It’s the age of “reality shows”. And Roadies…this is one show that can get me irritated in an instant. It runs on simple formula: Round up on a bunch of losers from different corners of the country who have their “life goal” to be a “Roadie”. I wonder what that even means. Is it like a new career trend that has come to existence? No, no Let me rephrase that simple formula yet again:
Step1. Round up on a bunch of losers who are
exceptionally good at swearing and fluent with all the cuss words that ever
existed.
Step 2. Give them
fancy bikes and make them go all over the country and make them do some tasks
that you never do in real life which is apparently designed to test ‘Kisme hain
kitna dum’.
Step3. Brutal vote out where everyone claims that
everyone backstabs them.
Step 4. Bring on Raghu- Rajiv “the bobble head twin
spinsters” who are very much capable of calling each other ugly.
Step5. Sandwich poor Ranvijay in between. And Note: Ranvijay is the “ultimate roadie”
turned “Abyssmal actor” in small budget Punjabi movies now a days.
Step6: Capture all
the fights, arguments, the “Haata-paayi” the “Roadies” seem to have on camera. The most
common key words you can hear over and over again other than desi Gaalis are:
Backstabing, Khunass,fake, loser, aukaad, low level, mind
games,planning/plotting, task, performer/non performer, immunity, vote out,
survival,twists….
Voila! : Your very own Roadies!
Some of my favourite sentences which are a cliché in
every episode are: “Tunne mereko backstab kiya”, “Sab game khel rahe hain”,
“Scroll aaya Scroll aaya”, “Jab hum task ke location par pahunche toh humne
dekha ki…”,” Mere mein energy level bilkul kum ho chukka thi”, “..because this
is roadies”, “Mujhe pakka vote out karenge”, “Hum apne bikes pe baithe..” …
Once you do win the title of Roadies, you get into
another reality show and manage to win one crore by sheer cheap gawar-giri you possess and
your desi charm. Or make a sex tape of yourself and flee the country.
And the very own producers of the show are bored of
making stupid shows with stupider youth who think our prime minister is “Rajiv
Gandhi”. Mind you this comes out of people staying in “saaddi Dilli”. Maybe
schools in Delhi should start planning out excursion trips around Delhi and show them
the parliament and other historical monuments. So that they atleast learn the
name of our President and Prime Minister. Oh! the shame... So after brutally testing their
patience with the low level IQ our generation
seem to possess, they announce that this season is going to be the last one
and its going to be “Faadu aur Dhamake daar”. I mean I understand, dealing with
weirdos who come over and say “Main apna 100% dunga” ‘aiwain’ can get tad bit
annoying and seems like our very own twin-u’s have the patience of Miss Dolly
Bindra who fly of their handle and belt the shit out of them and threaten them
with “Abbey Ghused doon ga”. One question to the producers: Why do you like stuffing things up
peoples ass? Do you like anal?
So people who actually take Roadies seriously what does
it take to be a Roadie?
-You should be able to do Back flips, Nanga-naach, Push
ups, and always be mentally prepared to get your ass whipped.
- You must know how to abuse and belt the shit out of a
fellow guy. The shorter temper you have the better chances of you to be selected.
- You can be an idiot and a total weirdo with a tattoo of
Aishwariya Rai on your belly.
What ever happened to that quiz show hosted by Derek O’
Brian on Sunday mornings? The youth of today think, it aint cool to read news
papers anymore or watch the news anymore. Even their “mom-dad” seem to give
them loads of cash which is spent on hooka, booze, smokes and condoms. And these creatures seem to love trash metal
or Honey Singh (Yo yo!), and comment on Roadies posts on Facebook religiously.
And mostly the comments go like this : “Hi frdzzzz..add me”, “Hi Riya. Aap
bahut khubsurat ho”, “Sadiyal”, “Eww..she is cheap”, “Maa ka l***a iski toh
main Maa Ch*****ga. Kitna feku hain saala”, “Hey grlzzz! Hot cock here. Add me.”
!!!
*Sigh!*
Also the next time you find that one person who follows
Roadies like a religion and buys a Roadies inner boxers and bedsheets and
thinks it cool, slap him hard. Real hard. And then ask him Raghu Ram style : “Abey
Ch****ye tera dimaag ghaas charne gaya hain? *Beep-Beep-Beeep-beep-Beeeep-beep*
And some more Beep!
And some more Beep!
