Bluntness (An inspiration from Late Peter Roebuck)

Bluntness may not be crude, but it always sounds one. The theme that i particularly relate to bluntness is not about boldlessness or fearlessness. Neither do i associate something like innocence or arrogance with it. But bluntness is probbaly the epitome of rural, sufism and a will against the over reching urben wishes. It probbaly makes me feel to question the monoliths and establish orders. But so called Bluntness has find a new fashion and a trend which rather than fighting against the modernist and post modernist outcomes, dilutes itlself with the results.  Why does not a Janradan remains a Janradan in the movie 'Rockstar'. He becomes a 'Jordan'. Jordan does not has any thing to do with Jats of the Haryana and the brashness of a Hrayanvi Jatt. He resembles a conflict of the post modernist era. Where monoliths minds are aspiring for huge turn overs and profits. Where the wishes and wisdoms are a reflection of compromises. Compromises everywhere. Be it Art, Films and Media. Therefore a Rockstar never reminds us of a introspetion and retrospection. He instead make us desire to the elements of being a superstar. He reminds us to relate ourselves with the false conciousness of our past actions and outcomes. In ths whole context its hard to find people with some sort of sync with the real bluntness, which is true and which can make us think. I see few of the Marxist talking about in a manner that i see bluntness in the primitive man and the will to go back to villages as the correctness of wisdom. But in an era when mind resides in the consumerism and the heart resides in that mind, talkin of villages only garners something like a PPP(Public Private Partnership) Mode debate. Where water and land is questioned beacuse of their existence in a consumerist world. Where government are in sync with the market and they are shrinking.

In an era like this the concentration of so called wisdom is in the clutches of few whereas the so called insanity is spread over a large swath. But still here is the time to remain a Janardan, who doesn't look at a seemingly  white  girl. here is a time to be a man of few words and a boy of many words. lets become mad , mad over the questions that why do we have to be conditioned ? Why can't we challenge them, lets get an answer.

Lets terrorize the owner of Surpluses and lets tarnish their property and lets try to become Primitive.

For something like this i certainly get an inspiration from Late. Peter Roebucks pieces that use to come on Cricinfo website. He was a relentless critique of the 'Cricketing Monoliths' and the always 'sledging Australians'. he was the one who was the main reason behind the question over Ponting's captaincy after the 2008 sydney Fiasco. He was a man of  flow and rawness which put him beyond his contemporaries and today he is no more. i dig out my memories about Mr. Roebuck and this is what i came to my mind. Thanks friends.
