mediocrity v1.0
I was part of an interesting argument yesterday.. which has really made me shoot an entry here. 'Mediocrity', This word actually popped into my head when the thunderstorm subsided. Yeah, i do pity the neighbours..
I wanted to watch "path to 9/11" and my roomie wanted to watch a cricket match. One thing led to another but fortunately for me, we din end up doing wwf.. coz one, i'd have been beaten and two, it would have been a funny mms-clip. My argument-lets watch something thats groundbreaking stuff.. the picturization of the whole movie was awsome. .the plot (well 98% true in reality) was to gripping to pass up for a game of smash the ball.
Fresh were the images of the WTC collapsing.. 6 years on. Still remember my friend calling me up and saying "there been a bomb blast.. in new york.. wait. ... no.. plane crash.. world trade center.. quick.. turn on CNN.."
All this made me not want to part with the tv remote. Only to be criticised that i promised i would switch channels and be well.. verbally abusesd after a valiant effort to win over the argument by saying " dude.. u said so... man.. don go back on your words now.. blah blah.."
Oh well.. gifted with the power to argue till the sky falls.. i was relentless.. pointing out to me dear friend that there are things in this world apart for news reports of dance-bars, sting operations gone wrong, wife swapping and witch doctors.. mediocrity!
Man.. when will people around me start building good taste of things?? Or why do i end up with people like this? Not that they are bad by character.. not at all
1. Never thought anything apart from money and clothes.
2. Never did anything useful apart from oogling at anything slightly resembling female..
3. Never bothered to find out who was Mohammad Ali or who is Bernie Ecclestone.
4. Know everything about Cricket.
5. Champions at guessing film songs and playing games based on film songs whenever more than five people get on a bus!
6.Always throw garbage where every it is already dirty.. or apparently dirty.
7. Always panic when you see someone else doing somthing vaugely important and presume that he/she will move ahead of you in school/office.
8. Always break the line/queue and smile back at the people behind.
9.Never feel the need to say sorry, thank you, excuseme.
10. Either think of earning money by fooling others or not think of doing anything good in life!
These are the 10 most common things to expect in mediocre folk! They are not hard to miss. They are everywhere. There is a theory that if it weren't for them, things would never move ahead in this planet.. Well, to some extent that may be true.
But mostly, atleast with me, this irks me to the extent that i loose my cool and get down and dirty in an argument that i fight till i win.
When will people learn to co-exist? Birds of a feather flock together.. who makes up these funny quotes??
I hope i don't sound to critical. You may think of me as a person with seroious attitude problem or someone who needs to be taught to behave.. well.. a little mediocre??
Keep outsourcing jobs! Thats the only way to keep that flag flying!
