Yeah, yeah! it's a nationwide hit-twitter, facebook, newschannels, crap channels are lapping it up. Murderous rage- is a rage all over. Should we label it as the next cult? Is it the poster symbol of gen-x? It doesn't make sense, it has no radical notion in it and that makes it a killer hit!
But, is it 'Evergreen'? Will it make us "Romance life" as it was depicted by the "evergreen" hero on celluloid; will it instill that same effervescence in our breaths that those songs did; will it tug our hearts, strike a chord or two, make us go into rewind, put a smile on those lips that invariably start to hum that song (no matter how bad your vocals maybe!).
The answers may well be as expected in monosyllable! Then where does our craze for this KOLAVEDI lie? Is it the fact that we were bored of 'Chammakchallo' or is the the truth that we can't sustain anything for long? Maybe both, maybe all the sudden exclamation and reverence that buoyed upon the death of the STAR is also short lived. Shorter than 'GUIDE' maybe! Can the question be asked as to what was evergreen and what's not?- surely nothing environmentally concerned for all you know. The answer can't be put through words; it's left to our senses to be stirred, hustled and enamored;which is not happening till kolavedi's happening!!
It's in your drunk walk, it's in your boozed breath, it's in your blurred vision and it stays within you. It's your weird-ass craziness.
