There are two types of people in this world. - Well, its not what I am saying. Its what Abhishek Bachaan, a not so-famous, not so-handsome, not so-happening film actor of Bollywood have said in one of his hit films, Bunty and Bublee. God, when was it released? Must be five years or more. Ok, I'd rather say, there are three types of bloggers in this universe. One, who writes in joy, two who writes in sorrow and three, the others who writes because they do not have any other things to do.
Most of our celebs falls in the last category. They breaks their daily monotone by simply 'catching up with their fans'. Its a tedious job. And in the years of economic downturn, its not so affordable to keep a secretary just to type a blog for you. No wonder, Twitter has become so popular. You have 140 characters to phrase what you want to say. And then you will get all the attention you want. Your fans will start fanning around you and you will be highly amused. And two or three of the lucky fans will be glad to see their tweets has been retweeted by the stars, despite their not so interesting humor. Its also really funny to observe how these celebs follow each other. Rather, its really interesting to obseve who doesn't follow whom. For last two weeks Lata an Asha have spend time namasteying each other. Both of them has generously spend an ample amount of ashirvaads to new gen singers like Sonu, Shreya and Sunidhi. Javed Akhtar is behaving like a miser and keping all the ashirvaads to himself. Sometimes, writing one or two lines of not so-classy shayeri and getting all wah-wahs he requires in life. The show goes on and on.
About the first two category. Well, these are common people. Some have been dumped by their girlfriends - the losers. Some are out of their jobs - the losers again. Some feels its really nice to poke your nose in every other peoples business and behave like you have an opinion ranging from price of potatoes to Indo-USA nuclear deal. I am not listing out other extremeties, in fear that I may bore you. Which, eventually I am planning to do. Ok, just a single one - from why France was ousted from this years world cup to who will win the next East Bengal - Mohon Bagan tie. What, u didn't realize I am soccer fan before?
Now, the question is what category do I fall into? I am not a celeb. Thats obvious. Otherwise I would have joined the competetion of gathering fans. (To be truthful, I want to become a celeb. Ok, don't laugh and please... snorting makes disgusting noises.) So, you can rule me out of the third category. Now frankly speaking I have been dumped by my girlfriend a long time ago. And thats also, obvious too. Who would like to marry a fat frog? I am a mirror-cracking material. And no Pinks and Blues can restore me. I am a permanent damaged radio. See, I told you, I will bore you. So, is that why am I blogging? Nopes, I have learned to live with that. So, do I have a opininon on everything? Yes, I have. But I keep that to my irritated friends. CPM-Trinamool, Brazil-Argentina, Sourav-Sachin. You just name a controversy. I will be there. And if you mistakenly ever start the I-love-Bengal vs I-hate-Bengal topic, sorry mate, you are inviting your death yourself. But seriously, my friends are more worried than you.
So, where do I really belong? I will tell you why I spend my time writing blogs. I write because I love to write. Thats a fourth category you haven't thought. Thats how I express myself. Thats what I am. Hope, I will start boring you soon with my depressing writings. I am yet to write a crime thriller and more naturally have a flare for Karan Johar style, you can say. And, I will start boring you too soon. I have just written a Bengali poem. Beware of the next post.
