221. What is vulgar?
Ans: Vulgarity does not
exist except in the mind because anything and everything is there for a
predetermined purpose. The way one chooses to look and think and feel about it
is what which differs. The mode of presentation of anything to a receiver is
actually what programmes him to feel in a certain way. A woman’s body is the
same. If it’s back-lit it’s called erotica, and if it’s front-lit it’s called
porn. If you are seeking intense gratification you would want to see hard core
front lit sex and mere erotica won’t suffice it. I remember that in my teens
reading a porn magazine with provocative titles and bad paper and bad grammar
used to arouse me. I don’t think reading it in a hard bound well-written smart
and profound looking books will serve the same purpose.
A feeling can be neither
vulgar nor aesthetic. A feeling is a feeling.
222. Do you think you can
ever take the idea of Daud and make it work again?
Ans: Yes, because ideas are
never wrong. Only their implementation and execution can be.
223. I think Shimit Amin is
brilliant and he won’t take up a project like Gayab.
Ans: This only tells how
brilliant you are. If you read my article once again you will realize that I
was not talking about Shimit’s or anybody else’s brilliance but only about how
non-brilliant I am.
224. I think you just got
hurt with the failures of your recent films and you wrote that article
“Everybody is a nobody”.
Ans: I said what I wanted to
say and you can think whatever makes you happy. Like the philosopher Nietzsche
said “There are no facts, only interpretations”.
225. What is or who is
shameless?
Ans: Nothing and nobody… as
shamefulness is something which comes out of a social programming. If you have
the wisdom and the understanding to see through the programming you won’t feel
ashamed ever.
226. Apart from that quote
about Khalid, you said so many other nasty things about Aamir. What about that?
Ans: I already said in my
post, I wanted to state everything here as I can be sure that it will correctly
come out. I can’t really know what all might have been printed, if it was
misquoted or quoted out of context.
If you still have doubts
about me then let me say this that Aamir is a super fantastic gem of a guy and
I am a selfish untrustworthy good for nothing guy. Fine? Happy? Smile now.
227. This Ilayaraja’s way of
working will not work.
Ans: Got the point loud and
clear. Thanks Sanjay.
228. How did you learn so
much English?
Ans: You don’t have schools
where you come from?
229. Truth lies always
between…
Ans: It always does.
230. This excuse of making
films only to enjoy the process sounds irresponsible.
Ans: You got me wrong. I am
not making an excuse, I am saying that it is the only choice any filmmaker has
whether he realizes it or not. Every one of the makers of the 120 or so films
made in Bollywood every year think that they are making a film which will be a
big hit. No one in the right mind will go ahead and make a film aiming it to be
an average or a flop film. 95% of them will not reach their intended objective.
When the audience sees the final film they imagine it has been done with
carelessness and a non-thinking attitude but that would never be the case. A
viewer is spending a couple of hours and around Rs.100- to buy a ticket. A
maker is spending a year or more and crores of Rupees. He would never be
irresponsible because he has much much more to loose than the viewer. It
happens because it is an extremely difficult thing to match the mind-state of
the Director, where he started from and the mind-state of the viewer when he
enters the theater It is too complex and too long drawn out for me to explain
here.
