Valentine's day gossip

With the valentines day approaching the thought - political maniacs going in the streets and beating couples makes me petrified of the fact that if I am spotted with a girl on the V-day, I might just be beaten black and blue and it might become my D-day. And the first timers trying their hand at dating might just stay at home with their family- poor virgins. There is one MP who has given a positive response. Maybe the fact that he has daughters makes his softer on the radical agenda or maybe his female fans. A female fan recently said to him “I love you, Laluji. You have a unique style. I would like to meet you somewhere,”. SOMEWHERE!!!-But where?? Hmmm... Now thats what I call an astute politician.
Another lover who came out in the open was the male muscle of Dostana-John. John Abraham went on record and said that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is the sexiest woman by eons and light years and he would love her to death. I wonder what poor Robert might be thinking. It's sometimes best not to have a pretty wife. Arbaaz Khan is another poor victim of his own desire.
But some people have wooed their babes by buying out cricket teams. Raj Kundra brought 12% stake in IPL team Rajasthan Royals for Big Brother's sister Shilpa Shetty. His spendings- $15.4million (around Rs 75 crore). - Love is blind is a euphemism for such platinum spoon sons willing to shell xxx money out for a flop out of business actress.
Media too is cooking a fairy tale in a thorny recession. A picture of Barkha and Prannoy Roy is creating ripples in media sphere. Sometimes the Indian masses (and classes) have a tendency to stretch a thing for too long.
That makes me feel drowsy and take a turn to our nuclear partners. Michael Phelps- that god gifted strangely human kid who won a staggering number of Gold Medals in Beijing and Greece has a pic published smoking a Marijuana Bong. Woah! What a healthy diet. But the leader of the "Yes we can clan" (Barack Hussein Obama) too admitted that he tried drugs as a teen. Is it a tried and tested approach or what ? Maybe Michael Phelps is in the running for the president elections; he might beat his older suit bosses by miles. Obama has also come again in the news for a weight loss comment on Jessica Simpson-The babe who became too heavy. Obama's star power can well take a U-turn on this.
Thats it for today's gossip. Keep reading for more such gossip.

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.
