Rewind back to 80’s……. my childhood days… everywhere there were songs composed or even sung by Bappi Lahiri. He was riding the success of disco beats. There was no one else to compete with him in that disco zone. Apart from his disco style, he created very few good music scores too. In 90’s, Bappi Lahiri slowly vanished as music composer and then suddenly re surfaced again in music and film industry as a singer to other composers (I know two songs for sure). Now he is seen everywhere…….. on TV shows, in award ceremonies, as judge and sometime as a music expert too. The success of 80’s made Bappi Da think that he is a legend. Most funny part is he himself claims he is legend. In one of the TV reality show where he was a judge, he was repeatedly comparing himself with the genius of R D Burman and was patting his back. Sometime it looks so funny and sometime it irritates you. Matter becomes worst when suddenly here and there he starts singing too. Recently there was a spat between a singer (Abhijit Chatterji) and Bappi Da. The singer lambasted Bappi Da while talking with news reporters and Bappi Da reacted, “That person is 3rd class person and singer. He is talking nonsense about a legend of music industry”. Bappi Da seriously thinks and he himself declares that he is a legend.
Bappi Da it’s true that in 80s, there were only your songs getting hit in music industry and you did every A B and C for disco music but why do you forget that 80s is supposed to be worst music decade in Indian music and film industry. Please don’t compare yourself with greats like R D Burman.
Hope if someone can help Bappi Da to learn some modesty.

Type of Unemployement
A basic definition for employment is work available for an interested worker and unemployment is no work available. When I was in 5th standard in a government middle school in Bihar, we had a subject called civics where I understood that altogether unemployment is of three types:
1. Complete unemployment
2. Half unemployment
3. Hidden unemployment
Complete unemployment is a situation where you don’t have any work to do thru out the day, week, month and year. It’s easy to understand. You wanted to do some work but there is no work for you. Next one is half unemployment. Half unemployment is, if you have some work available for you during some time of year and don’t have any work after that. Best example can be taken from some seasonal farming when a labor gets some employment while doing the paddy farming and sits unemployed after the season is over. This type of unemployment is also easy to understand. Third one is most difficult and confusing. Hidden unemployment is where from the outside, others think that everyone is employed but usually few of them have work to do. For example if n number of labors can do some work in time t but the m (where m>n) labors are employed to do same work in same time t then its hidden employment. Earlier the accurate and real world examples for this type of unemployment were the government departments where more than required number of engineer and helper were employed to do some work which can be completed with less number of worker. Socialist and communist philosophy encourages this type of unemployment. One more example is where a more skilled worker does less skilled work. For example, if a PhD holder is employed to do some work which can be easily done by a diploma holder.
