30 minutes of stardom

What people do for cheap popularity marvels the eyes. So many have lost their lives in the vain of being the name on waging tongue at a particular moment( Recall the BlackBerry Bold 5 craze of many girls years back ).

Didn't you  see the phone she uses now. Did you not notice the car key strapped to her middle finger all through the ceremony or the amount of money he spent on the couple during the nuptial dance - If these are the kind of topics you like hearing people discuss about you then you have a problem which I like to term "30minutes of stardom" . 

The name says it all, you are desperate for attention and publicity and would do just about anything to ensure that you are the most discussed item on the news bulletin at any moment.

So many have lost precious irreplaceable items to the quest of being popular, only to be disappointed when it lasts for only 30minutes because as vanity it can't last forever. 

Yes, for that 30mins you'll be at the apex of the world but after that time window you'll still be the same lonely, insecure, self absorbing person you were before the cheap fame and popularity.

The syndrome mostly is caused by the need to fill a void in ones life, and yes, it can be conquered by always having a new goal you set out to achieve that would keep you filled at all times with positive vibes, that way you won't be absorbed in thinking how to use lousy means to keep your troubled soul at bay.

PS: The use of 30minutes in this article means a very short while and not the actual 30minutes as told by a time piece.
