At around 8 PM, I was leaving from office to House, was taken back by the news that there would be terrible traffic jams because of our PM's Visit to city, thereby closing of some roads during his commute. But I was fortunate enough to see no traffic jams at all, thanks to PM's Visit, for his visit news penetrated people so much that they made earlier eschew to Traffic Jam, Clearing my way to House spick n span. As I was passing each Traffic signal, I was getting happier that I am on time for Laughter Challenge show, ordered for dinner parcel on the way, for not missing any part of LC.
Laughter Challenge is really a show that attracts me much, but today's episode was not to the expectation. Browsed through some of the TV channels to see some good stuff, but could not find any. As a last resort to get me into something, I started Net to listen some songs, caught attention of latest song from Album Junoon, very good song by our forgotten ( not really, but not much in the news recently ) Abhijeet Sawant, 1st Indian Idol.
Now a days, Indian Idol, Idol-2 or for that matter any other such programmes like Sa re ga ma lost their sheen of showing pure singing competition, It's more of some kind of drama, wherein the Judges will give some contradictory ratings to singer and fighting over it. All these shows vying for TRP, least bothered of means of getting it. TV Ads are the worst hit in this, particularly the Airtel Advertise, I find it worth mentioning here, in which a boy meets his grandfather trying to lubricate the frictioned relationship of his PA n GrandPA, and gets happy with a mere simple talk over a Airtel phone between them, not uniting the family in true sense. Others like Amul Macho, Durian, are crossing the line, don't understand where the heck Sensor board is, Is there one?
Talking of TRP, To me the News Channels are leading the race of getting the TRP by crooked ways, In that Star News stands much ahead. I wonder is the Star News, a news channel, because I see there only NEWS of some one having second marriage without divorcing first, Hindu Muslim Marriage and their family opposition etc, and no news of Politics, Sports ( If at all then its Cricket with boredom discussions). This is not to say that News Channel like Aaj Tak, NDTV are good, it only implies that they are behind Star News but they are still in same line. The testimony for this is the way all News channel potrayed the Haneef as a Hero.
