I expected it to be a funny story but you changed the theme entirely. <br />Funny that i agree with your character, i risk sounding overtly religious here by saying that in the bible it is said that man is made in the image and likeness of God. So, Bhimsen can truly be all there is to be, if not for real, at least in his mind.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081727054873205705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-31091045806968963752010-04-18T23:23:58.834+05:302010-04-18T23:23:58.834+05:30Enjoyed your post.Enjoyed your post.Snehahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06815534005227272252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-38775412371966715062010-01-15T01:11:39.866+05:302010-01-15T01:11:39.866+05:30since i've been here, i see Psychedelic's ...since i've been here, i see Psychedelic's quite busy, i guess no time to swat files ;pChinmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539941718410240396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-63212681391200016482009-11-14T22:55:54.602+05:302009-11-14T22:55:54.602+05:30Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? ...Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? <br />Help, please.

I also partially agree with your assertion that people get the media they deserve. I do think that the media has a special responsibility to the Indian public, regardless of our voyeuristic and insensitive tastes, to conduct broadcasts in a dignified and fair manner .... I think we (the public) tend to be emotionally carried away or at times far too voyeuristic. The media shouldn't be using that as an excuse to feed our morbid curiosities. It must instead exercise caution and restraint and must strive to uphold dignity amongst morbidity.<BR/><BR/><BR/>@Dhanesh: Thanks for visiting and I am glad that you found it a detailed analysis. However, I didn't get your point about 'expecting a more progressive post from you'. Was that a compliment or a critique? .... Also, I agree we must not differentiate tragic loss of innocent life on the basis of caste/creed/gender/economic-class either way.<BR/><BR/>But that's exactly what has happened. If this were to have happened in our public transportation systems or mebbe to some rural part of India, our Page 3 socialites and celebrities would have just shook their heads in a moment of hypocritical sadness and then conveniently attend lavish parties at five-star hotels. Thus, the public outcry by celebrities and the rich is clearly a tacit admission of their stand: "were this to happen to the lower classes, we will be there to offer a few hollow words, but really! its not our problem! We have got packed schedules and busy hours! After all, we have to attend parties and hobnob with the powerful and gossip about who's gotten a new boyfriend or who's looking chic?!"Directionless Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667536436929439838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-64216069895519541352008-12-14T16:49:00.000+05:302008-12-14T16:49:00.000+05:30Impressive blog once again..But one point i want t...Impressive blog once again..But one point i want to assert is,the reason for the media to extract sound bytes from page3 fraternities and who's who of mumbai was that its the only thing which would bring a change.<BR/>Even if a sensible person like u would try to portray your share of woe,it wud nt be accounted for.<BR/>I believe every one knows the capitalistic environment we live in.It does nt matter whom they killed.The tiers of human categorization should not be exemplified.A loss is a loss.It is tragic nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>post 26/11 there was a rally to protest against the manslaughter..The anger was ebbing,but i was sure it would fizz out in the days to come..I hope id be proven wrong!!<BR/>I expected a more progressive post from you...<BR/>KudosDhaneshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734410469597695853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-74229182309410711602008-12-13T15:03:00.000+05:302008-12-13T15:03:00.000+05:30Interesting post!"This included no sense of respec...Interesting post!<BR/>"This included no sense of respect for the bodies of the victims and the forensic sanctity of the attack-sites, a complete lack of empathy for grieving relatives whose wailing requests for a few somber moments of privacy were unheeded by an intrusive media,"<BR/><BR/>IMO, these were the most egregious invasions of human dignity and privacy.....but, as in all democracies, the people get the government and media as they deserve.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, do you really think "we need our version of BBC"?......the news organization that has come to personify politically correct reporting?<BR/><BR/>My 2 cents, let the Indian media evolve and develop its own set of sensibilities aided by the process of natural selection.darksidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900742657299824467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-5726216576951670722008-12-12T21:24:00.000+05:302008-12-12T21:24:00.000+05:30@ Wata-Shi Va: yep, we sure do need our own versio...@ Wata-Shi Va: yep, we sure do need our own version of BBC .... but ironically, even the BBC was quoting Indian news channels like NDTV 24*7, Star News pretty extensively! .... nonetheless, the BBC represents some semblance of idealism and objectivity in an otherwise artless media.<BR/><BR/><BR/>And I shall post Op Tornado soon ....

An interesting read. ...@Nimit: Thanks for the link. An interesting read. Barkha Dutt sure knows how to argue her case! Although her arguments have some merit, it fails to satisfactorily convince me of the media's genuine concern due to which it behaved as it did.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, her assertion about how frivolous a lot of internet chatter surrounding the media's coverage is entirely correct. I concur with her point about how destructive such negative, petty, vehement criticism is. I, myself, do not subscribe to such vitriolic comments, which seem more an excuse in media-personality-bashing, than an attempt to astutely observe the media's pitfalls. But let that not be cited as an excuse to ignore the many other sane cynical voices both in cyber-world and real-world, whose critique of the media is based on detached assessment and neutral observations.<BR/><BR/>As far as her quotation of Narayan Murthy is concerned, I have this to say: Mr. Murthy is a great man, a man of stupendous vision and high moral principles. He must have been (and perhaps still is) a superb computer engineer and an astute businessman. (I have had the privilege to be present at one of his inspirational speeches and I was in awe of this man's humility and intelligence.) However, that does not automatically qualify him to make expert judgments on the media coverage. When he made those statements, he must have been perhaps emotionally overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the unfolding carnage. We all were. Therefore, he may have temporarily lost a sense of detached neutrality. We all did temporarily. However, some of us have made it our aim to be neutral and objective in our assessment. While it is painful to criticize each other, especially at a time like this and unity is the order of the day, we must not cover up incompetence/mediocrity under a cloak of "unity".<BR/><BR/>I also concede to her point of a lack of coordinated Govt. efforts to provide the right kind of information to media, so that any/all media speculation is nipped in the bud and informational vaccuum doesn't result. But again, that cannot be cited as an excuse to go on rampant speculation 24*7 on a minute by minute basis.<BR/><BR/>She also talks about the 'human dimension'! I find that extremely hard to digest, considering that the media sensationalizes the most idiotic things beyond the point of any 'emotional/human element'. The media is in part responsible for our de-humanization/de-sensitization to terrorist attacks, because even "sunhari machchli" or "dhongi baba ka chamatkar" is telecasted non-stop. When T.V. NEWS screams sensationalist propaganda 24*7, any genuinely sensational incident appears deceptively blase.<BR/><BR/><BR/>[I will incorporate some of these points in a subsequent EDIT-ADD of this post soon.]Directionless Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667536436929439838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-5287226529183825182008-12-12T15:08:00.000+05:302008-12-12T15:08:00.000+05:30When are you posting the RIPE analysis of Black To...When are you posting the RIPE analysis of Black Tornado ?? <BR/><BR/>I am thinking about writing an article on possible pre-emptive actions that GoI can take against terror camps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31175546.post-43437588255431565332008-12-12T15:07:00.000+05:302008-12-12T15:07:00.000+05:30The Media has again shown that it can't self regul...The Media has again shown that it can't self regulate itself.
