Unfortunate Madness

Friends......

After confronting  anger and disgust for a few weeks now, couldn't hold on to it further. Never thought that, I’ll take this clichéd channel to speak out….but unfortunately so, this is the safest and convenient option as of now!...until we find another way to connect :)

Lets rewind back to the 2010 era in A&R , where the A and R were very distinct, where A was desperately “innovating” ways to do everything apart from what they were supposed to do!

ACL was one such, hugely hyped event, whose so called success came from its doctored marketing gimmicks rather than the event itself which was a sheer waste of productivity. If you have seen/been involved in the event, you’ll know what I am trying to say and if you were not there around…man you’re so so lucky!

I was lucky then..to see the whole hullaballoo from a distance, but not too distant to stay away from the madness. And thanks to that so-called-famous blog. I did join the bandwagon of its followers, (after Big Mam endorsed it). But what a shame, it was another doctored gimmick !

Unfortunate it is, that I chose the same channel to talk, and probably I’ll end up using a similar language. But surely its much less unfortunate than the return of the megalomaniac leader, too desperate to teeth into quick glory in a fake hope of reviving his hay days! That’s what angers me, frustrates me!

For the last two weeks, I have been patiently hearing stories – how Lalit Modi…(its easier to stick to the already coined names..and honestly nothing has changed for this name and role)….made desperate attempts to invoke his disciples even before he revived himself…how he organized shady meetings…as if to resurrect sleeping mummies from dungeons. I heard of some “starter” events with desperate marketing (that DK guy with slides, camera & no-action !) and I hear of some high-headed ambitious plans in days to come …huh!

Cricket, I always believed to be a silly game. But this blasphemy in the name of fun and engagement is disgusting! And we cannot let this happen.We should combine all efforts to stop this unfortunate and terrible madness.

Modi & team , you have NO IDEA what mess you are getting into
