The news channels ... :)

Hi guys ....... this is abhijit and i welcome you to "kab tak" (tadpaoge) [:D]... well not talking much crap . lets come to point.... Some years before, the news was the prime time item that our father figures used to watch with much interest and rapt attention... After a whole tiresome day at office or else. we need to have a quick outlook into the outside world. Whats happening where, and with TV , the info was at our doorstep, rather in our hands (in remote.. [8)]).. Doordarshan was the only way we could get the news then and the familiar ting tiding music used to bring everybody neat TVs.
Well now u can say that these days are past ... and the hip hop , happening , 24*7 news channels rampage the TV screens the whole day.. Now you can turn on the tv and can get at least 10 different news channels at your service... any time in the day/night..
The attempt is successful in some aspects , like more criminals are beings exposed ... even small small things are being screened on the TV . We obviously can tune to channel of our choice and get the required news .. We dont have to wait when the news will start, when will i get the business hour show n so on.. Thanks to channels like ,cnbc and ndtv .. we get to see some really informative discussions and programmes anchored by top class journalists.. ( Not to mention that ppl watch sherin bhan show fr some other reasons too .. [:P]...
Apart from this renewed class of journalism , we can see some really funny aspects of news channels and this article wants to focus on that only...
Up you Get in the morning and start the tv and tune to some news channel , you'll get all kind of masala... aerobics tutors(nice teachers ([;)]) , some baba comes in and starts his pravachanas , astrology biggies with their tarrot cards and all kind of mockery they do... You are waiting for your morning dose of imp business news and frustratingly you start roaming thru channels ...



Alas we get something useful , they suddenly take a commercial break and never return till half an hour ... Enough jhatake for the morning ... so you leave for office/college/watever .. [:)] ..
Now the day starts .. actually the problem is that unless you get some breaking (?) news , what will you show the whole day. So these people have unearthed new shows ... e.g . Somewhere in the rural india they go and find something seemingly untrue ... This is a very big country and you'll obviously get too many things that can be camouflaged into subtle time pass 1 hour shows..
One incident i clearly remember was like, aaj tak guys were showing a car which was running on delhi streets and the driver was not seen anywhere.... They showed this episode almost the whole day .. Alas we came to know that driver was sitting in back seat and driving by his legs .. [:D]... Now you cannot say for sure that the scene was naturally captured .. It could have been some master brain behind the play ..
Another area they find very useful is celebrity people . Whenever something happens with somebody big , they start showing his life since his/her birth .. His school , his college, what masti he did in his school days , the career start , growth, success draught and everything . The affairs not withstanding . The latest episode was regarding our dear sanjubaba.. when he was convicted under TADA , he was supposed to be taken to pune . Till they actually started , all channels (barring some respectful ones) showed the biography and where he went to take blessings and all. . The height of comedy was when journalist vans started following police vans carrying Mr Dutt.... The commentary started .. the van is going at 100 km/hr , now Mr Dutt is talking to him and so many things they continued to talk on ... (The previous jail experience story was obviously used as a background ).. After he reaches , he was not reachable to anybody but still these guys got the info which cell he is into , which kaidi number he got .5 hrs wasted. :) .

Sometimes they get so short of stories . they start showing the sas bahu sagas in fast forward mode . Now arent we already blessed in prime time hours by these unreal bahus ? But you dont get so many advertisements to fill in the hours , so you have to opt for such side track publicity of other TV shows..
Up comes the evening . But till its 10 , most of the channels behave as good boys .. They show good discussions , whole day news and everything that the news channels are meant for.
But dont raise your hopes , the main villain is yet to come .. The utra flashy shows like "Jurm" , "sansani" , "khauff" come up for your enjoyment (!). In shows like sansani , there's no need to have a really horryfying story . The anchor himself look so dangerous , he can be easily hired by ramsays for their next venture .. His accent and his dark(?) looks give you the thrilling experience which is absent in the actual story they show in next half an hour ...
They go to havelis and old villages which have the holy presence of unholy creatures .. [:P] .. Isnt it very interesting ? i myself cannot imagine who watches these shows.
After all this finishes , they start retelecast of all day activities .. The same crap they showed the whole day. Some channels are blessed with teleshopping ads .. Nowadays these guys sell "rudrakshas"... Very imminent people like alok nath , arun govil (ram in ramayan serial) and respected fellows tell the importance of wearing rudrakshas . A very captivating time .. [:D] ..
Enough tele bashing of news channels ... Ab wo bhi kya karenge bechare .. papi pet ka sawal hai .. [:D].. So manyfunny stories can be told about these things .. you people also can add in this thread ...
Hope you enjoyed our show . its time to say sayonara , bbye .. adieu.... [:)]....
