When Naatu Naatu song won the Oscar in 2023, many dismissed it as gibberish, with a whole lot of “cinephiles” expressing outrage.

The song actually references rural life in Telugu land that often gets lost in translation. I mean the Hindi version was Naacho, Naacho( Dance, Dance) that makes no sense really.

This post looks at those references.

[Lone Wolf Ratnakar @SadaaShree]

Naatu Naatu is not some gibberish, every word in the song reflects life in rural Andhra, Telangana, the sights and sounds there. is not noise, that is how celebrations are in any rural Jatara.

It is a song that is a celebration of rural life, right from the lyrics to the energetic beats. It's a song that goes right down to the roots.

Arranged marriages work.
Love marriages work.
All kinds of marriages work.

Yes, Siya Goyal happened and yes, Twisha Sharma happened. But you don’t realize how numerous we are.

For every dead Ketan Agarwal, there’s a gazillion alive-and-happy husbands with a non-filmy but beyond fulfilling marriage.

For every dead Twisha Sharma, there’s a gazillion alive-and-happy wives whose husbands love them to the proverbial moon and back.

Don’t let incels of either side delude you with the picture of doom and gloom. Romance is not a finite resource.

Let there be MGTOWs, let there be cat ladies, let there be DINKS, SINKS, whatever...but do know that marriage is a wonderful institution. Family is a gift. And the world isn’t dying.

In the early 1700s, a tiny, cash-strapped theological school called the Collegiate School of Connecticut was on the verge of financial collapse. It desperately needed money to construct its very 1st permanent building in New Haven.

The school's trustees reached out to a wealthy London merchant named Elihu Yale. Yale had spent nearly 30 yrs working for the East India Company at Fort St. George in Madras (now Chennai) looting India & eventually rising to become the Governor-President of the settlement.

While in India, Elihu Yale amassed an immense personal fortune through private trading: specifically in Golconda diamonds, high-grade textiles & spices & by participating in the Indian Ocean slave trade. He was eventually ousted from his post by the East India Company for rampant illegal profiteering & corruption.

In 1718, responding to the school's plea for help, Elihu Yale sent a massive cargo shipment from London to Boston. The shipment did not contain cash. It contained:

- 9 large bundles of exotic Indian textiles (including fine muslins, calicos & silks from Madras).
- 417 books.
- A portrait of King George I.

The school sold the Indian textiles & goods in Boston for the staggering sum of £800, which at the time, was enough money to completely fund the construction of their brand-new wooden college building. In pure gratitude for this South Asian windfall, the trustees officially renamed the entire institution Yale College.

Yale University would literally not exist w/o India. Its very name, its 1st major building & its foundational survival were directly paid for by wealth extracted from India.

Only in India can a Babu name a city New Okhla Industrial Development Authority (Noida) and a colony Safdarjung Development Area (SDA), because in their world everything is perpetually ‘under development,’ never quite done.

And then an upscale builder steps in with Windsor Court, Hamilton Court, Hyde Park, Queen’s Court, as if a few borrowed names from England might airlift us straight into first-world living.

Then we ask why we Indians carry a curious split personality.

One foot stuck in files marked *pending*, the other wandering through imported dreams with not a single street garbage-free or a decent pavement between the two.

जैसे जैसे नए वाहन खरीदे जाते, लोग स्वतः ही एथनाल मिश्रित ईंधन खरीदने लगते। आपका लक्ष्य तो ठीक है, किन्तु वहां तक पहुंचने का मार्ग ठीक नहीं।

[Not that Doc🇮🇳 @ad_k03]

अब टेक्निकल बात का क्या कहें। भारत में कितने वाहन फ्लेक्स फ्यूल से चलने वाले हैं, ये बताइए भाजपा आइ टी सेल वालों। अत्यधिक एथनाल मिश्रण से जो वाहनों को नुकसान हो रहा है,उसकी भरपाई 100% एथनाल पी लेने से हो जायेगा? आप दोनों तरह के ईंधन का विकल्प दे सकते थे, E0 महंगा, E20 थोड़ा सस्ता

When the syllabus is ‘Science’ but you only studied ‘Comedy’

To @INCKerala, “Greed” is @nitin_gadkari ji wanting to stop the ₹22 Lakh Cr drain on foreign oil to fill the pockets of Indian farmers. While you mock a technical term like E100 (100% Ethanol), our farmers are ready to become Energy Providers.

The entire nation knows that you’d rather see India dependent on imports than see our sugarcane & grain farmers prosper.

Technical knowledge: 0.

Vision for India: 0.

Maybe read up on Flex-Fuel Vehicles before your next joke fails as hard as your logic!

@Memeswalaladka I don't think it's even prioritizing Indian Cinema. It is purely profit related. Dhurandhar is a phenomenon at the moment. And everyone is cashing it.
