Childish Acts....

We Indians always tend to exaggerate things - especially when it comes to public figures. I agree with the explanation that we hardly have any successful figures compared to our population but we celebrate them more than their worth. The people in question think they are flawless and I stop admiring them. Am I prejudiced? I don't know, but my list of such people is only growing - M S Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh(he's being made a hero for behaving badly!!!), SRK and the latest, Darsheel of Tare Zameen Par. Darsheel acted well for a starter but in no way deserved the best actor award that he claimed. He overacted at times in the movie and that I can pardon but not his real life overacting. Our own Master Manjunath I think was much better an actor with a lot of subtle expressions for a child. I hate children who act over smart and today they seem to be everywhere.

Actually all this makes me admire our low profile heroes all the more - Kumble, Shrinath, Dravid....they are so dignified and elegant! But melodrama rules this place!!
