DesiDabba - Boss, Thoda Sa Roomani Ho Jaye

For once the fat host is right. Today is Rakhi ke honewalle pati ke liya dua mangne ka din hai. #rakhisawant

And it can’t get more fake than this. This is like watching silicon work its magic in real life. #rakhisawant

How come the guju guy is putting haldi and not fem fem se gori gori cream? And where the fuck are his sardar brothers friends?!#rakhisawant

Guju guys sister is cute. But looks so zonked out? Took couple of shots to bare the pain of watching her brother commit marital suicide?#rs

Overdose of overacting we are being fed by these sidey television stars. Thank god for Fatafat digestive golies. #rakhisawant

So how long will this engagement tamasha last? I give it 3 months max. Then we will have sawant crying horse how she was duped by channel.

But I guess requires talent no to make normal folks aka the boyz’s family to over act? #rakhisawant

Unwanted 72 should be titled No 1 ad on the Unwated Tele Ads List. Cheap shit. #fail

Seriously the year only seems to get crappier. Well at least in the matter of me and my pick of favorite Indian celebrities. First it was Barkha Dutt, then it was Rakhi Sawant and now to make a certain nightmare a reality, it is ex-IPS officer Mrs. Kiran Bedi.

Now in order to make you understand the gravity of the situation, I have to dig a little in my past. When I was a kid (okay…stop grinning right now), so yeah as I was saying…when I was kid I was hugely inspired by a tele-series on Doordarshan titled “Udaan”. For those sleeping during this phase – Udaan, was one of the most popular serials on DD in the 1990s. Written and directed by Kavita Choudhary, who also happened to play the lead role of ‘Kalyani Singh’. The story, a typical Bollywood pot-boiler, struggle of a young woman aspiring to be an IPS officer. After several setbacks, Kalyani not only joins the IPS but with her sheer determination and some really ass kicking fight scenes, is given the post of an ASP.

I consider myself as a 28 year old with an equally active testosterone and other such related hormonal behaviour as any 18- or 20-year-old. And yet I don’t get the fascination (some) youths have developed for an ongoing reality show called Splitsvilla aired on MTV India.

In a nutshell Splitsvilla consists of 20 women vying for attention of two young men. The folks behind this reality show would like us to believe that the concept of the show is the search for True Love (along with a fetching sum of Rs 5 lakh.) Each week one girl’s fate rests in the hands of the two men, who have the power to vote her out of the show.

Reality Shows today are the “in-thing” and like others, I too immensely enjoy(ed) watching many of them. However I fail to see the point behind a show such as this and that too being heavily promoted by a channel responsible in so many ways for shaping the minds of our youth.

Formula for a successful reality show? Simple – Hire a celebrity. But not just any celebrity, a Bollywood superstar. Really, it’s that simple provided you have the monetary means to do so.

And to mark their entry into the competitive Indian television industry, COLORS has managed to just do that. Box-office action hero, Akshay Kumar is all set to make his small parda debut with reality show – Fear Factor Khatron Ke Khiladi. If I am not mistaken, this is basically a revival of desi-Fear Factor, which once upon a time was aired on AXN and hosted by what’shisface Mukul Dev.

Breaking News … CBI cordons off Sector 25 in Noida, breaking News, Lie detector Test on Krishna, Rama, Kumbhkarna. I am not able to find more characters to the string of names which come up on everyday news stories these days. The news items only pertain to Neeraj Grover’s gruesome murder or Aarushi and Hemant’s mystery. Or for a change cops charged for raping a woman, and the woman killing herself for not being heard by the Haryana Police.

I would rather the news channels dedicate their prime time for news which has more sense, than some botched up investigative cases which are of no consequence for people far across India. Instead, what these channels bring on the idiot boxes for all of us is nothing but Breaking News, which either has to do with cordoning off, lie detector tests or suicide which maybe murder. I shudder to think what the new age, impressionable children and teenagers are being fed with as far as news is concerned.
