Where is the Music???

MTV originally stood for Music Television Videos. However, I am not too sure how relevant the name is in today’s times, for there is hardly any music! And the credit goes to the numerous reality shows that are telecasted on the channel.

Splitsvilla, Splitsvilla re-runs, Teen Diva, Roadies, Roadies re-runs, the Fast and the Gorgeous, Stunt Mania and MTV Connected – all these shows have hijacked the channel. To be frank, I really loved a few of these shows. But that was because there was a novelty factor. All this was new once upon a time. Now, every channel has a reality show which is on similar lines more or less. So, even if I happen to miss any show, I don’t need to fret. I can catch a similar version with the same abuses and politics and tasks by just flipping the channel.

The point here is not the reality shows in general. It’s about MTV. I love MTV and Channel V for its music. Clearly, Channel V has no competition now.

Now I need to get a life :):)

Wow! It was so awesomely fake! I don’t even know why I watched it! Lol...

I still cannot digest the fact that Rakhi can be shy also. The coy smiles that she gives, the flittering of her eyelashes, the petite damsel picture that she portrays – all this is so unbelievable. If people label her as the most happening item girl, then clearly, she is also a good actress!

The number of publicity stunts she pulls is shocking. She even wept on television when she was asked about her ex-boyfriend. All the gifts that her prospective grooms give are also known to us. She decides the groom on the basis of certain questions asked. Oh c’mon Rakhi, if I was to be selected on what I am to answer, I would have won long time back!!

I am fine with the concept of getting married on television. It’s her personal choice. But when I was glued to the TV watching it, I surely felt that I need to get a life! In spite of me criticising it so much, I still saw it *wink* She sure knows how to use the media to her benefit.

Complications of Love

Watching Love Aaj Kal forced me to think about this funda of long distance relationships. In the movie, they say that long distance relationships don’t work. I so not agree with the comment. Seeing the million (okay, a little exaggerated figure) couples that I have known, I believe that the basis on which a relationship might work or no is totally subjective. It depends on how the two lovers carry it. Because for all you know, a relationship might not work if you are together all the time!

Distance is essential to let love nurture. To let one realise the value of another. To let one analyse the importance of having a loved one in life. If one is madly in love, then distance or no-distance - it simply doesn’t matter! Staying away can surely create problems and a whole lot of misunderstandings. But that alone cannot determine whether love will last or not.

I have seen couples break up because of not being able to meet often and then again, there are these couples who got ‘bored’ because they were always together. Why is love - the simplest, the most basic emotion in life - so complicated?!

And what is this with people loving the people who are hard to get! How ironic is that! Why do we always run behind things that are so difficult to achieve? And why, once we get it, we are not interested?

Why are we all so frikking confused?

Why run for it in the first place?!?!
