I was just sitting at a relative's place. One would think watching TV would be boring, but it is actually interesting.
Other than 99% of the material on news channels, there is a lot of informative stuff.
Just now ABP news was telling about their 8:30 show about Rahul Gandhi raising his hands in a temple as if he was reading the namaz. This really makes one think. What is the point of watching football or Big Boss when our news channels can show so much masala?
Jokes apart, me and my wife were thinking of buying a TV set this Diwali...with all the offers on Amazon and Flipkart, we thought it would be stupid not to buy.
But not now, not after a leading channel like ABP news showing something like this. (I haven't really talked to the wife yet, but what's life without some wishful thinking?)
The same person might be a national hero in the morning, and she or he might end up being a traitor in the afternoon. Then of course that person is a heartthrob by the evening.
In all honesty, news channels are behaving like the boss who tells you to behave professionally when she or he is out of real arguments. Or like the neighborhood aunty who thinks your clothes dazzle too much and so you are spoiling the locality. You get the idea.
As for the news segment on Rahul Gandhi...it's already 8:31 pm!!!!
Good to see your blog post after one year. Looks like you got married also. Congratulations to both of you.
ReplyDeleteNews channels are the biggest entertainment. During the recent Kavanaugh hearing, a lady was sitting behind him. Her hands were folded and the three fingers were in the shape of W. A news channel said she is signaling about her "Whire Power".
Sorry typo. White Power.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back... and Congratulations !
ReplyDeleteAs for news channels, most of them play biased views of each situation... needless to say they make noise over nothing....
