Today's SBS baba segment caused some movement in my mind. Basically Baba was missing his favourites like Dr Armaan, and Samrat and he was musing that soon he would once again see Karan at least in a reality show BUT that it isn't the same, for what he was missing were those hatke expressions of Dr Armaan and though they belong to Karan, a reality show wouldn't give him the parameters to exhibit those expressions, actions, be it cute, romantic, funny or indignation.
I never really thought of it this way, though I have never been fond of reality shows, the thought of seeing my favourites whom I am missing dearly seemed to be enough. However now I realize that Baba is right, it won't be the same.
I understand that good shows are hard to come by that MJHT was special BUT somehow this thought saddens me slightly. I guess I have always been more about the art than the artist, though as once someone stated, in seeking to understand art, we are in fact seeking to understand the artist. The popularity of reality shows seems to prove this to some degree.
I am in two minds, or stuck in a spaghetti junction of synaptic impulses (or as they say you are
not stuck in a traffic jam you ARE the traffic jam!) what do I seek more at this juncture? A LONG wait for another MJHT and those januable, monkey/sadu expressions that I have missed OR instant gratification even if it is diluted. Hmm...I guess beggars can't be choosers, that is not to say that I have ever felt poor in my endearment for in truth it has only ever enriched my heart. I guess, I must not just accept
reality but seek to embrace it somehow, well the endearing parts.
With much love, Sabah
