Pappu Can't Dance Saala!!

“Jaane tu, ya Jaane na” has entered in my favorite movie list.
These days “Pappu Can’t..” is on my mind completely.
Fantastic beats with very cool lyrics..........

I was able to relate with movie due to Rajput family background too.
It reminded me of my grandfather who always used to say, ”Beta pit ke mat aana kabhi verna main bhi pitai karunga.”[Don’t ever come beaten, otherwise I will also beat you.]

The “Bagheera bhaiyya” and the “Bhalu bhaiyya” in the movie reminded me of some of the freaks in my joint family at karauli, where we too have a haveli.
Anyways I will discuss about it sometime later.

Right now, the only thing which has been bothering me for days is, “Why Pappu can’t dance?”In the song Pappu has been described as a multi-talented person and truly speaking I would die to be like Pappu, but then if he is so talented, why can’t he dance?He is rich and he could easily have afforded some dance lessons from some experts like Shaimak Davar.

I think he can dance but he doesn’t want to.
I put myself in his shoe and analyzed situation from all perspectives.

Finally I came up with following possible reasons:

1) FEAR 2 CeleBRatE

One main cause may be fear to celebrate, socialize and party.
For last few years, I have seen that how Pappu has been loosing that fighting and struggling spirit which he had earlier.

Pappu now has seen world and realized how cheap life is.

The serial blasts in the nation, specifically in the cosmopolitan cities( Jaipur/ Ahemdabad/ Bangalore/ Delhi) have left terror among all. The night life of the cities has been engulfed by the darkness of terror. People are afraid to gather and celebrate. They are afraid of outing.

Pappu is no exception. During college days when he was more irresponsible, careless and naughty, his parents never cared about him but now he daily receives call from them and his parents make it sure that he has reached home before 10 in evening. During college he engaged in many brawls but now he avoid argument even from “cycle-wala”.

He does not carry valuables these days for these reasons. He has lost the spark of life because of terror. Seeing so many innocents losing lives without any reason has put him in shock. Some of them were close friends and some of unknown but all were bind with the relation of humanity. He is not sure that the governments or the police now can save his or his dear one’s life.

The system which he chose, paid all taxes to and respected in all manners by giving gifts and bribes is still unhappy with him and thus doesn’t care about his life. He can’t put his life on stake and celebrate causing worries and trauma to his dear family who are far apart. So he has actually left going to any party and celebration and thus is not having opportunity to dance.

2)SORRY, The DanCE FLoOr IS RESERVED

You forgot that Pappu carries “Sharma”, not “Yadav” or “Gurjar”.

Today when even air and water is being reserved in the basis of castes, he is left far behind as he belongs to General category. I heard last time that Govt has reserved space in the all the happening places too, including malls, pubs, restaurants and Discotheques. He does not carry any surname which can provide him some more space and opportunity to move freely.

So whenever he goes to disc, he simply just move because he has only that much space. I am damn sure like other fields, he is much more skilled in the dance also but yes, he is not getting the chance.

Whenever he tries to show his dance moves, he get jerks and kicks from others if his leg or hand crosses other’s reserved space. People dance over his feet. Frustrated from all this, he once left dancing. I am afraid one day he may leave this world too if he doesn’t get any opportunity to live. Hopefully government won’t put reservation tag on it.

3)LOneR

Pappu has grown up now. Earlier he had friends to laugh, fun and celebrate each moment of life. Now in the race of life, when every one is getting busy in their lives, he is alone.

He also has to bear the load of other’s expectations, his doesn’t matter much. He must also dream of flats and property in metros. He must have six figure salary. He must have a beautiful girlfriend. So Pappu is quite busy in meeting deadlines.Earlier he might have hit his feet on the floor but now only his fingers hit the keyboards.

Earlier he forgot time while dancing at hostel terrace on the birthday parties of hostel mates and even on the worst noisy sound tracks, but now he feels lonely even in the most happening discos. He miss all those previous moments.He misses his freinds and thus has left going there now. It seems crazy to him now. He finally forgot to shake his leg.

4)CArBoN FoOtPriNTS

His sister tinny, brought some special shoes for him from USA 2 years ago.

Shoes had carbon sole. Last time when Pappu danced, he simply rocked the stage. But he listened some noise from environmentalists that he has left so much carbon footprints in the environment which has melted the icebergs in arctic regions and has brought hurricanes in US. Indian government unaffected by Kosi flood but yes affected deeply by the US hurricanes finally put a ban on Pappu’s dancing.

NO CONCLUSION

I am not sure why Pappu doesn’t dance or Can't dance, but if any of the above reason is true then its really sad. I would say that Pappu should celebrate each moment of life, no matter how cheap life has become. I would suggest him to fight back and remove all fears from his mind.

I would suggest him to follow his heart, follow his wishes and expectations before others. I would suggest he should remain in touch with his friends. Relations only fade when you allow them to.

And finally, just shake your leg no matter how ugly you do it :)

Guys, If You have found any other reason for this question, please do post it in comment!!

PAPPU CAN DANCE as we witnessed in the movie..its jus dat nobody had urged/challenged him to do it...

but the ppl screaming in dat song made him prove them wrong as we cud see the look on their faces when pappu started dancing..

As u have rightly said people don't mingle with others nowadays in this rat race n this makes ppl retire into their shells full with their energy n thoughts going inot latent stage...

bas ab bahut nahin nahin toh comments mein blog ban jayega :)

initial part of the blog made me confused...WTF u are worried about Pappu? hahaaa
end part...gave me answer that u r trying to describe a typical Indian life (all professions included)...
I can see too many grievances from your side...but they say...'Be the change u want to see in the world'...
so right now I can only hope that Pappu recovers soon from all kinda phobias and start shaking his ass ;)
