One lazy tuesday afternoon, I googled my team leader’s name…stumbled upon her old articles…man…so many of them!!!
Then began a saga of egOOO searches…some ended in finding out matrimonial ads for a colleague, some in lakme skin care help ME, some in yahoo answers, some in build-your-body-in-two-weeks! oh boy!!!
But then why do people do ego searches?
Probably as G Prats (a colleague!!!) pointed out…”it is good to know that I work with people who can be searched on Google!” Of course, it is a different story that she asked my TL to check Wikipedia for her Husband!!
Ego is something like an inflated balloon! Sounding cliche as usual, but I guess it is the fact. some like themselves to be pasted everywhere and then enjoy watching it! Maybe…!
But do YOU think Shahrukh Khan would do such a thing? Or maybe even Madonna???
Ahem…Ahem (pondering!)
Big B or Not!
So there was this sudden uproar in my team! Big B to be nominated as the next President of India! ok…take a deep breath and read again!
I browsed through the comments galore in a website, typed something…then thought, what the hell would people who doesn’t know Chavez do when they read my comment!!! So I nicely deleted the comment.Coming back to Big B…was there a need for the nomination? It made me think again about the celebrity-starved Indian stomachs…we need to know more, about Ash, and Abhi…and SRK and his watch, about Sarika…about oh yeah, the ‘firangi’ anna nicole baby…ouch!!! of course, even i do discuss “stories” of this genre when in company, i do love to watch “Zoom” and “Night-out”, thats just a different take on my kind of socialising…there are times when you just cannot escape!!!
and lord, yours truly is hurt!
how can India debate about trivialities strung on a thread loosely hanging on a link in a website…you waste hours finding the ex-presidents…typing comments all over the place, only to find the poor mr. Big B denying it off as a rumour! gleee…i would love to see that!!!
Note: My journalism diploma wavers somewhere amidst the clouds, when I think again, about the unkept promises to the society, about revolutionising the way the world works…!
The sound byte still lingers around, “oh journalism…yes! (i)dea is about changing people’s mindsets…way of thinking…!” Then I realised, the world does not need any more heroes, they don’t need revolutionaries, life moves on till 60-70 and then you lose the breath…nothing remains, not even the comments in the websites!
