Television…Is there anything watchable on tht ???

Well there used to be days, when on returning home for holidays i had only one thing on mind…finally TV dekh paoonga,!!!!!
Well these holidays changed my view towards it…

As any engineering student will tell u, (and I am referring to the holiday season…!!!!) tht u basically are jobless during tht time of the year…. and things were no different for me!!!
I started of my holidays trying to find solace with my T.V, but ended up attaining Nirvana of sorts..
I finally understood why it is called an Idiot Box, and with the way its going I guess more of u will attain it soon….
Well lets say watching television isn’t the same any more…..

U switch on to sony, star and zee and wht do u find, ekta kapoor and her team of excellent voodoos crying there hell out on those typical saans bahu dramas!!! Wht or who inspires them to come up with such ideas is one thing, but wht makes me pull my hair in madness is why the hell are these programs still persuaded with… don’t we hve any more creativity left in ourselves to come out with things better than this ….surely we can have something different…. Anything ,but not these. Please!!!!

Well this has been going on for long, so I moved on to the next area of interest, the movie channels…. Well well well… wht do we hve here…
U end up watching movies, even those actors wont remember they acted in, or else the same old ones …again and again and again, I surely need to know from where do they get these movies… surely u wont find Cd’s or dvd’s of such movies!!!! Surely Collectors Item….

I was never a fan of the music channels and wont be one soon too..
The same trailers are shown 24*7 till u basically memorize the whole stuff….and with the quality of movies coming up, well lemme put it this way… u are not missing anything if u are not watching them. Anyone seen tht Aap Ka Suroor trailer,(yes the Himesh movie tht too as an actor!!!), well u hve a song dedicated to Auto walas, now thts something different, but watchable?? Well I don’t think so…

Atleast I had my daily doze of sports to look forward too….. or did I??
Ten sports and Zee sports…. Icing on the cake tht has been baked by all the previous stuff I hve written!!!
There coverage of any sporting event is awful!!! Think of champions league and I feel chill down my spine.. Man from where do they get such expert commentators.. and in cricket u end up listening to guys such as Arun Lal , Manjrekar,Rameez Raja, a never ending list…!!! And if they keep bagging rights for covering major sporting events, I guess then newspaper or net would be a better place to follow these events!!!
Not tht Espn or Star Sports is doing some thing great… Who in the world would be interested to watch India play Pakistan in an year when Indira Gandhi was our PM.
Even in case of live sports, (atleast in India) they give preference to a cricket match. Just last week when Real Madrid was playing for the title, these guys were showing us the recording of W.I and England test match…!!!!

Finally u come to the news channels!!! Well u have a variety here, abt 70 in no, in all the major languages. Surely u will have some thing over here to watch…
U end up watching things which are as exciting or interesting as Sanjay Bangars’ batting!!!!
These channels are even more jobless than us guys!!! U have the same piece of news shown 24*7 as breaking news!!! Ash and Abhishek marrying was great , but covering it live for 5 days, 24*7 , tht too every channel…. Is it not being too monotonous!!!
It’s the same old stuff.
U want creativity and they end up showing nonsense on Bhoot and yogi baba’s.
]If that is not possible at least do simple things right and don’t mess up with the facts which u are showing!!!!


Well may be they have an idea up there sleeves which I cannot understand, because in a nation where u have 70% youth, they seem to be focusing on junta that comes in 70+ age
Bracket…..


At least there was something great from this T.V experience…. I just became a little more awesome…(www.awesome-ritukar.blogspot.com ….
