Media is just selling scrap

Yesterday while having dinner I was watching news and some channel was taking interview of Vikram Bhatt (Film maker) about the clandestine relationship of Aamir Khan. I watched it for sometime, and then said FO.

I don’t understand what media has to do with personal lives of anyone. Just because that person is a celebrity doesn’t mean all his acts and actions should come under lime light. That’s his personal life; let him do what ever he wants.

This is not the only case… just few days back Karishma Kapoor’s broken marriage was in news… and people were so interested in watching it…and not only that, after watching, the whole issue being discussed in various groups and everyone giving their personal comments (vishesh tippani).

It somehow irritates me a lot, there is so much to capture and discuss but the media just want masala… infact they make masala out of simple stuff.

Disgusting!!!

After capturing the rains in Mumbai, did any media channel captured whether the family of victims and the people who have suffered losses got any compensation… and what should be done to do so?
The state government has asked some huge compensation from the central government, which has been duly sanctioned too… but where will this money go…
Is there any accountability? What are the ground realities?
Better to capture that…

Some of my friend’s houses were filled with water and they have suffered huge losses but no one has come to their place to do any enquiry…and I’m sure this will be the case with most of the sufferers.


Mumbai - 26th July 05

Money will be sanctioned and will be swallowed by the politicians… and don’t be surprised to find a surcharge being imposed by the Government in the next Budget.

What is Media doing over here… they only want their TRP ratings…

I still don’t understand why people enjoy discussing celebrities’ private life, infact for that matter discussing anybody’s private life. Covering it as a news line is still ok but the amount of footage they give is certainly not worth.

This reminds me of the dialogue of Raj Kumar
“Jinke Ghar Kanch Ke Hote Hain…
Woh Auro Ke Ghar Main Pathar Nahin Feka Karte”
Mujhe yaakin hain aaj ki taarikh main ghar bhale hi kanch ke na ho par hum sabke ghar ke kuch hissey zarur kaanch ke hain.

Appreciate a person for his profession unless he is known to you at a personal level.

The easiest thing is to criticise and the toughest is to accept it.
