Dance to Someone Else's Tune

Dude...
It was good...
It could have been better..
Add a little bit of this here, reduced from there.. It would have been awesome..
Food was not upto the mark..
Catering sucked..
Decorations were pathetic..
Invites were shabby..

Rings bell??
Anyone??

Yes...
Its exactly what you think it is...
Its cribbing..
Cribbing for a job not well done..
Criibing for a performance that was not good.. In the eyes of the beholder..
Critics as some might say...

It happens all the time..
Fingers are pointed..
Voices are raised..
Opinions circulate...

Once for a change appreciate the hard work people put back stage to put up a show..

NO ONE..
Absolutely no one wants to be a part of a flop show..
Everyone puts in their best foot forward..
Everyone wants the show to be a hit..
But sometimes it doesnt go the way u want it to be..
Big Deal...
Shit happens...

If you cant applause, keep quiet god damn it..
Silence is the worst feedback...
They'll understand..
Or if you think you are better at it, show your mettle next time..

But I guess, thats the fate..
This is the destiny..

Despite working asses out..
Day in and day out..
While others were happily sleeping..
All they get is "hmmm ok..." (they as in those involved)

Its tough to make everyone happy at the same time..
Something or the other would go wrong..
Some plans might backfire and backup plans might backfire even more..
Despite heavy opportunity costs, all we get is brickbats..

Its always easy to dance to someone else's tunes..
If you suck, blame can always be delegated...

Ask the same people to be in their shoes for an event..
Right from raw material to the final product..
Right from the invites to the good bye...
Right from the brainstorming to the final presentation...

They might come up with a better event, but in the process they'll understand the pains linked with it..

All I want to convey is to think..
Think before you point fingers...

Clap a lil less if you dnt like the event..
But why frown??
A little round of applause can work wonders for the upcoming events..
Booing is so very easy and so much "in" thing..
But the real test of the character is keeping the cool when you have the full authority to go all guns blazing..

Dont praise..
Dont "high five"..
But dont go overboard and kill them either...

Being a performer and organiser I know the pains it takes in an attempt to give a few light moments..

If not for anything else, appreciate the gesture atleast..
