If I were Santa Claus with the power to gift things to kids of all ages, these are a few things I would gift-
1. A pin to all those powers-that-be who are puffed up with imagined glory, greatness of their selves. All it would take is a tiny prick of this pin, and they'd be normal again.
2. A tape of old songs to all new/budding/upcoming music directors, to remind them that music can be melodious too.
3. An auto-edit machine to Hindi film-makers that will cut their films to (2/3rd) their size.
4. A cut-and-paste software that doesn't work, to students , so that they put on their thinking caps. Caps will be complimentary.
5. A boomerang that will bring back all negative thoughts to the thinker with twice the force. That will usher in positive thinking, better than Dale Carnegie and all the others.
6. Automatically turn all silly TV programs into something meaningful. That might get people to do other things than TV watching, which would benefit humanity, besides keeping everybody healthy.
7. Eliminate 2012 from the calendar, and skip to 2013, so the world need not end- not sure if that's a good thing to do though!
8. Ability to produce flowers at will, so you can't forget them on important occasions. May save a few lives.
9. Auto-reminders of birthdays...no, sorry, Facebook's already done that!
10. Make playing a game/playing with children mandatory for all grown-ups, for an hour a day. This may kill the anti-depressant drug industry.
A blog about life, Hindi music, films, humour, books, people, places, events, travel, and occasionally, marketing management or leadership. Mostly apolitical, because that is a personal matter that each of us should decide on, and because I don't want to lose readers!
