Munawar Faruqui

Munawar Faruqui      Disclaimer  As I am a fan of Munawar Faruqui this post might not entirely be unbiased (unlike his content) . I have been a fan of Munawar Faruqui ever since he dropped his first video on YouTube and with his newer videos the admiration for him increased 10 fold.  I love stand up comedy and spend hours watching videos on YouTube and I can write in stone that Munawar is like none other (no, I am not exaggerating ) .  Throughout the videos you are either laughing hard or having "ohho" moments (without him putting the editing effects ).  Recently I decided to Google him up to find out more about him . And I was shocked to read articles where he was called Hinduphobic , his jokes are misunderstood, just so much hate ( itne hate kyu troll - Bhai ?) . I didn't find  decent articles on him even on Quora ( I really think highly of Quora). So , I decided to write about him ,  if trolls can Invest their time an...

On The Path

 Leaving behind the warmth of the hills , the tenderness of the river  I walked into this ever buzzing city. The skies here too light up every single day but the stars are missing. The noise here is overwhelming, Crumpling the whispers of the wind. The birds here seem to have forgotten that they have magic in their voice or is it me who has forgotten to listen.  The travellers here seem so focused , So determined to reach the destination While I wonder aimlessly still looking for the right path Been here for quite sometime and the right path feels like a Mystery. Like a Myth. Amid the loud noise I heard a whisper from within ,soft but strong, "Roads are not found, Roads are made"

Reaction to CarryMinati's roast. Tiktok vs YouTube

Image
Recently my quora notifications are filled with requests on writing about my opinion about CarryMinati's roast on Tiktok . I am overwhelmed, people want to listen to my opinion. I mean it's  not like people just randomly send requests , par muhje toh celebrity wali feeling leni hai. Toh Chalo yaar , like others , hum bhi Carry ke naam par views lete hai. CarryMinati Before we get into the actual topic let us discuss a little about CarryMinati. I am not a fan of him but I admire the commitment to his work.  As we all know that CarryMinati is amongst the best roasters in the country. He definitely has worked his way up. He has always put in lot of effort in his videos. The thing I really like about CarryMinati is that he is not afraid to try different things. He did receive a lot of criticizism for the songs he made but that didn't stop him from making more. And I am extremely happy with his decision because he should try different fields of art to explore and l...

Tiktok vs YouTube

Image
If you are not living under a rock then you will know that currently the hot topic is Tiktok vs YouTube.  It all started with Elvis Yadav making a roast video on Tiktokers. This , however, was not received well by some Tiktokers and a reply was given to the YouTube roasting community by Amir siddique. He tagged various roasters in that video. Very naturally he was given a reply, not only by the creators who were tagged but also others . I have almost watched all the videos on this topic. There were replies which where extremely sensible while some where just crap. For example , my favorite, Lakshay bhaiyya in his reply called people "Chakka " and other such things. What was extremely annoying in this video was Lakshay's attempt at shayri and trying to at cool. Yaar lakshay it just added more " cringe" to the whole video. Par your videos are anyways "cringe " so chalta hai. Then there were replies by Saimansays , Dankrushu and others which w...

Entertainment industry and break ups

Image
So I have been scrolling through memes for quite some time now. What I realized is that most memes are made on break ups and how the girls are the villains in very story. Okay , I understand that you are hurt par yaar itne memes ek hi topics pe Kyu yaar. I was quite frustrated by this par yaar memes toh memes hoti hai   Recently I got interested in raps . So I started looking for some good raps . Par guess what , all I found was rappers narrating HOW MUCH they have struggled, dissing other rappers or bitching about the girl who left them. I am no longer interested in raps .  Like seriously yesterday I saw a video called  " Girlfriend" and it's the stupidest thing ever . In this rap this dude keeps on trash talking about how his girls just ran behind money, they are selfish and shit like that. And I decided I have to write about this . What really annoyed me is that he is a very famous personality with over 3 million subscribers on YouTube so h...

Famous YouTubers and their content !

YouTube is a source of entertainment for most of us. I guess most  middleclass Indians do not have Netflix...or  is it just me ?  Anyways , lets talk about the famous YouTubers and their content.  1 . Ashish chanchalani vines  Ashish is one of the biggest Indian YouTubers with around 17.4 million subscribers on YouTube and 5.4 million followers on Instagram. Ashish is loved by many, most of his videos hit millions. That means he must be making great content right ? ! Here's a twist....he makes crap content and people enjoy watching that crap. In the month of March of 2017, 2018, 2020 the channel has uploaded a video on exams. Smart move. Most of the students have their exams in the month of March so obviously the video will receive many views . The problem with all these videos is that all of them are basically the same.  Kids are shown cheating, there is a strict teacher, teacher that favours a particular kids, students procrastinati...
