By job profile I call myself a Social media jockey which in
simple terms means a person who is paid for handling facebook n twitter for a
brand! Since it’s a media brand, I am supposed to wish celebs publically on my
page on their B’days, death days, anniversaries, pregnancy, child birth and
divorces- all for their good life ahead! And in the procedure I do a lot of
things which I don’t like or find enough interests in!
It was Amitabh Bachchan’s B’day today! Apparently he is considered the king
of bollywood . To be honest, I am not a (or
an may be) Amitabh Bachchan fan! Means yes I would be excited if I see him in
front of me but not excited to actually go and see him (as if I can) still, he doesn’t
excites me as a matter of fact!
But to save my job I need to do some extraordinary facebook
post so that thousands of people come and ‘like’ it and so that my boss looks
up at me with pleased eyes! Since yesterday the articles in Pune Times about
Big B have been worrying me and I have been thinking what to post, how to show
my so called “creativity”. I just bought a BlackBerry you see and to its worst exploitation,
I am also googling “10 amazing facts about Amitabh bachchan” at 1.00 am but in
vain! I am petrified coz the 10 points I jotted down were already shown by
India Tv this morning slot in their ticker. Makes me worry double now!!
At this moment I just wanted Amitabh to see my You-Did-This
face! It’s you because of whom I instead of BBMing right now, am goggling and
getting facts about you such as “you can write with both hands” or that “you were
named Vijay in 17 of your films” I am sure if you saw me right now, you would
have offered me another job (out of pity or social service) as one of your
assistants or probably you would have said something super fantastic in your
flawless hindi and people would have simply awed at you!!
If I could ever, I would suggest these big shot guys to keep
these public matters such as B’days to themselves, it really troubles people
with small media jobs! We have clear extra work you see! But okay, I won’t
blame you anymore, you are turning 70 and I will still wish you to go for another
10-20 years on a human note.
So keep writing with both your hands (apparently that doesn’t
matters because now all of us write with both hands- typing I meant- who writes
in paper now)
P.S. I did a facebook post on your bday- A for Amitabh, B
for Bachchan , C for Cinema…Z for zanjeer| Result : Pappu paas ho gaya!
PS(2) The above also is stolen, sorry but really couldn't think
of you in any way!
Happy B’day Amitabh Bachchan!
