Bollywood latest music charts and latest movies are a craze for the kids. They seem to be in touch with all this latest stuff, even a step ahead than the parents. The music channels, latest gadgets and flexibility provided by the censor have thankfully contributed to their General Knowledge. So it is not at all a surprise when we see that 1 yr old kids who can hardly speak out complete words, sing and dance to the tunes like Sheela ki Jawani.
There has always been a class of movies and songs that had been exquisitely for adults. But that was the time when the exposure to media was restricted. There was no dish TV or cell phones or downloads. Movies like Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, or the James Bond movies was a stuff with strict "A" certification by the Censor board. All the kids could see were the posters or hoardings.
Now, with everything and anything being displayed day in and day out, kids are invariably getting exposed to all this. We cannot blame the parents for this. Even if rules are followed in the house or channels are kept on hold, kids pick up all this from friends, neighbours, day cares, school friends, malls and every source around them.
The worse part is that they get to see most of the clips, songs but understand nothing. Movies like Murder I and II have a repeat telecast on television. It is indeed a tough time for parents when the kids ask questions like, "What do Akshay and John work as in Desi Boyz?" or "What does sperm donor mean?" and so on...
