Five hours after my sister returns from a phone conversation with her friend, all she can remember is....that rogue cribbing about how her imaginary love life has come to a screeching halt!!! The babe expects all her friends to stop breathing and come to her immidiate aid, some with advise, some with sympathy and some with an alternative plan of action! The earth should stop revolving and change its planetary course so that the stars predict a different future for her and the dude she barely knows but definitely IS somehow her true love!!!
Yeah right!! Like hell he is!!! I mean what the hell is wrong with you girls? When did u cease to be a rational person and become brain dead??? how can something as small an argument with a local loafer convince you to jump off your two storeyed house..... which mind you will only ruin your chances in the future of finding a better guy as you'd be badly battered and probably missing a few limbs!!
Seriously, why has listening to parents become outdated? Who said it was bieng conformist? and even if it is....when did it become wrong??? Why are you guys becoming rebels (more often than not) without a cause? Why do you have to create a big fuss and make a mountain out of a molehill .....get real gals....stop being so dramatic!! you're not in a hindi movie ...so stop committing suicide at every drop of a hat! And neither are you in a hollywood teen movie trying to get back at the high school jock....so stop trying and move on duharling!!
Why do you teens think yourselves to be wiser beyond your years??? Who asked you to be the agony aunt and go about problem solving...??? Well urrmmm....reality check : your friends are as inexperienced and as immature as you are....its like banging you're head against a wall !!! Simply taking the advise of you're friends is going to get you nowhere......its actually the advise of you're parents that you should keep in serious consideration.....coz seriously hun, they're the only ones who REALLY care!
This brings me to an even more important point that, you teens, and more so tweens are increasingly becoming malcontents....nothing is good enough, no one is right, and everyone is aganist you guys. Well snap out of it.
Its not too long ago that I was sixteen myself. I was a thoughtless, inexperienced, self-obssessed daddy's girl.....but then i decided to step out of my comfort zone, rather my ignorant trance. But the problem today is that even after you girls grow well out of your teens you still dont want to grow up! How long can you go on living in your own dream world where you're the foolish little princess??? Get a life....start living! The sooner you face up to the wolrld the better, coz the bubble has to burst sometime! And if, it is done by others (senoirs in college , colleague at work or worse, whites in a far away land) it hurts big time!
Let this be an Oprah 'aha' moment for you where the light bulb goes on. Allow that adult to come out and breathe in fresh air. Get rid of that fake attitude and the even faker life! My advice to you dear is TO KILL THE TEENAGER AND NOT THE CHILD IN YOU! Be free spirited not immature, be open to impromtu friendships not relationships. Embrace life and soon you'll realise that the world is full of friends and not foes and bitches!

Shooting Stars
I'm sure this little piece of writing will strike a chord with anyone who is sloppy,lethargic and doesn't mind wasting some time in front of the infamous "idiot box."
i mean what the bloody hell !!! whats wrong with the Hindi television industry?? why the hell would they expect smart, educated, working women to watch the crap they dish out monotonously day in n day out!
i mean wot do they think... we watch these mind numbingly boring make -believe sagas and feel the pain n connect with the foundation coated protagonist?? well we've got news for you cheap three piece suited pimp like producers n directors, sitting in your air conditioned dingy offices...with sly blinds screening twinkys on musty sofas...WE DON'T GIVE A SODDING SHIT!!!!
when it all started some 8-10 years ago with Tulsi holding the torch for women across the country, it was a welcome change. then came her poor cousin version Parvati with the same issues n solutions minus the zing....coz tulsi had already beaten her to it!!! but still we sympathised when the quintessential good boy mihir died.... we felt horrid when we found out what a bitch pallavi turned out to be....and we also felt bad for kumkum(a much poorer version) for the loss of her few episodes old husband.
but then the bombarding started, with the monday to thursday routine...everyday, day in and day out,month after month, year after year, and with no intention of ever stopping!!
i refuse to get into the details of their "K" starting names, their identical plots n often the identical actors....c'mon man give us all a break!! the cause of the nosedive of Hindi television is the commercially viable and (i wonder how) profitable Monday to Friday routine. i mean the kind of pressure on the poor ill fed writer (probably a guy)to churn out problems faced by an ideal Indian married woman......no wonder the writer's imagination gives up and the brain commits suicide!!! this may explain the open plagiarism of plots and resulting in the repetitive soaps. the channel might change, but the story never does.
in this day and age we are faced with a monster called "jassi jaise koi nahi"(thank god there aren't anymore crawling about). i mean really now, who believes such crap! a 21st century girl living in a metropolitan like mumbai (and it gets better) working in a fashion house...will wear long ill-fitted warden looking shalwar kurtas, accessorising with 1930s barrister glasses! oh n not to forget those thick black (oh so out) fringes,and armoured teeth! the fashion police must have been in the lock up itself..to have let this kind of faux pas to pass! people often believe jassi to be the "missing link" from the evolution chart.
well the situation is not completely hopeless...when bollywood started copying Hollywood films...it took them time. there is still hope for the television industry thus. they've started copying "who wants to be a millionaire","weakest link","big brother" and many more. it will take about a hundred years for the Indian television industry to meet the standards of international television,but atleast our grandchildren will have a better world to live in!
and dont get me started on the award functions!!! rewarding "stars" for their hamming, zooming in and out of the frame with earth shattering background music is hardly acting! infact who says they're stars at all... at best they're asteroids!! with a dime a dozen teenagers pretending to be thrice their age playing moms to grown men.....if i ever bump into one i'd hardly lift up my head, leave alone recognise them. id do what i generally do, bad mouth them and move on!!!
