The tamasha of World cup cricket is over and suddenly our Tv newswalas find there is nothing dramatic to report. The campaigne for Bharat Rathna for Sachin seems to be going nowhere ( Stupid people like my self may ask why not give it to Viswanathan Anand whose achievements of being 3 times world chess champion is perhaps the greatest sporting feet from our nation for the last century)
There are no sensational murders in the Noida area to give 24x7 coverage. Elections are so boring and upper middle class is not much interested in that. In this very bad and dry situation a god send opportunity has come to then in the form of an agitation of Anna Hazare and our news gangs are now all over it.
Suddenly all our friendly neighborhood communist jholawalas, un/under employed filmwalas and Magastars ( mainly staring in advertisements) out to grab TV time are all are now fighting like female wrestlers in a mud pit to get their face and their two bit sermons to the nation on TV.
All kind of social networks in cyberspace are full of lazy people like myself making short statements. Media bhai log are all following which 3rd page personality twitting what and instantly putting on their paper/tv web pages.
School children are also brought to the Janthar Manter and asked to speak about corruption and how it should be eradicated. (Frankly I have no objection for a 10 year speaking as he/she has all the honesty and more knowledge/concern than Amir Khans of this world) Last I heard Jamtar Mantar (meaning maya type thing in Telugu) is looking like a mala with less than thousand people.
Earth shattering movement indeed.
News of support to Anna from around the nation is being reported on all TV’s and papers. Of course all you need is a couple of dozen people in front of a Camera to say that entire 1200 million Indians are participating in the protest of Anna.
In the meanwhile, the Italian Court Jholawalas in NAC seemed to be bit concerned that they are not getting Tv time and thus power to get donations is slipping from their hand. Lack of advertisement and non Tv coverage of their “civil society work” will naturally other goddies like tours in the foreign nation from Gora foundations also. So Sonia Manio also supports Anna
All the grilling Anil Ambani’s Ratan Tata’s and Neeara Radias is no longer hot for our media. Raja’s gangs members being bumped of one after another down in the south ( Too far from Noida yar and quite hot and they don’t speak Hindi and their English we don’t understand. How costly is to have our reporters there) is not news at all.
So make way for 21st century Ganthi and his gang of neo liberators boys. There is some time gap for IPL and we need some thing hot and spicy for our viewers.
Poor MMS who till recently busy covering Raja’s and Kalmadis ( or is it Italian gang?) etc is now busy answering Annas of this world as he lacked guts to withstand Jhola gangs made larger than life figures by day and night news coverage. He had to brief the President of India on this and Sonia has also graced his office. (I am not sure if she graced his office or he attended her at her house) There was some cabinet meetings also.
Kapil Sibbal has started discussions with the Super Busy Swami Agnivesh ( please don’t ask me Swamy of what) and one more person ( My lack knowledge about the Jholagang is really shameful and will try to improve it in future) and live coverage of each round.
Suddenly all this drama ended with MMS agreeing to the demands of Anna. Incidentally IPL also started at the same time. So the time gap entertainment show is over for some time. Wait carefully for some time till next empty slot in the TV show time.
