Howdy everyone!
Its been long since I made any appearance on the blog, thats because I was quite unsure about my blog's readership. Anyway, I have decided to continue writing...err...blogging, coz it provides platform to ease out my views on certain stuff!
To begin with, lets just not concentrate on the huge FUSS created over IPL's so-called "invite first and show the door policy" towards the Pakistani cricketers and move over real issues like the earthquake in Haiti and militants getting PARAGLIDING LESSONS. Yes, these should be the center of our concern right now and not some stupid row over cricketers not being sold at the auction center!
Haiti, who had even heard of that before that massive earthquake struck this little Caribbean nation?
Even though my memories take me back to my Third-Grade General Knowledge class, where I was once asked the capital of haiti, and I hadn't known by then (which by the way, I still don't know..sadly!). When did that earthquake happen?
huh! You asking me? well, sorry I'll have to google it right now to play that sort of number-game. True! Coz the indian news channels were busy highlighting Pak's concern over the exclusion of its cricketers in the IPL auction list or Showing the High times of Late Jyoti Basu (My repsects to him, but still, he was 96, was a great figure of respect in the Bengal, but why cover up the entire media for 2 long days showing only his greatness, we knew it already!). Or even better, THE MEDIA CHANNELS WERE BUSY PROMOTING RGV's RANN!
What kind of Ranneeti is that?
Ahh!, I think I just got my search result from Google- 12 January, 2010!
Thank You Google and wikipedia (next time I'm gonna donate something 2 u! ;))
Wow! i ws preparing for my Computer Graphics exams that night.
It was on 17th that I came to know about Haiti when I accidentally pushed the buttons 4 and 6 on my remote and lo! CNN appeared on my TV screen, showing the aftermath of the disastrous quake!
"The death toll is estimated at 200,000, according to Haitian government figures relayed by the European Commission, with 80,000 buried in mass graves. The commission now estimates that 2 million are homeless, up from 1.5 million, and says 250,000 are in need of urgent aid."
This is what the reporter said, that shocked me. Just to check, I changed to NDTV and ho ho ho! they were showing Mamata aunty expressing grief over the demise of Shri Basu. I thought should give a second chance to the Indian media, so I swapped over to AAJ TAK- what did i see............Veer Mahaveer, A desperate effort to promote Salman Khan's Veer and save it from disaster. Hehe! Who would care to watch such a fickle period condo anyway? There was no point in promoting such a worthless film. Another channel was busy pouring in buzz from the latest Reality shows. Buh! The Indian Media channels are simply trying their best to boost their TRPs (Whats that? Even I dont know,,,I'll google it and let u know, that is- If u will).
Whats wrong with the media? Why make fuss over useless issues like the more recent one- OF IPL's obstrusive way of excluding Pakistani cricketers from the IPL and Veer's box-office survival! And that has infact fumed the Indian viewers and MANTRI too. Nitish Kumar of Bihar slamming the IPL and asking it to be banned....Why? Coz it has inflicted the Indo-Pak relationship! HAHA! Indo-Pak relationship, like that was some kind of DOSTANA a few days back! Dear Mr. Nitish Kumar, I respect you for what you have done for Bihar and this country but would like to correct you here, banning IPL would result in the infliction of your own people against you! And why is Pakistan so much concerned about this? I respect the Country, but the truth is- The fuss created is truly misleading the people on both sides of the border. Its the rule of bidding, that a number of players be shortlisted for auction and only a selected few make it to the teams. And in case of this years IPL- there was hardly a dozen number of slots available for international players, it was not just the pakistani players who didnt make it, there were others too, well, they are not crying! Yes, Pakistan is the T20 champion and were the runners-up in the previous edition, but does that matter? Its the matter of form and time, time changes and things can go into invalidation too! Maybe, this year, West Indies emerges as the Champion, who knows, they have world class players too. And I was really disappointed to see greatmen like Rameez Raja and Wasim Akram raise concern over this issue. They are so much experienced and mature enough to understand such situations (especially after 26/11), but even they were whining on the newschannels. So, here is a message for all my Pakistani borthers and sisters out there- PLEASE DON't TAKE THIS AN AN INSULT TO YOUR NATION, IT WAS JUST PART OF BUSINESS! CONVERT THIS WEAKNESS INTO A STRENGTH AND BUILD ON IT AND REPLY HARD IN THE T20 WORLD CUP THAT FOLLOWS IPL!
Ho! Coming back to the media frenzy, the asles have really pissed me off with their virtue for pushing non-valid and insignificant matters over the top and that too repeatedly, making things echo inside the minds of the sensitive viewer! Go take a break, close down all your satellite links et all, we have CNN and BBC for news and STAR PLUS and ZEE for our Soup n pepper!
And Please, stop promoting RANN and Veer for God's sake and show some real news.
And when u come back, please stop creating fuss out of just anything or nothing!
Why this Fuss?
