RIP Ishmeet.
Ishmeet is dead..I am sure most of us have heard him or at least heard of him. The popular singer from a reality show Ishmeet was the winnerof VOI. And a winner he is-even in death. Millions of fans all over are mourning his untimely death. I never could comprehend the meaning of untimely death. The time of death for everyone is pre-ordained say all scriptures. Then how can it be untimely??I am digressing..Back to Ishmeet. Politicians are not losing this great opportunity. Unfortunately that’s what this is. Mourning the great tragedy. Somewhere in all the brouhaha the innocent boy is lost. As I pen this there are loads of people thronging his house and mourning Ishmeet. Politicians, top notch officials are all there to pay last respects .He is being awarded a state funeral. Pray tell me for what? Winning a reality show? Putting his state on the world map-give me a break. I know his fans will rip me but I am sorry to say that this is totally uncalled for. People are milching the opportunity for their own personal vexed interests.We are really sad about his death and pray for his soul.But please lets keep this dhakosla of granting him state funeral aside..
i agree with u..but this isnt new..media grabs any opportunity that raises TRP...and politicians benefit from this.hopefully media will become sensible one day and things will change...
ReplyDeletei didnt hear ishmeet much when the show was around..but he seems to be really good. its sad whatever happened
I haven't seen Ishmeet on TV more than once. But I know people are sufficiently upset at his untimely death because he had endeared himself to his audience. The attention-seeking politicians and sensationalists aside, what has saddened people is not so much the death of a star singer, but the death of a young successful boy who had the potential to make it big one day.
ReplyDelete@nikki thanx..aate rahitega apna hee ghar hain :-)
ReplyDelete@d..His death is a big blow to his family ,friends and fans..its really sad but a state funeral is what has baffled me..come on koi to criteria hota hoga state funeral ka??
Yeah, a state funeral may be going a tad too far but since our state knows so little of what else they can do, a funeral is all they can come up with!
ReplyDeleteHuh, a state funeral for Ishmeet? I didn't know! Yes, he was good and was the winner in the reality show. Even at that time, lots of people thought, including me, Harshit should have won. Anyway, the media hype has made him an icon, unnecessarily.
ReplyDeleteGod bless his soul and give his parents patience, to bear the media intruding into their lives.
