So today, there was a heated discussion going on on the lunch table and all they were saying was “What do actors do by the way?” “They are probably earning way more than they work.” “See us, we work so hard and yet we don’t get what we deserve.” “What is their social contribution?” “They only entertain people, making fool out of them.” and so on and so forth.

I don’t understand how can people just bash someone else’s profession? (Seems like my tag line has changed from “they are also human beings” to “how can they do this to others?”) I so wanted to say these things – Then can you act? Can you keep awake more than one day consecutively like they do? Is it so easy to become someone else? If they are making fool out of people, then public is idiot too. Moreover, you people are the one who say “Let’s go to watch that movie, it’s got awesome reviews.” That time you don’t think that they are fooling you? If they are sucking out your money, then whose fault is it? Theirs? Then just don’t go, don’t watch them.

Social Contribution you ask? Imagine a world without the dramas and movies – What? Can you watch News and Sports all the time? Talk about engineers (I’m one too so no offence). Aren’t they making fool out of people – introducing new technologies day by day – just making few changes here and there and you get a new product – happening so much nowadays?

If they are not there, who would I fangirl over? Who would introduce me to their countries’ culture? How would I learn my languages. Taking their countries to an international level, isn’t that a social contribution? At so many instances, they are bringing glory to their land, just like sports players, then would you say same thing about the players too? Do you even know, how much hardwork goes in just maintaining themselves, according to YOU – you, who think they are doing useless work?

I mean, I can think of so many things. I can’t even imagine what they really go through, just to entertain the audience. But again on a table of eight, if seven people are in agreement, what could the last person, who has no standing among those seven, do? I only left the table as soon as I could, which I think was the best decision. If only, people would grow up and start thinking about others. I guess, the world would be a lot better place.

Side Story 1 – I finally came to a decision as to what I should ask my mentor to bring from Japan. I asked her to buy me manga for elementary students so that I may learn Kanji and one for an acquaintance of mine who asked me to bring something Japanese as a souvenir from Thailand. Unfortunately, I’m not getting anything original Japanese or Korean here which suits me. So, now I just hope, she gets what I want

Side Story 2 – If I had known earlier that she had plans to go to Japan, I would have introduced her to J and K pop. In four months, she would have become a total fan. I’m sure, now she’ll get to meet so many idols but she would never know they are one. I would’ve asked for autographs and all.

Side Story 3 – I finished Sungkyunkwan Scandal in three days. But because of that, the current shows I was following – The Suspicious Housekeeper, The Future’s Choice and The Heirs – lagged behind. But I don’t want to resume them now because, they’ll take my variety shows time then. I don’t know what to do……

Side Story 4 – I’ve again come back to Japanese songs. This will go on for probably one week. I have been listening to OSTs of Cardcaptor Sakura, Gintama, One Piece, Naruto, Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Angel Beats, Natsume Yuujinchou, Mirmo, and many many more. With each of them, my college memories are associated and it comes back like it happened just yesterday.

Today’s song – Then, I would post an OST today. Oh! Because, I’m writing this in lunch time from my office and I can’t play it, I don’t know if the larger one has video or not or if the smaller one is the TV size one or not. So I’ll post both. I’m sure many have watched the anime. Just revisiting the  childhood –
