A few days back i was strolling in my locality when I saw a very strange billboard , ill quote
"STAR MAKER ACADEMY - NURTURING UPCOMING ARTISTS IN THE FIELD OF SINGING , DANCING AND DRAMA . A PLACE TO PREPARE YOU FOR ALL THE BIG TELEVISION SHOWS."
Stupid is what came to my mind at first.How over the board are such parents who enroll their wards in such an institution , how hungry for fame and quick earning are such parents who coerce their children into such a life of uncertainty and eventual failure.
Indian media has once again exhibited how vehemently it affects the feeble mind of the Indian masses to which it caters.If IITs and AIIMS were not big enough issues for an average kid to worry about now the added expectations of unleashing the melodious singer or awesome dancer or an actor within yourself is another feat one is expected to achieve.
Though I would like to appreciate the quick thinking and the well-groomed business mind which conceived the idea of such an "ACADEMY" .
Anyways we Indians will never have the foresight of seeing past trivial goals and will continue to push our young-ones into the fire of competition , scaring their minds forever with failure and guilt.I pity the short-sightedness of such parents and the doomed future of such kids .Anyways MERA BHARAT MAHAAN. JAI HIND
