We live a boring life!

I generally refrain from reading others' stuff, mainly because my mind is volatile and my ideas are more or less in a liquid form, so anything I read which relates to my ideas would act as a container and, whoa!, I will almost touch the ass of plagiarist in me, so I refrain from reading others' stuff and if I do and get inspired, I take the utmost care not to sound like Pritam or Anu Malik (wink! You know what I mean, I do not know the chinese lyrics of the song oh jaane jaa :D). Though this does not happen always, it does happen.


However, I have recently contemplated to read some of these stars' blogs and I did read them. AB's, AK's etc. The first thing I have noticed, and did so with envy, is that these blogs have thousands of comments, though most of them are "Hello AK uncle, I am 12 year old" types, the comments are there. And that made me envious.

A regular visitor to my blog, if he/she still survived by a stroke of luck, would be quick to grasp that comments on my blogs are as rare as a student who doesn't copy, or you might even want to say as rare as a girl in a Mechanical Engineering class or even as rare as good looking female in my project. What so ever, I made best efforts to market my blog as much as possible with all those funky gadgets on your right. I also wonder what would have happened if I were to be modest. Damn it, this IT industry did teach me something, show casing, eh!

Coming back to those celebrity's blogs, I wonder what AK thinks when he sees those comments, the "Hello AK uncle, I am 12 year old" types; he might just bring TZP kid in and asks him "should I reply him saying that I am AK uncle and I cannot quite disclose my age?" Or he might just blink and smile benevolently and muse over why a 12 year old kid started thinking about his own age so early and eventually imagines a bored house wife making the best use of her broadband connection, after all she cannot keep watching porn youtube.

What is more important is that the content of the blogs, these are completely e-journals of what these stars do day to day and what they think about what they do and in the attempt to do so they try to sound modest about (quite obvious, they cannot say "I am great and hence the great fan following") their stardom.

For a moment I thought and pondered upon a few 'what if's
like:
1) What if I also write about what I do every day. (a few of my body parts started disowning me immediately and considered parasiting upon my lesser mortal roomies).
2) What if my PM reads my blog on what I do? (my ID immediately called its insurance agent)
3) Worst of all, what if my client reads my blog on what I do everyday?? (I could almost imagine a few CEOs approaching Vito Corleone to save their businesses :D).


The gist of the article is that, we live a boring life. And I am sure talking about the fights we have to get the access to the Bathroom in the morning or the way we run to the bus stop JIT or for that matter the snoring patterns of our room mates would only make the blog as boring as our life is and I am sure if I were to talk about what my projects are or how I got moved by a certain incident no one cares a hoot. Of course, it is a different thing that you will be very famous if it is a video on you cozying yourself with your girl.

If you are still wondering why I wrote this or searching for something funny in this, I guess your search should end here and I suggest you laugh out loudly for me/with me/at me and wait till I pull out something better.

New iPhone launched.

All the speculations on the price of the much adored iPhone in India ended when it was finally declared that the coveted gizmo will cost you just 31K for an 8 GB version and its bigger brother which has bigger stomach capacity would cost you just 5k more. It will be a great pleasure to use this phone which comes at the price of dirt especially with Vodafone, which has an exceptionally great network. I did call their call center to convey the same, but there seems to be some problem as I have been failing to get connected for last three days, I have literally mugged by heart their promotional messages in Marathi while I waited for a call center executive to attend the call.

Meanwhile, rumours about the iPhone's next version coming up have swarmed the net. The next version is claimed to have the capability to increase the average intelligence for any one who uses it. It has a host of other customized features which include features like helping you look more attractive to the opposite sex, increasing your chances to get selected for a reality show if you send the SMS from your phone, and an all new lie detector to know whether your girl friend is cheating or not. You can also buy and download third party software, installing which will help you know whether or not a new release will be a hit by just typing its name.

Our sources had an opportunity to discuss about a very secret project for Apple inc., known as ePhone. An over excited Apple employee spilled the beans about this Z+ generation phone. The e-phone is claimed to be boon to all the corporate employees in the world, it is expected to bring reprieve from the bosses. "We are researching on the boss detector feature, with this feature the phone will be able to detect the boss within range of 5 meters and gives him a small but an uncomfortable shock." says the unnamed Apple employee."Bosses then associate the pain with approaching the employee and over a period of time will avoid the employee". he said with beaming eyes. "The other options are...." are the only final words we could manage from the employee as another employee pulled him in catching his collar. We are assuming the second employee is his boss.

Mean while, there are speculations that e-Phone will be launched in India first with the collaboration of Reliance. The price is expected to 200Rs per piece. That is the only way to show the world that we are as good as US said a beaming RelComm employee who refused to name himself.

A qucik rant.

Please note that this is a completely personal rant and the reader is risking his time by contemplating to read through. Any such attempts are assumed to have agreed to my terms and conditions of not cursing me after reading through.

I am not finding time to write, I know I have complained about this earlier, but I guess it is a cycle. But, I do not want this blog to be inactive for too long, lest I will have to budge into the requests asking me to sell my blog for $2.

So, just a few updates from my side.

Apart from the boring routine of brushing the same old teeth and bathing the same old body I have tried to see a few movies, apart from getting poorer by a few hundred bucks nothing substantial happened as the movies were far more routine than the above mentioned activities.

Yours truly have failed again, though not miserably, in his recent attempt to cover up for his ever falling hair which is affecting his otherwise charming personality. The finer details like what that attempt was and how miserably he failed are kept as a secret fearing the loss of market segment to his arch rivals.

Well, if you are to know me better, you will safely assume that failures hardly bother me. I guess that is the main reason I fail, there is no fear of failure for me.

I just wanted to quote a few lines from the Godfather here.


"in this world there comes a time when the most humble of men, if he keeps his
eyes open, can take his revenge on the most powerful."

That should end this post. I know this is too abrupt, but I seriously do not know how to end things, which is why I am still writing.
