After quite a few days I managed to catch some news on Television (how peaceful can life be without this idiot box on mind). 9'O Clock News on NDTV. Half an hour and I'm screaming for Hope. Please bring some element of hope in the news apart from just distress.
What does it contain? Well for one a moving story on Child Rape victims. Then a brutal lathi charge on people in Chhatisgarh. A man fighting for his life with no money to pay for his treatment. And a reminder of the Friday blasts in Hyderabad. On business front there is this newly elected Chief Minister of UP, Ms Mayawati telling proudly that each decision of previous government will be reviewed. Great. Next thing we know would happen is another city being named after some poor souls sleeping peacefully in their graves only to be recalled in the statues that have to be erected. Interestingly, I wonder how many of us know that a mere name change of a city can cost a government upto 250 crores for all the documentation that needs to be revised etc etc. There is a lot in a name indeed I guess. And this is the same lady who's an accused in the Taj Mahal land case. Beware Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav, tough days ahead of you. What else is news? Don't ask me. Maybe some another incidence of moral policing? Or another shameless parade of toppers of CBSE in front of camera as if the rest of 99% students who couldn't figure there have no more to live for as their careers are doomed without a chance in St Stephen's or an SRCC or St Xavier's. Fuck it. I couldn't even watch it further.
And I ended up writing this post? Why? For once please for the sake of hopelessly hopeful people like me, don't take away that pleasure from us. Show me some hope somewhere?

"Show me some hope" sounds like a a plea from trembling vacuous a pair of knees n I feel this state does not suit you at all...
let's look at this hopeless situation in different a way, then it's a "Hankercacophoniouscarnival of realism" on the idiot box where varied TV channels (crammed with news readers with some plastic smiles n agonies plastered or slapped tight on their faces) fight to be the first ever in displaying a cause with reason or to b Gods & Goddesses of unnecessary things ..it's just a mindless battle to top the controversial topics or create a euphoric controversy out of something that invariably died out of its steam..the mindless violence on most Tv channels indicate their penchant to vie with horror movies (sure there's no escape)..show but would one sustain the interest n that assertive fight till the last mile? no, just report n vanish to some other land of piece of fresh crime..loud mouth karats!
watch "Travel & Living"....u did enjoy watching this channel
