Band in oblivion

From some days I have been observing 'Ganesh Puja' as a state of celebration with placing a cacophony of localized Band played day and night next door to me. In certain time I have designed my faith in religion and its advertising elements in a way to satisfy my logical thrust. I tried to relinquish the disturbance of redundant music played across the place but at last I lost to my idea of patience. Then I tried to look closely over this festival and they way it is organized among people. People gave identity to this festival.
First of all this festival was having a political motive to unite people at the time of fighting against British 'Raj' when it was started by Bal Gangadhar Tilak. This was an unique approach started and appriciated by then freedom fighters against the another approach proposed by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi ( Mahatma Gandhi ) , The Salt Movement ( Namak Andolan and Dandi Yatra ). Both movement had deep impact over people of India at that time and both have mobilised people of different sect , with different cast and creed with the one aim of freedom from Raj.
Although Salt march was more globalised in terms of understanding, emotions and sensibility in comparision to Ganesh Puja, where it was more regional in terms of its understanding in terms of culture, language and identity.
Moreover, Ganesh Puja was the festival of Hindus where 'Salt March' was movement of a common man.

Now we are living in a free nation at least in some senses. We had recovered our freedom from the most aggressive race, which had discovered many nations, which had provided distinct learning processes, a race which is superior in many senses; from them we have snatched our freedom. We have sense of pride for our freedom. Pride which could be uncertain for certain masses, pride which could be politicized and religious in nature but modern India was founded on the grounds of political and social anarchy and conflicts of religious boundaries. In fact having such diversified history sometimes we are unite belligerently on chauvinistic and religious issues or some moments of celebrations like these festivals. But chronologically these moods of festival have been changed with respect to human sprit of celebration. Festivals have become the mode to target ‘Junta’ for money making on priority. There is a significant change happened in the modus operandi of organizing and carrying the festivals of these days. People used to drink liquor and other narcotic drugs which left them in pseudo-transcendental mood.

Indeed, the small community organizes their own Puja on such occasions and play musical bands with an unusual cacophony. And such strident and unwanted noise going to distract people always from such spiritual occasion of celebrations.

The mode of celebration has been politicized and contaminated with a mob-psychology where people gather just to mark there presence and hubris of pride that this time they have contributed from their side.

Ganesh Puja and Durga Puja where in the end of this festivals/puja; the statues of their idol have to be drowned in River or pond left some reasonable and hazardous environmental impact. I think, this has more discussion value rather than ‘Ram Sethu controversy points’ or any doomed subject discussion.

Although Ganesh Festival has been over and all Ganesh idols have sink in local ponds or adjoined Arabian Sea. But the concern over the integrity of such festivals in contemporary times where people are subjugated with fear of terror attacks on such occasion and leading the meaning of such festivals have been rises over the period of time. I’m not saying that we should not celebrate such festivals but society should take steps to prevent this cultural identity before it got wither away.

Question Our Faith!

Faith is a complex phenomenon, in fact one of the most complex concept for defending our actions by ourselves [Preferably ourselves or by a group]. Faith is a symbol for our trust; faith is a symbolic representation of things in which we believe. It is the founding concept for thinking and our presence in current social hierarchy. Most of the time it related with religion but conceptually it has to divide on the lines of social and political status of individual. Again, I am not trying to go against the neo liberalism theory but I think we need to look in existence of our faith. Because in recent times when we say that time and society is changing on very fast pace then why we need to look after some rudimentary social boundaries every time when a liberalist try to cross it. I am not defending wrong for sake of proving it right and I am invigilating a process of thinking which is imposed in the name or our culture. I remember three different incidents, which took place in recent times, which actually forces me to re-look my stance on my thinking over Indian faith. One of the incidents is MF Hussain’s (Famous Artist) painting of Bharat Mata. Another one was Baroda Univeristy case in which a student’s art work was destroyed by goons and gundas of the so called ‘Hindu Sevaks’ belong to right wing semi-political organizations, Bajarang Dal and RSS. Another incident was related to the ban of English channels in Maharashtra for almost 5 months for showing nudity on TV.

Complaint was filed by a conscious woman, who was arguing for keeping basic moral values in TV channels in front of court. Now all three incidents were pointing to one direction of forceful mobility of Indian Junta towards a labyrinth, which was founded on the basis of weak political architecture of Indian society. If we can influence people then we are the people who can be influenced by wrong forces inadvertently. There should a question on offence but not every incident needs to be look by every one. Baroda university student’s artwork was very private to his academic society but illegal and forceful intervention by ‘Gundas’ in such cases are very meaning less and subjected to legal case against school body and against people involved in such offence. The knowledge of anatomy of human body should not be questioned when it is in a very private sphere, also when it is subjected to art or a psychology which is protecting your interests in a shell of artwork. Today Hindi channels are showing more explicit content then English channels in terms of content. More nudity released on Hindi channels then English channels. I just want to say that eventual loss of freedom is unacceptable, selcouth and criminal in some way and we need to question on that.

Courtsey :- Outlook for Images

Story of an Old Camera: Disguise Of Present Time

Though I have misused it many times that’s why my Camera forgot me and left for an unfinished journey to find out his ideal or most suitable 'Mallik' ( Owner) exempted with fake glamour, owner with great human values and pride, owner who seeks his multi dimensional photo frame in creativity, owner of enthusiasm with an élan to capture the image of sun, owner who has courage to climb the mount Everest and use myself to capture the most joyous event of life; the victorious moment.

Usually he tried to talk to me about his needs, his attitude, his way of life in which he desire to capture the life in different frames but my greedy nature never allow me to think beyond my long lasting fulfillment of intoxicated desire with respect to common ground for enjoying human life. I forget him before the opera of white skinned nudity or I caught in the deepness of social sickness for my amorous appetite, I forgot his desire to discover a new passion of life, which leads generations to pinnacle of life and evolve them from the penchant of idealness, morality, deep rooted leadership and respect for all being, I forgot so I lost him at last. I live with him almost three years and he must have reminded me around thousand times to take care of his needs but I never thought about his need in due course of my fantasy for money, fantasy for sex and violence, remarkable hold of corruption in society and remains of great cultural identity and destruction of historical events marked in great Indian history. Media, my partner has lost his identity in dogmatic principle of capitalism and ideological flow of west. Creativity was his core strength to put a multi dimensional light on the bureaucracy of contemporary times, overflowing political corruptness and duality of current economic strength of nation like India.
Though I had used my Camera for manifestation of the sexual heterodoxy on ‘Page Three’ in some ‘Times of India…’ regularly to make my identity on the same plane but it was a complete lost of identity in fact a dogmatic lost of purpose for it was driven to hands of contemporary Media. I have created many school of negative thought like pornography, breaching of private life, political violence in the name of Religion and Race, criminalization, sexual atrocities, gender inequality and massacre of humanity and programme for purposeless publicity. Every flash of him reminded me of shivering naked truth situated before my eyes and nervousness hovering on my body is witnessing the existence of remaining ethical values in mankind but I was suffering from megalomania and became the victim of dilemma between crossovers of boundaries. I completely lost in another world that were fulfilling my fantasies. Subjectivity of naked truth in front of camera jolted me from inside but my eyes weakened to the state where I could not distinguished between thinking and doing of myself which were followed by a dilemma of pluralism of life and languished to a situation of amnesia. Every time I was using him for selfish purpose and yet again I was deceiving myself.
Was it a chronological stride towards postmodern era, which is pointing towards the selfish nature of social events and its pertaining organizers? Or it was an unscrupulous attempt of institutional power to keeping juvenile intellect to away from the main play ground of science and humanity.
I think it is undiscovered disguise of present time to fulfill our desire in order to find out new cultural identity that is indeed contaminated with the undesired elements which are having properties of exploiting science and humanity and up to some extant the autonomy and hegemony of static boundaries.
I have weakened the foundation of my own home with my own hands and become the victim of vengeance, which is regenerative and destructive in nature.
Parameters needed to conclude the event, which is representing the whole mechanizing world, which has a strong hold upon the daily life of mankind. Eventually it can be speculated to conclude that there is a need to discover the occult science with help of theses materialistic things to see the pervasive effect on human kind and to refrain from pathway, which leads to degeneration of human kind.
