Desi Mami and Mamas

I have come to the conclusion that the only time people go on the Internet is when they want to make nasty remarks. The other day I was watching CNN on the Presidential elections and the kind of messages they got on Twitter confirms that people use such applications only to vent their spleen anonymously. Recently I was sent a link to an Internet talk show called RUMBLE. I came across an interview with Sindhu Rajashekaran who had produced a film based on Ramanujan.

I watched the entire episode and found it to be one of the best interviews of a first time producer. For once here was an interviewer who was not a breathless fan in awe of film personalities and his breezy style was a huge relief from the usual ones where the guest is treated reverentially. It was informative and humourous. Because of the interview I actually saw the film at Satyam theatre when I visited Chennai.

Now let me come to the point of this blog. Below the interview on YouTube I was amazed to see some of the same kind of rot I mentioned earlier. It was written by someone who called himself Desi Mami. I wish Desi Mami would just crawl back into the hole that he slid out from.

Desi Mami is a Mama because he got so many things wrong. The host was neither insulting nor was he patronizing. I also dug into the background of RUMBLE and found that the show gives a leg up to interesting and articulate people about things they are doing. It is a pity it doesn’t get a larger viewership.

My advise to Desi Mami is to stick with Karan Thapar and Rajeev Masand. You deserve each other. As for you guys who are involved in RUMBLE just ignore cretins like Desi Mami and carry on the good work.
