Life of vellas...

For those of you, who do not know meaning of “vella”, it means a time-pass person. A person who is totally jobless and chilled in life. I call myself vella in life at this point of time (actually I was always vella only).

How did I come to write about such an absurd topic?
Yesterday I was watching TV. Star Gold was showing hera-pheri. The movie has no relation with being vella. But what was happening along with it, will make you realize that the country is full of vellas. It was Paresh Raval’s birthday yesterday. So Star Gold had asked its viewers to wish their hero through sms to 7827 (or any number like it). Bloody, a single sms to this number costs 2 Rs. Still people were continuously flooding the channel with sms. There was a scroll bar in the bottom of screen displaying all the messages. People from all parts of country, sending birthday wishes, sher-o-shairy, forwards, fan-sms (yes its age of fan-sms now, fan-mails are past thing). That too knowing it that there are really rare chances are there that Mr. Paresh will see them also. By God’s grace, even he saw them also, he wont be replying to them. So why waste so much money.

All the reality shows and talent hunts today allow their viewers to become judge and send their verdict through call or sms. There also thousands of vellas in country send their views. After all nobody gave them such an opportunity. It’s a feel good factor.

And now about vellapanti of my life.
Here is how I generally spend a day in my life.

Wake up (whenever you feel like)
Have breakfast (whatever you like)
Read newspaper (if you take TOI then just see the newspaper)
Watch TV (atleast 4 music channels will be airing Himesh Rashmiya song, three news channels will be discussing cricket, for sure)
Have lunch (again depends on you and your cook's choice)
Sleep (minimum two-three hours)

Have dinner (again depends on you and your cook's choice)
Watch TV (atleast 4 music channels will be airing Himesh Rashmiya song, three news channels will be discussing cricket, for sure)
Sleep ( till you wish)
-Thats a weekend of our life for you.
If its a working day, after breakfast its work, till around eight and then dinner. rest all same.
