We are all Stars !!! Celebs and Reality Shows


One of the most irritating things nowadays is the TV coverage so called "celebs" get .. with interviews on channels .. sme even at prime time ... ma favourite part (i know i said irritating one sentence back but wen u r forced to watch so much shit on TV i guess u start enjoying it in a rebel sort of way .. neways back to da post :) ) "aap apne itne sare fans ka kya kehna chahenge ?" ... LOL ... even their faces show the shock at being asked such a wierd question .. for gods sake they just starred on some lame soaps on lamer TV channels and TV channels like aaj tak , zoom etc air this shit cause ... they r the lamest of them all !!!

I admit that i havn't watched a full show of any of the soaps (I swear its true but still watching a few mins of this is enough for me) ppl watch what they like ... but come on ... celebs r celebs ... they r ppl whom the paparzzi writes stuff about ... they try nd get away from the media ... play hard to get ... ppl want to read abt them ... their make ups, break ups ... they give livelyhood to a lot of ppl who "know" them ... like the VH1 sideys in the Fabulous life .. they have big houses ... small puppy dogs that they carry in expensive hand bags ... surely they dont try and kill each other on "Nach Baliye" !!!

Der are so many channels dat many more celebs are required for all of the shows .. more ever each show requires atleast 5 judges so even music directors who have written 2 songs or a director of a flop movie is called for the show ... nd some old faded away movie star is the hostess ... and poof ... lo behold a reality show is ready for another unknown channel...

Corollary for calling judges

1. Incase of da jodi reality shows
Number of Judges = Number of Jodis + or - number of hosts in the show

2. Incase of the infamous talent hunt shows
Number of Judges = (Number of Individual Contestants) /2 + or - number of hosts in theshow



Please note now teams have Indian name like gharanas ... and the hosts of the shows are always smiling ... some use adjectives like "wonderful wonderful" (yup 2 times .. always 2 times) any where in any situation eg. Contestant has finished a wonderful wonderful performance (oops sorry) ... or contestant has just won the grand finals of the show and da host uses wonderful to describe the cheque ... lol .. even if a fight breaks out either between the judges or the contestants .. sorry there is not if but a when and how many times dis happens will be known to regular viewers only (i have viewed dem a few times and my views are hopefully clear on the subject )
I dont want to drag dis discussion in to judge and host slandering ... judges use "sur" and "taal" just like college ppl use da word "f*ck" in sentences .. also all judges praise the contestants and give each contestant 8 or 9 or 10 .. (judges these are not the board exams ;) )

With release of every movie we have special guests .. who give their opinion after every performance ... and whenever a contestant sings a song featuring the "special guest" ... da guest come ahead dancing with the contestant !!!


Ofcourse someday judges will randomly make a contestant cry for a performance that to us according to their high standards would at least get them an 8 ... even their brains go numb thinking they just sang their usual nd now suddenly all judges r jumping on dem (hence da crying) .. ofcourse we will find out in the next episode that for a similar performance that he/she was made to cry now all the judges come on stage to dance on an equally horrible performance ... making judging an absolute waste on the show ... one thing i wonder is why the judges are required since neways the shows are decided by the audience vote ... hmmmmmm

still THEY ARE ALL STARS ...

Diceliving and other things


Posts regarding books that ppl write tend to be ... like reviews given sum vh1 critic in shows like "the fabulus life" ... so i tht i'd just be real nd tell u sme thing abt a cult book that i read ... after a thinking for a really long time i decided to start off with "The Dice Man" … i never thought that books really provide anything other than say a lil entertainment and thats wat is really important… to be entertained … I read this old book called The Dice Man. The book tells the story of a psychiatrist named Luke Rhinehart who, feeling bored and unfulfilled in life, starts making decisions about what to do based on a roll of a die…. this concept is what diceliving is all about … As this book went into the darker side of life and into “evil crimes” that keep happening in our lives it was banned in a lot of countries … including ours that added a new thrill level while reading the book ;) … as i kept reading the book … which kept reaching fascinating somewhat insane levels of thinking with a lot of reality in it … i realized that sometimes the most unreal and out of the world ideas when put across in the right way can be really convincing ….

Just so that u get a bit of where im at here’s how the book ends

“One day when Luke was being chased by two FBI men with .45s he came to a cliff and leapt off. Just catching the roof to a wild vine twenty yards below the ridge and dangling there.Lookin down he saw fifty feet below six policemen with machine guns, mace, tear gas cannisters and 2 armoure cars.Just above him he saw two mice, one white and one black beginning to gnaw away at the vine to which he clung.Suddenly he saw just in front of him a cluster of luscious strawberries.

“Ah,” he said. ‘A new option’.
