Hey ppl, here i am again!

The headlines of the day: Salman Khan was sentenced to seven or whatever years to prison!
Every possible news channel on TV screamed this damn news regularly.
Some asked if Salman was the victim of "bad judiciary"! Man, i thought he had "trouble and controversy" as his middle names... People obviously forgot that he ran over people on the road in a drunken state some years back or do they call it an "enchanted" state???
Ok, fine he is imprisoned,but the news doesn't end there! The next day the news channels say "Salman spends another night in prison!" "Salman is fed rotis and sabzi" "Salman's girlfriend visits him!".... HELL! Fine, where do you expect a prisoner to sleep? In some Seven star hotel??? What would you give a prisoner to eat?Food from The Oberoi hotel??? And who the hell cares if Katrina Kaif visits him or not?!!!


Today's Flash News:
There i was sitting in front of the Tv and it said flash news.Wondering if it were another fire or calamity,I stare in disbelief when it says "AIshwarya Rai injured during a shoot.Injures her little finger on her right hand".
This is the limit!!
Please,how does Aishwarya Rai "surviving" such an injury affect you or me?!!


A TV journalist interviews Sreeshanth after India's victory against England in the last ODI:
A million dollar question which everyone is dying to ask.... "How exactly did you celebrate the victory?" How enlightening!


A poll on a leading news channel:
"IS HERO WORSHIP A SOUTHERN PHENOMENON?"
This was after the Banglore riots following up Dr.RajKumar's demise.
I thought Amitabh Bachan was a North Indian and what did the "Northern" people do when he was in hospital?


Total crap!!! What's the country going to?

P.S. If you want the most important "SCOOP and GOSSIPS" about the filmdom,you've got the "Dont forget you got the scoop first on..."

Cheers.

Anyone knows which brand of paan is KVKK's favourite??? Sources say that this year 12th students are writing an article about this for 'Mystique'

and they dont commit sucide becoz they die ( remember one MGR and all)

News channels have always given more than required importance to rubbish. It's wat they do naturally and to be honest, most people care more about salman khans' prison diet than abt a volcano erupting in indonesia (or anything else for that matter).
Every news channl know there's only three things that get people's attention - Cricket, filmdon, and mahajan getting shot!
o and btw that was shocking that was!!

me said...

@anon2: Really?? We had a tough time coming up with ideas too but still...kvkk's favourite paan...?? Desperate aren't they?

Do let out steam now and then.....never be adiabatic; always be isothermal!!!

I read in many places that the mobs and protests(what exactly were they protesting about anyway?) that followed Dr.Rajkumar's death had less to do with hero worshipping him and more to do with bangoloreans feeling insecure about their identity. Try reading some of the reports..its quite hard to believe..

GKB:
Absolutely not anything to do with Dr.Rajkumar's demise!They showed it on NDTV.Man, they were more like bent on burning buses than paying homage.
Anin:
I accept it's a bit too much here but saying its only SouthIndians ain't right either.
me:
cricket and Mahajan are ok,but Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai is toooo much! But again,you are right,It just reflects the attitude of people.

Paddyman said...
