Aaja Nachle

Those who criticize the wording of a song in which MOCHI word has been used against SUNAR
,it appears have empty tops. This is not a derogatory expression and nothing to do with good or bad. It is simply a matter of precision which the writer had compared. A mochi strikes nails and repairs shoes do his work with heavy hand on leather on the anvil while a SUNAR has to do work with pricize tools and work on Metals including Gold to make ornaments.
This all hue and cry is nothing but a cheap publicity stunt.

Ok I am empty tops. There you go buddy!!

Now let me tell you which has happened to me. The guy did not knew that I belong to BC and he is talking about some other couple, where to make his point he says wife is beautiful and the husband looks BC.

Now you tell me is there anything wrong in calling me BC. NO. But obviously some of your friends don't think so. To them it is a word which can be used in derogatory sense.

The point made someone here is that someone is trying to say "Hey mochi, stay in your caste and don't try to become sunar", implicitly saying sunar is better then mochi. I would not have any qualms if you call a mochi, mochi but to say that in sneering and almost insidious way is what we are talking about.

Rest said we are all just freakin human beings. Its the religion caste color money that has divided us, and whether it is mayawati or modi, sonia or lalu, bush or bin laden, we are just playing in their games. Ultimately we the people are going to be losers not them. Do you want to play in their hands? The help is joining the nation and not dividing.
