MY pen is mightier than MY tongue.


Thats true. If you read all my blogs that I have posted till date,you'll feel that I am that typical yack-yack girl who just cant stop talking. But there's a correction,I cant stop writing. I am quite a quiet girl and very reserved when it comes to communicating verbally or face to face. I just can't express myself so freely that way.
But when I start writing.....I can just go on and on and on!!!! Well thats how I am. Even people who know me tell me that the Prapti they chat with online is totally different from the one they see everyday!! 
Well that isn't it.There are also times when I cant even speak to my mom directly. Like for example,I want something very badly or I'm sorry for some mischief I have done at school or maybe I got less marks in Math(thats quite disappointing for my mom and me) or she has left some big decision on me....and other such things. Thats when I straight away jot down my feelings on a piece of paper and fold it up nicely and put it in a place where I'm sure my mom won't miss it.
Like if she hasn't had her bath yet then I put the note on the washing machine or if its evening time and she hasn't had her tea then I put it under the gas stove. And never has my mom mistaken these notes for some waste paper and thrown them away,because after all, she knows her daughter very well yaar!! And she calls these notes my 'LOVE LETTERS'!! and has collected and treasued all the letters I have written to her till date. And when I read them today,they seem so cute and funny with all those crying faces and sorry's on them!!
They really remind you of your innocence back then..........those good ol' days!! Ok ok.....now I'm sounding like an old woman.....
So thats all for now.

Love,
Prapti.

Ooh lala!!!


            OMG.........kal paper uthaate hi first news that caught my eye was this:SRK got a new vanity van 14 metres long. This kept me in awe of the Tinseltown lifestyle and luxuries until I saw another show on Mtv which made my jaws drop. And the news consisted of this-Katty earns 40crores per year. Akkie charges 37-40 crores per film.My calculations say that even if Akkie does 3-4 films a year,his annual income(excluding endorsements and stage shows et al)will be around 120 crores on an average making it a crore per month.Awesome yaar!!!! It makes me wonder how much money pomp and show can get you.Akkie charges around 37-40 crores per film and is the proud owner of a residential address in Lokhandwala,Juhu,Bandra and Mauritius.Well,is maamle mein bhi humaare SRK  kaunse kum hain??He's the proud owner of Asia's biggest (and maybe even costliest,i dunno exactly)bunglow Mannat!!. And what more? He's even got a place ready in Dubai on the Palm Islands. Sach yaar........life ho to aisi!!! Glamour,bling,style is all that matters and maybe all that pays so much!! Padhayi ka toh zamana hi nahi raha!! Padho yaa mat padho.......but all you have to do is enroll for some dance courses,drama classes,look hep 'n' trendy........try out for modelling (modelling competitions ki koi kami nahi hai!).If you have it in you,then you're game for a brand new world full of glamour and style and money,of course!!! Not that you dont have to work hard to get in here.Taking the case of some of the top celebs like Srk,Akkie kumar and many more......you can surely get the idea that its not a cakewalk after all!!!You gotta work your butts out to be there,right on top.
Toh kya yaar???Dont you have to work equally hard to get those degrees and and also to get those MNCs to select you?Of course you do!! 
Agar celebs raatbhar jaagkar shoot karte hain to kya students raatbhar padhte nahi??
Its clear that you have to work hard if want to achieve something THAT good and if you  want to live life THAT luxuriously,be it cinema or studies.
       But still,the fact that you can earn maximum 3-4 or maybe even 5 (if you can earn anymore please do tell me in the comments section)lakhs if you're an A+ engineer or have an A+ post in an MNC making upto 60 lakhs a year which is far less compared to the 40 crores per year earned by the celebs,makes me argue.There is something that gets the Tinseltown people so much.According to me its the public demand. A simple example is that you air a Tv show showcasing an A+ engineer's life and his struggle to get through etc. and simultaneously you air a show on Bollywood's hottest couple's secrets.Which one will get max. TRP's??
I don't think I need to say more. But its simple,its because public gives max. response to this field that the people involved in the field get paid so much.It's all about public demands,public appeal.Janta sab jaaanti hai,hai na? 
Don't worry though,I won't argue further......not in this blog atleast!! 
      So that was my view on the Absolutely luxurious life which is very appealing to us(even me!!!)
        I'd love to have your comments on it,whether good or bad,doesn't matter.
       Thats all folks!!
        Chao,
        Prapti.
