किस्मत, Algorithm और 25 Million Followers: रातों-रात स्टार बनने की कहानी!

I don't typically comment on such issues, and I guess this is my first time commenting on this platform. Somebody messaged me this post link, and I am here to express my views for them and for the followers as well.

Just think, have you ever read of any instance in history where somebody got this much publicity and fame so quickly? Not even Kejriwal. And anyways, Kejriwal was a well-qualified person, an IRS officer, an RTI activist, and someone who ran NGOs for years. But still, it took him almost a year, which was the quickest in history for a nobody to become somebody.

No guru, no leader in this entire world has this kind of following in such a short period, and that too without substance. They have nothing to say or offer and have done nothing so far, yet he broke the record. I mean, what do you think these guys have, especially Dipke? मतलब एक intelligent move, and destiny is like, after making them celebrities, जो कल तक बेरोज़गार थे, आज उनके 25M तलबगार हैं। सुना था, किस्मत मेहरबान तो गधा पहलवान... वरना एक बर्गर आपकी किस्मत पलट सकता है। और ऐसे कई मुहावरे हैं। संसदीय भाषा में बस यही ठीक लगा, बाकी आप सभी समझदार हैं।

The first word uttered by the CJI in his first remark was "Parasite", but they picked "Cockroach" from the second remark, which I can completely understand as a marketer because you can play around with "Cockroach", not "Parasite".

और बाकी खेल algorithm ने किस्मत के साथ कर दिया, और बचा-कुचा BJP ने opposition को कमजोर करने के लिए... एक और voice ले आए, as 25M is tiny against 1,500M.

और ये एक fact है जो ये Dipke मन ही मन जानते ही होंगे कि selectively चुनी गई कोई चीज़ शुरुआत में कुछ खास perform नहीं कर पाई, और लगभग 20 दिनों तक इसका कोई खास असर नहीं दिखा। After the lathi charge, it was a flop show, and the villain was the Delhi Police. And he was crying crocodile tears, lying on the street at Jantar Mantar without any lights, because Jantar Mantar was vacated and the stage was dismantled by the Delhi Police (as per media reports/CJP).

But जब किस्मत आपके साथ हो, तो सारी कायनात आपको आपकी मंज़िल से मिलाने की साज़िश में लग जाती है। Then the Delhi Police made one mistake: they left the stage abandoned. The next day, the story we all know unfolded. They became the stars without even being part of the war...

Though I don't support what the Delhi Police did, especially to innocent students/protesters, and I condemn those actions, such things happen more or less in any protest. But after that, the situation could have been reversed by the Delhi Police or the BJP. I don't know why, and I am really surprised that nobody asked this question: On whose orders did the Delhi Police abandon the stage?

There are two possibilities: either the BJP would have ordered the abandonment of Jantar Mantar, or we will have to assume that the Delhi Police is that foolish, which I doubt. And they couldn't find Dipke in all that. Maybe they assumed he was a tiny person who must have been hiding behind a bush, or maybe they were instructed not to arrest these guys. Otherwise, जिसने एक डंडा नहीं खाया, वो पूरा organisation चला रहा है। कैसे और क्यों? Ask yourself. I don't follow them...

मतलब, कलियुग में और आने वाले AI युग में बिना मेहनत भी कुछ होता है। ये Dipke के ज़रिए लोगों को पता चल गया। अब कोई आराम से अपनी किस्मत चमकने का इंतज़ार कर सकता है।

और अब मेरी समझ में आ गया कि ये motivational speakers अचानक गायब क्यों हुए हैं। Maybe they are thinking about creating a new set of content to make people fools, just as CJP or any political party does. क्योंकि भाई, वो persistence, consistency, hard work, education, skills, etc. की बात करके किस्मत बदलने और बेहतर करने की बात करते हैं। In fact, आपको किसी भी जगह से यही सीख मिलती है। लेकिन जब आप अपनी आँखों के सामने ये देखें कि आज तक आपने जो सीखा, वो सब गलत है... यहाँ तो Dipke, LinkedIn के entrepreneurs की तरह founder बन सकते हैं!

Now, BJP wanted to give them credit for this entire thing and demean the opposition. Now BJP has created some Tom, Dick and Harry who are followed by 25M. This is unbelievable.

Now, once they realised that their assessment was wrong, they also realised that once you give anybody a foothold, you can't take it back in the era of AI/digital. It's more like reservation: once given, it's for a lifetime.

इनका career तो set है, और इनके साथ कुछ और लोग भी हैं जो अभी इनसे closely जुड़े हैं, be it from YouTube media channels or among other creators.

Still, what about these 25M followers? I know there is dissent in our society, or in democracy for that matter, and there is opposition. There are more than 50–60% of people who don't like the present government, which is absolutely okay.

As humans, you would like to hear or listen to some conversations against your ideology. Or you might like these conversations to satisfy your inability/impotence, as you can't do things yourself, but you want somebody to do them for you, so you choose to follow this page.

But there is no dearth of such content where the BJP is criticised or brutally abused. There are unlimited videos.

तो इनको क्यों स्टार बना दिया? Let me correct that: इन्हें इनकी किस्मत ने बना दिया, आपने नहीं। वरना आप खुद बन जाते। पर किस्मत आपके हाथ में होती कहाँ है?

इसमें एक बात और जोड़ूँगा: जैसे किस्मत बनती है, वैसे ही इतिहास से गायब भी हो जाती है। आप इसे देख सकते हैं। उदाहरण के तौर पर, वो बर्गर वाला बंदा। Off late, I saw his video. I mean, what kind of double standard is this?

मतलब, Dipke कचौड़ी खाएँ तो ठीक, और बेचारे भूखे-प्यासे creator ने अपना वीडियो बनाते हुए एक बर्गर खा लिया, तो celebrity status मिलने से एक कदम चूक गया। और ये चार से तीन बन गए। क्यों? क्योंकि शायद किस्मत में इन्हीं तीनों का चमकना लिखा था, वरना बेचारे चारों 20 दिन तक लगे हुए थे...

सिर्फ एक बर्गर... एक बर्गर की कीमत तुम क्या जानो, followers!

कचौड़ी खाने से स्टार बन जाते हैं, और बर्गर खाने से बेकार?

On a serious note, full sympathy with Burger Man.

जल्दी ही ये लोग गायब होंगे, क्योंकि great power comes with great responsibility, and if power is not earned, then it will be lost quickly.

Reaching out to the unreached (an endeavor, a vow…)

Far from the madness of metro life, a child lies lifelessly on the floor of a public hospital distant from his village, hovering somewhere between the brutality of life and the sick, sad humor called democracy. A destitute mother is praying to the almighty; will he survive and fulfill his dreams?   This could be the story of any child in India who lives in villages, small towns, and remote areas of cities. Now the question arises: what went wrong, who was responsible for the same – the government, me, or you?   In India, there are approximately 600 million people with little or no access to healthcare. India has a private system where you pay out of pocket, which drives accountability, but a significant percentage of the population simply can’t afford it.   Currently, the doctor-patient ratio in India is 1:1,700; the World Health Organization stipulates a minimum ratio of 1:1,000. There are 387 medical colleges in the country, with 181 in the government and 20...
