SMS “SAURAV” to 0000

As I had a lot of time to kill, I was wondering, what is the huge population of this country up to nowadays? Well, to talk of all the possibilities is very difficult. So let me touch upon the two most important ones. Other than trying hard to multiply the already existing population, that is.

The first and foremost is cell phones. A brain child of technology. It, as a market, is growing in leaps and bounces. Full of players trying hard to make hay while the sun shines. Leading the pack is Nokia and Sony erricson. Behind them come a huge heap of lesser players that include LG, Phillips, BenQ and a lot more. People nowadays are so crazed about these things that literally everybody wants a piece of it. Its popularity is so huge, that in a couple of years, people reckon it would be as important to a person as a TV is for a family. A perfect example of when it rains, it pours. So many brands and so much variety, only the manufacturers know the difference. So many features. Bluetooth, GSM, IR.. And a lot more. I bet, half of them don’t even know that their phone has these functions. They buy it because his/her friend bought it or it is damn costly.

Now comes the question. What do they do with it? They vote. They don’t bother voting in the election but the citizens of the country vote for who looks hotter, John Abraham or Sauruv Ganguly. A tough one indeed. They aren’t sure of who should lead their country, but they are very sure who Aishwarya Rai is currently dating. She, herself, badly needs some help.

The next culprit is TV Serials. They suck. Seriously they do. Who watches a show that in the very first episode has a female crying because she lost her child? Half the country does. The other half is still guessing who to vote for, John or saurav and for which question. People cry, I do agree but is it mandatory we need to cry daily watching some female, who unfortunately is bit too old or not glamorous enough for cinema, (lack of acting talent is universal in both cinema and sops) making a mess of a very serious character. Here too, there is a bunch of people who watch it to win the sms competition at the fag end of the show. Who is to blame for all this??? It isn’t the directors, producers, the actors but the people who watch this crap. Demand creates supply. More the people who watch this stuff, more the people who want to make money out of it. Now, if you excuse me, I am late for my 7:30 show. Where’s my make up kit???
