India TV, A National Embaresment?

My Pick from the news is “INDIA TV”. This one channel pretends to be so caring to people, half of its news begin with “Hum aapko batate hain”, “India TV ki pehel se” and “Hum apne darshako ko aagah karna chahte hain”. Listening to any of these phrases, I always stick to this channel, only to know “Khali’s Lunch is my monthly meal”, “My brother, instead of getting into IIT, should buy a car and have fun as world will be over by the time he graduates”, “A child of a village has a cobra as his friend” and not to forget “Kalpana Chawla has resurrected the fourth time”!

I am sure if you flip channels and often come across India TV, you remember the ghost of grandma in the lift! The “pandit ji” of India TV is the best “pandit ji” I have ever seen! His first line is always a Sanskrit shlok! The next line is its English counter part! Then rest of his chat is in Hindi! Believe me if you havent noticed, he speaks for 5-10 minutes constantly in one breath!

Even right now they have Rakhi Sawant’s celebrations from 9X channel’s reality show! Rakhi is the second best species thy love after aliens ofcourse!

Recently, I stopped when I heard a cold voiced man saying “Wo aapki khidki se jhaankte hain”, “kya aap vishwaas karenge?”, “unki nazar har pal aap par hai”… I stopped to expect Income Tax department people, but figured out those were aliens instead!

Yesterday, all limits were crossed. The same heavy voice got into my ears ”wo aapke saath baithe hain”, “wo aapke saath TV dekhte hain”, “wo aapko jaante hain”… Looking at my dad, I thought they are talking about Father’s Day celebrations. But again, Aliens! “Hum shukr se aye hain”, “ji haan, ye hai khulasa India TV ka”, “hum insaan dharti k nahi, balki, aliens hain”… Looking at my brother who cracked every engineering entrance exam, I told my dad, “ye to pakka alien hi hai”!

If you are getting bored, feel like killing yourself, just wait! For 30minutes watch India TV, and you will feel like killing the channel reporters!
