Barjatyas Youtube Channel is meat heavy


Sooraj Barjatya who was famous or infamous for his portrayal of upper caste vegetarian North Indian households such as in Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aap Ke Hain Kaun has a channel on YouTube called Get Curried which is actually pretty good. It boasts of great production values , good hosts who communicate well and alluring recipes. All wonderful. What I find amusing and hypocritical though is that Barjatya is a guy who doesnt even allow meat dishes on his set so much that when Abhishek Bacchan got tired of the veg fare and distributed chicken to his unit, Barjatya didnt speak to AB for days.

Now this veg fanatic has seen the writing on YouTube' algorithm wall where butter chicken ,chicken tikka masala,biryani and kababs are on high demand and simply sold out his principles to cash in.  Every other dish in Get Curried involves meat. I remember him reading a interview with him by a fawning reviewer about how he avoids the hero drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or eat meat. At this rate at which he going I suppose the Barjatyas may be on board to produce Sacred Games 3 with even nudity, cussing, violence and drug abuse.

I dont mind people eating or drinking what they please or promoting their tastes but it is this type of shameless hypocrisy that really aggravates me.

    I asked you something re: making a few YouTube videos on the issue of climate. Although I prefer remaining anonymous, I am willing to trade it if I can get a wider audience.

    As it stands today, the only language I know well is Tamil. Is it possible to reach a wider audience if I use English or do I need to speak Hindi (because my Hindi is at the elementary level)?

    What do you have to offer on the subject that is factual, interesting ,entertaining and original?
    It does not matter if you are pro of anti climate change (I lean towards "anti")

    What is the audience for this subject in Tamil. I cant imagine its high but if you can create an audience as its passion project then why not? Perhaps start off in Tamil with captions in English and as it gains momentum make it English and Hindi.

      I am very anti-climate change propaganda because I have seen evidence to the contrary with my own eyes. No Arctic ice melting, no global temperatures rising, no sea levels rising, no polar bear extinction, no glaciers melting, nothing.

      No one in Tamil is interested in this matter, sadly. They are more interested in other things, so I think I may have to stick to English.

      Let us see.

Circumstantial evidence of Chandragupta Maurya's victory over the Macedonians

Regrettably no account of Chandragupta Maurya's campaigns against Seleukus Nicator survive ala Caesar's Commentaries on his decade long wars against the Gauls. So this gives agenda driven Western historians a further face saving measure about the ultimately pitiful and fruitless Greek adventure in India. Firstly historians neglect to mention that Alexander's rival Porus was not even a proper king with an empire but just happened to be a glorified chief of a frontier republic who only took on the Macedonian warlord because he alone in that area had the traditional four division army. And Alexander very nearly lost even this engagement. Now there are Indian nationalist historians who see his disengagement from India as a strategic retreat and some go as far as to claim that he was defeated by Porus but I am inclined to give Alexander benefit of the doubt. Bactria and Persia were the verge of rebellion and Porus was apparently pacified so Alexander saw fit to deal wit...

Ajit Vadakayil: What is he?

 I had promised one of my commenters truthsayer that I would do another write up on Ajit Vadakayil on occasion of his arrest for libel of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan. Work matters however prevented me from concentrating on my blog and while I could whip up something about our dear captain, it didn't feel right. Skewering and fisking other bloggers ,especially easy target such as Layla Anwar and Ajit Vadakayil just seems like cheating if I don't post other content rich posts. It is like reaching for dessert without finishing my broccoli. Feels like instant gratification -a symptom of indiscipline. So I first bit the bullet and finished two essays which to my mind are always a work in progress so forgive me on that regard. So on to Capt Vadakayil What was most interesting to us is that the Captain was arrested in Manipal NOT his beloved Kerala, lands of gods,kings, sages with 12 strand DNA ,land of incomparable beauty and so on.  Now indeed Kerala is nice but I am told Manipa...
