TO KARAN ...FROM KARAN

DISCLAIMER:
THE FOLLOWING POST MAY BE A LITTLE LENGTHY.... DUH UHH... IT'S ABOUT KJO.....

The disclaimer ofcourse is for my all my friends (This time I'm sure all of them are smirking) who were well informed that my next blog is going to be about a man whose mention itself is enough to wake me from a slumber or to get me back to planet earth when I'm otherwise zoning (And that's often)

The man whose films, interviews, chat show, fashion shows, tweets etc etc I'm obsessed with and can guarantee to have watched, re-watched, read and re-read over and over again.... I read his latest tweet "If you want a stable relationship.... Get a horse" about 5 times.... I don't know why but I just did... I guess 'just' the OCD from my mothers OCD for Cleanliness has rubbed onto me and transpired into a OCD for KJo...

When did this obsession start...  On the 16th of October 98, when Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (Which I saw in Topiwala by the way) released? No that was just love... Love for the film and primarily for the Reel Love Legend of SRK-KAJOL (Which mesmerized me with DDLJ).... I was too young to understand then that the chemistry and electrifying performance of the duo was one of the 'major and foremost' reasons for the film's super success.... But with time I realized that the 'first and foremost' reason was the man at the helm of affairs and quite literally the helm of my current affairs- Karan Johar (And my blog ambassador would agree)... I really do believe that the neo-classic that we all lovingly call KKHH was a one man show (A line unarguably put by his father in the making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)

And that realization soon started turning into the obsession that I'm ranting about... It started when I first bought just the title song audio cassette of my most favorite film in the world (Hollywood can go take a Hike)... Do i need to say it? K3G..... A film which I have to this date watched a 112 times (6 times in the theatre)... And how I love Star Network for this... Not that I don't have the DVD... I have 2 of them... But still I do owe it to Star for making my Sundays so special...

I could probably write a whole blog about K3G... And my friends could vouch for it.... But more than that my mom can vouch for it... I know the screenplay and dialouges by heart.... I know the backhround music (Which makes me cry every Sunday).... It's crazy I could watch K3g on mute.... I actually narrated a huge chunk of the second half word to word with the background to my friends Nupur and Shix (Yep she's back again) when we were travelling from the latters house to the formers.

But above all the memories and Sunday cries... K3G gave me my dream.... My 70 mm dream.. Six of the biggest superstars in the same frame entrenched my belief that the movies was where I am meant to be...

So as my dreams were churning out,  my mom's were shattered... I mean with all those amazing grades in school and college (Wow I finally get a chance to blow my own trumpet) she was not wrong to believe ki uska beta doctor banega... engineer banega... Ambani banega (Tilting majorly towards Ambani by the way) All I could say to her or still say to her is ki tera beta Karan Johar banega...

So thus was born mom's grudge against Kjo... Just this morning when I told her or rather she guessed that my blog is about Kjo, she said... Had you taken Lord Ram's name as many times as you have taken Karan Johar's, the lord would have come down to earth and granted all your wishes till now... That's my mom.... Melodramatic... Just like me... And the Lord Ram bit is because she's spiritual junkie... She has only 2 loves... God... and Gucci (OCD for Bags as well).... Anyway mom stresses that Kjo owes her 5 lacs of rupees and nobody knows why.... But is the grudge actually a grudge? Uhhh I don't think so... Cause she's the first one to call me when he's on tv or in the papers (And by call I mean phone call or text message... And we live in a 1BHK appartment) She's the one who bought me 'THE MAGIC OF KARAN JOHAR' (A limited edition box comprising of the DVD's of KKHH, K3G, Kal Ho Na Ho and a dvd of the making and deleted scenes of the all his films which I have ofcourse watched a million times... Yeh bhi koi sochne ki baat hai)

So.... Moving on for mom and her shattered dreams, my love and admiration for Kjo begin to grow with the release of Kal Ho Na Ho... (Which I consider one of the best screenplays ever) With Koffee with Karan (All 3 seasons watched and re-watched and even visualized myself on it- both as a guest and as a host, considering they wouldnt have to change the name of the show).... I can even answer most of the rapid fire questions asked on the show) and with KANK... With Kank he opened a Pandora's Box and brought to life the defence lawyer in me who won every case when something bad about the film was said... And with the release of My Name is Khan he brought to life a fearless Mumbaikar in me (Everyone knows what I'm talking about)... Trust me that's the first and last time that happened...

It also grew with his appearance on Pooja Bedi's talk show, On Rendez-vous with Simi Garewal and even the apologetic India's most Desirable, With his show Lift Kara de, with his fashion shows, His Circuit gig and Ek Main aur Ekk tu dance on Bigg Boss and ofcourse with his Sheela ki Jawaani moves at the IIFA and will for sure continue to grow with SOTY and all his other endeavours.... The list is endless and so is the reverence

And before the blog starts seeming endless too I think I should probably stop now before the blog turns into a blogopic... But what do I do... "This post is all about loving Karan Johar"

Out of all my friends I'm sure T has been going on about how mad I am and blah blah blah... But it's ok.... I love T... I love T as much as I love Koffee...

(And that's not a spelling mistake... When it's about Kjo it's always Koffee with a K)
