Wanna make friends with me?

road romeo says: hey your profile is interesting...can we connect?

Sometimes (thanks to a friend Abhijit Panicker, who's clicked some good profile pics for me "thats his photographik magik")i get such scraps on my dying orkut profile.

This got me thinking... - if im friends with myself first...?? ... i dont think so...

1) Friends spend time with each other - well i dont ( or atleast i dint till 5 months back). When not working (most of the times that is) im reading, watching TV, gossiping (on gtalk or phone) or listening to music and thinking how vast the universe is and how im just a tiny little spec in the universe. (good music transcends me into a different world)

2)Yes, we can be friends with ourselves because we still not have become one with our innerselves. My heart and mind almost always want to do exactly opposite/contradictory things :) While my heart would want to hop, skip and jump to the next door marwari chaat wala (called Gangor) and have a plate of 'thandi thandi colorful bundi wali' pani puri and pav bhaji, my mind would think of that Reminka evening gown that i want to be able to wear for a friend's bachelor's party in november, for which i will need to shed a THOUSAND kilos (: 1 kilo in my stubborn built equals to 100 kilos worth to be lost)

anyway, coming back to the point... we are not yet one with ourselves and hence two different entities and hence its important to be friends with oneself first.

I have come across this, in conversations, in books, on TV, zillions of times...that this generation (thats me) is not at peace with itself.

And true, as much as I would love to write more on this topic (after giving some thought to it and bringing the flesh out (as my x-boss used to say), i am.... as restless as ever... as impatient as always... and as lazy as a sloth... i leave it at this and get back to some gossiping on gchat :)

Thanks Prerna (my colleague from Baroda Times)...for truly being a prerna :) and nudging me to write this new post :)

Who says bollywood is not advanced?? --> They use transgenic & mutated species as their characters

The latest Ajay Devgan hit ‘Halla Bol’ triggered a chain of thoughts in my extremely convoluted brain. Two particular scenes caught my attention… a girl being raped in a party and ajay devgan being hit after his street performance…. Nobody notices… or probably its not stimulating enough to trigger a reaction among the audience there…. And in the same string you see the stunt fame ajay devgan running light speed, jumping houses, fighting a dozen bad guys alone and what not… would I be wrong if I call the characters transgenic??

Transgenic : one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome… don’t you think the hindi movie characters are inserted with 1. Selective hearing & 2. Selective actioning …. Its deliberate yes it is… but why go so far…. I think all of us are conveniently ascribing to the rule of ‘Selective whatever’ …. Soon the future generations will be mutated to this sensibility. However, how will it impact the Indian telecommunication and sales & marketing field is still a question lingering in my mind!
