Forget what you have been told by every person who felt qualified to give you advice. Nurturing your true talents have nothing to do with how successful you become in life. The true path to fame and fortune lies in finding which of your talents you can cause to malfunction in life. What I am trying to say is take your best talent (even a mediocre talent will do just fine), cause it to malfunction and you will find yourself in a whole other plane of success, fame, and fortune.
I have performed exhaustive research into this intriguing hypothesis and am giving you enviable people the prologue to my ground breaking novel.
Finding the malfunction in YOU - Secrets to a more successful and famous life
Let me start with the most obvious type of malfunction. That caused by mistreated accessories, and articles of clothing that go on strike when needed most..... Or is it all a highly calculated strategy employed by people that are indeed smarter than they look?
Ever since Janet Jackson's strap decided to "malfunction" in front of millions of people, we have seen so many different clothes deciding to make a statement for themselves by going on strike. Coincidentally it only happens during major public events and to little known/struggling actresses desperate for some publicity. Nonetheless look at what it has done for their careers.
Those poor hot bods confined within clothing that was at least one size too small to be called clothing, rightly celebrated their right to freedom by conspiring with their captors and causing them to strike. Sure we got the baleful smiles accompanied by the "OH MY GOD!"s and "HOLY
Being the researcher that I am conducting exhaustive studies on these malfunctions and sparing no photograph covering these incidents, I have concluded that having malfunctions are a good thing. In fact I have even noticed that it is not just the wardrobe variety that can lead a person to fame, fortune and success.
Take the wildly successful rise to success of the multi-talented man Himesh Reshammiya. In an industry where singing success was measured against the yardsticks of the Rafis and Kishore Kumars, this man has defied all logical odds to eclipse each and every one of these singers.
What is the secret behind his success you may wonder? Well wonder no more. The secret is his malfunctioning voice. There are people who have been thrown out of music classes or offered consolation prizes for horrible singing before, but this musical genius has cunningly synergyized his wildly malfunctioning voice with his hyperactive nasal passages to give us music that has wowed his audiences.
It is not the quality of his songs as much as the fascination associated with this synergy that has dumbfounded his critics and captivated his fans. Himesh has had such a profound impact that even elevators that previously announced floors with a crisp beep have been reprogrammed to beep with a heavy nasal intonation.
Now can Rafi with his perfect voice ever claim to have influenced the mechanical world in such a manner?
Even his malfunctioning face and body have inspired enough people to thrust him into the role of a film hero as detailed by this article.
So my friends, all is not lost. Do not despair. You still have time to find that one talent of yours and cause it to malfunction. Who knows where your malfunctioning talent will take you?
I have seen glimpses of my true path to fame and fortune coming from my mediocre writing. I am still pondering on how exactly I can make it malfunction to reap the kind of success the subjects of my studies have. But I have already set on the path to success. Isn't it time you do the same???

interesting.. now i understand the logic .. our politics back home is malfunctional.. our infrastructure has been malfunctional.. several industries have malfunctioned.. the Kashmir peace process has been malfunctional..inter state policies have been malfunctional.. BUT YEAH BECAUSE OF ALL THIS INDIA IS A GREAT COUNTRY..:):) i am so proud to be an Indian..:)
hehe.. yes i could have written about that as well... but that would give it more serious intonations. Since this was supposed to be purely timepass candy floss i tried to stick to something more readable.
LOL!! Based on your theory I should be a raving success by now at SOMETHING since I have AMPLE malfunctioning talents. So i propose a counter hypothesis..actually more of a corollary - the malfunctioning talent has to be a solitary and spectacularly malfunctioning one. Too many malfunctioning talents distracts attention and thereby results in non-success. What say? ;)
@rams - no i didn't note the reference made to struggling actresses with hot bods.
@svasthi - yes u are right ... i did fail to mention that u do have to focus on deconstructing only one talent at a time. But i figured you as an intelligent audience would infer that from my pearls of wisdom. You can't be too verbose u know :)
@Bharath: On Revealed's corollary: You gotta tell us - how do we decide on which specific malfunction to focus on, since I have been endowed with quite a few of them too...
Perhaps if you would list them I may be of more help :)
@Bharath: If I was TRULY an intelligent audience I wouldnt be here, no? Hence if I was intelligent I wouldnt be in the audience :D. Contradiction in terms ;). Hehe:)
@Cloudy: LOL, I hear you, sister:). Need all the help I can get! Bharath sounds like just the man to help us out here ;).
Hey Revealed, did you use to drive your teachers crazy???? Am still trying to figure out that intelligent audience bit... hmmmm deep. Very deep.
@Bharath: List's too long, too embarassing :) Your book should have a generic "Works for all" kind of strategy!
@veena - Yes i may do a generic strategy... Need some to work on that though.
Until then I think I will think up of a game for your blog :D
I haven't posted a single game on it! By the way you were goingto do the My mother went to market game I told you about right? I'm going to post that if you aren't goin to be quick about it :) without the fancy pictures you wanted to put with it.
@svasthi - ok you're a falsely intelligent person :)
Did it saar! So sorry for lateness, a thousand apologies... blame my any of my many malfunctions for that ;-) Next post is all yours!
lol interesting indeed... my little Indian friend..... verrry interesting...
but we are a strange creature us humans... an we do seem to like something different, even when that difference is something that has been classically labelled as sub-standard, in our modern age that might be the standout feature in a population of averages...
Anyhow read a quote somewhere ...
We love people because of their flaws not their perfections...
