create niche in the other cities which would then work as a benchmark for others, or the local talent should have to commence their own industry with the support of senior artists and few money-makers to decentralize the actions. Yes but for now the move is indeed significant. I hope that in other streams also this would begin soon and decentralization would help in development of entire nation rather than a few strong destinations’.

DO NOT VANDALISE THE LAWS OF NATURE



We all are creations of this beautiful nature. Some evolved in the form of plants, some as animal and others as human beings; and all have we blessed by one or the other unique characteristic to  pursue a prespecified function. plants among all the categories of living being comes at the tiptop as they play their religion to bring water and to produce the ‘O’ responsible for our (that of animals and humans) lives – both the essential elements for survival. Animals also created with two different glossas – ‘the herbivores’, those consume plants to survive and ‘the carnivores’, those consume animals to survive.

Both the categories mentioned above might have few exceptions too, but the exceptions are non-fatal/non-cataclysmic. In both the categories the organisms are strictly bound to the assigned tasks/prespecified objectives. In many cases if plants started consuming animals, fishes started to live on land, chickens setouted consuming humans, or lions started flying in sky – a term we had gone through several times during our school days, ‘the ecosystem’ would start deteriorating and then we’ll have to suffer serious consequences out of the blue.

We humans, the only living organisms on earth, exists at this point of time, who has dare to touch the holy laws of nature we have been following since our evolution, and not even we are touching them we are trying to alter them/amend them consistently, and even without knowing it, and the apparent reason behind it is that we have been controlled by the capitalist powers; and without knowing the forthcoming consequences, for those, who are knowing it.

We don’t left the sponsors of our life (the trees) – we cut them…cut them…and cut them, until our flats haven’t been occupied with beds, desks, tables, chairs, almirahs and etc..etc; and even we require more. We kill elephants for their ivory teeth, we kill molluscs to get pearl out of them; fishes, chickens and goats have been tired of running away from us. We kill the birds for their feathers, sheep for their fleshes and hairs, and there are so many such examples of cruelty. 
We don’t apply breaks when we see the dogs over road we simply trample them and runoff. Are we given the lives to them? And if so, in case of production too nobody gets the license to destroy the produce.


We construct the biggest edifices across the beauty of nature, by destructing it; we shall only be rewarded in the form of volcanoes and earthquakes at some later point. We had a great leader in the name of ‘Jairam Ramesh’ previously who seemed down to earth and so lover too, he took so many great decisions in favor of nature, but now there is a requirement on his successor’s part to keep the momentum on.  As well as it’s our duty too to protect the beauty of nature – duty to protect rivers, the mountains, the air, the forests, the animals and likewise so many things. Please do realize the laws of gravitation/energy which rightly suggests that whatever goes up comes down and energy couldn’t be destroyed it can only be transformed from one form to another; and recent Japan attacks proved this destructively.
