Well, ever since my childhood I had a keen interest in movies. Not exactly in watching movies but in acting. My research work on human behavior through prolonged verbal interactions with Indian males from across the country kept me busy and hence the Hindi film industry was robbed off another struggling actor. Yet I am a decent fan of good hindi movies.
One thing always used to rankle me - never ever did in a movie a hero, leave alone a hero any character had the name Kartik. (Technically that still remains to be the case) Finally some three four days back I saw this trailor of a new movie Karthik calling Karthik. As much as I got excited about watching the movie with Karthik as both hero and villain (I presume the other Karthik in the movie is a villain) the plot somehow seemed to have settled in my mind.
And I came up with this- a poetic conversation with kartik the bold blogger (on right below) and kartik the cold reader (on left above).
Kartik calling KartikDude KGV next time when you blog
remember people dont like to slog
such a ridiculously long post
someday even the websites wont host
I am not here to quench thirst
thirst for fame or thirst for name
I dont care even if you also blame
Why publish if people cann't read
why have a pet that you cann't feed?
Life is not all about success and greed
I blog because I like blogging in deed
You must have read my 'success mantras'
The post was popular like Nagpur Santras
When I tried reading the Lesson one
till the first few lines it was surely fun
then I woke up and started again
it felt as if it was duranto train
on and on.. with no signs of a stop
no new embarkers and same old cops
Duranto is fast it is better than the rest
If you have the patience its perhaps the best
are we talking about the blog or the train?
I dont mind anything lets talk about brain drain..
Dude you just waste time yours and mine
your literary success already died with NINE*
now if you want success with each of your post
write tiny little tidbits like a good blog host
Ten sentences per para and four paragraphs in all
use simple words n phrases; fontsize should be small
Nobody has the patience and no-one has any time
when epics are being shortened, long blog is a crime
I know those who love my style will always stick
whether I write nonsense or 'kartik calling kartik'
Your blog and your style, I just told you a trick
sweet short and powerful advices kartik calling -kartik
(*NINE - NINE is an acronym for NITIE IP NEWS EXCLUSIVE a moderately popular periodical published under the leadership of the author in his post graduate days. The author had to shut the periodical down as both his editorial team mates resigned after getting offers to work with a leading bank, and author by himself was hardly effective.)
It remains to be seen which Kartik ends up convincing the other one, but for the time being both the Kartiks are awaiting release of the movie "Karthik calling Karthik". Not because the name of the movie but to see 'Shonali Mukherjee - Deepika Padukone'.

write on what wil be of interest to people...dont write novels...or if you r writing one...target to right audience...for someone like me...i can give 5 min for such blogs...hope u get the point...
The poem is excellent....
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think your data on "No Character" in films named Kartik, seems wrong....
There are lot of Mythological Films in which, Shankar-Parvati's son is named Kartik.... (Actually named Kartikeya but called Kartik)
In one of the movies, Kartik is actually a Hero and kills lot of demons....
Please watch Zee Cinema for hindi mytho oldies..... or Bal Ganesh (Animated Movie)
Note - I understand that corrections to your blogs may not be welcome. However, I could not stop myself when you wrote - "One thing always used to rankle me - never ever did in a movie a hero, leave alone a hero any character had the name Kartik."
This brought tears in my eyes....
@ Devdatta (Rawan) : How I wish all my other readers were as informed as you when it came to Hindi movies.
ReplyDeleteI love corrections in my blog and encourage readers to point out factual errors if any. You get one star for this correction.
When you accrue 5 stars - I will write about you in my blog. The scheme applies to all the blog readers.
