"Don't Splits-fella"
Reality shows.shows that are meant to be real,to be true, where people cry and express their love in front of millions of viewers!
where participants can be seen using the "F" word more than ever before. shows where there's a fight between love and seduction. where the boss calls the shots and uses participants as puppets when he feels the TRPs are not shooting high.
there's no trust! betrayl is everywhere! women are mere objects and shrewdness glorified! where voting system is no better than the one we have for our political system! skimpy dresses and couple of men who have all the fun! participants being disscussed in every college canteen, workplace and cafe ! is it fame? or is it mere dissection? you think anyone actually cares? doesn't!! then i feel everyone should! these shows are definetly not shot in MARS and beamed in india. these participants are the society. the new generation.my generation! this a serious sociological change. it is a reflection of the dreams and aspirations of new india! why such crave for fame? is it fame or identity crisis. are we not able to achieve indiviualisim? we all want to be someone else.we all want shortcuts.what happened to " i will work hard and struggle" attitude. have we lost it in this fast paced life?actually we have. everyday we hear about people becoming famous and getting rich in almost no time. the next door gal who's famous now! the dumbest chap in your class who went to a game show and is a rich man now!
why are we all so afraid of being a normal citizen. the common public! i prefer being a common man than letting my personal life be discussed more than the national budget.
where my personal life is made not so personal. you can get famous but with it comes a lot of pressure. it's very difficult to sustain and even more difficult when there's a downfall.of course there are a lot of people who manage it very well. people who don't care much about being famous but are anyways famous.those who try to be connected to the real world. there's are a numerous shows that promote musical skills,dancing skills, game shows which by far are still not that harmful to the society! work hard and you might just get lucky and famous. but plz don't sell youself !!

Dream Dream Dream !!
Ever thought where would u be after 20 yrs? for those who been through endless interview sessions in corporate cabins must have been asked by almost everyone the position you see yourself in after 5 yrs.But i'm talking 20 yrs.Some want to earn all the money and be super rich! and some want to give it all back to the society!some want to be famous! some wish they be unknown! some dream of being free! some dream of being alive! some don't think at all..it's all about priorities in life !!
It took couple of beers and a senior collegue to trigger this thought.
As for me..i don't want to be super rich! i want to retire early..own something, probably start a small business.have a small estate..couple of pets..write a book..yeah..!! might sound funny to come from a guy who took a year to read shantaram but then what the hell...gregogry david roberts took almost his entire prison life to write his! and i know it all might be possible.it might really come true.
for the fact to be proven let's see what we are today! didn't we all want to be what we are at some point of time in life.
like the author of "The monk who sold his ferrari" has written that when u really want something, when u sincerly aspire for something the world conspires for you to make it happen! We can put down our shoes and blame it all on destiny and let it
decide the path.I belong to a different school of thought. i feel one should dare to dream.after all it's all that we have.work towards it.but remember there are people who have worked their entire lives to achieve something but couldn't. the luck factor does play an important role. uncertainity is everywhere! in all walks of life but if u have a plan in mind the possibility of you ending up very close to it is very high.afterall there have been instances when ppl have discovered treasures, some by deliberate searching and some by incidence.Though both have got the got the booty only the former would feel satisfied.it's his dream come true. and for all we know the latter might have thought of being rich one day too.one knew the path the other didn't. the world conspires for both!!
the point is have a dream, plan your life, atleast know where u want to be! it all might seem impossible at this point of time but after 20 years you might find yourself sitting with a old friend of yours, in some pub, happily sipping beer and telling him " man! this is what i always wanted to be"..with a spark in your eyes and smiling away to glory !!
