The Office - The best offensive sitcom ever!

 The title comes off as no surprise that I am "The Office" fan. The best thing about sitcoms have always been comedy from "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" to "The Big Ban Theory", even cartoons like "The Simpsons" to "Rick and Morty". All of them have weird, wild characters, an engaging, bumpy plot and aim to make the audience laugh with it's humorous jokes, gags etc. 

I recently stumbled upon "The Office" and realised it uses pranks, dumb, weird, sexual dialogues or creative insults to make people engage with it. Sometimes even as far as to go and offend not only the circustances of that person or a particular class, race, gender or sexual orientation. The cherry on the top is that it has purposely done it through characters who are unaware of how offensive or sensitive it is supposed to be which either makes us forgive the person or be amused even further at the person who does it. 

The bottomline of my love for "The Office" comes from the fact how far it can go to make a joke or how it can make seemingly light of situations that would actually be considered quite serious in the real world. 

For e.g. 

Halloween costumes and pranks

The episode where Michael fake-suicides in front of a bunch of kids during Halloween. 

The Office - Diversity Day - Race  

Where Michael assigns different ethnicities to everyone and brings out their cruel past or worst steretoypes.

The Office Sales Ethics - Offensive Slurs

P.s I wish they would have given it a shot just to roast him or Pam. Lmao xD

Getting references is half the problem, staying in the job is a real struggle

 Australia is a reference based market.  One of my friends, Puthun, said they put people's hard copy resumes in the bin straight away since they didn't come through a reference.  Another girl working at Coles said if they aren't hiring, then even references don't work.  Also, Japanese restaurants hire Japanese people, Korean restaurants will hire their own nationality etc. Nothing personal, they are likely to understand their language, their way of cooking. doing things around the café and be easier to work with the staff.  I got my first two jobs through reference but unfortunately, lost both of them, one of them, due to lack of meeting targets that were set for me and another one, I left since they postponed my payment every time I asked them when they were going to pay my salary.  I really admire people who get references, use it wisely and stay in the job no matter what, without getting kicked out, or leaving it voluntarily.  They are way better th...

When government going on "attack" mode on religion makes sense

 So, let me find something in support of the government,  Conducting raids at 28 locations in Chennai, Coimbatore and other places in connection with Paul Dhinakaran's Christian missionary ‘Jesus Calls’.  So, why was this done? Because, well... Legal Rights Observatory (LRO) has alleged that Christian Priest Dr Paul Dhinakaran misused the foreign funds received under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). A blog which highly condemns Dr. Paul Dhinkaran and his activities like healing center and claims that he practically started the trend of mega-church globe-trotting televangelists in Tamil Nadu.
