The Butterfly
There is no
story behind it.
It is split
like a second.
It hinges
around itself.
It has no
future.
It is pinned
down to no past.
It’s a pun
on the present.
It’s a
little yellow butterfly.
It has taken
these wretched hills
under its
wings.
Just a pinch
of yellow,
it opens
before it closes
and closes
before it o
where is it
What a charming poem. Taken from Arun Kolatkar’s much appreciated
collection Jejuri. I am in awe of
this book, unfortunately I don’t have a copy and so had to go all the way to
Pune, of course on the way to Jejuri. Last time I went to Jejuri with a rather
primitive camera and that was more than a decade back, this time around I was
much equipped. I recall sending it
across to Crude woman, it was quite an effort, but our disgust was having
egomassage and used it to work on her branding. It did really affect me, I
guess I lost my cool for some time. The miserable woman, universally disliked,
was working on her little life and gaining on influence. Living on the fringe
of Bollywood and ignored, she worked through manipulating awards (they degrade
institutions) and latch on to cause as compensation and play victims oops
survivors. So it was Rajiv Gandhi coming fresh from Shah Bano fiasco looking
for wonderful Indian muslim pseudo secularism symbol that Crude woman entered
the scene and has since never looked back on manipulations, she got a hattrick
of bonus and RS seat (mediocre lyricist ZK Bozz is the most undeserving to be
in RS, our man even manipulates to be compared with widely respected and
talented Gulzar. Audacious indeed), next Britain was trying to look good after
Iraq invasion and so lands Crude woman spick and clean as Gandhian. Try digesting
that one -Crude woman as Gandhian! They
are such manipulative people that this is now a tradition and passed on to ZK’s
genes. The little scoundrel is an unmitigated mediocre in whatever he does. At
one point he tried to be face of Delhi Police (as if there are no delhites left
to take it up) and simultaneously, must add blatantly, tried to promote liquor.
ZK says its liberalz muslim brandingz. This is the talent that sycophant
politicians based in Delhi admire, as they don’t have any mass base and work on
manipulation, the reason why Crude woman and Co. gain such easy entry. Incidentally
Milkha’s story is quite compelling but such a shoddy acting. It’s a shame. I am
sure Mehra was promised a National award. Asking rate these days is panch peti, says Crude woman, for dho peti she promises to arrange a
standing ovation at international film festivals with add on benefits like
‘critical’ ‘superb’ by her domestic journalist pets. But must add ZK’s genes
have not accepted Crude woman as alpha female of the family despite the fact
she has done things akin to pig rolling on its back. She is person non-granta;
I guess they know what she is all about. That’s another tragedy for Crude woman
brand. With ‘high profile’ rapes coming and going, Crude woman not capitalizing
on these sitters, old timers say she has lost her touch. She was one of the
first to be off the block (even Usain Bolt will envy) to the TV camera/studio,
in case of tragedies like rapes, expressing condolence so on. The reality seems
to be that she is being evicted by ZK’s genes in these games of social
concerned brands.
Meanwhile Crude woman looks out
of window of her posh Juhu flat as people struggle to work out day’s earning, she shrugs “sab ke sab saale langar ke murge”. She had
her eyes trained on biriyaniwala murga. Of course international level “murgas”
like Amir Khan or AR Rehman never allowed her to flutter near, these have been failures.
But she is wonderful Indian muslim survivor brand. As ZK Bozz says “jahan pe bhi dange ho victims tho wonderful
Indian muslim he hai, hum log hamesha se hi survivor hai”. Now that is the
problem with Mr. Modi he doesn’t play the game of symbolism, atleast till now.
Pseudo secularism survives on symbolism. In turn wonderful Indian muslim
branding survives on symbolism. With no pseudo secularism wonderful Indian
muslim brand collapses. It is the end of
world as Crude woman knows it.
…too much crap that’s what happens
when you deal with trash people, forget these nonsense the readers are invited
