No!!
This post is not about IPL and how Chennai lost
I am not going to talk about how a very enthusiastic girl sat down to follow the semi finals bewteen bangalore and chennai on saturday night
I am not going to talk about how a very shocked girl watched in disbelief as hayden walked out after his wicket was taken away cruelly
I am not going to talk about how a very worried and agnostic girl prayed like hell for ross taylor to get out
I am not going to talk about how a devastated girl looked forlornly at the running fan and a strong dupatta and contemplated the unspeakable
I am not going to talk about how a shameless girl unabashedly supported the deccan chargers and whooped with joy when DC won over RCB
I am not going to talk about how an EXTREMELY racist girl thought "I am glad a south indian team won the IPL this time"

No sir!! I am not going to talk about any of those because personally i feel that the IPL is nothing but a disgusting money making scheme where human beings are stored like livestock and no self respecting human being should demean himself/herself by watching it!!

Why didnt Chennai win the IPL???!!
waaaaaaaaaah!! :(:(
 
 

So one of my school friends err acquaintances errr sowrn enemy rather is getting married on a reality show or rather trying to find a partner on a reality show!! :-O :-O
I mean I have never heard of anything THIS ridiculous in ages!!! I never credited her with much intelligence but this is heights!!!
How can you choose your life partner in front of 2 billion people??
How can you showcase your "life partner preferences" and the "kind of guy/girl" to the whole country???
How can you portray your desperation to the entire country??
and finally HOW CAN YOU MARRY SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN CONSIDERED BY EVERY OTHER PERSON IN THE COUNTRY AS A PROSPECTIVE LIFE PARTNER!!! Jeeeeeeeeez!!!

and the article says
 
"Star Vivaah is earning brownie points also because of its format. While earlier shows looked at showing the entire process of matchmaking on screen, this one just advertises the profile of the respective girl or boy"

Waah waah!! how magnanimous. Which means you only make the boy and the girl meet on the show but dont actually zoom in the camera each time they go out thereby giving them "full privacy"
Hah!!!
Just imagine the plight of a boy and girl who met on such a show
They are sitting in a restaurant holding hands, looking into each others eyes and generally doing all the gooey stuff that young lovers do and are expected to do and suddenly someone comes up and says "Sir, aap wohi ho na jisne Star Vivaah pe ladki dekhi thi. Yehi aapki item hai? Mast. mai bhi soch raha hoon ussi show pe shaadi karoon" *blushes*

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

Every time you step out of the house, every person who has a TV and a cable connection and watches soppy reality shows in India would know who you chose, where you met, when u got engaged and got married, when you first held hands...
Whatever happened to privacy and personal space!!!!!!!!

Reality shows for singing - ok - showcases talent
Reality shows for dancing - fine
Reality shows for losing weight - errrr
but Reality shows for finding your "soul mate" - HEIGHTS!!!

oh BTW here is the article

But well, Me seriously feels the fellow who murders Ravi shastri, rameez raja and the entire host of commentators/presenters of IPL deserves a bigger prize! They kept hawking IPL like pavement shopkeepers!! every match was 'a humdinger', every six was 'dlf maximum' gosh!!!

And what? marriage on TV?? Ne'er knew such shows existed and moreover ppl participated in 'em. next they may come up with a show which chooses schools for kids etc!! preposterous I tell ja!
