Just the other day, when I was sitting in my room absolutely bored, I turned to YouTube for some much needed entertainment. I spent half an hour going through a lot of crap before I chanced upon an episode of the show 'Koffee with Karan'. Now, I am not a huge movie buff, I don't really give a shit about most of the movies that are running in the multiplexes. But I like filmy gossip,again not to the extent that I sit over it for hours and ponder and worry about it, but just generally, I like to watch chat/talk shows with different famous people in them. Now don't get it in your head that this is the only reason I watch these shows, I am not that shallow either, but it is definitely one of the reasons when it involves film stars. I am not looking for any kind of 'gyan' from them, obviously.
So for those of you who are not familiar with the show itself, Karan Johar is a director in Bollywood who most of the actors would die to work apparently. Lets not get into that kind of logistics for the time being. He hosts this chat show where he gets all the biggies from the industry to come by and chat with him in a 45 minute episode where they discuss everything from the actor's journey to stardom, new movies,ex relationships and current flames on an apparently steaming couch ( Don't blame me, I borrowed the cliche from Mr Karan himself). Despite how cheesy and terribly annoying it sounds here, it is actually quite nice. As in, the show is well hosted and some of the movie stars are really funny. You wouldn't want to watch this if you are in the mood for something useful because this really is utter nonsense. But sometime utter nonsense is what you need for entertainment.If you can watch movies like Shivaji or Dabangg or Ready which is actually mindless shit, this should be OK too. You watch it for 45 minutes,smile and laugh wit them and then you let go. You don't ponder over what they said and what they are doing because the truth is that you don't care. Neither do I. Nor do we have that kind of time in this age. So for all those who keep bitching about talk shows like this, go get a life. If you only wanted to do something useful in life everyday and nothing else, you wouldn't be doing half the things that you are actually doing.
Life is not meant to do only useful and awesome stuff. Take a break once in a while, do some nonsense, it helps :)
