what is the fuss all about


it is becoming a madhouse out here.. every third channel on a television set (whjich has the entire set of some 150 odd channel) is a sports channel .. another third is a news channel.. and the rest is channels which keep spinning out the same moviw and same song over and over again.. coming to the print section every newspaper wants to be evrywhere.. hindu in mumbai. times in chennai.. deccan chronicle everywhere.. prices at a rock bottom of Rs.1 !! has india become a society which can never have enuf of news.. the word news becomes redundant with the news channels being forced tyo repeat their telecasts everywhere..

the craze to be the first leads to the wrong info..i remember once when an established news channel once pronounced the now Late Murasoli Maran deaqd atleast a couple of months before the minister died.. seems like they are not even willing to relent even in the case of death.. may God bless those souls who die more than one heroic death...

sports is one field wher the media never seems to hav enuf of anything.. the best ex ample being the stats in cricket i do expect the situation to come where people will start analysing say how many runs a bowler gives in the first ball in all his matches so far or how many runs a batsman scores of the first ball he faces.. and then once in a while when a complaint comes that they are focusiing too much on cricket they start talkin abt Sania.. what happened the wonderfully talented Chess players who claim a title everytime they step out on the international circuit..(how unlike the indian cricket team which finds it difficult every time there is more than 2 teams).. the media may hav a defense that the whole nation cares only abt cricket and the media is after yet another of thge money spinning industries.. but wud they care to enlighten us abt the other things..

movies next..
i shall call an end to "my grudge against the media Part 1)becos shud i continue the blog will become painfully long to read thru.. so ..

i will be back
