Dearest
Chinmayi,
Let me introduce myself first... I
am a Doctor working in UK currently, mother of a 10 year old boy, daughter of a
widowed mom and belong to scheduled caste. Life has never been fair but I am
handling it the best I can, in raising my kid. I have been a fan of your
talents for ages. I think I followed you since you participated in the talent
show in Sun TV. I have the utmost respect for you and your mom & I have
enjoyed all your songs, your performances, your blog, articles about you as an
young entrepreneur, and of course the infamous twitter....
I am one among the many, who came to
twitter to meet people with like mind & sharp tongue & to hear the thought
that reverberates from civilians with great creative minds belonging to
different walks of life. I was thrilled and got sucked into it. It opened up multiple
windows into people’s world. I have met great people, not so great people in
this journey and I have made really good friends. We do have our difference of
opinions but Twitter felt like college. You fight, you make up, you are pulled
down, you laugh, you are surprised and you are ragged so on and so forth.
In the past one year, your
conversations have stirred so much of conflict, which rather reflects your
basic understanding of life and your opinion about the political problems that we
face. End of the day, everyone is entitled to make and have their own opinions.
As far as one’s opinion and expression is not vindictive and abrasive, one can
get away with everything...
And now your name is all over the
media for the past couple of weeks which has plastered & portrayed that Chinmayi
is a poor victim of sexual harassment from these social sites and she is been
showered with verbal abuse, derogatory comments and that your life has been
endangered. For people who are not acquainted to the social media like twitter
and face book, they would be just flabbergasted with these news. Since there
are a few who have followed all the conversations that has flown back and forth
between you and the rest of the others, you cannot really stand up and say that
you are just a victim here!!! So, Please sell your story elsewhere!!!
Are you really just a victim???
Where have your tweets disappeared? All the way through, you have said
inappropriate retorts against the fisherman, people belonging to my caste but
you have weaselled out big style and just deleted your tweets!!! But girl, if
you are so filled with righteousness, why this conniving scheme??? You have
retorted for every single tweet that came your way!! I was kinda proud of you,
as you at least had the guts to stand up to what you thought was right!! But I don’t
know why you had to go and delete every single one of your tweets that caused such
angst and belligerence amongst people. Is it because people would get the real true
picture of what actually happened, if you had had left your tweets??
Being a woman, we are under constant
scrutiny all through our life. And being in a massive field like movie industry,
which is constantly under public surveillance, does put people like you under
constant pressure. I totally get that and I appreciate your effort. I know that
you are not answerable to me, but to a society which you are feeding false
information to. NOT everything you have told them is true now, is it??
I have known the twitter handles you
have quoted to the police for the past 3 years now. Neither me nor the other so
many woman who are on twitter, have had any trouble with the guys you have
quoted. There have been plenty of arguments, which are meant arise when there
is difference of opinions. But nothing crass, nothing boorish from anyone of
these men. And top of that, you probably have the most people in the ignore
list in twitter anyways and probably more ignored compared to your followers.
I have personally known @rajanleaks
for the past 2 years and he is a really sharp witted humble person, a
responsible adult, a loving husband & very devoted father of baby girl, who
has risen to this position through sheer hard work and no family to support him.
He has fought all through his life and all he had to share to this world was
his quirky sense of humour. I can vouch for him and so can many other friends (which
include woman, FYI)!!! I have similar stance on all the twitter handles like
@senthlchn @vivaji and many others you have shared as well. All these people
are simple civilians!!!
The only reason your paths collided was your insensitive tweets
regarding Tamilnadu fishermen who were killed right left and central for no
fault of theirs and similar such retorts about other issues related to caste
etc. Probably your tweet meant that way, because you didn’t quite understand
the gravity of the situation. I don’t blame you, because this is beyond you and
not every civilian is been informed about this injustice. For some reason, our
so called sincere ingenuous media have never really brought forward these
sensitive issues to eyes of our society and they just make sure that all their
heads are filled with junk news and incorrigible soaps.
Now, You and everyone in twitter know that this
conflict happened a year ago. You have a better social stance and financial
stature than all these people put together. If this issue has really put you
through so much of misery, Why act now?? Why didn’t you bring this forward when
it was all fresh and hot? What is the ulterior motive behind this?? You have
used angry, hostile remarks against all these people; there has been
threatening phone calls from your side to these people. Yet you are the victim
here.... It doesn’t tally at all. You said something and they said something
and you said something back and it went on and ended by itself... Why stir the
commotion now???
I am not trying to take sides here.
You were made fun of, I agree. They created a tag to rag you. But girl, these
are the very same people, who sang #oppari for one other. They are the first to
make fun of one other. That is the whole nature & essence of the twitter.
If you think that you were beyond this, you just ignore them as you already did
and get on with your life. But suddenly posing you as the sole sufferer after over
a year and putting all these people’s very livelihood in jeopardy, sounds very
vindictive and cheap, below the belt act for anyone.
So let’s rewind!!! You have had
stress from such remarks by these guys, so you decided to wipe out their
reputations and jobs and social stance... Your stress = their lives. Don’t you
think you have blown it out of proportion? Oh is it because, you can!!! Is that
why? You have the back up to support you and whatever you say become the truth.
SO this makes me think that this whole complaint has been well planned and
presented to take these men down.
If it is really about
seeking justice, if that is the case, what about all the insensitive crude remarks
you have made about these issues and the people who rambled to you because they
cared about the very same. So this just brings us back to the era, where you
can say whatever you want and get away with it but just want to keep the other
side repressed. How is this justice, in any standard???
If I were in your position, I would
have tried better to understand in depth, what I am giving my comments and
opinions about before making my point. Better yet, not comment about things
that are out of one’s depth, prior to stirring events like this. I hope you
have the soul satisfaction of destroying few people who dared to ask you back
about the right questions. Remember, Their slangs and the way they formulated
the questions & remarks would have been offish for your standard, but the
questions were truthful. Hope you can look back into what you said and reflect
upon yourself. Oh wait a minute!!! You cannot reflect upon what you have said
coz you haven’t left your so called tweets on there!!! You clever girl!!!
Anyhow, Hope you can sleep finally now that
you have brought justice to the world because all the crude buggers are beyond
the bars, lost their jobs, reputations and their families will ever suffer for
their bread & butter and not to mention been tainted forever for a silly
thing like standing up to what they really believed in something true and
respectful. You can go ahead with your perfect life and your double standards...
Wishing you all the very best!!!
