What does going crazy mean
What does going crazy mean? How crazy can you get before you officially get labeled as crazy?
Before I go ahead, I received a suggestion from a good friend that nobody would be interested in reading about my boss or my work which actually kind of sounded true. Further, as everybody who has a boss would admit to it, all we can do is only crib about a boss. Some of the eternal truths of corporate work life I have realized over the last two months
• Boss is always bad
• Work always sucks
• Work comes in bursts and only towards the end of the day
• Urgency is a relative word – relative to who says it
• People not reporting to you (read as – those whom you don’t appraise) never give you data on time
• If something can go wrong, trust me, it definitely would.
• There is NO plan
• All plans, if any do exist, never go as per the plan.
• Timelines are again relative, extendable as per the whims and fancies of people higher up
• The fourth floor sneezes and the entire third floor catches a cold; The second floor sneezes and the entire company catches a cold
• And yeah, the classic one – People are always smart enough to guess what their boss wants/likes.
Anyways, the idea of this post was to move away from the usual stuff. The first line was in that direction. I am sure by now every body is aware that a movie by name Sivaji has released today. Was watching CNN IBN a little while ago and they just went crazy (now as I said initially, this is a relative word – what is crazy to me might be absolutely ok for somebody else) about this whole Rajini thing. I understand that he is a huge star down south. Huge as in somebody who can turn around an election, somebody whose movie runs full house till his next movie releases (which is only after two years, you see, he likes to maintain the exclusivity), somebody who has 35000 fan clubs (as opposed to 18 clubs of Amitabh) and who is literally a God. Agreed to all these facts, but does that merit a round the clock news bytes about him/ his study habits / his sleep habits / his earlier movies / his characters / his one liners. Give me a break. Every news website that is worth its salt has been running a section on Rajini on the first page for the last two weeks. Every channel which manages to grab atleast a couple of eye balls has a special daily update on how people are anticipating the Rajini movie / what are the arrangements that they are making for the D-day etc etc. There are also hazaar public generated videos on sites like You Tube which further add to the hype. Doesn’t this sound all crazy? For me, it sure does. I did lap up every piece of news broadcasted / printed / typed. But at the end of the I guess it makes sense to remember that story of the goose that laid golden eggs. You can milk any issue only to an extent. The more you go on and on about it people lose interest in it. Yeah, by then there would be something else that would interest the common man and that is the only hope with which all the media companies would go ahead with.

"Going crazy is a synonym of Rajani" I guess.. The movie is all crazy.. the first half is rubbish..devoid of any intent unlike a typical Shankar movie..second half is just passable. But when u look at what
s happening on the TV and outside the theatre.. it's crazy :)
Haven't seen the movie yet. But heard from friends comments ranging from the movie is amazing to movie is a dud. But yeah, rajani's movies i guess shouldnt be watched for the story line etc etc. jst enjoy the movie and come back :)
