HoW rEal Is iT?!


Imagine Priyanka Chopra disscussing fashion with you,or getting married like a celebrity on television?? These are the few things that might have seemed next to impossible a few years back! But today there is a dramatic change in Television where fiction meets reality.
These shows broke the path of the regular soaps and created a genre of their own.They are the biggest money grossers with high TRP ratings on prime time television.People cant help take notice of these shows!
But how real are these reality shows?
Many at times they give away the feel of "scripted".The main recipe of these shows remains the same as the soaps : catfights,betrayal and scheming.The so called dance shows have high TRPs not because of the dance the particpant but because of the way they are mocked by the judges,how good is that?On certain shows contestants get verbally abused,use of foul language is a common here.Some shows made the system of marriage a joke.! There is a reality show on everything from makeovers to switching ur position with a celebrity,taking care of babies or making kids sing!
To top it all viewers are asked to SMS on these things,but are they really electing the winner of the show based on this ? how can we know?Game shows and talent hunt shows have their own brand of emotional contrivance.
How ever everyone one of us gets glued to one reality show or the other. But as viewers we must be careful enough  not to buy to whatever is being showed and see the thin line. BUT...........

Love them or hate them surely cant ignore them! ;-)

know them know life no them no life..!


" A friend in need is friend in deed!"

 I heard this quote when i was i was around 8.At that time i never really understood what it meant.Those were the days when i used to think friend is the one who lends u an eraser keeps cracking  jokes and is with you always sort of way.But now my perspective about this changed drastically.My friends or my pals n buddies as i call them gave me a new beginning.I owe this piece of work to them.!
Few months back i was all broken down and lost totally confused and brooding about some nasty thing that happend to me.People warned me something like that would happen but i never really paid attention to that not even my friends.Finally the doomsday came i was left in the middle of no where not ready to face anybody not ready to speak always lost in thoughts n finally ended up getting so sick that i was put on I.Vs.That was the time when my buddies came up! 
When i refused to get up from the fallen place they pulled me out,the bulldozed me and did all that they could to bring me to what i am now.When i kept saying i was cheated,betrayed n all they kept telling me ul neva hav 2 face somethin like that from us!They lent me their shoulders to cry out my soul.They held on tight when i kept nagging to leave me alone.Helped me to see what reality was.I hurt them but they din take that to heart,understood my condition.They encouraged n supported me.That was the time when i realized how lucky i was to have them.I might have lost something precious but i also gained something  prizeless..!
To my buddies thanq very much for helping me through those dark tunnels,showing me the lantern of hope.Today i understand what that proverb meant a friend is not the one who is there with you when ur in ur best states but the one whoz with u in ur worst one!Someone who tells you when ur wrong.When the whole world sees the smile on your lips ur friend also sees the pain in your eyes.I'm glad to have such friends....!!

To my pals ....."when i am alone..I open ma palm nd look at the criss cross lines...I alwayz think which one of these made me so lucky that I got such chweet friendzz..!"
