Take a Backseat
2007 June 17
It is blinding.
Too much of spotlight is. The star has to take a back-seat on a few occasions so that the starlets get a chance to strain their apparently expressive eyes in the harsh brightness of the spotlight. The star may not always agree, but the director rules.
It is not a resignation, consider it a vacation of presence.
To an extent.
bahut hee jyada abstract hai bhai. phri se padhengey – shaam ko. dekhte hain, banda kuch samajh pata hai bhi ki nahin
Vacation is important – for it to be in the spotlight.

what @ “it”?
Interesting and essential perspective.For some times our insecurities don’t let us let go. If only we knew how to think differently.
Maybe it’s only because of the darkness we are able to see…?

Interesting interpretation – insecurities were far from the thought when I wrote this
v. interesting
==Imugi:
Yes, maybe something like that – some concept of pupil dilation? Always better to see when the lights are off
That is the beauty of interpretation isn’t it?
‘It’ is the star…the star has to realise that staying on vacation for sometime is healthy for its spotlight..
Perhaps turning down your own light for a little while can serve to make people all more grateful when it returns… the danger of that being that someone else’s light shines that little bit brighter in the absence of your own.
Surely then it’s only a matter of time before they, too, have to dim their lights.

It sure is!

Ah! But the spotlight has a mind of it’s own!
==Andrew:
And the cycle continues…and little while is so relative.

Thank you! and Wow!
Very well written post. There are so many ways of interpreting this. I guess EU has made it evident and I myself have 2 more interpretations for this post. It is really thought provoking.
==3SC:
Tell me, tell me…
Interpret 1: Sometimes the stars are in love with the status. And so they are not ready to let go of the spotlight even for a minute
Interpret 2: Sometimes the stars justify their “starness” by the incompetency of starlets not able to take over
And so Star has to take a back seat…
==3SC:
In any case – I completely agree! 
How topical! I was expecting something very different from you!
