Ideas and opinions…

Y’day I caught a snippet of the show “Koffee with Karan” where Shilpa Shetty was holding forth on how shocked she was at the tabloid journalism of the Indian press (compared to the British) vis-a-vis her presence on “Big Brother”. One line of her’s did get my attention when she said “[…] and here I was representing India” – now last I checked reality TV shows were not like some national events. Individuals participate in them in order to make a nice pot of money (nothing wrong in that) and it so happens that these individuals are nationals of some country. Since when did this tenuous connection equate with “representing the country” ? This is the kind of air-headed jingoism that prevails and strangely is encouraged.

I suck – big time I might add

I am sick and I know it. And that precise point makes me more sick – knowing what the cause is yet being unable to (or perhaps unwilling to) do a remedy. I have not taken a proper “vacation” for the past 4 years now, not really taken a week off where I really really sleep – and the daily chaos is taking its toll. For a week now the head or rather the brain feels like it is going to explode or pop out of the head and if I could keep it outside my skull for a moment it would be a good thing to do. This sucks…
