I was just getting up on the MMTS and i was thinking about what am i gonna talk wid the kids in the class.....the first thing which connects them wid me ..is the religion..its nt hinduism...islam ..u gt it rt..is cricket....!!!!!wat else.....second place may go to the talk about movie stars..i.e all the superstars and megastars of south india.....they call it tollywod..and the scope may also extend to WWE...superstars...in which only a hanful of them are interested...but....number is good enough...to bet a mention in the list ..of things we like.....
Then i start thinking....is this connection...excitement...fan following....going to bring them any good at this stage....
Its so disconnected....the very ppl..who can do nothing ...absolutely..nothing...120% nothing...(i dont comment on whether they want to do smthng or not..).....they love to talk about them...idolize them..worship them..put them in their bedrooms...and wht not...!!!
They say media and press is for connecting masses....i doubt..or may be i am too sceptical.....they are ...spresding more diconnectedness..in the society ...especially among the kids..
with so much of exposure to media..right from the beginning....and given our hit-centric culture....the idolization...is inevitable...
The thing that comes out is that ..if they show same kind of connection...wid themselves..they will go far ahead....or ..atleast ...they can go...much farther in life..than they will go ..worshipping their icons....
I may sound narcissist......may be selfish..just thinkin..bout oneself..
but i call it....being constructively selfish....!!!!!!!
The whole essence of the term"constructively selfish"..lies in the first word..rather than the second...it constructs ...everybody ..around...its that kind of selfishness....
all this time u tried .....being selfish..but hey...lets try this kind of selfishness....and hope ..its much better than the previous one.....
Getting back to the children.....i dont blame ...if they absorb the exposure they are given...as they are doing ..(most of them...).....Its ..the responsibility...of the elders...or may be peers...(if they are peer enough...)to ...make...children realize....!!!!!!
Now..i pause ..and think.....why only children.....look around and we can see....disconnected ....adults.....who love living .....disconnected......!!!!!!!
Now u will say ...why to bother..about ..these ..disconnected....ppl......!!!!!!!
The situation...gets worsen..when...u have to spend most of your time....wid these type of ..entities.....!!!!!
And finally..the only way....to refute..my argument.....is may to b call me the MOST DISCONNECTED PERSON.............!!!!!!!!!so go ahead nd decide for yourself.............
