Alternative career choices for 5 Indian celebrities

Statutory Warning : You might just fall asleep or have a nervous breakdown while reading this post

The one interesting thing that happened today was a comment by possibly a Pakistani, who called me a stupid for calling the Pakistan PM a joker in a previous post and suggested an alternative career for me.
Better you sell sing outside a bus stop or railway stations rather than posting your meaningless scraps here.
I was watching Fantastic 5 on MTV today and Cyrus Sahukar (the anchor), shared 5 alternative careers for 5 "celebs" including Shilpa Shetty, Raja Choudhary, Irfan Pathan,Upen Patel & Subhash Ghai.
I have my own list of five celebrities, who have performed abysmally and I strongly feel that they need to search for an alternative career, for the betterment of everybody.

  • 1. Rakhi Sawant : This twat has now become a sore in the eye and a pain in the ear. Its advisable to press the mute button on TV when she is on air, and those implants of her occupying maximum screen space. Enough about Rakhi now. The alternative career she can choose is to be a teacher in the school for deaf and blind. The deaf or blind or both will want to get out of the school to have a better company. seems lame haa... just like Rakhi
  • 2. Rahul Dravid : I would not like to write him off completely but yes, he needs to start early looking for an alternate option, else he might not even get the goodbye that Ganguly managed. I’d suggest he join as an executive in Kissan or other Jam making company. Brand endorser free with a manager in recession would be good deal.
  • 3. Raj Thackeray : After his attention gathering stint he has only become a kid trying to play with fire and caught in a bad situation. The Mumbaikars might just beat him up if they see him on the road. As an alternate career he can become the gardener (His cleaning skills are good) in his own lawn as it is too risky for him to work outside his premises.
  • 4. Barkha Dutt : This news anchor has been facing a lot of flak from quite a few people, from all quarters for her insensitivity to the victims and her role in the terror attacks that helped the terrorists kill more hostages(Speculated claim). She has also been condemned as the images of her location, when broadcast on TV, helped the Pakistani forces to destroy an artillery platform and kill three Indian soldiers.She has some supporters like Shobhaa De too. For an alternate career, she can become a teacher at a journalism school and teach the students, what not to do in journalism.
  • 5. Subhash Ghai : There is just a one liner for him. “Quit ASAP”. He can join hands with Ekta Kapoor and not necessarily change his field. Times have been hard for Ekta, with her two torturing serials wasting more than an hour of airtime. He can help better that record, or even better, worsen it.

I hope you guys don’t have to go through more of such silly stuff by me in future. This is lame; if I’ve bored you, check out other cooler stuff. Today has been a sleepy day, worsened by the pollution and smog in Delhi. I am planning to take a short sabbatical from blogging to refresh my thoughts and get over with the mist of terrorism and Elections.

Giving the finger to a scripted life!

It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age. ~ Warren Buffet. You have plans for your life, career etc. You've built an entire script but what is this based on? Scott at Ted talks about how almost 80% of the people around the world don't like the job they do. In his career, he found one day that most of the job he did was automated by his competitors. Building the resume was clearly not way forward. It was during that time he he heard the quote by warren buffet, " It's crazy to take jobs just because they look good on your resume. That's like saving sex for your old age ". This was when he left his job. While there are know universities, which talk about finding your passion, Scott talks about a lens that can help in finding the job we love.

Twitter and the world of hate - Delhi Gang Rape

Common wisdom says that venting out reduces frustration. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs help us achieve the same. While what normally starts as a "venting out" experience, I suspect is turning out to be an anguish enhancer. When I look at trending topics on twitter all what I see is a world of "Hate". Small pieces of hate messages turn out to be a big collective bunch of hate. Take the case of Delhi gang rape and some ill-minded comments of politicians and spiritual gurus. What started as scattered bickering remarks against a comment made by "Asaram" has now become a full fledged ball of rage. This rage was "non-directional", had no agenda and was oriented towards sarcasm and wit. While Delhi gang rape highlights poor governance, societal problems and problems of law and order, venting out on a forum that accumulates the frustration by many such people only adds to the low well-being. It is time we use some discretion and post messages that...

Twitter vs. News - Effectiveness in building relations

Social Media has been termed as an effective way to build relationships. Brands are trying to harness this capability by building social presence on this new media. Celebrities today account for the maximum amount of followers on the web with twitter being a fine example for this. But is this new media effective in creating relationships with this vast list of followers, which celebrities often tend to have? In an interesting research by Lee and Jang , they explore the effectiveness of celebrities in building social presence on new media. They compare twitter and a news website to check the relative effectiveness of enhancing social presence. While the traditional PR machinery used by celebrities might give them news coverage, they contend that their tweets can reduce the barrier of relational development as compared to a news website. Their findings are counter-intuitive and very interesting.
