ROZ KI BAAT

Where is the NEWS ?

 

1. NEWS

 

It is the short form of North – East –West –South.

 

But some channels particularly the HINDI ones feel it otherwise.

 

2. loZJs"B

 

          This Channel though having 2 local branches will FLASH Delhi news which has no importance even at local level just to create panic or havoc.

 

This Channel has further knack of SMS business. It will start this YES / NO business at the drop of hat.

 

3. KNOW ALL

 

        This Hindi Channel has mostly Mumbai based news. Recently it was displaying as BREAKING NEWS posting of several Police officers in and around Mumbai as the PM has re-shuffled his Cabinet.

 

4. ALL IS FAIR

 

This Channel in a fit to counter Cricket did not gave any news about IPL and followed the policy of all is fair in love and war. Since then, I have lost track of this channel.

 

5. MY WHITENESS

 

This Channel too comes in the bracket of Know all genre. Recently, it was following KHALI the great to every nook and corner of the World and proclaiming itself as if it has found Osama.

 

6. WHERE IS THE NEWS

 

          Now a days I am yet to figure out what is the time when news is telecast specially in Hindi Channels.

 

        Next, I am yet to figure out when a particular news slot is full of news.

 

        Now a days, you have to read news in the ticker only.

 

        Most of the FLASH / BREAKING NEWS, are no where in the next day’s Newspaper.

 

        Most of the time, it is Astrology, Cover story , Murder mystery, Khali, Sansani types. Even during News, one story is developed and spoon fed.

 

        Recently, two Hindi channels, I believe whose owners have scant regards to Hinduism, carried for hours Panditji type programme on the occasion of LUNAR and SOLAR eclipse even when these were not visible in India and even the staunchest of the Pandit had ruled out their effects or ill-effects on any Indian.

 

        News, now a days is not available according to you or when exactly when you want to see/hear.

 

        Thats why the NEWSPAPER still sells.
