Hi, my name is Vikas and I'm an addict

It was back in the good old engineering days that it all started. The magic number of 15 in the internals was the only aim and to top it all up, there was always T4 to make up for it, if anything went wrong with the divine plan. 

It started with Prison Break and all the night long gaming was replaced by Scofield marathon. The break time talk was totally devoted to this and people actually started to shoo away others who had no idea about Bellick's belly and thus became self proclaimed members of league of extraordinary gentlemen. The Prison Break DVDs were so much in demand that at one point I felt that I might actually loose my exotica porn DVD market. But then again, it was just a passing phase and people came back to the daddy of all DVDs and this actually proves the first mover advantage.

A new competitor entered soon in the name of 24 and its advantage was that it already had 6 seasons. This took the battle of nature vs nurture to a totally different level. At some point, people had to get fed up of the concept of Jack Bauer can't die and even if he dies, he'll come back in the next season as a ghost. Even though the Naughty America series has a pretty much predictable ending, people actually get to see different people doing a lot more than real life Jack could ever think of doing in his lifetime.

During my final year, I got hooked onto Dexter and to be frank its 1st season and the most recent 4th season are the best ever. I try to put myself under house arrest after watching Dexter as the temptation to see blood is at its peak. If at all it becomes uncontrollable, for the man I am, I bring home a homeless person and chop him up into pieces. Nine pieces to be exact and dump him in the nearby pig farm. For more information on using pigs for this purpose, I suggest the movie Snatch.

If at all you believed everything about this blood thirsty nature of me, then I'm sure I have a great future as a story writer.

Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory followed soon after and the latter is on track to becoming one of the best sitcoms ever and I'll always have a special place for the former. It was only a matter of time when Dr.House entered my brains and started fiddling with them thus leading to aneurysms. To relieve myself of this, I watch any random episode of Friends and it never fails to assert the fact that old is gold. To give an example of how the world has changed over the past decade or so, Chandler in one the older episodes boasts about his lappy having features like 12MB RAM and 512MB hard disk. 

Its one of those simple things that tell us how technology has changed everything around us. I'm sure atleast half of the online population will have a stroke if Facebook or Twitter goes down just for a day. There is a funny South Park episode that actually depicts this scenario.

Nevertheless, I'm proud to confess my addiction for all the above mentioned series and probably many more to come. Have you?

Pilot

Have you observed the fact that the 1st episode of any television series is named as "Pilot"?

According to Wikipedia, "At the time of its inception, the pilot is meant to be the "testing ground" to see if a series will be possible and successful and therefore a test episode of an intended television series." So I decided to use the same for my first post. The thought of blogging had been lingering in my head for a long time now, and this is just an effort to dip my toes in the water to get a feel of it and probably making it into something big in the future. 

With all the formal stuff completed, its time to get down to business. I have been reading a lot of blogs in the recent past and even though the authors of some of them try to act too clever by overly critiquing some of the obvious facts and try to portray themselves as a cross between Paris Hilton and Marilyn Monroe , the fact still remains that at the end of the day, a blonde is still a blonde. Hence, I would like to openly declare that this blog is not only serving as my virtual jerk-off junction but is also aimed at attracting both wanted and unwanted attention. If at all any of the readers do get offended by my posts, I'm sorry to tell you that the sole intention of it was to offend you. I can guarantee that my posts are going to cover all the sensitive issues with a topping of dark dirty humor. 

I am currently unemployed  and can only be described as "dharti pe bhoj". This blog is aimed at reducing that unwanted weight on the earth and in an effort to put my meager knowledge to better use. Please feel free to follow me and I would love to receive all the censored and uncensored abuses in the comments section even though I wouldn't mind an occasional  complement. Now that I have almost come to the end of this post, I think I should think about what to write next and in the meanwhile, think I'm going to watch an episode of "Two And A Half Men"(highly recommended).
