DELHI 6

I just returned from watching Delhi 6 and I am tired seeing all the heroines potrayed as bubbly, talkative, sensitive and chasing their dream (which means career and not a husband and kids) kinds. The movie had good theme but it had lot of loose ends, acting was disastrous! The director tried his best to get the best out of Sonam Kapoor, it is not his fault if the best was restricted to her smile and hairstyle! Anyway..hope everyone is doing good! 

Practicality of life: nothing new that you do not know

As we are young, we have lot of ideals, of being truthful to ourself, faithful to others, helping those in need, respecting others irrespective of who the person is, having certain mission on life. However, in practicality of this world, many get lost and their ideals are remolded: become good to those who are good to you, money is very important (or perhaps the ultimate aim) and ask them to help the needy? They would rather earn and do some charity. This is how life works; perhaps it is the test of ideals you held once. I would never like to lose my ideals, I know I have changed a lot in past years in quite negative sense, I want to go back to the person I was, I do not want to be practical. I remember that in 10^th, 11^th class, I used to regard the phrase “being practical” as very derogatory. I do not know why I started following its path. I regret it. This world is critical of everything. You take a step in some direction; people will tell you that you are stepping in a pit. Again, I regard all this as test of your ideals. Just have faith in what you are doing; the world will be with you. Dammit, I have changed so much. I just remembered that once in a declamation contest I had talked about self esteem being so important in life. How people with strong determination just focused on their target, nothing else mattered to them. I do not say that I have any big vision in life. But yes, I do have certain goals to fulfill, how I want to see myself 10years down the line. Anyway, life goes on..tata

BAD BAD

Over the past few years, I have come to know myself much better and more I know myself, more I hate myself.

I have such poor temper and once someone gets in the net of my short temper, I make sure to make his/her life hell. This is so contrary to what Riju was once who had ideals like "behave with others the way you want them to behave with you", blah blah..This Riju aint any good. 

HERE I AM..:)

Sometime back I was reflecting on how clichéd everyone around me is, that everything is often so predictable that you just feel, ah, not again! But then (as it always happens with me) an afterthought follows..times change and one’s understanding of various happening of life also alter. Some person whom you once believed was the most diabolical in the world turns out to be quiet friendly, people whom you perceived as benevolent turn out to be complete dolts. I enjoy this dynamism in life, everything keeps on evolving, nothing is constant…it is fun.
P.S: When a girl is crying, a guy’s most clichéd response is “you look beautiful when you cry” (Source: Bollywood)…DUH!!

Bakwaas...........

There are two categories of people in this world; first consists of those who believe in doing something, who evolve themselves over time, the second category includes those who are mere spectators in life, who spend their life discussing about the first category. Latter class is very interesting. They discuss what is the latest mirch-masala news on TV, what Mr.A is doing, what they ate last night, basically infinite meaningless accounting of what is happening in their “vivid” life. If they happen to be more “intellectually” inclined then they would have their own set of discussions which often are mere attempts to show how well they understand some author/movie/drama etc. (has to be “artistic”).

There are abundant channels to reinforce such character in a person. They will cater to your dead grey cells so that you don’t have to make any efforts to understand what is happening, however, as long as you don’t have to make those cells working you are cool about it.

Who is to be blamed, what is to be done?
I am not sure about it. In introspection I think the second breed has the easiest path to flow though the destination will ever remain hazy. Being the easiest, it has the highest demand. But it is the first one on which I desire to be on, always.

UNTOUCHABLES

Thomas Friedman in his tryst with flat world defines Untouchables as people whose jobs cannot be outsourced. I will mould the definition and say Untouchables consist of those whose jobs cannot be substituted by another person. Such jobs can be divided into three categories: “special” workers, “specialized” workers, and another set of workers who are “really adaptable”.

Now in my quest for a job I am wondering which category I will fall in so as to be secured for lifetime.

Special workers are all the big names like Bill Gates, Larry King, Amitabh Bachchan, and Britney Spears. They are not afraid of their jobs being taken away mostly because the job they are doing have been created by themselves. The kind of acting, singing, reporting is like their copyright.
Some introspection: What job can I invent which will be my and only my copyright? Answer: Blank.

Let’s move on to the second one: Specialized workers.
This category includes specialized doctors (for example: Trehan, Venugopal), specialized lawyers, engineers etc. Their skills are always placed high and hence always in demand. No fear of loosing out to anyone and safe and secure future. Now which field can I specialize in? Tough question, but still searching for an easy answer.

Next category consists of “really adaptable” people. That means constantly upgrading your skill so that no one can overtake you from any side. That means constantly involved in honing your skills and also enhancing it. This adaptation is not like “Adaptation amongst reptiles” or “Adaptation amongst Aquatic animals” as they adapt once and that’s all. But here adaptation is ever evolving. For a lazy bee like me Thomas Friedman says “really adaptable”.

Is there any fourth option?

HULLO

Tring Tring. Here I am back to blogging. How is my blog doing?
So anyone who happened to read my blog and had the misfortune of again visiting it must be wondering where was I and why the hell I am back..hehe
I will answer the latter part. I am back for my own selfish reasons as usual and that is to engage myself in writing ATLEAST SOMETHING.
Have been wondering though what I will write as there are so many things happening but writing it to bore others would be unjustified and uncalled for.
And here I am bidding adieu to the first year in college. It had been the most beautiful year ever. No, don’t worry I wont start with explaining how it was and what I learnt and what mistakes I committed and still didn’t learnt etc. No analysis. Only thing is that everything changed, my viewpoint (though I had none but still it sounds kind of philosophical to write..hehe), the way I look at things, I changed, some say for good n many say for bad but for me there was self-realization and right now I don’t care which direction it took me to.
Have been caught up in many things and in addition my laziness kept me away from blogging but now I hope to be a little regular.
Hasta la vista
