My 1st time on MTV!

Well, today I had what can be called my 15 seconds of (un)fame, but when Cyrus Broacha asked me what is my ego, I blabbered, and said the first incoherent thing that came to my mind: "My ego is that I believe in myself, for my ego is me". What kind of an answer is that!

Cyrus: So, do you believe you are God?"

Me: Er.. No

Cyrus: Is God a part of you?

Me: Er.. no. I am a part of God"

Cyrus: Am I a part of you?

Me: -smiles- No

Cyrus: Thank god for that (whatever does he meant by that?)

I patted him in sympathy. He got bored with me and moved on to the next guy.

Yeah, that was my fifteen second.

There were so many things I should have said, "The goddess is my ego" or some sort of thing.

The thing I am trying to bring is, at the most unexpected times, the most unexpected questions come our way, and it is much too difficult to give an answer.

This short exchange happened when Cyrus Visited our Campus, but we were busy shooting the LIPDUB for IIMB, ( I will paste the link tomorrow, when it is uploaded on youtube ), but unfortunately, Leila, the one who made this all possible, fell down and hurt herself while filming, so she had to be rushed to the hospital.

There were all sorts of confusion after that: Who will take the shoot now? and What will happen to the LIPDUB now? Not heeding much to those, we all went where there were the most crowd. Cyrus was doing his show. So, like any other who have nothing better to do, I stood where everyone was standing. Then those questions came.

I was contemplating, what should have been the right approach to answer a question, instantly, on your feet. I suppose practice will help, but one generally do not practice such a thing unless it is presented to him by circumstances.

But then, I think it has nothing to do with thinking on the feet, the trick is not to answer the most acceptable one, but one that you believe in. It can be boring, strange, weird. But it is a part of one, a product of the self. And that is much more valuable then what is artificially produced by practicing some method to generate artificial answers.
