hum bhi agar bacche hote...

saw TZP...remembered forgotten dreams..wonder if they'll ever be realised...

The AC is droning in my barely 150 sq ft office...sparsely populated today because it happens to be a sunday which is good because i get to take over a computer without the guilt pangs or someone annoyingly peeping over my shoulder...and the three television sets are set onto three of the supposedly best hindi news channels in the country right now...nope mine isnt one of them...just sometime back one had a repoter from gujarat screeching about modi's win over the celebratory music in modinagar/ahmedabad...another flashed news about shahrukh khan getting a haircut so that his famous (???) ponytail is no more with us...and a third ran a half hour special on rakhi sawant's nakhre (theres no word in english that describes what she does) after losing nach baliye...i dont even wanna think abt what my channel is playing...why doesnt the government just pass that damned bill so all of us can rest in peace...its abt time we have gag orders in place so we dont climb 10 feet walls to get the bachchan family reaction on vivek oberoi making it to teji bachchan's funeral...the dead woman is being creamated goddamit and delhi wants us to ask yash chopra and ramesh sippy 'aapko kaisa lag raha hai'...and if we got amitabh or abhishek's byte i'd even bag a raise...

and tomorrow i'm going to either speak to friends of a young girl who died while she was on a trek or work on christmas special stories...and to think of it somebody told me journalism was a noble profession...
