Sing for the Moment


What do you get when you put together a crowd of tone deaf wierdos, a politically correct set of three obnoxious judges, and a sprinkling of tuneful saviours?

Well, anyone watching the intitial auditions of american idol for the first time might well be of the opinion that this is the greatest freak show on earth. This, my faithful readers, is america in all it's pitiful glory.

Don't be surprised to see people turning up in front of the judges wearing battle armor, bathrobes, or even entire suits that look like they've been stitched out of an american flag. And you haven't even heard these lunatics sing yet.
When out of a crowd of 16000 that turn up for auditions, only 7 make it to the next round, something is seriously WRONG.

The saving grace being that it gets a lot better in the later rounds when the aforementioned tuneful saviours are belting it out, and if you're a fan of really good english music, you're in for a treat.

needless to say, i love music and i'm addicted to the show. i honestly cannot wait for the threshing process to finish and for them to get on with the serious singing (and of course i shall continue to listen attentively in eager anticipation of simon's next caustic remark).

Let the music play.

Misgovernment

Is it just me or does the functioning of the Indian government seem totally ridiculous? I've never understood the concept of a company where it's practically impossible for anyone to get fired, regardless of how good or bad they are at work. Nor can i understand the mentality of a person who applies for a government job for the sole purpose of this so-called "job security" where he, once into the job, has absolutely no accountability and almost zero probability of getting fired or laid off. Not only that, if he sticks around long enough, they're going to continue paying him for as long as he lives, even after he's stopped working. I think this is exactly what breeds the frustratingly sloppy attitude of employees at any government or municipal run office. One visit to the local RTO and you'll know exactly what i mean. I don't really blame the employees that much. It's simply human nature, at least for the larger section of society, to be content wit...

The Name's Blog, Web-Log

Image
Having successfully survived the initial craze of blogging , i'll have to admit that this was rather unexpected. Yet here i find myself, having created a blog and now about to publish my first post. Kind of like losing your virginity, though not quite as exciting. Honestly, i've never really understood the concept of a blog, but i'm hoping to learn soon enough. Journals and diaries have inherently been a very private affair, so the concept of a public journal is rather ingenious. I recently even heard the term "Blook" being used, which, in case you don't know or haven't already guessed, is some sort of book written and published via a blog. I'm sure they could have coined a better name for it. Quite a novel idea (forgive the bad pun) anyway and i think it might actually help aspiring writers like myself. After all, when you're going to be an engineer you really have to consider alternative career options. So if there's a slump in the IT industr...

As long as it's Red

On the occassion of Holi - a post dedicated to the phenomenon that is Colour . My very first box of crayons had exactly six colours in it. SIX. I hadn't learnt to count by then but i wondered nonetheless, how i would ever be able to remember all their names. When i was a little older, my teacher informed me that there existed, in fact, seven colours, all VIBGYOR of them (Not counting black and white, for they are not considered as colours at all). Somehow, to me the concept of how the rainbow was formed seemed a lot simpler than trying to distinguish between violet and indigo. One of my later boxes of crayons had over 30 colours, including at least 5 shades of yellow and 8 shades of blue. It was then that i decided i'd stick to the 7 that i knew and hopefully my life will never depend on having to identify various shades of them. However, i soon realised that this definitely wasn't the case with everyone else i knew, least of all the female species. Women somehow seem to l...
