In the
recent times, its observed, human race is as stressed and bored as it never
was. Psychologists hold many reasons accountable including busy lifestyles,
work pressure and stuff, but another completely ignored factor, “information
overload” also contributes significantly to stress and boredom. I have listed
out top 5 totally ignorable things, that are responsible for almost 80% of current
information overload in our lives and can be easily kept at bay.
5.) Just when you thought media is over
and done with its incessant Bachchan rant, in form of painfully cheesy headers
of "Abb Tak Bachchan" and "Buddha Tera Baap" sorts,
Bachchans get more innovative. Coining of term "Beti B" is example of
purely an uncreative and exhaustive piece of entertainment journalism.
Cooperating with media, Bachchans have left no stone unturned to produce a
legacy bearing child even before her birth. From publishing the dates of baby
showers to inviting suggestions for baby names!!!! Really!? We don't think
anyone gives a hoot over such achievements. So we give best regards to
Bachchans for their future endeavours to clutter our TV screens and magazines, but
hello! I have the remote control remember? Click!! Will someone tell me show
timings for Adam's family?
4.) Just now, we effectively learnt to
shoo off attention seeking celebrities, we might as well use same tricks to
ignore this first son who sports a perennial loserish expression from ear to
ear. Most political legacy holders have still kept low key unlike Bollywood,
however the one that defies the trend is one who knows no bounds of nonchalance
that is iced with sheer stupidity. A national disaster of the proportions of
Rahul Gandhi in highest political echelons can only be avoided by totally
forgetting the existence of such threat, only if you believe in Modern day
philosophical SECRETS. Otherwise all you need is a little movement of finger.
No, not to show it to anyone, just to press your remote key.
3.) Before Mahesh Bhatt gets on to me for biasing someone for her profession, here are my apologies for
not including him in nominations, its all merit based you see. The
Indo-Canadian porn star may have sparked the excitement of men from all ethnic
and social backgrounds, but watching Sunny Leon pretend awfully innocent and
cute is something, for what you will need dozens of hajmolas to shove down your
stomach. Agreed, she is great at what she does and all that jazz, but I am
afraid unless we have really skewed understanding of women empowerment, the
third most irrational thing to ignore is Sunny Leone in the house of Big Boss.
Yes, and if we want some sex education for our kids, there are many safer
tutorials available on Internet almighty.
2.) Past few days
on Facebook have been overwhelming for how our responsible netizens
have displayed a sense of virtual patriotism. Be it the difference in petrol
prices across neighbouring countries, parliamentary expenses or
expenses on the VVIP prisoner Ajmal Kasab. Had it been for the most of us,
Kasab wouldn't have inhaled a breath after the surrender, but however
unfortunate it is, we need to accept the fact that the bench of Supreme Court
judges don't bother to browse through our FB status messages, and we need to
move on and divert our focus from a sadistic murderer to rather more enjoyable
things, just like we will, while on dance floor on New Year's Eve.
1.) By the time this post materializes most of you would have
given into this temptation already, however, even if I am not getting paid for
it, I will throw at thee, these pearls of wisdom. There is a buzz about studio
jam sessions being the next big thing in music industry, which as well might be
true, as long as its music. But watching bunch of groggy star-kids trying
to glorify a racist and sexist song is another thing. Kolaveri after getting
its renditions in all Indian languages and dialects seems most arduous task to
be ignored this New Year. The way song has become an instant hit is not a factual
evidence of its musical genius. Right now while the whole nation croons
Kolaveri Di, we should realize, this preposterous monologue is as much a
song as nargis fakri an actress. Beating all the strong contenders this song
outnumbers the charts today among top most things to be ignored this winter.
However, a remote control wouldn't be much help here; a few technical lessons
in content block on social networking sites will come handy.
