Musings...

No posts since past one and a half month! I know I might have committed a crime. This is never-never ever a passable or allowable act in the religion called Bloggerism! I'll not make an excuse of being busy or that nothing interesting happened in my LIFE. All I can say is that I was suffering from the conventional and communicative disease of laziness.

The first few words that ring in my ears, when I think about this ailment, are "Aalas Buri Bala Hai!" These age old words of wisdom have been passed down from generation to generation in one or the other way. Kabeer stated it as "Kaal kare so aaj kar, aaj kare so ab! Pal mein parlay hoegi, bahuri karega kab?" But now if someone would wake up and try to look around with open eyes, one would look at a bunch of closed eyes and hear loud snores and a plain chant of "Aaj kare so kaal kar, kaal kare so parson. Itni jaldi kya hai pyaare, abhi pade hain barson!"

Due to this LAZY factor, a new phenomenon is budding up! That is to achieve maximum possible in minimum possible time with minutest of efforts required. This is pretty much proved by the increasing number of reality shows that are populating the TV channels. What on observes is that these reality shows, now in there 2nd or 3rd seasons, are gradually becoming a platform for kids on the block. The average age of contestants is decreasing as the zeal to prove oneself at an early age is increasing tremendously. These little ones of around 16 or 17 years of age have barely achieved puberty and are right there in front of our eyes in all glitteratti and glamorous mode. I sometimes wonder, have I overslept or was I too Lazy to see this! :|
