Break Ke Baad

break-ke-baad-wallpaper-08-10x7
break-ke-baad-wallpaper
If only life were really like a hindi movie.  If you haven’t watched this film yet…spoiler alert. 
Let’s see… this movie has some decent songs, nothing I’m going to put on my mp3 player but they were ok to watch, the characters were fresh and nice to watch and the story line was not too bad.  Deepika desperately needs a new make up artist, or a new dermatologist because for someone so beautiful her skin is so lacklustre and the complete opposite of luminescent that it detracts from her beauty.  Step one is she needs some blush.
The only thing I have against this movie is once again the “love conquers all” theme seeps into the movie and ruins everything.  It started off okay showing the love between Aaliya?  and Gelato?… or was it Gulati? or maybe his name was Abhay?  Sorry AALIYA AND ABHAY there you go. 
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: They met when they were kids, had a mutual obsession for hindi movies… she was not your typical girl (other than the love for SRK and obsession for hindi movies bit).  She wasn’t the kind of girl who fantasized about her dream wedding lets just put it that way.  She applied to go to school in Australia without telling her mom and boyfriend and then she told her bf Abhay she wanted a break and kicked it to Australia.  He got insecure and clingy, subsequently she got mad, he followed her there, she got even more mad and officially broke up with him.  He stayed and refused to let go (or to leave the house she was sharing with 2 other roommates)…finally she thought he had moved on, he realizes she has moved on, she tells him to get married etc he leaves to go back to India.  He plans his wedding, the date is set everyone’s ready to roll, then she realized she actually did love him and flew back to India to propose to him only to find out that SURPRISE, he figured she would come back all along and the wedding that was scheduled was actually for the two of them.  They get married and live happily ever after.
I thought everything was pretty legit other than the end.  Aaliya seemed like a lot of people I know.  Sometimes people end relationships that they never thought that they would.  It’s hard for the Abhay’s of the world to deal with that and they often don’t believe it and so I thought it was interesting how they actually reflected this in the move.  I mean, Abhay was delusional in the movie.  I understand how he feels though… I mean you make promises to love a person no matter what, and to never let the relationship fail.  So all of a sudden when your love wants to end the relationship you think…is this just a test?  Didn’t I make a promise to never let this relationship end?  Maybe Aaliya thinks she wants a break up and then if I actually move on and she realizes that she made a mistake later, I gave up too early!  Maybe I’m supposed to wait this one out.  I mean, she loves me how can she not?  People expect you to realize that the relationship is over and to move on but do you just love a person and stop when they claim they stopped loving you?  Is that what love is…reliant on the other persons reciprocation?  Of course not!  That’s why you have to stick it through to the end Abhay!… love this person till you die and never love anyone else!  Until one day you wake up and realize… that she left you.  Something changes inside you after a certain amount of time and you realize…nothing can ever be the same again.  She left you, she didn’t want to try to sort it out, she was just done.  Finito.  And then you get somewhat mad.  You DO NOT make a fake wedding and chop her name on the wedding card “knowing” that she would come running from Australia to profess her love.  THIS IS THE PART OF HINDI MOVIES I HATE!!  It’s just not realistic.  And then when she does show up and she says she wants him back, HE DOESN’T EVEN YELL AT HER!  I would be like UM HELLOOOOO you forgot about all of this when you said we were done?  It would hurt too much to take you back and I don’t want to get hurt again?  Bye bye?  But no of course, they get married and live happily ever after. 
Bah humbug.  I’m going to bed.  Goodnight.  NO WAIT ONE MORE THING….WHAT KIND OF MESSAGE DOES THIS SEND KIDS?  Be a romantic, never move on with your life, have faith that the person who very calmly tells you she’s done is actually just confused?  That’s so wrong!  Honestly I would much rather the movie have shown them moving on and getting married to other people.  Sure maybe they wouldn’t love that person as much as they loved each other but that’s life.  It’s a good thing I’m not a script writer huh?  Everyone would leave my movies like whoa I can’t believe it ended like that and then everyone would lose hope in the goodness of life.  Well you know what they say about hope?  It breeds eternal misery.  On that bright note I bid you adieu.

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam-Kapoor-at-a-Breast-Cancer-Campaign-001
One good thing I can say about this girl is that:  She is not a whore. What exactly is a whore?  A whore is someone who does one of the following:
  • work as a prostitute
  • have unlawful sex with a whore
  • compromise oneself for money or other gains; "She whored herself to Hollywood"
At no point in her career be it on the silver screen or in her public appearances has Sonam Kapoor made herself out to be a whore.  She has to my knowledge never danced raunchily, worn indecent clothing or just in general come across as whorish.  In fact, this is the most indecent picture of her I could find:
sonam_kapoor_011
She has not sold herself, danced at receptions for $ or marketed a product she doesn’t believe in (for the most part).  I’m actually all of a sudden very impressed with this girl and I never was before.  One does not know a lot about her personal life or her friends and that’s saying something for a Bollywood celebrity! 
Watching the movie Aisha was when I realized that she was not a whore.  If it was anyone else in that movie (example: Priyanka Chopra), they would have showed a lot more skin, cleavage, legs… and I was impressed that Sonam didn’t.  Maybe it’s because Sonam’s family is well off and so she has never had to whore herself out whereas other girls have to do anything and everything to get their dream?  Maybe it’s because Sonam Kapoor is tall?  Maybe it’s because she likes fashion and so that translates into her being less hoochy than most Bollywood celebs?  I mean if you flip through any fashion magazine you would see that models usually aren’t arching their back to pop their booty and jut out their chests…they usually are bending their back forward as if they have a tummy ache.  High fashion (haute couture) isn’t really geared towards “looking hot” so naturally people who appreciate fashion such as Sonam, dress more to look chic than they do to look hot.  Sonam is the type of girl who dresses more for herself and other girls than she does for men.
Whatever the case, I’m glad that there is finally one person that girls can look up to in the Bollywood industry, and I am a little bit surprised to say this girl is Sonam.  Thus far I am impressed with the way she has handled her career and I’m getting sick of the other girls in Bollywood.  I miss the Rani’s, Kajols and Preity’s!  I miss the love stories.  I miss girls and guys who didn’t look like models and who just looked like NORMAL people with an edge.  The “normal” people that they have now (a.k.a the Genalia D’Souza type) are too average for my liking as they have no standout feature.  Rani looked normal but she had nice eyes and a beautiful smile, Preity had amazing dimples and a fresh faced quality..it seems like the only girls in Bollywood now are models or girls like Genalia who are just so BLAH!  As for the guys, they’re not even worth mentioning.  The original Khans are still the best and that’s really sad because they’re all like what 40 now?  FRESH TALENT NEEDED!
WAIT SIDE NOTE:  I think to enter this industry you have to have a certain amount of exposure in this day and age and I do not think girls who expose are worse than girls who don’t but basically I still think Sonam has handled herself well and it was worth a mention.

If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?

2 Random Quizzes I Found on the Internet

Thought I’d take a couple of quizzes on the internet since it’s the new year.  You might find this boring but I write for me so I can’t really apologize to you.  Happy New Year everyone!
1. Why not me?
I have no idea what this question is asking.  Why not me?… to do what?
2. Am I nice?
I think I am.  I’m not naturally as nice as some people because I’m kind of sarcastic but I’m not fake when I’m being nice to someone.. if I’m being nice to you I mean it.
3. Am I doing what I really want to do?
Definitely not.
4. What am I grateful for?
My family.
5. What’s missing in my life?
Love and freedom.
6. Am I honest?
No.  I’m honest in the sense that I don’t lie to people (other than parents…they don’t count all kids lie to parents eventually), but I’m not honest about how I feel and I don’t always tell everything about how I’m feeling to people (sounds funny coming from someone who blogs about everything and anything but there you go I’m a walking oxymoron).  I do what’s best for me, or I try to at all times so if it’s in my best interests to not tell you that I think you’re a horrible person, or the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me than I won’t.  If that’s lying then so be it.  There are a handful of people in this world who I will never lie to and tell too much to!
7. Do I listen to others?
Not really.  I don’t listen to what other people think I should do or how I should behave, I do whatever I think is right, and I guess this is why I am always getting in trouble in my family lol.  It might technically be the “wrong” thing to do but if I will live without regretting it, even if it’s the “wrong” thing, then for me it was the right thing to do.  Does that make sense?  For example, if I was lactose intolerant maybe it wouldn’t be correct for me to have an entire bucket of ice cream, but I would rather eat the bucket of ice cream because I wanted to than wake up the next day wondering what flavour it was. 
8. Do I work hard?
No
9. Do I help others?
Not enough.
10. What do I need to change about myself?
Number 9.  I should dedicate more time to helping other people.  My family as well as other citizens of the Earth :)
11. Have I hurt others?
Yes.  A lot…all the time.
12. Do I complain?
All the time.  I’m ashamed to say I’m a whiny person haha but in certain situations I don’t complain.  I will always complain if I feel cold, otherwise I’d say I’m pretty easy going.  I don’t complain about food when I’m travelling or accommodations.
13. What’s next for me?
Being happy and having fun are the only two things on my list of things to do.  These are the only goals of my life, beyond this I have no idea and no plans.
14. Do I have fun?
How funny that this was the next question.  Yes!  As depressing as I can get sometimes I always have fun every single day.  (As long as I have a book or a good laugh life is pretty awesome so I’m pretty easy to please…at the present time I’d like to thank my bff’s Youtube and Kobo).
15. Have I seized opportunities?
Sometimes I am not prepared for the opportunities that arise and that’s horrible because luck is 90 percent preparation and 10 percent chance! However, what I have the capability to do, I do seize..yes.  Example: I once went downtown with my sister and friend to meet someone in the afternoon and suddenly an opportunity arose to be a part of something.  I said yes no questions asked… I stayed up all night in downtown Vancouver outside in the cold , rainy weather without an umbrella or proper clothes, alone and not knowing a single person there or how I was going to get home and went to work the next morning at 7am straight just so I could take part.
16. Do I care about others?
Too much.
17. Do I spend enough time with my family?
You can never spend enough time with your family.  Never.  Everyone will realize this at one point or another.
18. Am I open-minded?
Yes
19. Have I seen enough of the world?
Same as #17, you can never see enough of the world.
20. Do I judge others?
Oh I love this question.  I never judge other people I firmly believe their choices and decisions are between them and God.  Unless they are a murderer or other such condemned individual.
21. Do I take risks?
Yes.
22. What is my purpose?
To make other people smile?  To hopefully raise good children.
23. What is my biggest fear?
Being alone.
24. How can I conquer that fear?
I think you can’t.  If anyone knows how to please let me know.
25. Do I thank people enough?
Blah blah blahhhh I’m getting bored and so are you I’m sure… lets skip this one.
26. Am I successful?
Not yet
27. What am I ashamed of?
I won’t tell it’s personal and it involves someone else.
28. Do I annoy others?
Ask my sisters and my best friends haha.
29. What are my dreams?
To do what I like to do for the rest of my life.
30. Am I positive?
I’M SKIPPING QUESTIONS I DON’T LIKE
33. Does everything happen for a reason?
Yes, always.  I believe in fate and destiny and there is always something to be learnt from things that happen in this world.
34. What can I do to change the world?
Be the best me that I can be.
42. Do I care what others think about me?
Not enough to stop being myself.

51. What was the easiest time in my life?
It started on Feb 26th or 27th 2007. 
53. What was the craziest thing I did?
Fall in love.

Fall in love again.
55. Do I procrastinate?
I’ll answer this question laterrrrr.
56. What is my greatest regret?

57. What has had the greatest impact on my life?
Love.
58. Who has had the greatest impact on my life?
My mother and her mother.
59. Do I stand up for myself?
To the death.
61. Do I hold grudges?
Only one.
63. Do I listen to my heart?
Too much!?
66. Do I constantly dwell on the past?
If you live in the past isn’t it the present?
67. Do I let other people’s negativity affect me?
Yes.  I care too much about people.
68. Do I forgive myself?
Yes always.
69. When I help someone do I think “What’s in it for me”?
I can thankfully say that thought never crosses my mind.
70. Am I aware that someone always has it worse than me?
Yes, unfortunately I’m kind of a morbid person.
OK THAT WAS SO NOT A FUN QUIZ.  HOPEFULLY THIS NEXT ONE IS FUNNER.

Eat, Pray, Love

Hey everyone!

I'm in Singapore at the moment and will be here for some time... just wanted to let my lovely anonymous readers know in case they missed me or wondered why I haven't posted! I hope you have! I do tend to post erratically as I'm sure you've gathered from the archive because I guess at times when I have too much on my mind I find it hard to write publicly.

Anywho I watched Eat, Pray, Love on the plane and I went into it thinking I was going to hate the movie and was just planning on watching it because the book has such a fan following. I loved the movie! I shall post more on it when I get the chance but for now... it's time to be with my family here in Singapore (read: eat... is it wrong that I'm in Singapore and all I want to eat right now is Mcdonalds?! lol omg I'm addicted). See you all later... eat, pray and love everyone :)

Why Do I Write?

DearDiary alfred-eisenstaedt-marilyn-monroe-writing-at-home1
It’s been almost 2 years since my First Blog Post and I just thought I’d recap on why I write.  I write because I have to.  It’s a necessity for me, I am constantly writing no matter where I go, whether it’s tweeting/updating my status/writing blog topics and memo’s to myself on my phone, or while I’m at work writing in my notebook there about my thought processes, or at home on my blog or one of my personal diaries - - I have to write.  It makes me a little crazy though I must admit because when you think in your head your thoughts process so fast that you don’t even see it, it’s like boom boom boom.  However, when you write, you see your thought process flow out before you and when you see how your mind goes from one thing to another, and when you analyze yourself that much, you wander a little from the sane group.  It also makes me a little crazy because there’s so much of me that I have to use different diaries to cover different things or I’ll lose my mind.  One diary has my deepest darkest thoughts and feelings, one diary is more for fun so that I can exercise my mind and play with words, one is for brainstorming…etc etc.  Why can’t I have it all in one?…  It’s because I need to purge myself, I need to quickly rip out my dark side and then shut that book so I can focus on something else for a bit.  Imagine if I just had my blog as my one sole diary, imagine how traumatized yall would be reading it!?  Lol I’m doing yall a favour trust me!
I write for myself… I write to chronicle my life and so that when I look back one month, one year or one decade from now I can see who I was at that point of time.  Twitter for me is more a diary than anything else and same with Facebook statuses.  Yes I write to engage in conversation with the world but I’d say mainly its for me to look back on and see where I was and where I’ve come.
A diary entry of mine might simply be a list of songs on my playlist, or a header saying “Cozy” with a list of things that make me feel cosy and eventually it forms into a psychoanalysis of myself.  So as I said though, I do write for myself, these blog posts - -I love that people can read them, that even one person may have smiled at a post of mine or felt any kind of emotion at something that I wrote; it’s an amazing feeling and it’s a reason why I share my posts to the world, but I also feel exposed.  I feel exposed because my posts are ME, they’re not generic posts on fashion or Bollywood or technology like most blogs are, they’re posts about ME and my thoughts and beliefs.  I feel like people who read this blog in its entirety will walk away knowing a fair slice of me (not a whole lot mind you but a good glimpse) and it’s scary to open yourself to judgement in that way.  I am glad that I didn’t center my blog around a certain theme though this is my blog and I write about anything and everything I want…why restrict myself?

Ho ho ho

Living well is the best revenge.
The funny thing is I actually shed tears over the loss of our friendship, over the pain of your betrayal.  What’s that you say?  You say I’m a fool?  No ho, I’m just a decent person.

Eva Longoria & Tony Parker ---- OVER

“The only people who should really sin are the people who can sin and grin” – Ogden Nash

article-1290185697877-0C1AB579000005DC-728894_636x654

This is probably not how you expected this to open but: Remember how everyone used to go gaga for Jessica Alba?  I was never that into her…sure Jessica was hot but she was always so BLAND at the same time.  What’s her personality?  Can she crack a joke?  Have I ever seen her make an ugly face and still look pretty?  Jessica Alba is vanilla.  Kim Kardashian is HOT HOT HOT yeah (body wise) but that’s pretty much all she is… the ENTIRE PACKAGE WINNING HOTTEST CHICK AWARD has always gone to Eva Longoria Parker.  That little lady is 5ft 2 inches of straight dynamite. 

longoria_kardashian

Kim has always been hot, no question but Eva is hot AND CUTE!

eva-tony-all-wet

BAM.  Dynamite.  Need I say more?  Ok so her hotness.. undeniable.  Now the big question on everyone’s lips is: Why would any guy cheat (cheat= emotionally for sure/physically maybe whatever) on someone like…this:

Eva Longoria (Crystal Collection)

eva-longoria

eva-longoria_net_maxim-germany2006oct-05

eva-longoria-works-out-to-keep-her-backside-toned

For THIS!?!?……………

Erin_Barry

?????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s because THISerin-barry-4 was not Tony’s wife.  Simple as that.  If Tony had married Erin Barry (she’s pretty fine too), he would have cheated on her with someone like Eva.. (if Eva was a lady of easy virtue).  It’s sad yeah for sure, but I find it so funny that people are like “wow Tony is such an idiot because Eva is so hot”.  Come on people, it doesn’t matter if Eva is hot, or if Eva has the best personality ever, or if Eva is a freaking goddess from heaven.  Forbidden fruit is always more alluring.  I think it has everything to do with his own timing and his own personal growth.  I don’t believe that it has anything to do with love or that if he truly loved Eva he wouldn’t have done it and that they weren’t meant to be.  Timing is everything.

I’m starting to think that it’s not natural for humans to be monogamous.  In some way or another, whether it be through sexting or just plain sexing; I just don’t believe humans are monogamous by nature. Maybe some of you always knew this but I honestly believed that we were, that one man and one woman could be faithful to each other.  My mindset has completely changed.  That’s not to say that there aren’t relationships out there that have been and will continue to be monogamous for life (who are you and tell me your story!); all I’m saying is that it just might not be in our natural instincts and is a struggle.  Sexual monogamy is having one sexual partner for life, forever!  For example, a goose will not mate with anyone else, even if their partner dies.  That is just not natural for humans!  You and I both know that.  Just because I’m saying this does not mean that I DON’T want a monogamous relationship.  I DO!  I wouldn’t be able to live with someone who had 100’s of text msgs sent to another woman while lying to me and not texting me, emotionally cheating on me with someone else, or having intercourse with another woman.  Yea… couldn’t live with that.  Team Eva.

Why do people cheat?  It’s all economics.  Costs… benefits… A male would rather look at your boobs and be caught checking them out than NOT looking and NOT seeing anything!  I don’t believe that humans honestly think of the costs.  Was it worth it?  Was it really worth it…throwing away 3 years of marriage?  Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock… he cried on tv, said he was sorry and then moved on with his life.  Tiger… moved on.  Tony… will move on.  I just don’t think guys really care.  100% Tony isn’t sitting there regretting that he carried on the affair… he’s sitting there thinking “Why the eff didn’t I delete those messages!?” haha.

Maybe Eva and Tony weren’t meant to be and it was fate, and maybe they will be happier forever with other people and they’ll look back ten years later and be grateful that this happened because now they’ve found their “true love”… or maybe it has nothing to do with other people and everything to do with their own selves and their own personal growth and their own timing.  Maybe people would be happier if they weren’t told how their lives were supposed to be: married to someone of the opposite sex, have children, live together forever, white picket fence, etc etc.  One thing is certain though, tradition survives for a reason and hopefully one day I’ll find out why and I can come on this blog and say hey…marriage is awesome and here is why you should get married.  Omg that is SUCH A SCARY THOUGHT.  I’m going now.. bye!!!!!!!!!!!

Previous post

Ok that was way too much negativity for one post.  I’m drained.

RANT

angry face

I can’t stand…

Hypocrites and liars.  Those are my two least fav types of people.

People who double dip, it grosses me out!  It’s so rude and disgusting and I feel like puking.  I’m sorry but I don’t want your slimy little germs on my tasty little taste buds. 

When people say: “You’re so pretty, wow you don’t even look Indian”.. I mean what am I supposed to say in response?  Thank you?????  Is that supposed to be a freaking compliment that I don’t look like my race?? Cause my race is so freaking ugly?  Screw you!  I look Indian, this is what Indian people look like and I’m proud to look Indian! 

I get so irritated when people ask me how much the product is plus tax.  You see the price tag, you know how much our government’s tax percentage is, why the eff are you asking me?  Do I look like a calculator?  OR like someone who's good at math?  No and no.

Girls who scream when they see each other.  Or girls who swear a lot.  I can’t stand girls who sit on their boyfriend’s lap on the Skytrain unless they’re in a big group of friends..for some reason then it’s fine.  Girls who post stupid comments on boys walls just to show everyone that they hung out/are super tight (ex: “your bed is so comfy!”).  Please, save such comments for text msgs not facebook walls.

I can’t stand Priyanka Chopra she is so hot but so irritatingly focused on being/looking hot it annoys me.  Watching her movies is like watching a Nivea ad.  Can’t stand Katrina Kaif either now that I think about it but at least she looks cute.

People who say on the phone “I’ll let you get back to what you were doing”… if YOU want to go, then GO!  If I want to go, I’ll say so!  Don’t “Let” me do anything, I’ll do whatever I want!

Racist people.  Racist jokes.  Sexist people.  Sexist jokes.  I don’t find them funny!  Also while we’re on the topic, don’t say the N word!

People who assume that just because you live at home you have things easy/have no bills etc.

People who constantly ask me why I have my name/watermark on my pictures.  For the record, it’s because I’m cool.

People who assume they know everything about me.  You know diddly squat buddy ol pal!

People who comment on my clothes and say things like “Wow you must have so much time in the morning”, um no actually it doesn’t take me long to look this good ;)  (not like I’m even this crazy dresser anyways?  I usually rock jeans and a t shirt) On that note, I hate passive aggressive people!

People who state the obvious: “You’re not wearing makeup today!”.. “Your ears are so big!”… etc etc.  Sniff, I’m just sensitive about my ears ok leave them alone they work perfectly fine until they have to hear your annoying voice screech.

Illiterate people.  Go read a book!

Judgemental people.  Example:  “OMG look at that slut over there look at what she’s wearing”… whoa whoa whoa hold your horses! Just because she dresses like a ho... doesn’t mean she’s a ho???  She just likes to look like one (lol jk).  Don’t call girls sluts!  Go watch a hindi movie…girls are goddesses and you’re just jealous she can rock it and you can’t, and that you care what people think and she doesn’t! 

Happily married couples.  I’m jealous of you :(

People who constantly drop names and dollars into their conversations.

People who talk about money.. it freaks me out.  I don’t want to know how much your house costs, how much you can sell it for, how much your jacket costs, how much dinner was… I just don’t think it’s tasteful.

Ok that’s all for now.. Part Two some other time.

Room drama

This is what’s been going on: my parents and I have been in a major stalemate since before the summer.
Yes I know, it’s disgusting, yes I know I should clean it but I swear ITS NOT MY FAULT.  Ok it is but I don’t know WHERE TO START.  Debbie Travis can you help me PLEASE?  So.. basically… I cleaned my room in the summer!  It was beautiful I swear!  I was finally going to paint it white and stain my furniture black and put Marilyn Monroe pictures everywhere and have this whole old Hollywood theme going on…until my dresser broke.  And then my CLOSET broke.  My accessories ended up going on the floor, my clothes ended up beside my bed on their hangers and then I just gave up and every time I put something on or took it off I just chucked it.  I mean what was the point my room is broken where would I put anything anyways?  K so then my parents started yelling at me like crazy and I’ve just been super duper busy with life in general and when I finally have some free time I want to chill not clean my room.  All I heard all summer was: “find a dresser, buy a dresser, you need furniture, pick one and we’ll get it for you”.  I didn’t have TIME TO FIND A DRESSER OR FURNITURE AND BESIDES.. FURNITURE SHOPPING IS THE. MOST. BORING. AND. BIGGEST. WASTE. OF. TIME. EVER.  Plus I didn’t WANT new furniture I wanted old furniture that I could mess around with.  Stalemate.  Then I told them fine, you buy whatever you want, I don’t care anymore I don’t want to see it or think about it I’m sick of being yelled at.  I thought I dusted my hands off the whole thing.  NOW WEEKS later my parents have finally ordered furniture and it’s coming tomorrow!  And they want me to clean my room BEFORE it comes so that there is space for my furniture. 
Meaning.. all the stuff I’ve been chucking everywhere has to be put back on hangers and washed and etc etc etc.  I have to clean my room.  I’m going to cry.. I don’t know where to start!  I can’t yell at my parents anymore saying “well you still haven’t bought me a dresser obviously my room is going to be a mess” because they’ve BOUGHT ME THE DRESSER.  No more excuses.  The war ends today!  What colour was my carpet again?? :P

Outsourced Rant

outsourced_nbc_tv_show_logo

I decided to catch the pilot episode of NBC’s latest show, “Outsourced”.  I had heard a lot about this show and was hoping to watch a show that wasn’t some random American’s interpretation of everything India was, but I was wrong.  It was.  Do American’s honestly believe that this is how India is?  That they know nothing about American culture?  Do American’s think that all Indians sound like Apu from the Simpsons?
It was so frustrating to watch this show.  Yes our food is spicy, yes a lot of India follows the caste system although it was legally outlawed, yes there are such things as arranged marriages and cows are allowed to roam the streets.. get over it!  Why does it have to be this huge “OMG” moment that HAS to be commented on?  Why couldn’t the writers for this show just have a cow in the background for authenticity rather than making it a “moment” on the show that they have to exclaim over?  I mean at the very least get the Indian accents right!  The actors themselves can’t seem to finalize their character’s accents!  Some start off with pronouncing their R’s as if they were born in England and then midway through their sentence they say a hard R as if they’re Apu again.  Clearly nobody actually studied an accent from someone who went to a British convent school in India, or just any middle class Indian families’ accent, nor did they seem to do any research at all other than maybe watching a few movies like American Desi or Where’s the Party Yaar? Honestly, I could have written the script for this episode in gr.7.  It was that bad.  I’m just so sick of the stereotypes; the goofy/cute American, the silent ,angry Sikh… ok I’m watching episode 2 right now I really, really cannot stand their accents.  They can’t keep them straight?!  What kind of actors are these?  I bet by the third episode they’re all going to speak in a pure American accent.
In short there are two good things about this show, one being thatt I get to see “my people” on tv and the other is the BOLLYWOOD SOUNDTRACK BABYYYY.  I hope this show turns it around in the next couple of episodes because I do want to see it survive it just needs more meat.  No pun intended.

Love The Way You Lie

Like every other girl out there, I’m a little obsessed with this song.  However, I have no clue why other girls are so in love with it.  Do they relate to it?  Do they just like the beat?  Do they like to picture themselves as the tragic heroine?  I like this song, I relate to it, but I think it popularizes domestic violence.
I first heard this song on the Hills and thought it had a good beat.  I liked Rihanna’s part a lot initially but the more I listen to it the more I feel that Eminem definitely steals the show, plus it has enough swearing in it to soothe my anger problems while I’m driving and the song is on blast with the wind blowing in my hair.  Mucho enjoyment.
The phrase Rihanna sings haunted me... love the way you lie..  How can you love the way someone lies?  Then it hit me, it’s completely true.  It might sound weird but essentially, people lie because they care about you and because they don’t want to hurt you!  Does the truth really benefit you?  It might, it might not.  Knowing the truth sometimes doesn’t give you any more power than just accepting circumstances without knowing the reasons behind it and being able to continue regardless.  Does it matter how Tutankhamen died?  In the end, he’s dead and that’s all there really is to it.  (Ok, that was kind of random but you know what I mean!).   Sometimes things happen and you just have to deal with it.  Maybe one day you will find out the truth, but more often than not I feel that sometimes the truth is better left unknown.  People who lie to you are lying because they are not strong enough to speak the truth, but in the end, they do not wish to hurt you.  People who are being lied to often sense that they’re being lied to deep down but because they’re afraid to face the truth, they eat the lies. Being lied to is like hoping; you hope that what they say is true or could be and that’s why people love it when they are lied to, deep down.  Most people love to live a lie and deny the truth.  Hey, I’m not saying those are healthy people or relationships by any means but as long as people are happy, that’s all that really matters.  So, lets just say, I get what Rihanna means when she says “I love the way you lie”.
What I HATE about this song however, is that I feel that it glamorizes and popularizes domestic violence, rather than just bringing awareness to this serious issue.  I feel that little kids who watch Megan Fox and whoever that dude is (?) thrash it out will get the impression that this is a normal thing for grownups to do in grownup relationships.  It actually even looks SEXY and if I were a kid I’d probably expect it to happen to me at least once in my life in the future.  Contrasted to when I was growing up; I never expected anything like what happens in this music video to happen to me.  The only time I heard about domestic violence or people hitting each other was when I saw it happen in families with lower social and economic status on tv.  You knew it wasn’t something that would happen to YOU PERSONALLY!  I feel like people will look at this song and when violence happens to them, they will think that it’s normal, that it happens to normal people and they will sit there and accept it.  That is the problem.  This is not normal, you should not accept it, you should be shocked and horrified if this ever happened to you, and you should seek help.  It’s scary, and it’s serious.  What if on every show on tv there was domestic violence between the couples on the show?  What if Doug hit Carrie on the King of Queens every time she pissed him off, or the other way around… what if Ross and Rachel were always shown hitting each other and then kissing passionately on Friends?  Do you not think that this would become more of a norm for people?  Do you feel that more physical abuse would seep into relationships?  Or do you think that you would never do that, never hit a girl, never hit your man?  There is no grey area, you can’t say “hey I just threw something at her/him, I didn’t actually hit her/him”, if it is an act of violence, it is wrong.  All I’m saying is, that when a song like this with popular artists and glamorous a-list movie stars in the music video depict abuse, they don’t bring awareness to this social issue, they simply glamorize it and make it more of a cultural norm, and I am against that.  It was such a huge deal when MTV showed the teaser of Snooki getting punched on Jersey Shore (although they didn’t air it in the episode) because of this EXACT REASON.  POPULARIZING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.  ‘Tis a no no.  Let me know your thoughts on this issue :)
