7 Things I Hate About Geeks

1. They’re binary. Geeks who read my work at Valleywag often ask me why I praised an entity in one article and criticized it in another. The world is not black and white! Geeks throw out entire systems or reject whole people because of one flaw. They’re crueler than schoolchildren.

2. They think they’re special. At least in LA, you can see why the celebrities think they’re gods: at least everyone knows them. In Silicon Valley, everyone’s smugly sure that “Internet Famous” secretly means “actually famous.” It doesn’t.

3. They’re boring. They make me boring. I was used to a conversational life of decent variety before I joined the geeks. Now it’s all iPhones and Facebook and that’s the good stuff.

4. They’re sensitive. I can’t mock the homeless with geeks; I can’t say the word “chick.” This is mild NBC primetime stuff.

5. They’re tactless. I’m the last to talk, I know, but I’m freaked out when my geek roommate resorts to the word “fuck” at the first mention of fair use, a geek audience starts name-calling at a respected sci-fi author when he criticizes user-generated content, and two critics of my Valleywag work try to embarrass me by mentioning my “failed” video project, Look Shiny — a personal videoblog that’s still running and thus has “succeeded,” though I’m not sure how such an unambitious project could fail.

6. They have a terrible sense of humor. This is a crowd that thinks “Fake Steve Jobs” is hilarious. It’s no wonder; a lot of them eschew TV for, ugh, blogs.

7. The phrase “___y goodness.”

Patoriotism

Patoriotism is………

* Standing up during the national anthem.

* Clapping & whistling when the “hero” of a typical bollywood movie gives a speech ‘for India’.

* Beaming with pride at the very thought of being an Indian.

* Praising Indian sportsmen when they win & getting upset when they don’t.

* Shouting, whistling & dancing at every fall of the competing team against India.

* Wearing
this, even though your friends laugh at you.

* Switching off the television coz I can’t see India lose.

* Getting affected by movies like Rang De Basanti & Chak De India.

* Feeling immensely happy everytime the Indian team strikes a goal, even if its just in a movie.

* Debating with every anti Indian to prove India is no less than their country.

* Loving your country, despite its innumerable flaws.

ONE LOVE

Mausam Aate jaate Hain
Sadiyaan Aateen Jaateen Hain
Kuchh Cheezen Rahjaateen Hain Yaad Mein

Wo Din Wo Raaj Kahaan Hai
Naaz-O-Andaaz Kahaan Hai
Naghmen Hain Aaj Sada Ke Saath Mein

Koi Kahta Hai
Jeene Ka Maqsad Yahaan Daulat Mein Hai
Koi Kahta Hai
Jeene Ka Maqsad Yahaan Inayat Mein Hai
Mujhse Jo Koi Ye Poochhe
Kyon Na Kahun Zindagi Ki karaamat
Mohabbat Mein Hai

Jhum Jhum-Tana Nana-Jhum ?.Tana Nana-Jhum
Ek Sada Dil Hai

Jhum Jhum-Tnana Nana-Jhum?Tana Nana Nana
Ek Sada Rab Hai

Jhum Jhum-Tana Nana-Jhum?. Tana Nana-Jhum
Ek Mohabbat Hai
