a boring manifesto & some key characters


I dont know exactly know what we are doing, but i could tell you some things that we dont necessarily need to do
One. We dont take sides folks. Period.

And its because, thats how we have been for the last 5000 years.

Most of us in this part of the world dont believe in the concepts of absolute right or absolute wrong; only in the sense of a long Journey that has to be enjoyed as much as possible. Maybe, it is this very vague sense of ambivalence that makes India the only place in this world where any one can find absolute harmony even when they are surrounded by a billion contradictions.


Video Mahabharata loves and serves everything beautiful to the mind. It is about all the really good things in the new India - culture, creativity, entertainment, art & technology that makes living here an epic post modern drama.


Probably, the only thing we are terribly against is mediocrity. We don't take it very nicely becuase it tends to pulls down the average IQ and pretty much destroys all the fun of being around.

So, Lets just hope that its a long happy journey & that we get to write some poetry :)

***

For the sake of maintaining interest, here are a few key characters that could regularly create trouble:


The blind, tone deaf & stammering King :

He is the one man every one reports to. He could be you, me or your neighbor's kid.
Our primary responsibility is to give the poor chap what he deserves


 





Duryodhana & his one hundred brothers:

He is the one who molests good ideas for sadistic pleasures. 

He could be you, me or your neighbor's kid 
who says he can do advertising.

They are our symbolic anti heroes who hasnt yet, forget collaboration, even realized that being bad is not an original concept.












Masters of their craft, yet blinded by the hysteria of the masses.
They are not you, me or your neighbor's kid but established Brains in the society.
We hope to have a few of them telling us their views on important conflicts.
