I have a habit of reading.....just about anything apart from those dreaded Romance novels. I have worked in press and while going through the checklist the most hilarious bit was going through the titles of these books, would really want to know who comes up with those and what is going through the persons mind at that time. This however is not what the point of this piece is though, but then I never have a point to prove anyways. Coming back to reading, well reading is considered good but sometimes it has its drawbacks too, especially if your work involves magazines and the majority of them being the good ol' women's gossip ones. There is no way you can not know what the latest is about say,Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton to name a few, what they have been up to or into or even onto!! Now I am not complaining because it does keep you entertained at work and it can help you talk to the ladies now and then, mind you some do look at you in a queer (no pun intended) way.
So now that you have a clue what a chronic reader I can be, yes I also read sane stuff as non fiction and not just about Britney and her oops I did it for the nth time again cover title.....yes I get bored right after reading the cover titles of those "stupid people pay money to buy this crap" magazines. So coming back to reading, one of the things I always enjoy reading, well most of the times anyways, is those reader's comment on the articles which almost every article on the net has these days. People slug it out at one another post after post trying to prove a point which in almost 99% cases don't even relate to the article. Just an hour back I was reading this article about the agonizingly annoying (you may also replace that with irritating if you want) Himesh trying to get the abs allegedly duplicating SRK, like no one else ever had 6 packs, am sure my friend John usually prefers cartons to the six packs but then those are beers and these are abs and abs involve lots of hard work and give a better look than the beer belly john sports(sorry john but you're the only fictional real man who could fit the scenario, the others were too real to reveal and avoid a lawsuit) but then that another story. So going back to Himesh, even though it is tormenting, the article was all about him and when I got to the comments after the article that was where there was real battle going on, some guy posted a comment about "Saanwariya" (this post is so full of pain and torture now, I am actually beginning to feel bad for the people reading it!) made so much money....yeah right.....for the innocent and nice people, that was me being sarcastic with those two words, and then a chic went on to praise SRK and that was it.......the whole thing turned into a battleground with the war of words touching everything from lack of English skills to being a modern day snobby bitch (sic) with an army of boyfriends looking down at others to being so hit down with inferiority complex that they think those things about others and not look at themselves, all while some real losers and I mean real life losers filled in the space with some out of place swearing which would cost them a little more than they think if they were in jail!! All in all it was about 15 minutes of pure nonsensical (if that is a word...if not I just created one!!) entertainment which killed some of my not so precious time and gave me some more insanity to live with! So until next time keep reading and keep trying your luck with a bit of insanity!
