This and That

Wow…what a start of the year..AR Rahman got the Golden Globe, Slumdog has been nominated for Oscars, only yesterday cricketers had been bought for huge sums…great!..looking at the amount spent on “trading” of the cricketers who would say that some Global economy slow down is happening somewhere. I seriously wished I was a guy and a crickter too. But alas, that not to be..!

Wait, while wishing of being a guy/boy, have you seen the promo of a new show called ” Na aana iss desh Ladoo” on Colours? My my, what shocking promo. I have heard that in some parts of our country they kill the baby girl by drowing her on a milkpot. The images are disturbing. Some truths are always disturbing. The shows makers must have wanted the disturbing effect on the viewers may be that is the reason for such shocking promos. They have got that in me..seriously. Lets wait and see what the show brings. But yeah, Colours have some good shows.

Talking of shows on TV, even NDTV Imagine has some interesting shows as well. Not like those usual Saas-Baahu types and really enjoyable. I personally like Saas,Bahu aur Saajish on Star News. I only get to see that on Sundays but I like that. Some shows have suddenly gone off air. Noone knows what had happened. These days Channels are dominated by “Reality shows”. What reality they show..wow. MTV Rodies, those young kids the way they hurl abuses at fellow rodies amazing. The celebrity judges fights, celebrity contestants tears and smiles..my my. TV was never more real. But I sometimes wish TV could have stayed reel only, rather than becoming so real.

    A review of TV and entertainment arena? Good one… They use shocking pictures for many purposes and there is always a dilemma about ethical concerns… If it is for commercial purpose, then it won”t be good even if it is done with good intent… For social messages too, the use of horribly shocking pictures and video footage is controversial… I am not sure if they always bring good change, some times they also create bad / negative effect for innocent small children if they watch them… (Rahul)
