Go to hell !!!

Indian Cricket League is like what Paris Hilton is to the fashion world. The Zee backed venture has manaaged to break the monopoly of BCCI over cricket in India. The high profile announcement of the Indian Cricket League’s (ICL) line up on the eve of the BCCI meeting in Mumbai did not go down well with the powerhouses of Indian Cricket thr BCCI

The new venture by Subhash Chandra has created a stir in the BCCI meeting and it also caught the ever cool Sharad Pawar on the backfoot. The political powerhouse has wrestled out of many sticky situations but this one did leave him with a bad taste in his mouth. he repeatedly told mediamen waiting outside the offcie “No comments, no comments” . However, the media persons kept pushing the same questions in different styles and the patience of Pawar Sahab finally gave way. Pawar shouted “Go to hell!” to a television journalist.

Bingo! Exactly what we wanted shouted media men form private channels as more fodder for media to paint the agriculture minister RED.

As for now Subhash Chandra and ICL these days. Just a honeymoon they sponsored but has turned into a nightmare for Pawar and the BCCI these days. Ouch!

What is NEWS

It was past midnight , I started visiting the Indian TV channels, but Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded to the court saying 'I'm the sole bread earner for my family', 'I have a daughter who is studying in US' and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict and also how he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months.

A suspect in Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act...was being transformed into a hero.

.....Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the terrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp, killed Hisbul Mujahidin's supremo and in the process lost his life to the bullets fired from an AK47. He is survived by a wife and daughter (just like Sanjay Dutt) who's only 18 months old.

Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' before he took the decision to attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel covered this since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect who's linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of him. Parents of Major Manish are still living and they have to live rest of their lives without their beloved son. His daughter won't ever see her daddy again.

So guys, we need to look at the way we present news. We need to reassess which news to give importance, as it is a shame for us since this Army Major's death news was given by a foreign TV channel!!!
