the good the bad and the ugly

Okay. So my first post has been read by none till now. I was dejected, but realised that there was no reason for any random person on this multi-billion strong web community to come looking for my post or even stumble upon it by mistake! After all i'm no Matt Damon that ppl will look my name up on search sites(though a lot many people have mentioned an uncanny resemblance). So its nobody's fault but mine. My fault that i didnt get famous before hitting the "save" button for the first time. My fault that i did not make myself marketable. My fault that I ventured into this blog-eat-blog world with scant preparation. Armed with this new found enlightenment I have decided to tread the path of this blog-eria once more. And this time I'll make sure I become a hit.

But what can I do to get readers/viewers (I do not know which is the right word to use here)to come to my blog? I did try the porn idea, but failed. I tried bribing my friend a rupee each for every time he visits my page, but i guess a rupee - which is equal to 1/40 th of a dollar - isn't incentive enough these days. There was a time when a rupee could buy you a bundle of those aids controlling devices. A time when a rupee could get you a game of Mario. At least a few gol-gappas. But, those good ol' days are nomore.

So i have come up with some new ideas to get popular support. I could put a link to my page and spam it across the world with a caption saying "hit the link to make new friends". This idea is viable considering the recent spurt in popularity of orkuts and the facebooks of the world. I mean, check any of the profiles and you'll find people going crazy to WILL YOU BE MY FREIND. Come to think of that, if these people were allowed to vote in the american elections, that porn-star would sure be blowing people in iraq today, instead of that Bush dude. A far more interesting spectacle indeed!!

Another way is to join all the different mba forums and put my ad in there. Again, going by the number of people who wanna get an mba, this is a bulls-eye. The only hitch is that everyone on those forums has a blog too. But then we've all heard of 'you scratch my, i scratch yours' havent we.

Mebbe I could even blackmail my friends with the various sloshed/stoned/semi-nude photos of their's that i have so carefully saved over the years. Afterall friends in need are friends indeed. I knew those pictures were going to cheer me up someday. Mebbe that day is now.

There are many other such get-famous-quick fix-its which range from new diet plans to buying a spot on space travel to dating britney spears. There are plans aplenty. And I will try one or all of those if my literature does not get its due audience soon enough. And then the talent scouts will line at my doorstep to sign these Magical fingers. And then this blog will make me famous. And rich.

But i guess for the time being, I'll just wait on my couch, watching Himesh croon, waiting for the buzzer on my microwawe.
