OK. Seriously. I am furious.
What is a news channel for ? Reporting News ? To make the masses aware of something that has happened ? Seriously ?
HELL NO. Atleast some of the news channels don’t think so.
Has the standard fallen so much ? Has the Indian news media degraded so much ?
Fsck man. They show any freaking things to make a headline.
Look at India TV. Its a channel run by the famous guy Rajat Kapoor. And what are they showing ?
“The witch who wants Onions”
WTF ? That’s their “Special Report” ?
Apparently, the popular social networking site Orkut has gained so much importance in everybody’s lives that some people have started referring Orkut profiles to gather some information about that person. I mean, WTF ?
Todays MM carried this article about a girl who was found murdered in a hotel room. Apparently, she checked in with a guy recognized as “Manish Thakur”. Now, the newspaper carries the following lines in the article.
Interestingly, there is a Manish Thakur listed among Koushambi’s friends on Orkut. And this what she has to say about him: “Well, what to say about this sportive guy…he is really caring and loving guy…He is amazing, awesome and friendly. I need not describe him as anyone close to him must surely be aware of his abilities. He is an all-rounder..Be it in the field of studies, sports or music. He is a champ…Don’t u think so???â€
Manish Thakur’s profile on Orkut opens with: “Hi, this is Manish here. hope u will find it interesting with me. all the best. only good friends are allowed, thankx…â€
He gives his age as 28 and says he is on Orkut for friends, activity partners and business networking. In the space for residential address, he mentions two cities — Kolkata and Kochi.
So Orkut is a source of reference now ? WTF ? So if I make a profile on Orkut as a girl, I become a Girl ?
 Here’s Fifty Paise to the paper. Please print something sensible.
Everyone knows that India ain’t too good in Hockey, and that it sucks in football. So how do we go about improving the situation?
