The K word.

A certain Ms. Kapoor.

This post should have come a long time back. When she attended Karan's Coffee Talk. I flinched at the idea of watching the episode. Grrr. I mean, K... up close and personal...oh please, spare me! Interestingly enough, I went through the ordeal... decided upon it at any rate. Why? Perhaps 'cause I had nothing else to do. And voila!

Ordeal? What ordeal? The lady was refreshingly witty. And what's more. She never for once said her work was worthy of critical acclaim.... she did it cause people watched it. It's what she does. For a living. (Come to think of it, the profession is kinda better than, umm... what our rulers do. If you know what I mean.) I don't know if the lady has a 2-digit IQ, but if she does, she sure faked quite the reverse and darned well at that. Hmm. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Problem is, even judging by it's contents sorta went wrong. Or so it seemed. And that's what most people who have respectable amounts of grey cell thought as well.

The K word, might not be such a bad word after all. I mean, looking at it from a differnt perspective, it's a business and a certain executive knows how to run it. I mean run it for the Awe-lympics, not the Aww-lympics as I initially presumed.

Okay, so the products scream disgusting taste. However, the make isn't so bad when you consider that there are too many people out there, (whether with or without grey cells, I leave to the imagination of the reader) who actually buy those products, and heck, probably even need them. I mean that lady can't play computer games. Or read a magazine that would last the length of one episode. Or digest a whole newspaper. Boring, they might be, but people nevertheless. And since her husband(or whoever) so likes that garish makeover inspired by those products, she is really better off giving the Missy her money!

Go figure.

But however few grey cells the missy might have, they are quite enough to make her a living. And it isn't a crime to earn your livelihood legally. And she even pays a good amount of taxes...although more out of necessity than duty. Business, ladies and gentlemen, is quite simple once you figure it out. Only once you figure it out. Hence, the coffee was brewed well.
