Once upon a time... actually not very long ago, on a rainy afternoon:
During a break from working up the topmost part (read brain: lil of which is left :|) of my body on all the crazy calculations for my thesis , i was happily tasting the sweetest of the Alphonsoes dad had bought (aaaahaaa!!! heavenly) while checking out whats new on the teevee. I confess i prefer watching an English movie or prolly some interesting show on Mtv/ discovery/ animal planet/ nat geo/ zee cafe/ star world/ AXN if given a chance. But for a change, was browsing through the set of NEWS channels which mostly showed the same breaking news or top story when something happens. There was no progress on the Aarushi's murder case even after the CBI took over. Change! Stock market once again in the red. Change! I see something on Shirdi Sai baba in the breaking news and read on for a while as im one of the His many devotees. "Bhakton ki aastha ke saath khilvad, XXX tv ne kiya parda faash" **baffled look** So I Change! again... but this time, directly to the ABCtv channel where they were showing something on Him. What do i see?? no points for guessing.. Yes its a video of Sai Baba (no sound) in which he was talking and blinking his eyes too. Cud've left it showing the same.. but HEIGHTS: they were airing a show related to the video where in the people were debating whether its a fake or a real one!??!! whether someone actually captured the video or created it using the technology??!! Two channels going against each other... Whoa!! thats such a breaking news. SICK!! don't they have better things to show on news channels other than crazy anonymously posted videos of aliens/ghosts, revealing how a magic trick is performed, what people do in wrestling competitions >>>> all with some so called special effects where they circle a portion and say "yeh dekho blah blah blah", an arrow pointing as if thats something not spottable by human beings..... Yikes!!! Koooossssh bhi eh?? Some famAsS news channels they are :| i also hate the captions they give - PAAPI PAAPA, SHER SCOOTER PE.. wth??
By any chance if people working in the XXXtv or the ABCtv have read this attempted second blog of mine... try and do something to improve the quality of the news , will ye??!?!!
