Liz Lemon

According to me 30 Rock is probably the latest comical sensation after the greats like Seinfeld, the Simpsons, Scrubs and FRIENDS .

Tina Fey as Liz Lemon is phenomenal. Liz is a 30+ woman living in New York. She is balancing her work life involving the crazy actors of her show, her boss the VP of GE and her almost non-existent love life.

Tina does what most women are afraid to do. She makes fun of herself. Women can relate to her character at many levels…she is not the party person who wears designer clothes and buys designer bags. She is just a regular girl with no frills.. She is confident and self assured.

This makes me wonder if her confident nature is the reason for her low love life? Are men afraid of confident and intelligent women? I do think that incompetent guys with low self esteem have a hard time dealing with the fact that women can have strong personalities as well. They mostly tend to prefer dumb bimbos . They prefer women who always play damsel in distress and need to be saved by a man!!!

Alas Liz Lemon is no such woman….though she does have her share of drama in life..she is perfectly capable of handling her life all by herself.

I would like to pay a tribute to women all over the world like Liz.. who work hard and have a very confident head over their shoulders.

Men around the world need to realize that women these days are as competent as them and that they should not feel threatened and instead should encourage women to be independent and strong!

Funny Stories

At work I met 4 very sweet people.... we had amazing conversations and discusssions... there are 2 very nice stories that I want to remember for always...hence I'm jotting them down:

Story 1: This is about Yash's revenge

Yash was a young boy around 8-9 years old.. he was very naughty and played the fool at all times...
an incident in his life changed him forever...
when Yash was playing in his neighbourhood a ferocious mutt attacked him... it bit his leg... this incident scarred Yash for life...

Present day... Yash seeks revenge against all mutt's... he's scarred... he's still afraid of all dogs and does not go near them... he does not even visit his friends who have dogs at home :P
He tries to kill dogs with his car... he tries to run over them......
He has already killed 1 dog in this manner.....

It was one of the most hilarious stories I have heard in a long time..... he is filled with vengeance against dogs!!! hehehe..........though very sad at many levels... it can make u think as to the amount of hurt the dog caused him by biting him when he was young.

Incidents at young ages can scar our lives... we just need to look forward and move on... grudges donot help anyone and do not solve any problems!!!!!


Stroy 2: Shwetha brings in a dead butterfly... I kinda find that very wierd........I ask her why she has a dead butterfly in her hand??? She says shw want to give it a funeral........
I find that extremely wierd... it was a Friday... then on Monday I ask her... what she did with the butterfly....... she says that she could not give the butterfly a funeral yet.... she has kept it in her freezer....I'm aghast!!!!!!!!what??????? a dead butterfly in her freezer....yuck...disgusting...

But I realise her love of that little creature and her respect for it.... I could never do something like that... but I am proud of her... any person who can respect and take care of a dead butterfly is truly an amazing person I think...

RIP for the butterly..!!

Sweet Surprise

Life is full of surprises.... just when you are thinking that you are sooo different from the rest of the world...things happen to prove you otherwise. One of my weakest points is the fact that I'm very judgmental...I always judge the book by its cover only to later realise that I am wrong...however hard I try to overcome this ugly behavior it hasn't been possible... well there are many instances that I have been proven wrong...but this time it was different and I will remember this sweet surprise forever...
Without giving out much details i would like to say that I had pre-conceived notions about a certain section of our country... They were outsiders in my land and I did not like them!!!
However a sweet talker changed my mind completely about this section.... I realised how foolish I have been with these assumptions.. They too are human and are loving, sweet people I realised...
Another notion I had was the fact that I could never get along with people younger than me...i rationalised it saying they were too childish in their behavior and actions... something that I can never tolerate...
After few days of close proximity with the youngsters...read 2-3 yrs younger than me... I realised how wrong my assumption had been....these youngsters were neither kidish nor were they stupid...They were very much in control of the situation and had good ideas.. they were professional and intelligent.... I was very happy with their attitude....
All I ant to say is that I truly believe now...that "Never judge a book by its cover makes a lot of sense"....Im truly impressed by these youngsters... they have a long way to go!!!!
