This Started Out As Studying For IP Exam I Swear

This blog is random in content. Very random, if I may add. The point of this blog is nothing. I don’t know, actually. Maybe by the end of it, this will all make some sense. But who is to know?

I swear I started out studying for the IP exam. But I just couldn’t get myself to care enough about computer networking to be not bored.

Zodiacs are mostly bullocks. They’re very arbitrary. They are designed to be vague and open for interpretations. And in some cases, if you notice closely enough, the positive and negative traits would actually contradict each other. And these horoscopes rarely say bad things about you. Probably the more good things you tell people the more they believe you. In any case, they have a striving business, astrologers. Not to be confused with astronomers. I don’t know how much money astronomers make. Do let me know if you find out.

Astrology is not a science.

If you notice the group dancers in opening songs of huge heroes like, say, Rajinikanth, you’ll find them dancing (which in itself is something Mr. Superstar doesn’t do) with so much more emotion and grace than Mr. Superstar himself. And that, for some reason on Earth, I find hilarious. Especially that Devuda… song from Chandramukhi, the fair dude on Mr. Superstar’s left (while facing the TV) emotes so much more than anybody else on the set xD

Other things you will find funny about TV, other than the intended funny things (not all intended to be funny things are funny, but that’s another tale) are when you mute while watching old movies especially the ones with Sivaji Ganesan. He emotes “so well” (so the elders like to put it; but I say he over emotes every single scene) that when muted he beats the living hell out of Charlie Chaplin’s dialog-less slapstick humour.

Speaking of funny and humour, I revived by passions for the hit TV series Seinfeld recently. You gotta love ‘em, man. The New York sarcastic (of which I came to know only because of this show) humour that we all love however much we try to hide it. They’re insensitive, sarcastic and in the process very funny. Jerry made me feel like I’ve accomplished something humungous in life when I first ate Cheerios. “Oh look at me, I’m eating Cheerios. Maybe I’ll grow more sarcasm, get an apartment in New York and make a funny TV show someday”. Here’s to Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza , Cosmo Kramer and Elaine Benes for bringing some laughter into my life.

These pretzels are making me thirsty! (Refer Seinfeld Season 3 Episode 11 “The Alternate Side”)
