'Eye on the TV, cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be
Like:
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shunned by his own son"
"She used a poison
In his tea
and he kissed her goodbye"
Thats my kind of story
Its no fun till someone dies'
started off with some lines from the song Vicarious by Tool. The reason y i wrote it it because cynicism creeping in people or lemme use a more diplomatic word "sensationalism" ....ohhh yea everyone craves for it rite from the toddler to the gramps. A soap opera TRP goes for a toss if ther aint no sensation in it, a husband needs to have more than 3 wives ... like each wife contributing to 25% of TRP's .. n yea it's a bonus if 1 of them is a vamp. Surf thru the idiot box n u'd find a ponytailed guy screaming his butt out "kya aap iss shakhs ko pehchante hain??", no wonder 'Sansani' has turned bout to b a cash cow for Aaj Tak. the 27*7 news channels are just waiting to squeeze out grapevine for the semi-conscious zombies who crave for summin to happen ... but hey it's keepin urself informed right?? We needta b informed bout the wrestler Khali's new moves, we needta b informed bout the kid who was stuck in well for 5 days ;cameras of all news channels trying to reach wher even the kid hasn't stepped in, we needta b informed bout some big-shot's weeding wher wine was in room temperature n champagne was served in red wine goblet, a reality program aint tht happening if ther's no 1 crying the producer wants the cameraman to zoom in to the glycerine tears .. wants the editor to add a grayscale tone for the amplified saddenss... "grey dammit i want more grey", "why's tht kid smiling, i want her to cry", sensation .... sensation... MTV roadies wnt work without a delhi spoiled bitch
yes why dnt u join me for a cup of sansani khabar....

The Epitaph of a cassette
Seriously i just cant believe how the thing which was a rage among the youth in 90's became extinct. the audio cassette... cute little thingy wrapped in a loop of brown tape .... the jaan of every walkman ... comes under the most preferred birthday present among friends. Well, it just remains as a showpiece in the music stores. People have also tried a creative approach to the thousands of stacked cassettes below the drawer... now they are been used as novelty furniture... like maybe a tea-table or wall accessory. With the advent of CD's, DVD's n MP3 players ...looks like our beloved cassette has to dig it's own grave.Now tht the cassette players in automobiles are replaced or used as ashtrays... lets have a moment of silence for our brown-tape pal. R.I.P
(btw tell u summin they make excellent novelty furniture ... LOLs)

That recharge of emotions when u met ol' pals
Ok here u are working 12 hrs a day, the computer screen staring at u and giving that saddistic 'ur-my-slave' looks , u feel like a bot assigned to do certain things not to forget doing those things under freaking deadlines. So an angelic holiday comes in between to save u from the mental turbulence. What do u do???? spend extra time playing ur recently downloaded games or orkutting with imaginary profiles ??? aargh ... get a life. how bout catching up with ol' pals? sounds gud , hell yeah it does, come on maybe they have a holiday just like u or maybe they too wish they'd get one day to get away from the materialistic world. It's rejuvenating meeting with pals who always make u feel like a star, pals who would share the bill from the awesome food u just had from ur favorite eating joint , pals with whom u cant stop taking photos n posing with , pals with whom u cant do nautanki n still not get embarrassed, it's a recharge of ur emotions. The day suddenly comes to an end and realise u had another milestone in ur memory.
So the next time u get a holiday from the monotonous 'action-replay' days of work..
make sure ur plan includes meeting up those ol' pals ...
