After a few hours of study (I have an exam tomorrow...), I decided to give myself a break and picked up the day's newspaper. Tucked cosily in the front page was this little article on Ash's n junior AB's engagement. And well, somehow; the article about India's stance over UNSC permanent seat looked useless and laid back. This is what gossip and continuous lime light on a certain issue, however irrelevant, does. And then, as I was being happy about the fact that HT doesn't smear HT City to its main newspaper; there it was, in front of me, a whole sprawling page giving immaculate details of every aspect of life of soon to be engaged couple. From their birth to schooling to their drop out...everything was there. Adding some spice to it, I daresay, one could write a biography of either of the two.
Why is it that we are fed all this as our daily diet of news? The candid answer would be - Because we ask for it. It is better to have some spice in everything in life, and newspaper is no exception. Supplying mundane news all the time will surely lead to bankruptcy of these media houses. Having said that, there has to be a proper balance in their approach. In ICE age, C (communication) and E (Entertainment) have taken a large precedence over I (Information). This is a matter of concern.
For instance, in the above news material, the common man is least bit bothered about their schooling, what they eat, what languages do they know, etc. I view them as actors, appreciate some of their work, and that is about it.
And oh, by the way, did i tell you that I don't think that this relationship will work out????
He He...here is my spice to the story ;) But i seriously don't think that it will work, my premonition...All the best AB and AR...
