Venting Out The VJ In Me

Well, I've been saying a lot about me being a big music lover and adding videos and all to this blog. Clearly, I wasn't able to do that for a long time. But today, finally putting off my laziness, I sat down to add some of my favorite music videos here. And I did. But somehow, I didn't like the feel of it. I just didn't seem to like the way the whole thing looked.

So, thanks to the great thinker and innovator in me, (what are you laughing at, huh?) I came up with this :

Yeah! I now have another blog especially for putting on all the coolest videos I like. I can now add not few, but a whole lot of videos over there. So there you have it, a dedicated vblog. I've added it to the blog list, as you can see. I've started off with some english videos and a really mindblowing performance by michael jackson. So, what are you here for now? Just check it out.

Prime Time!

Poof ! Where's all the choclate gone? and the party? Where's the...oh! Another dream! Its 11:00 am in the morning. Half awake, I grab the television remote and switch on the tv.
11:30 am : I am still searching for something sensible to watch but in vain...so I just switch over to mtv.
11:45 am : Now, I am finding it really hard to watch the same movie clips again and again and i am struggling to keep my interest.
11:50 am : click! I switch off the tv and turn on my pc to check my mail and all.

Well, the idiot box cannot do more justice to its name, 'cos its REALLY IDIOT! I mean, I just can't seem to find anythng sensible enough to watch. The biggest criminals are the news channels, especially the hindi ones. Somehow, they just seem to have run out of news. They show all types of crap; astrology, ghostly stories, spiced up small incidents...Why can't these gyus use their brains and come up with something even near to sanity. I mean, come on! The last thing we want to see on a news channel is a ' baba's ' astro-gyan on why is Delhi having early monsoons!

If you thought that wasn't crazy enough, check out our 'supposed-to-be entertainment' channels. What's happened to them? I bet you can't find anything except those creepy family dramas, with creepier women and even creepier background scores...aaaaahhhhh!!!

And by the way, you must have noticed the latest trend by now, haven't you? Those talent hunt sops? Well, it statrted off with indian idol. Ok. Then came one more. Ok. But now, the tv is flooded by these shows, with every channel coming up with its own 'version'; like there's any difference! Somebody needs to tell them to stop otherwise every other Indian will start to think he's a KK or Sonu Nigam. And we don't want to see them out of business, do we?

The only little something I get on the television comes courtesy mtv, channel V and other like music channels. Atleast they are doing their job! But how long can one listen to the same songs and videos again and again?

So guys I think I've had enough of this crap. But what can I do? My dad doesn't own the Star Network or the Aaj Tak. Guess, I'll have to wait for the next good movie they are showing on HBO. Until then, its happy blogging for me!

Back Again!

Phew! Lemme catch a breath...boy, have these been the busiest vacations of ma life! Its been two weeks since my vacations started and I haven't had a single day to just sit down and relax. First of all, I get this shocker from my friend on just the second night - "Training starts tomorrow morning, 9:30 am. Be ready!". Wow! Some start!! So, its office every morning for me, and I am like "there goes my sweet little vacation". However, I didn't let it last too long. I quit it in about 10 days. So much for learning! And it wasn't just the training, there were a lot of things that hooked me up, but lets just forget all that.
I barely got the time to occasionally check my mail and orkut, what to say of publishing a new post. But today, finally, my day has come! Its raining beautifully outside and the weather's so nice. There's a glass of coke by my side and the internet speed is no more sloggy. It's not hot and sticky anymore, its not that usual steel chair I am sitting on. Its not Chennai any more and its not room no. 410....I AM BACK to where I belong...."home sweet home".
There's nothing to worry about, no deadlines, no exams, absolutely no tension! Now I am starting to feel the winds of the holiday season...and believe me, I am all ready to blow out with them.
