In search of name and fame



I found this video when i was casually browsing YouTube. The Singer in the video has touched abut one of the most driving force in the human life. "To be Famous" It's rare to find people who will say I don't want to be famous. I am not an exception to it. People find different means to become famous. With the out burst of TV channels it has become all the more easy to become famous over night. Recent shoot out at the USA and other parts of the world should be a live example for it.

I remember an incident during my collage days. We all friends had been to a personality development program during our vacations. The trainer asked each one of us to go on stage and speak some thing. One of my friend went up and said "I want to be controversial" Every body started laughing. I hardly realized what was he saying at that time. But now I know what he meant.

I think It's a great feeling to be famous. I can only think because i am not famous. When you walk on the road people will recognize you. When you are busy at shopping others are looking at you. You get a good treatment because you are famous. I think there are many more advantages of being famous.

But there is flip side to it as well. A very close friend of mine is a TV celebrity. She keeps telling me that she misses her private life. On the road people watch you, your move, with whom you are. Its most likely that you will get in to lots of rumors.

What ever it may be, I just want to be famous once.
