t for tsunami t for tamasha

tsunami, rare phenomenon but why the extensive and perennial media coverage, i mean duh we do know that ppl have been fatally injured or left homeless, but repeating the info hazaar times is really a waste of valuable air time and a test on viewer patience. realize the fact that these images are not of playboy pyjama party but about destitutes helpless yelling. there is absolutely no need to drill it into our minds that ppl are dead i guess we all know that man cant survive in water for long as we breathe thru lungs and also we can surmise that tsunami is something to do with drowning. if the idea is to ask for help, then please they can just post a message for the litereates or play a piece that does not really show us the faces of dead decaying corpses.

another thing i find disturbing is that the tsunami has ended up being favotrite teatime banter i guess it has taken the much coveted place of the k serials and smriti iranis even kareenas love life has taken a backseat, the trivialising of an issue of such mammoth proportions is detrimental to its cause and the over publicity that the media is aiming at to portray the tsunami to be is turning to be a catch 22 situation if the tsunaminis talked of in the same breath as the dps scandal, then i feel our mindset becomes one of a third party spectator and lesse participation.

i am not against appeals over mass media it is the single most intelligent to do but hey gimme a break please do not bug the junta that needs a break from a tiring day at work and relaxes in front of the tv
