Its tough to understand why we do what we do. Why is it that something that you can't have seems all the more appealing while something that you don't want comes your way and try as you might...it just wouldn't go away!! Why do somethings never get right...try as you might!And the biggest question of them all.... Why do I seem to put on weight whenever I put in efforts to lose it!!??
Life's taken me a full circle..it seems yesterday once more! Or is it? I've lost a lot more hair for one....They say that you get wiser as your hair turns gray......I think God's decided that I can't get wise...Coz by the time its time for my hair to go gray, I don't think I'll have any left. Oh well, this is all rambling....stuff you write when you don't have anything else to do....
Which reminds me...this is exactly what the jurnos today seem to be doin! God do I hate to see the news when they try and put it across stating that "Your channel was the first to break the news....!"Uhh... excuse me, my channel?? When did I buy you guys....? How can news be complete without cricket? So if Dhoni had a fight with Sehwag, it'll be flashed as the "Breaking News"! Everything is a "Breaking News!!" ... and I won't even get to the Hindi news channels! Ahh... and how can we forget the slick animations and the music that'll easily make it to top the charts in any thriller....I miss the good old days... when news was news and it was told the way it is supposed to be told. Today's media...especially TV has become highly irresponsible. For a few dollar's more they're willing to put the life of millions at stake....for sensationalizing the news, they're willing to stoop to any levels! God save the country where the media's doing what the police needs to do....! Often the stories are unsupported am unauthenticated but shown anyway.
Media Glare these days can Dwarf any simple looking News to become a Sensational Breaking News... & the news just fizzles out the moment the juicy part of the story gets exhausted... Remember the Goa murder case of the teenage foreign girl or the Aarushi murder case..... Where are they heading for...? The Sensational media coverage after bombarding our homes has suddenly found it fit to be dumped into oblivion....Where is the responsible journalism? The recent coverage of the DeraSachkhand and sikh violence was appalling. All the news channels were scrambling to show the "live" visuals of the tension....If a commoner like me can realize that it might enrage even more people, why can't the wise old men in the industry or the politicians see this? The Australia attacks...The responsible media would try and bring calm to the already simmering situation by trying to bridge the divide... but here we have our media up in arms against Australia as though the entire country is racist and the indian students in Australia should fight back....Retaliate is what they did...didn't they? Its scary to even think of the repercussions...
With great powers come great responsibility...The media has the great power of reaching to all.....I hope the media realizes this and wakes up to its responsibilities!!
