We must use the expertise of Ehsingh to make all types of CDs / event films. He can conjure up events of any year and splice it with the freshly conjured current events and make them look real without a sweat. I heard once he tried to get into bollywood unsuccessfully. Then, it seems, he decided to write real life scripts. He now says this is more interesting and rewarding than fiction. His CV in this arena is commendable.
Move over Broadway, Milky Way and all ways. We now have reality shows unfolding on news channels. Move over sakshis and vadhus…we now have real Sibals, Rudys, Tiwaris, Javadekars and a score of others playing out comedy on the small screen in real time. We just can’t guess for nuts what may happen in the next episode…we don’t even know when the next episode will be aired…it could take days, a day, hours or even only minutes. In some cases the next scene is telecast as ‘breaking news’ even before the current one is concluded. Ha! What suspense! What drama. We also have those mega suspense dramas like the ‘Bofors’ and mini mega hits like the ‘Tehelka’, for instance. These come packaged for National and regional viewership.
The other day eminent scientists and bigwigs were discussing the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project on a popular news cannel. These guys were virtually shouting each other down. It was fun as it seemed nobody knew anything about what was to be discussed. Of course Arnabda didn’t mind that – you see It is commotion that brings in the TRPs; not the contents of the debate. This trend is an extension of what happens in our Parliament – those who shout the loudest will get more votes in the next elections… at least that is what we think our MPs think as they think democracy means elections and votes and nothing beyond. Governance, they think is the job of bureaucracy who let the Ms of P think what they want to think and perpetually make hay as the sun always shines for them! With so much of thinking going around what does a common man think? He can’t think because in this chaos he does not know what to think as he is unaware of himself. So he always lets others think. Others do not know that they are others and so they don’t think either. And fellow countrymen that is how inIndia
Do pardon me if you think, you think and I need to do a rethink!
