WHO? Who's WHO? Nah its not an extract from the potter septalogy!! Its a higher breed of wicked villians far more superior than the voldemort series 7.0!WHO is an acronym for World's most Horrifying Objects a.k.a our infamous media! Lot has been said about the media lately(most of which is sadly true!) and they still continue to rule human minds through their irresponsible liberal power... therefore; exercising my right of a democratic citizen... here's my foul take on the Indian Media!
What is the media responsible for? - the question may qualify as a 5 mark question in some god forsaken examination; but you definately would need to mug up the answer in case you are appearing for this one... coz practicality wont be your aide here!! The brutal commercialism of the Indian Media seems to have reached its boiling point now... I mean its National & International News that we are talking about folks... and not some Kekta Kapoor's saas bahu saga where the melodrama is probably far more mellower than any news channel. For instance... in case you happen to watch the news channels... you would agree that most of them leave the main gist of the news aside; our media people are busy making their own pot boilers and getting into nitty gritties of what would would have been rather than what has exactly happened! They are the ones who are so bloody OUT of the box... that they end up giving innovative ideas to the miscreants rather than being a trustworthy source of inspiration and hope to the common man!
Sadly the media feels it is more important to "sensationalise" to grab attention of their not so important news through the day! I mean obviously what else would they have to telecast 24 by 7 and for 365 days!!! These entertainment honchos have a lot in store, right from feeds from "reality" shows to re-runs of half baked comic capers, to sensational horrifying news of crime scenes which were earlier lost between the lines of newspapers! I say let them be lost between the lines people... WE have a lot more to worry about than the increasing number of kids and livestock getting stuck in a potholes!!! Whats the point in empathising with the world when you life itself is in such a mess!
To be honest, I too was dragged in by the addictiveness of the modern news channels, and everytime I would end up living a million lives trying to fit into the shoes of various characters that have undergone the so called misery!! To top it up my folks would come up with completely miserable takes and the "how would this affect you" syndrome. I mean people... take my sincere advice... try staying away from news for a week... (though you would end up feeling a complete fool in the hot topic discussion on why did a certain star broke up with a certain star whose relationship was primarily a rumour...so on) The complete divorse from the world would lead you to peace and give you ample amount of time and energy to untangle your own life!!
