Let me shamelessly admit. I love them all.
Harmless tidbits involving movie stars, Tv stars or anyone famous than me (which the last time I checked, shockingly includes most of the adult population) would be great for starters. If you're like me who loves to go through the gossip mags on shelves or even better, browse useless online web sites, but consciously pretend you never ever read them, please raise your hands. Ok, keep up the good work of "Mission TattleTalk" from getting destroyed by those bland non-gossipers. Who by the way, are really leading pathetic, platonic lives. Not even worth gossiping about.
Back to juicy sound bytes, there are those personalized ones like getting the latest updates on our relatives and friends back home in India. Where, thanks to a zero-tolerance policy to privacy of life, everyone seems to have a deep, insightful knowledge of what the others around them are doing - who lost their job, who got married and living unhappily ever after, who got a new baby to make sure India stays heavily populated for the next decade. You name it; they got it. The gossipee and the gossiper (sorry, I couldn't come up with any other title apropos) always make sure they stay within the same grapevine network, trading places from time to time, providing unlimited fun element to their lives. Perfect working example of a "mutually entertaining society".
There's also some poetic justice in this whole world of gossip. How, you ask? Today's gossiper could become tomorrow's gossipee. You know, beware of what you say or it could come back and bite you later kind of a moral. I know - it's deep, eh? I surprise myself sometimes. But, hey, who wants to listen to these corny cliche's anyway? The answer is - not one soul, including me. So, ignore this paragraph, folks. Pretend you never read it. Forget about it.
And, tell me, what's cooking in your lives these days? I swear I won't tell anyone. My lips will be sealed. Except....only rarely....if it's really juicy and way too gossipy, there is a verrrry remote chance I might post it on this blog. But, don't worry, no one reads these stuff anyway. Go ahead. Pour it all out. My ears are polished, cleaned and wide open.
