i would like to apologise in advance to all the indians if they are offended by my post, but its not about them. Just a wakeup call to all pakis.
so it hit me today that none of my friends listen to paki music except those paki artists who have gone off to india for publicity. Y is it that our own paki ppl dunno bout their paki music unless n until it has been released in an indian film! i feel very angry at the fact that all our artists have to leave pakistan n go to india for publicity. There is no music, forget music no media industry in pakistan. If you take a survey n ask all the paki ppl wat channels do they watch i m sure more than half would be watchin starplus... (i dun watch paki nor indian channels, n i'll justify myself later)
my friend oneday was listenin to my mp3 player and asked me in a shocked voice "wat is this? who are all these ppl? Junaid Jamshed , Hadiqa Kiani etc wat kinda songs do u listen to rabia?" i was very frustrated by the remark n replied "well unlike u atleast i m not ignorant about my country! I dun wanna slave my ears to those senseless indian junk" pakistan has lots of gr8 music the problem is no one knows bout it, thats cuz all the paki ppl are brainwashed by the indian channels. i agree that everyone listens to english music since that is the international language, but other than that ppl do listen to music of their own language.
i dun understand y? y do they watch it? i mean if compare the 2, the stories are almost the same, a woman who is married or is gonna get married n is having problems with life. the only thing is indians are more dramatic than pakis actors m actresses, maybe thats wat attracts the paki girls. then for guys, well there are indian stations here that promote indian music unlike pakistanis, then movies, yup most of the singles that are released by bands or famous artists are promoted by movies. unforunately, i have never even heard of paki film in my life except for maulajutt (old punjabi movie) which my bro coincidently found on net n downloaded it. We then sat watched n laughed at the poor direction n funny story n charectors n mostly cuz they screamed so loud! but even if u compare it with the movies made i can assure u that u will see no difference, y? film quality bad as before, u can see the slight white noise on the screen n scratches. i doubt the fact that cinemas play the dvd versions since i know that they dun even make one. then the sound, very sharp n unclear like an old radio. direction n storyline is poor, ugly ppl, women that need to go on a diet are put on screen as heroines, dancing is more like mad ppl runnin round the garden, further more, y do the director's allow stuff thats not even part of our culture etc. n The main thing, the music suks, the quality is just soo bad that its as if the song is being played from an old cassette.
so basically the media industry in pakistan is stil the same where it probably 20 years ago. n Y is that? well this could be taken as a main national issue in pakistan which is education. yes ppl have idea as to wat is wat, they have no exposure. most of them are very close minded n half of them are posers who try to act cool, wen they are actually braindead. no one appreciates n knows a true sense about anything. their lives sound like a joke, there are no universities that could provide anythin in media or music. Girls love to be doctors and guys love to be engineers thats the basic thing that is stuck in all the south asian parents. And those who do go abroad to study dont want to come back, y, well thats pretty obvious better pay, safety, n better place for settle in with more educated ppl. So y would a person sacrifice his perfect life just to make effort that would just go futile. i wouldn't, i cant say i m patriotic enough.
All this problems could be solved with better strategic plans applied that could minimize these problems over a period of time. But wat can i say, i read it somewhere on net that pakistan maybe smaller than india but it is more corrupted than it and to begin with it u can take our goverment for example. its filled up with selfish money absorbing politicians, all of them with corrupted minds, deceived by soo many of them that the ppl dun even know who to trust anymore. This is our goverment. This is Pakistan.
In the end, music is just one problem that could be used to show pakistan's development. like my friend Sabiha says "Hindi ho ya Urdu, do no aik hi jaisay to phir kya farak padh ta hai?"
"Who cares if its Hindi or Urdu, they are both similar n we can understand it. wat difference does it make?" again i say...
ignorance
