Media....hmm.....

Ha here am finally trying to type in something after months......I now have realised how fun life is working 24*7....minus the work I guess the brain really does not work a bit and so no thoughts and no blogs too!!!Through our lives (at least our genertion) has been really acquainted with the media like no other generation.Maybe the next generation will feel more of its effects.We grew with media maybe they will grow in the media.Thats how things are these days with everything from who sneezed and who slept 20 hours are making the news!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being pushed to watch the TV for the past 3 months , I have watched a hundred reality shows(where half the show is staged!!), a thousand stupid serials(all with the same story..watch 2 min of the show and you can be the script writer for the next 2000 episodes!!),a lakh interviews, a million news updates.Am in awe about the number of news items that gets telecasted in a news channel everyday.If one has missed all interviews, tv serials and reality shows..you just need not worry...switch on a news channel and the entertainment, glitz and glamour and reality there makes upto a million other tv channels!!!I really mean it.

There was a time when we really had , just the half or one hour news programs, then we had a few hours and now we have news channels in every language each running their string of stories! Am still thinking of why there are stories of me yawning and you laughing making it to the news and all the only answer I can get to is...they are running a 24 hours channel and unlike a news paper they need to be bribing the viewer with something or the other..So everything typically makes news!!!

I have been watching too many of these channels...tamil, hindi and english(guess should try out other languages also...guess it would be my free language course!!). News these days have been more of being tentative...there was a time when we saw just what happened and today i see what might happen, what might have happened behind scenes and what not. This day I have been seeing about this news exclusive about Sachin contemplating retirement on one channel, him not retiring in the other and what not!If Sachin is going to retire he will make a statement ,wont he???Why is everyone contemplating everything??We don't even know if that thought has crossed his mind, but everyones discussing of will he or wont he!!!!!!!We have so many of this might happen the first hour and this did not happen in the next hour!!!

All these keep happening but there are definitely those shows that really do convey what really is happening. We would have never known about all kidnappings and earthquakes and bomb blasts had it not been for these channels.Am happy atleast to see that we get to see the "real news" and also the fashion week at the same place.Atleast these news channels have become a place for everyone.Just tune in and get whatever you want.News, song, reviews, interviews,discussions, you name it and you have the perfect show dedicated for each of these.

Reality shows!!!!The trump card that every channel has these days!An indian idol, voice of india,sa re ga ma pa, super singer all have their own singing sensations, then there are the jodi no. 1's, nach baliye's and jhalak dikhlaja's all producing some dancers!!!!Some glitz, some glamour a pretty good no. of participants , some stage management, two non stop blah blah hosts, 3 judges and ya we have got one reality show. The only plus with all these shows, people we never knew became our acquaintances!!!Actually with some reality shows the prize money is so very catchy that it could actually set up the life for the winner!!!

All these said, what have I been doing all these days????Thank God I have got all these shows that would keep my brain from getting rusted.These shows after all save me from boredom and above all it has helped me write this blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
