Fame or Embarrassment

Its been quite sometime..infact, really long time since i've posted anything here. Dunno why but I dont feel like putting anything here. I have quite a lot of things on my mind but i'm unable to express them in words.."writer's block" (though i'm not really much of a writer).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was watching 'The Simpsons' the other day. Now that the cable guy has done the most angelic job of putting Star World back on, I just can't help but stay glued to it. You can call it "Bad TV addiction"[:D], but I absolutely love watching Star World !

So I was watching 'The Simpsons' and the episode was the one where Bart Simpson discovers that Homer and Marge made him do a commercial as a baby where he was.....

"Baby Stink-Breath" [XD]

Well just as expected, he is highly embarrassed after knowing this and gets all upset when the kids around start teasing him by that name.

This made me think (Nowadays I get ideas from such shows only [;)])......
What do these little babies who appear in the diaper commercials (where they are made to do all weird embarrassing things) feel about it when they grow up???

Like the ad where the baby is running in the house without any pants or diaper on, away from everyone who are trying to "COOCHIE COO" his/her butt and eventually the baby's mom (in the commercial) catches the baby and "COOCHIE COOS" the baby's butt!!

Or the one where the baby is walking around with a loose diaper and it comes off! I guess it was for some pant style diaper.

We people find these ads really cute because these babies are really really cute. But what about them?
How would they feel about this kind of "exposure" :P on Television when they grow a little older??

Would they be proud that they are famous??
Anything for fame! OR
Would they be embarrassed that their parents let anything of this sort happen?? :D ;)

This is what I could think of writing to shoo away the block..atleast i did manage to write something however weird and absurd it may be. :D

Adios!!

I wish..

My vacations just got over last week.This vacation was a little bit different from others because other than just planning the Things-to-do I actually did a few things during the initial part of my vacation. Read two awesome books-- A Thousand Splendid Suns- Khaled Hossieni and Da Vinci Code - Dan Browm. Other than that preparations for placements and then getting placed...YES!! I got placed!!

As I utilized the first half of my vacation quite efficiently, the second half had to be my lazing time. After all I had to live up to my reputation. I was pretty jobless. The whole day watching TV--Facebook--watching TV again XD

Well during this time I did something that only a jobless person could do..Watch the CID episodes' marathon run.:D When I was a kid I used to watch CID as a serious thriller show. Now its nothing more than a comedy show!! Awesome comedy I must say!! Some preposterous forensic evidences and conclusions make me laugh my guts out and Fredrick's acting...WOW!! super duper!! :P Daya,The Door Breaker and The Slap Machine. In fact believe it or not; On facebook there is a fan page of "DAYA DARWAZA TOD DO." MAny other pages dedicated to CID can also be found there. Though I may make fun of it,there is one thing that I like about CID.

The cases are solved so quickly. The criminal then narrates why he committed the crime (Of course, not before Daya's thappad :D) and then the ACP's dialog, "Ab ya to tumhe faasi ki saza hogi ya aajivan kaaraavaas."

I wish that would have happened in real life too. Here it takes years and years to convict someone and then the punishments are also a joke. Eg. 6 months imprisonment for molesting a girl!! This makes me wonder..."Why aren't our punishments harsher??" The crime rate in our country has increased by many folds. Shouldn't something be done to curb it? Why not introduce harsher punishments for serious proven crimes? Unless and until that happens , the criminal minds in our country are going to flourish and be carefree about facing any harsh punishments for their crimes. It would be like...India hai...Dubai nahi..maximum punishment for a few years.(Btw Dubai crime rate is almost zero..barring some immigration crimes..also the punishment for even 'petty' crimes like theft are also very harsh).

As i say this I must also mention here that I recently saw in the News --> Death sentence given to 2 kidnappers to set an example. I think it is a welcomed move and hoping it will help reduce the crime rate and many more such initiatives are taken.

Adios.

Marriages are made....ON TELEVISION!

Initially,it was just the families and the priests...then the marriage bureaus,next came the internet with the matchmaking portals and the latest entrant in the world of matchmaking is....(drums on roll)..TELEVISION or hamare pyaare TV ji.
I remember Madhuri Dixit used to host such a show 'Kahin na kahin koi hai' which reminds me of 'SHHH! koi hai'...dunno why :D
After the show turned out to be a SUPER DUPER FLOP..TV ji backed out of this business.But IT'S BACK again!! And the trend setter is none other than our very own Indian Paris Hilton --->Rakheeee Sawant.(Taliyan Taliyan)..
Honestly when I heard that there were around 1200 applicants to be her 'var'...I actually fell off my chair. "Did recession hit these guys so bad"???"Are they out of their mind"???"Is Rakhi 'jee' the new ideal bride"??? Anyways so there was a show now and Rakhi was going to start the process of selecting her 'var' and my mind started the useless process of thinking how the show was going to end.
One outcome of this process was:(yeah i talks n walks only technical language :D)
--->She decides to get back with her ex bf Abhishek..
"Abhishek main sirf tumhari hoon aur tumhari hi rahoongi(imagine an 80's actress saying that)...Press ko bulao..aur double media ko bulao...mera var sirf ABhishek hi hai!!!"
Then i got another shock...the show ended (i dunno when) and she decided to marry some NRI uncle!!whoa!!totally unexpected!A real Swayamvar!!

And the trend has begun..Now theres Lux ki perfect bride..oops..i mean "lux" perfect Bride,where 5 betas with their mummies are going to select dulhanns for them.The mummies are going to play typical saas it seems..Seriously,how ridiculous can it get..Heres i imagine how much..

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry her?
Mummy:No beta..she is taller than you!

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry her then?
Mummy:No beta...she is a masahaari..she doesn't know how to treat animals (i'm sure she'll mistreat you too!)

Beta:Mummy Mummy can I marry Rakhi Sawant then?
Mummy: *slaps hard* Kya duniya ki sari ladkiyan mar gayi hain??? Dont u know she has her var and also a baby now!!

Well as I was imagining after matchmaking..What next??But hamare TV ji itne smart hai ke ab kya bolu.Now TV ji will give couples training on 'How to manage small babies'. It has Rakhi Sawant again with her NRI uncle and its on NDTV Imagine.
I wonder why does Imagine care so much about Ms. Sawant..first her Swayamvar and now training to become a good Mommy!!Kudos to imagine!!What a challenge!!

As the show airs today...I again wonder..WHAT NEXT??? And i hope that our dear TV ji has no such answer to it.


P.S. :- Btw Himesss uncle is back with his faltoo..oops i mean fultoo attitude...and bajofying his maaannnn kaaa radiyyon...
HELP!!!

Sad thoughts.

21st June was the final of the ICC T20 world cup....and I being a cricket fanatic (i can proudly say that i am 1 of the few girls who likes cricket because of cricket and not because of the cricketers :)...though i do like a few of them:D) was definitely watching it!

Sri Lanka v/s Pakistan....i was a little disappointed that India didnt make it to the finals..but then they didnt play that good enough so they didnt deserve it!I was rooting for Sri Lanka..nothing against Pakistan....but SL has 1 of my Fav players..kumar Sangakarra..so I was on sri lanka's side...and as usual...the team that I support never manages to win!!:(....(99% of the times that happens)

Initially I was a bit disappointed...but then I switched on a NEWS channel where they showed videos of Pakistani fans celebrating...doing the nagin dance and all.
It brought a big smile on my face. Yes,SL lost...but there was something more important that happened..the ppl of Pakistan got something to celebrate.The past few weeks must hav been difficult for ppl there because of all the tension going on over there..we hear of bomb blasts every day...and in such times...a world cup must be like being on the top of the world!!So..in all I was happy!

But yesterday i read an article in the newspaper in which Shahid Afridi said that the Indians were not happy playing against us..that really pissed me off!
Dude!!U've won a World cup...you are being worshipped as a hero in your country...why do you have to say all these things and spoil the happy atmosphere around???C'mon I dnt think India will ever do that...thats my personal opnion of course!but a strong belief that they wont do that..If u are sulking at a moment when you should be dancing with joy...and cherishing every moment..then you've got a serious problem Mr.!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saw on the news just now..Michael Jackson no more! thats a really sad news that came up today....but what was more sad was the way people were talking about him in a negative way.
Sure...he has had a lot of controversies....but you can't deny THE fact that he was for sure the King of Pop!His songs were a craze...and his dance moves...wow!! (I tried to do the moon walk once...almost sprained my leg...and plus had all my folks laughing their heart out!)

I was taught this as a child..that when someone passes away..you shudnt be talking bad abt him no matter how many bad things he might hav done..so it did disappoint me!!
I'm sure being a celeb in hollywood must not be easy at all...the cameras following you every where...and their bad sides will come up to but you cant ignore their talent...

Like for eg. Britney Spears...her life is overflowing with controversies!!!But you cant deny the fact that shes one of the best popstars ever!!But if u curse or talk about some one like Lindsay Lohan..Of course i wont blame u then..the girls got no talent(atleast she hasnt shwn any till date) and only controversies in her life!!

I so hope that ppl start taking out positives out of other ppl lives and talk about it and not the negative ones.

Michael Jackson R.I.P

Mind your Language "Please"!

Date:10th January 2009-----------------------Time:7:00pm

I was glued to my TV like any other 20 something person..sounds senseless..Wait a min... correction:I was glued to MTV like any other 20 something and now you know the reason why! Yes,it was the first episode of MTV Roadies 6.0 Hell Down Under!!I just love to watch all those adventurous tasks that these people do except for the ones where they have to eat some creatures and then they puke it out...YUCK!!! I feel sometimes that I should be doing those tasks but then I come back to ground reality.....I am way too "darrpok" to do most of these tasks!!

Anyways they planned to delay the start a lil bit..I got to see the preview of the entire season before the 1st episode and I realized something....The number of beeps has increased like anything..Roadies 5.0 wala roadies sounded like saints in front of these roadies!!Personally,this part of roadies is something i hate..even though i say hate...i like 1 thing...I can proudly say,"Look at these people....they have a pathetic vocabulary than ME..thats why this is all that they can say!!!";)

I have an awful vocabulary...I'm trying to improve it though....I remember 1 episode of my life..this was when i was in FE..Sem 2...I was the CR of my class and we had this Physics prof.. She is a very moody woman..One day she would yell at you and insult you like anything and the next day she would be the sweetest person around..And me being the CR had to bear the brunt of her mood swings most of the time...So one fine day(or rather a very ugly day) she insulted me like anything for no fault of mine and almost threw the assignments on my face(i hate ppl who throw books and pages like that.Respect them..they are your source of knowledge!!) The next day she came to our class and told me to stand up..I thought,"Here she goes again..".She asked me,"Are you good at extempore??"The worst part of it was I didnt know then what extempore meant*tch tch..shame shame* All I could do was stare blankly at her with the typical confused look that I have.Then my friend who was sitting besides me understood my problem and told me the meaning of extempore...My immediate reaction was "OHH YES!Uhh..I mean yes ma'am I am." Then she said,"Why dont you audition for being the host for Sojourn(thts our cultural fest)....You've got the looks!!" I was like..."What happened to her???Did someone hit her on her head(was a possibility u knw..with the kind of nature she has :D)..and I said in the sweetest way.."Sure ma'am I will".. Ofcourse i didnt..because I had this huge stage fright then(I did manage to overcome it...details later)...But two things from this episode..... First That I have an awfully awful vocabuary(it was very embarassing)..and secondly... OMG!!People can have worst and terrible type of mood swings.God save ppl like me frm them!

Btw I took the topic from where to WHERE..It was about Roadies and how my vocab is better than theirs...These ppl...oooff!!I mean dont they know any other words or what!!!All we can hear is the F-word and a bunch of other heavy weight abuses and that too when these words are completely irrelevant to what they are saying!!Those beeps are totally useless..even a school kid knows what words they are using!But seriously not just roadies..this is the present day scenario of the Gen-X..The youth..The guys in college feel itchy if they dont use the F-word atleast once and surprisingly its not just the Guys...even Girls too*hey Ram!!aaj kal ki ladkiyan...tch tch*...not that I am some dadi amma :D ....but Thankfully I am not into this and Thank you MOM for this..(details later)...I know all the bad words,"I think"...but I never use them*full of pride*..However it is very much essential to know them or you could be in a situation like..

Some dumbo: You are a #%$@$%%$ %$##$!!!

You:Wow!!really? AAwww...thats so sweet of you!!Muah!!

This could be one of the worst situation u can face...So know your abuses but dont use them "PLEASE"!! Whoa...Who am i kidding..Me saying please isnt gonna change your language unless you actually try to!Well,I did give it an attempt! :) So people who like to use abuses..all i can say is"Get well soon MAMU!!"
