AMBITIOUSNESS HANGED

Bombay faddishly called ‘Sapno ki Nagri’ is treated as a land where young and budding theatre paramours coming from small towns and villages, fight the daily odds of survival, trying to perceive minuscule seconds of their life to play out their favourite character mimicking them and finding a sense of joy amidst their fight for their materialistic imperishability. The crestfallen news of the spasmodic death of the upcoming actor Sushant Singh Rajput who was known for his anthropocentric perspective and kindness has sent down a screeching reality check on how fame and opulence don’t guarantee a life destined for ecstasy. This disconsolate incident has sent across a shrill in the hearts and minds of those individuals and the families of such people who are trying each day of their lives to embark on this path of success and glory which might now display the darker hues of this glamorous manufactory. This garroting incident is bound to clamp down on the ambitions of millions of dreamers who skedaddle their way through the cosmopolitan hustle to carry out their artistic endeavours. The arduously inevitable journey to prominence undertaken by millions each year will now be treading with a signpost of trepidation which will further create a crevice and widen the already existing gap between the people and their professional causatum. Above all what this incident truly marks gyrates around the fact that grandiosity and pompousness are not indicators of life blissfully experienced, rather every person after accomplishing what she or he desires climactically falls back into a subconscious chest of emptiness and a never-ending surge for more. The deceased actor was a patron of scientific beauty and has left a void incapable of being buttressed by feigned sympathy and petty remarks that have been circulating in the social media circle which leaves an imperceivable blot on humanity.
