TV...

First Sunday in more than a month i wasn't in college working or at home working. AD jury was bad. Hate myself for not fighting when arguing is something ive become infamous for. Nodded my head like a cow when the jurors ripped my concept apart. Anyways u win some u lose some i guess...

Saw TV without work interruptions. Watched absolute crap all day without hatching/rendering/lettering/pasting models etc etc etc. Three things are big this week apparently: one, Carol Gracias top falling off; two: India winning another one-dayer (which should make us forget 100 all out at Mumbai just a week and half back); three: all kinds of Sufi music inhabiting all music channels.
From Himesh Reshammiya's apparently Sufi inspired dog-yelps to Kailash Kher's intoxicating 'Teri Deewani', its become BIGGGGG. Add to this a number of Paki bands which are basically selling the same Sufi wine in a new bottle. Makes one think: if all those Muslim fanatics find out that Sufi actually started from 12th century Islamic devotional songs, what would they do? In fact, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (who must probably be the first guy to popularise this music form) used original Sufi songs and simply changed the addressee. Afreen Afreen with the hot Lisa Ray is actually a song in praise of Allah...
Well, i cannot continue without hot topic number 2. How many times has this happened? We lose 3 million matches in a row and then win 1. Just 1. And then the hype starts flowing again. ive read one journalist who one day calls us 'contenders along with Bangladesh and Zimbabwe for worst team' and then says 'this team is surely the favourite for World Cup 2007'. A mercurial team in a country of dal-badlus.. quite befitting wont u say?
Hot Topic Number 1: Carol Gracias' Wardrobe Malfunction.. poor girl! Now she's in the same category as the DPS girl and Riya Sen. Blame wars going all around. 'The designer shouldve designed better', 'The model shouldve checked the dress', 'It's all because of media hype'... OH GOD! GROW UP!! This 'wardrobe malfunction' was not Janet Jackson's top getting ripped off by Justin Timberlake. This was equivalent to one forgetting to draw up one's zipper after using the bathroom. i haven't seen a single MMS of that!
