High School Demographics

We watch a lot of firang high school movies and what is immediately noticeable is the set-up. There are a bunch of popular kids, geeky kids, normal kids and the hero/heroine. Though it seems cinematic, it is kinda true isnt it? Lets define the characters:

  1. The popular and mean kid - The most handsome guy/girl in class who most of the geeky or almost non-existent kids in the class have a crush on. The popular kid doesn't even know the names of the rest of the kids in class. The popular girl is the one the seniors have their eye on. The only reason why they would even come by your classroom. The popular kids are the reason why your class is noticed.
  2. The popular yet nice kid - They are rare. Despite their popularity, they are in touch with reality. They mingle with everyone. They try to remember the names of other kids in class. They fit in without the high and mighty air around them.
  3. The geeky kid - Almost disappearing into the books with thick glasses. Not to be seen anywhere without a book. They are glad to be even spoken to anyone from the popular gang. Teacher's pet. Almost always has a crush on the most popular guy/girl. Wants to have a life.. but doesnt know how to.
  4. The invisible kids - They dont fall under any category. They are the ones who disappear into the background. Not many kids remember their names.
  5. The funny guy - Every class will have a 'funny' guy. The guy who cannot be taken seriously. The guy who's job is to just mock the teachers/other students. Mostly a friend of the popular kids. He is mostly either very thin or plump. He also likes a girl .. but the girl thinks thats a joke too.
  6. The dumb-fuck - Extremely stupid. Never passes tests. Manages to scrape through finals. Complains to the teachers when the popular kids tease him. Almost in the category of non-existents.. But infamous.
  7. The girly girl - The dainty darling. The one who is over dramatic. Acts like the world's gonna end even if her nail breaks. Expects all the guys to comfort her when her nail breaks. Cries for the stupidest reasons. Attention-seeker.
  8. The tom-boy - The girl who noone thinks of as a girl. The almost buddy girl who also has a girly side, but never shows it coz she knows she cant pull it off. Mostly has a crush on the popular kid.
  9. The girl-gang - All girls only.. No boys allowed.
  10. The boy-gang - All boys only.. No girls allowed.

I saw these demographics not just in high school.. but also carry-forward till post-graduation, to some extent even till my first work-place. Looks like movies are not so over-dramatized after-all.

I personally belonged to the "Invisible kids" gang. I ventured a bit into the "All girl" gang and was the friend of a popular yet nice kid.

Do drop in a comment and tell me which category you fit into :-)

Crushing!!



  • I am all jittery

  • Looking for our eyes to meet

  • Yearning for that little smile

  • Staring at my wardrobe, pondering what would please him

  • Butterflies flying left,right and center

  • Making loud conversation to draw someone's attention

  • Trying to exchange smiles getting bulbs in return

  • Oh!! Its that smile.. that adorable smile!!! Sigh.........Droooooool

  • He is that extra incentive provided to step outta home

  • Its gotta be the hair too.. the way it gently rests on his forehead

  • The frustration of not being noticed

  • My Mc Dreamy for a Mc While (Reference - Grey's Anatomy)

*Blushes* I am crushing allright :P


P.S - Tips to get noticed are welcome!

Bhargav, my schoolmate, passed away in a freak bungee-jumping accident. I just want to use this space to offer his family my deepest condolences. Though I really wasn't close to him, there is some sort of emptiness that's all around me.

May you rest in peace Bhargav. Will miss you.

Street Kings



I decided to take my cousins out for a movie yesterday. I picked Street Kings.. for the simple reason that Keanu Reeves was in it. I fell in love with him when I saw the Matrix. What a huge mistake that turned out to be. This movie.. Street Kings.. which I for no explainable reason recal as Street Riders is a remake of some Vijaykanth movie! Not in the literal sense.. but the essence of it.. yeah!!


The hero is not a bullet-resistant, walking peace of non-penetrateable armor for cryin' out loud! He gets shot in his arm.. and manages to fight.. get punched in the 'hit' area and still survive.. wake up Mr.Reeves.. its not The Matrix! .. Its not 'your mind makes it real' anymore... it IS REAL! The guy cannot act for nuts.. he has the same deadpan expression everytime. It worked wonders in The Matrix because the character required him to do so.. which I misunderstood as good acting.. looks like he still has the hangover. Plus the person who designed his clothes in the movie is definitely gay.


The music - Have you seen Vikraman movies or Karan Johar movies? Where one song is played in variable speeds. If the junta are happy - Fast version; junta are sad - slow version. This is the same funda followed in this movie. Fast.. slow.. medium-slow..medium fast..faster..sloowwwwww.


Dialogues - This was the easiest part in the movie. There are only 2 words used - 'Fuck' and 'Shit'. Eg - What the fuck is up you mother-fucker? Mind your fucking business you fucking shit.


Cons:


  • Keanu Reeves

  • Dialogues

  • Story (What story?)

  • Screenplay

  • Music

  • Costumes!

  • Pace of the movie

  • Acting - (Forgot to mention - The guy who plays the chief or whatever.. keeps spitting. Apparently thats the way he talks.)

  • What's left?

Pros:



  • Keanu Reeves' car

  • Detective Disco :-) He was hot!

My expert opinion - DONT WATCH! Resort to Captain Vijaykanth for better nail biting action! :-)
