24*7!
I've to write something here ! Day One: I created the blog,I beautified it,changed fonts ,colors,layouts,I did everything but write something into it.
So,here goes,justice to my blog.Now,the million dollar question-what do I write about?Personal stuff on my blog is a no-no.So,nothing abt feeling low,breakups,in house fights.I'm 40 pages into my next read,so cant write abt that either.I havent travelled,trekked,bungee jumped,para sailed or done anything as exciting as that ever in my life .I watched a dumbass movie called "Apna Sapna money money" which seems to run solely on skin-shows(imagine ,3 gorgeous,skimpily dressed babes in the movie).So,cant possibly write abt that either.So..what ?
Yo,one thing that caught my attention in the past few days is the drama surrounding Anant's (adobe ceo's son) kidnapping.Alright,the kid was kidnapped,kept in custody,probably ransom was asked for,and then he was released.The news should have ended there,right?But,thanks to 24*7 news channels,it didnt!The media wasnt happy with just the boy returning home safe and sound.How did he return? By himself?Or an auto?Paid by kidnappers?Did the police rescue him or not?Was ransom given?How much?did they really give ransom?Y is the police hiding that from media?But anants father says ransom was asked for ?gah,this whole thing is a political ploy -screams media .Then Adobe CEO goes live to defend the police! Crazy..Man,even soap operas and mega tv serials do better than this .Reminds me of the whole "Prince falling into well" reality show..And if theres nothing else to chew about,theres always cricket..and noodlestraps.. and a complete professional,anatomical,biographical dissection of the Indian Cricket team(So what if these guys are making money by showing pearly white teeth and drinking energy drinks?Nope,they've to play good cricket on the field,not just in the ads.).I've never really understood the game of cricket and I never watch it unless its India pitted against Pakistan.To add to my woes,my husband is a complete sports buff.50% percent of our married life is spent in an eternal fight for the remote control..[I just wish I could implement a firewall for sports channels and wipe them off our tv forever]
So,where exactly is 24*7 news heading to ?Are we all going to die from an overdosage of Burkha Dutt,the Devils Advocate,Rajdeep Sardesai and the likes ?
