The days of Kalidas are long gone...


The days of Kalidas are long gone; it was way back hundreds of thousands of years ago that you got noticed and rewarded with fortunes when you sat on a tree and cut the branch you were sitting on. With no offense to Kalidas but man!!! what was the guy thinking when he was doing that...anyways guess he realized that too and later turned intelligent and wrote the iconic "Abhigyan Shakuntalam".

The current generation is all about chasing their dreams(finding their own edit of Abhigyan shakuntalam at a much faster pace, and are quite happy with the folies that it has) and doing it the smart way. Either it is smart way or no way…is choice yours “Be Smart and Fly” or “Be Stupid and…”

Indian youth believes in fun and deviance but not at the risk of being stupid treading their path and they don’t need to be stupid to find their own stage. If I looked at all the jeans brands available around in India Flying Machine believes in this philosophy of being smart (read: yourself) rather being stupid (read: aping someone else). Spread your wings fly and don’t be too stupid as stupid is stupid however much you glorify it. Did some jeans brand still say Be stupid and go and pay them many thousands for what a damned pair of denims...my only question is not really to the brand but to the consumers...is it really worthwhile being stupid...I would say...don't be too stupid...
