Edwin Schlossberg said - "The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think". My aim here is to do exactly that: create a corner in the online world that forces one to re-think and question ideas that are treated as a given.

What is wrong with Kanpuriyas?

While the world is full of larger problems and important issues like the US elections, bomb blasts in Tel Aviv, Larry Ellison marching ahead with Oracle's hostile bid for Peoplesoft, ethnic riots in China, Vijay Singh breaking records on the PGA tour, India trying to save face in the last Cricket Test match against Australia on home ground.......

....the people of Kanpur apparently have nothing better to do than create chaos and disrupt the shooting of a new Hindi flick "Bunty Aur Babli" that was being shot in their city. Again I am making a gross generalization but its very amusing to read headlines such as these:

Bunty aur Babli creates chaos in Kanpur!
Abhishek, Rani escape mob frenzy in Kanpur
Kanpur shoot turns nightmare for Abhishek and Rani Mukherji

More than the movie stars Rani and Abhishek, I pity the poor director and producer. After reading through these articles it seems like that their shooting plans were scrapped for no real fault of theirs. In this time and age, people just getting berserk on seeing movie stars is crazy and plain stupid... C'mmon people these movie stars are also normal human beings, they have not fallen from the moon or something....Get on with your life!
