Joys Of Reality TV

I love reality TV and hate all those “Down with reality” people. Shut up, people.
Reality is good. Where else do you get a chance to make fun of real people? Whenever a new reality show starts, the first thing I do after figuring out the “who is who” is who is likely to be the most stupid, who will fight with who, etc. Although sometimes I wonder how I’ll come across on reality TV. I don’t think I’ll look dumb on TV but I might look like an ass. I dread that. I think everybody should star in at least one reality show so they can see how bad or good a person they look on TV and then change themselves accordingly. Not that I think the people who have appeared on reality shows so far have learnt anything from their 15 mins of fame. (think Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth).

Reality is fun, people.

Flawless

I feel guilty for not being able to write my weekly post on RockStar:INXS and Picks of the Week. I didn’t get time because of the training. But the training was helpful. I got to analyze myself which I just love doing. We had a session where we had to make a list of all our strengths and weaknesses and others in the group were supposed to tell us the ways in which we can overcome those weaknesses. Or something like that. So anyway, making a list of my strengths and weaknesses was one of the easiest things I’ve ever had to do. I mean who know me better than myself and I am very self-aware. I won’t talk about my strengths here because that might seem pompous but I can talk about my weaknesses. So my list consisted of: Inflexibility, low concern for others (these two are on the basis of the personality form that I had my project leader and two friends fill up), snobbery and unfriendliness. To my surprise, the people in my group, people who I don’t know, readily agreed that I was a snob and that I ignored people who I don’t know. Didn’t see that coming. Heh. They all unanimously agreed that I am a coolheaded guy buy also that I look like I get angry easily. So a pact has been made that I will say hi and talk to them even after three months.

It was on Friday that I also realized that I might have a gambling problem.

This weekend I was mostly free to think about myself and I couldn’t help noting how much I’ve changed since I finished college last year. I am definitely not the same guy I was when I left Lucknow for Bangalore last July. Changes for the better, I suppose.

Eventful Thursday

I am just back from day one of training on “Discovering Potential”. It was fun. Soft skill trainings are always fun. You get to play games, meet people from your office who you never talk to and most importantly, not work. Had a good day. Since the training room of my office, the training is being conducted in the conference room of a hotel nearby which means I get to stay away from work and get to eat food that has not been rejected by street cows like we usually do in the office cafeteria.

There is a guy in the training who is full of himself. He did participate actively but also doodled, drew cartoons, copied the painting on the wall on a paper and ended the day by making a paper froggy (you know, the one that jumps if u put a finger on its back and press). Well, he isn’t that bad.

In other news, I was very amused yesterday while channel surfing to see that ETC has an “Artist Of The Month” like thingy called, and I kid you not, “Supermard”. Wow! Even superman would have sounded less dumb. Gawd!

I’m a little tired right now and have a slight headache, so that’s all for now.
