Instant is celebrity-dom these days. Let us look at a few examples. Let us begin with singing. Let us hear the greats. Saigal to Latadi, Heman Kumar to Kishore Kumar, they all practised individually, as a team, rehearsed with the entire crew. Thus were born those gems of songs.
Unfortunately, now even the established singers and musicians are okay with each one singing his/her own part or playing the required piece of music, and the entire song thus getting assembled technologically some time later.
Already there is electronic music. Alexa plays songs! Now with the Revolution 4.0 quite in full swing, robots could make music much better than the human species.
In such a scenario, emerge singing stars who shine for a season of any given channel, and are often no more on the horizon. Often they would not be the "riyazi" types. While they are celebrities, they are made to dazzle like a galaxy. Very soon they are the burnt out deadwood of their own phoney publicity!
Much worse is the scenario in the field of writing. Anybody who can word-process is a writer now, especially given the technologically enabled writing sites. Such writers do not read at all, THE basic requirement of a good writer. Writing is one per cent spontaneity and ninety per cent deep thinking through truckloads of reading, and just nine per cent styling.
Unfortunately, now fluff is in. Very wordy, shallow style without genuine content is in! So-called 'smart' stuff is flourishing. Such writers do not read at all, not even the basic stuff. Often hence there is a shallow shadow of each 'author' on every other! You would find most all everywhere, the same silly phrases and words, and the same empty stuff!
The sad part is such celebrity authorities can easily be cloned, and thus they vitiate the real genuine stuff, whether it be the texts, the music, and in the final analysis, society, and life itself.
Who cares though? Who has the time for the real stuff? Time pass hai, Bhai, sara ka sara! Time pass me sub chalta hai!
Pratima@ When authenticity is swapped for frilly shallowness, brilliance itself is blighted! Thus emerges the real darkness!
