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.
