I am deeply anguished by the manner the T.V. channels take us, the viewers, for granted!!! For Godness sake…… I am NOT interested in knowing what went wrong in the personal life of an XYZ film star. But I wonder why the T.V. channels give so much of time and resources on beaming day and night long programmes on why an actor/actress is not getting along with his/her partner, what conversation or e-mail exchange took place between them etc.. etc…
What intrigues me is that these channels dont stop at this; they transform this situation into a national crisis that demands attention of the entire nation. All this resulting in, viewers like me tormted by in-depth analysis of the situation channel after channel.
This makes me think, do the people running these TV channels think us Indians to be dumb idiots who thrive on gossips and sensation?

Sitting here, thinking, watching the sun go down
About life in general and the people around
The drastic changes in my life that have occurred so fast
The metamorphosis towards the present from the past
So taking a long trip down memory lane
Reflecting on the past and the present, joys & pain
The relationships that have come and gone along the way
Very few of them were meant to permanently stay
After being together for such a long time
Realising that a few treasured souls are worth a dime
And not being taken for granted like an old book collecting dust
But these things eventually do occur and cannot be avoided
Even to the mere mortals who are so easily deluded
The betrayals, disappointments, heartaches & torments
Are the expected things that happen at unexpected moments
But despite all the harshness of life that sometimes seems absurd
Some elements of good & happiness exist in every sense of the word
So cut down on expectations and take each day as it comes
Accept what life has to offer and content you will become

This morning while on my way to the office, I came across one of the usual sights….. a women begging at the traffic light with an infant that could barely pass as a human species. My glance caught hers and she walked to me, begging in the most usual tone. I looked at her but nothing moved me to reach out to my purse and give a magnanimous one rupee coin to her. She waited for precisely seven seconds, gave up on me and then started walking towards a red Swift that had just screeched in.
The light turned green and I assumed my ‘journey’ to the office. I had no regrets for not helping a ‘poor woman’. but i did question myself that – what is the threshhold when a person ceases to exist as a human being and becomes just a creature in human form. It applies both for me and the beggar woman, of course the contexts are diametrically opposite.

My blog was created in May’05. Its an anniversay gift from my hubby! he got me interested to the ‘blogging business’. though i think that blogging is pre-dominantly IT professionals domain. so for a person like me, who is neither tech savvy nor has a clue of how windows is differnet from mac., are there blogs on other issues? I wonder
Anyways, since May, almost everyday i would visit my site – sometimes to put a post but most of the time to look at the screen and contemplate what to write!!!
Last evening i took a bold step to change the theme….. i chose a theme went on to the host site fiddled around and bingo! my site theme turned into an array of commands and text that i couldnt decipher!!!
So reluctantly i had to run for aid…. my hubby got a chance to resuce this ‘damsel in distress’ and here i am writing again. However, in the process whatever little of the postings were there— is lost! So i am starting afresh…..
