These things get on my nerves... whenever theres something happening in the world.. our own grown and self moralized politicians start blaming something or the other for it. Now these days, the role of the politicians is also shared by the media.
Media was so far responsible for reporting news AS-IS, but has slowly become the haven for publicizing opinions and suggestions to common man without any ado. Who ever gave them that right. They are to report news, they way it happened. Instead they entice people and encourage them to form opinions, such as they construct their story. I remember, when Amitabh Bacchan had gone to the temple to offer prayers.. and stayed in the temple over the prescribed time limit, the correspondent on one news channel was so vociferous in alleging that a crime has been committed.. he was so narrating the incident as if he was the Judge and had the sole authority to decide what punishment will he serve. Is this News Reporting any more !!!! Let the appropriate action be taken by appropriate person by appropriate mechanism. Just cause some Idiot gave you the mike to stand on the road and speak.. you decide to dictate whats right and whats wrong. Do we really need this!!!
Again.. the number of news channels and they importance to the subject that they give. Boss its utterly humiliating at times to see all that. Its ok if you do not have news to show.. but is showing Amitab's son's wedding.. Sanjay Dutts ventuers FOR THE ENTIRE DAY called news or what. Is this India.. and is this all thats left to report for the entire day. A foreign news channel (BBC) reported about an Indian Army officer being killed on Line of Fire in India saving people the same day when all of our country news channel was busy waiting for the verdict of Sanjay Dutt's case. Hello.. any body there !!!
Politicians were not enough that we got these news channels. Here are some of the idiotic recommendations to save human kind....
Ban camera phones cause there can be voyeurism or MMS scandals..
MMS Scandal victim : "so what I allowed it to be clicked.. and i thought you wont share it. Now u disgraced my dignity. I thought i could trust you.. but u were so naughty..."
Voyeurism : this is a true issue.. but is banning the solution? say after you ban it, will it stop. It was there before the camera phones were invented.. and will be there even after you ban it. How about banning Cameras and Video Cameras production througout the world. Digicams available at as low as Rs 5000, does it really matter.
Ban Orkut cause people get kidnapped and killed or acts as a forum for talking bad about someone special on this planet...
so what those special people talk bad or audaciously vulgar about everyone else openly. India is truly democratic ... only for few it seems.
It gets nuttier
Ban cyber cafes since they allowed people to use Orkut from where someone allegedly accessed a hate community of somebody. No ... not just ban... blow them up!!!..Cyber cafes after all are not paying me for living.
Ban Valentines day cause ... its against our culture.
Ban outsiders (from other states) cause they took jobs away from insiders (homeland).. so insiders have right to vandalize.. now dont complain.
This was just a thought. It came up again today since sadly few days back a rich kid got kidnapped and met with a tragic end.
So now dont share personal info on Orkut. Remove all your pics and images from there or you may be the next victim.
Maybe Yes....But, media did the right thing of flashing the news in all news channels about his kidnapping. So what they were told to keep quiet. So what the first time offenders came to know about the news flash and decided to kill the kidnapped son. So what the parents gave the 16 year old kid a big car to roam at nights. So what, the son called up his parents saying he wont come home.. and thats OK.
So what.. but please dont share personal info on Orkut... thats important. Bloody hell !!!

well, apart from Amitabh's son's wedding.. some new channels have stories on many families which are cruel.. We had a big LCD TV in our canteen and all day one particular hindi new channel was on was on.. Headlines were... "Lucknow ki ek pati ne kiya apni patni par jaan leva hamla", "Ek professor aur uske student ka naajayaz samband, proff. ke patni ne student ko sarre aam peeta". etc. etc... And the same headlines repeats whole day.. may be next day too... We thought are these things going on in our country... C'mon Give us a break now!!!
:)(i know m not suppose to smile, its a serious affir,still cant help myself) cos this reminds me everytime wen ammi asks bhai to put on a news channel, he shrugs off and says..."kya dekhna hai aapko...wohi 3-4 balatkaar aur koi non-operational sting operation hoga" :)
anyways...makes me wonder has the media (tube and tabloid) now switched role and taken over the director's chair of mainstream cinema..catering entertainment? i mean , how do they justify their existense...i m just another information seeker and since i want to carve my own informed opinions..how do i go about it?and moral policing...naaaah...lets talk about it some other time and not on a public forum..might lead to banning blogging:)
