Speechless

Thanks to PK for sending this.

All: I am not a huge fan of the modern Indian reality show, and dislike the faltu emotion they put in most of the times, but once in a while, a video comes along, which you just cannot say anything about.

Without further ado, I give you Kamlesh Patel from Baroda.



!respect!

  8. Guess I am the only one who is not impressed by the 'spirit' of this person or video. I mean, he only danced, and a pretty average dance i wud say...which becomes above average or great or extra-ordinary (choose ur word) ONLY when u consider that he has no working legs.

    I know I am crossing some political-correctness boundaries here but here are my issues:

    1. Aren't we discriminating (in a reverse way) by praising him more than his 'dance' is worth, along the way suggesting that it's a rare feat, a feat worth putting up on a pedestal, worth awe but not worth easy, normal acceptance? (The reactions of the lady judge - incredulity, slight disgust(?), and awe summed it all.)

    2. How, may i ask, being paralyzed waist-down stops one from dancing? That too, when one is dancing through his hands only? And even if this guy achieved that, dancing good with hand-balance, does that say a lot about that person's 'spirit'? Spirit, a word we cud use for Gandhi or Ambedkar, is getting short-sold at TV shows! (That senti music killed me.)

    3. Nothing against people with physical disabilities, or with great physical features (whatever be the case), but i can't resist adding that this dance qualified well for the categories titled weird, shocking, and tasteless. (Again, just to clarify, i have felt the same for many many dance performances on TV shows, performed by apparently full-limbed dancers of great repute...so, nothing for or against this guy's physical distinctness.)
