Self respect!

 Currently, everywhere there is just one glam news. Yes, you guessed it right. It is THE wedding, reported hugely. One has to just unlock the phone, and there flash pic's galore. The newspaper pull-out's, for instance, are overflowing with the guest lists comprising the who is who of the art/sport world.

Rihana to Punjab da gabru, all performers are being out-done at their art by the antics of the celebrity guests. The TOI pullout has an entire headline for the three Khans'  "nattu, nattu". Dhoni's dandiya has made such a hit that his helicopter shot pales before it!

"(you) have monies, (we) are  ready to bend backwards" seems to be the motto. In such a context outshines by its dazzling brilliance the denial by Lata Mangeshkar to perform, to sing in such bonanzas. Apparently, she was offered millions to do the honours. Politely but firmly, she rejected the proposition. 

SUCH dignified SILENCE makes a genuine artist, I would say. She would never bunk, give a miss  to the umpteen rehearsals for/before the actual take. Never, however, would she cheapen her art. Her integrity indeed marks out  the purity of art, never for sale!

Pratima@Art lies in celebrating the integrity of art and the self respect of the artist.

Better beware!

 Do you like old Bollywood films? I sure do. They have a few stereotypes though, such as the 'beta who passes B.A. with first class'...
