Embarassing Post

I have deleted my previous post.. Too much embarassing but it revealed that few of my family (siblings / niece / nephews) are reading the posts. It triggered bit of low moments with so much of phone call. Hence removed it.

The Interview That Wasn't

I know I am copying famous weekly show in English TV Channel in India but the show's core idea is to present things in humor sense. My friend just called and shared his experience with an random interview he encountered in a mall. It seems he was doing windshoping in the mall and was planning to move out of the mall, as his wife wants to catch some bite nearby restra.

Suddenly he noticed a huge crowd, as curious as any aam junta, he sneaked his way to centre and see the thick of action. Suddenly the person holding the mike (the same words which got justified at the end of narration) thrust the stick to his face and started questions.. Here are the list of questions..

• Question: Which is recent Hindi movie you have seen ?
• Answer : It's been few years in theaters and last movie was Dhoom 2
• Question : So which one you liked most in 2009 releases
• Answer : Oops.. I haven't seen anyone in 2009
• Question: What do you think of nominations in XYZ Awards 2009
• Answer : I haven't read or heard about the nominations ; Maybe I will see the Awards function when it gets telecast
• Question : Do you think nominations for best supporting actress are relevant to the box office results and critics views on each of the nominees
• Answer : Relevance is not there in the way you ask question all along
• Question : So, which movie you wanted to see in near future
• Answer : Avatar

Abruptly, the interview came to an end and the stick was thrust into another person.. The First Question was similar to that, seems like that person, a gentleman in mid 40s wasnt comfortable but he obliged to answer the first one.

• Question: Which is recent Hindi movie you have seen ?
• Answer : I never watched Hindi movies in full and never in theatres
• Question : So which one you liked most in 2009 releases
• Answer : I dont watch movies at all in any language
• Question : Atleast name one sir,
• Answer : I think it should be that elephant one which Dharmender acted (Whoa is that 2009 release?)
• Question : Did you like that movie?
• Answer :
• Question: What do you think of nominations in XYZ Awards 2009
• Answer : Does that company give awards for movies, I didn't know that
• Question : Do you think nominations for best supporting actress are relevant to the box office results and critics views on each of the nominees
• Answer : Best Actress Award should be given to you for asking such irrelevant questions without battling an eyelid.
• Question : Do you think someone like Vidya Balan should get Best Actress award?
• Answer : I again stress you should get the best actress award or your producer should get best technician award for having wonderful robot doing interviews and look so real on road
• Question : What is that supposed to mean?
• Answer : I said you are either Robot or Best Actress to do such insane interviewing without any reactions. .. Is it some kind of candid camera show going on?
• Mike Holding Person : Not sure what you are talking about, I don't really observe the answers should I proceed with the XYZ Awards nomination.
• Gentleman : Please ask someone else, I am off from this place and will never come near camera even in marriages :)

My friend then happened to move away from the crowd and bearing the cold vibes from wife why waste time for such dumb thing all because someone wears modern clothing and you want to drool :)

But he noticed the channel van was waiting outside and two gentleman animatedly discussing, our guy moves near them to hear them properly. They were indeed discussing about that the interview routine going around.

What he concluded is very pathetic. It seems that the person was hired new and she is in training session to be on road for news gathering so they want to see how she reacts to various points coming from random people. Seems like she is nervous and just went on flow with the list of questions printed on the chit she has.

Seems like somene's training didn't go well.. Nervousness can make you act weird but not with bizarre flow of questions :)

Should the Blog title be "The Job That wasn't" which is bit rude to aspiring Journo or TV personality. Hope that she overcomes nervousness to be successful one that she yearns for.
