What is happening?

There are protests and deaths in the middle east,
And we choose to concentrate more on cricket.
There are nuclear crisis looming in close vicinity
there are earthquakes and tsunamis showing the force of nature
And we focus on How bright the moon is going to be and the superstitions associated with it.
There are pirates who are minors and in international waters
and we see that some actress will not dance with some hero.

Is it time to think of Media differently?

Yes we do have 24 hours News channels and they carry many things that seem important but they have become less logical. One of the headlines this morning was Clinton asked for information regarding the Indian economic policy makers. Does that mean they were influenced? That is what the news channels say. I am not a supporter of any political party but I am a proponent of good governance. This is a stupid debate seeking information about someone does not mean you are doing so to influence them there can be other possibilities why not focus on things where the media's help is needed.

Why are we not showing the plight of the people in rural areas who do not have medical care, schools, simple infrastructure. India is a country of villages and we focus on not focusing on them.
