Sometime back, I was in a highly creative state where in I was able to really apply myself and force myself to think about a problem from different perspectives. At that time I hadn't watched 3 Idiots or read Chetan Bhagat's book. But I was ruminating on a new catch phrase that I wanted other people to use. And I zeroed upon e=m * c squared. Now what is this, you may ask? And the question is valid. This equation has been immortalized by Albert Einstein and every one who has had the misfortune to go thru relativity would know about this equation. But the way I conjured it up was in the sense of comical relief. Suppose some one asks me " how are you" and I reply back "e = m * c squared". That person will surely take it that I have completely lost my mental balance. If he/she were an acquaintance, the first thought would invariably be " i knew he was a little crazy, now it is confirmed". But suppose this person actually sees the smirk on my face and adds 2 and 2 and figures out that this particular response is something that is just meant in a comical sense and suppose that this person actually likes it so much that this person also starts using it, this thing could become a rage. Imagine for a moment that this particular thing becomes so big that it takes a life of its own. People would nod at each other and say " e = m...". Their eyes will meet in a crowded metro and they would immediately murmur "e = m...". Ha, won't that be really droll !!!!
So anyways I was conjuring up this scenario while lazing on my sofa. And then I watched 3 idiots. It is a good movie but there were some really really boring sequences, which spoilt my mood. But I must add there are some sequences which are really really funny. The movie deserves its success, controversy or no controversy. However I was talking about a catch phrase. And that phrase is, you guessed it right, All izzz well !!!! it has really become a nation wide rage. the phrase has been taken up by youngsters as well as older people. it is all around me and i love it. You can never guess what happens to your idea once it is taken up by masses. It just becomes bigger than you. The movie has raked millions. I am sure that there will be companies who has ridden on the crest of such phenomenon. I would really love to be at the helm of such a company !!!! Meanwhile all is well. Battleship game is almost done. The only issue that remains is that the game is not getting over. I will look at it tomorrow.
