Fame gurukul

When i was home for three daus last week, i was introduced to this show by a cousin(adaptation of INXS)....there i found this chap who is universally recognized as clearly the least talented singer but has been saved by the audience for the last 5 rounds...now the reason could be that...he is somewhat smart looking than the others and the public dont recognize that the show is for finding singing talent....and not performers.. However this brought to my memeory the famous HBR article arguing that managers prefer to work with lovable fools rather than competent jerks....so rather than saying that public doesnt recognise the true purpose of the show...i think lovability is a criterion in almost all selection decisions....that may to some degree explain the good summer placements of all the gud looking girls in our batch..(Male Lust factor is the generally accepted funda)...so talent doesnt always wins....
Ofcourse as the article said...everyone loves to work with a person who is both competent and lovable...so mr. qazi taukeer, best of luck..but i dont think u will succeed..the gap in talent is way too much for your charm.

lets start something special

How do i start on something really good, do i dive headlong or do i think how to best go about it, the second option is apparently obvious but if you know me, it could be the sign of procastrinating...cos obviously something good requires that extra bit of effort for which you have to be in the zone or in the groove...whatever....so wouldnt by waiting and exploring the best way to go about it..i am lessening the chances of mine being in the zone....

Something special
