MGR, Illyaraj, SPB still blast !

First I thought to write a humorous, sarcastic article exaggerating habit of Tamil people to celebrate everything by putting loud songs on poorest possible quality speakers in whole colony whole day / week or month of the event.

But as I am writing this, I realized I am seriously angry on background score at 120dB & won't need to exaggerate anything. These brainless activity has taken its toll & needs to be punished by words in the way it deserves.

Be it a birthday of 6 month old, pre-post evenings of marriage where two sweating souls hardly care about love, or some ordinary pooja in a temple on 375 holy days of the year or just anything of any sort; the first sign we get is out loud horn speakers blasting poor Illyaraja at 5am. Same songs, same sequence, same speakers everything same same same again & again.... years by years.... Why there is such a desperate need to announce what monster your in-laws are getting from next day? I can't even say it is a racket by speaker shops as it is only one really poor & obviously deaf chap renting these instruments all these years.

Nobody asks Why so loud, nobody asks why, nobody seem to care to change the pattern... Please guys have some woofer & at least play latest hits ! May be we will stop going pubs & have party in our terrace.

I am against of not particular aspect of this activity like loudness or occasion, but in general this is brainless following & competition to neighbor's idea of “having songs” which he did last month when he got rid of his good for nothing fatty daughter happily.

I realized I am the only one in the proximity who gets bugged by this because all villagers have become virtually deaf, dumb & paralyzed in their brain (if any). After 7 hours of harrassment, if I ask somebody “Why the songs are playing” they strangely look at me & say,”which songs...There are no songs” !

This is dangerous as whole generation growing under shadow of this song is becoming like sheep & goats who are becoming increasingly deaf & dumb. The nerves in their ear will not notice these frequencies when they are adult & will tend to talk louder & louder because nothing is enough.

Sorry to target Tamilians but can't help guys, I am suffering all the time. I know slow poisoning of this or other kind happening everywhere; in Maharashtra, Delhi, Vaishno Devi...Even ladakh. By songs, by holy processions of god on road, by pollution & smoke, by rude behaviour & many ways. I wonder if any place is hospitable for a peaceful & free mind??? Will a independent spirit be able to cope up with horryfying increasing deafness & blindness everywhere?........ Will I?

I am afraid the answer is “I have to”. And the solution lies only on receiver's end & not the source by closing my windows tighter tighter, having walls thicker & thicker, eventually creating shield of silence, atmosphere, fragrances, & people we want & like.

Currently listening SPB's 72^nd song.... Hey lord, May there be 'Sense' introduced in south India OR May I have money to purchase Active sound cancellation headphones !!!
