I dont have anything to say a...WOW :) On the Point! I dont have anything to say about the mentioned programs because I've chosen NOT to watch any TV!! Seriously. I grew up 'Playing' with the children in the colony. Yes, the family was forever competing against the neighbors! Woe to me whenever the report card comes. Never got the First Rank! While the neighbor's daughter got it!!! Oh but I did make up for it with the Excellent in Studies Award! LOL<br /><br />High School and College - TV - From Buffy to Ally Mc Beal to Practice to Xena to Friends to CSI ... pan it to Supernatural and Dr House MD and MASH 4077!!! Yea, chronological order is wrong. That's because I cut the cable and became selective of what I watched. <br /><br />OK, E tell me what happens when a child is born? The incessant crying, the lingering pain, the visitors ... then, the TV !!! I've lived with families who have new-borns - Its the same everywhere. TV provides the lullaby. TV is the Baby-sitter, the nourisher. <br /><br />I'm not gonna quote some science or scientific journal but I do believe that this generation is the way it is because it has lost that 'bonding' with the mothers. Everything is a SHOW. Marriage, babies, children ... If you have a talented child - PUT him on TV if you dont you are NOT a good parent, you are NOT nourishing the talent of the child!!! WAH WAH WAH Kya logic hai! *yea, being sarcastic* <br /><br />Its no more, thank God Alhamdollillah I have such a good child / husband / wife ... OH NO One HAS to show off just how good their 'Things' are to the outer world and get praised - then they know that what they have is indeed the Best! <br /><br />*One of the reasons I made my blog Private - I did not want the praises ! And now the reason I did end up making a Public Blog along with the Private one ... I blew a fuse in my head when I saw that even the BEST amongst the youngsters can be pressurized and I thought - I've got to make a stand! <br /><br />Will man ever understand the pure happiness of beholding a Gift from God which is meant for him and only him and not derive a perverse pleasure from showing it off!?<br /><br />PS: Good to see you back :)Loveena Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12419914133568382826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-64123321243478665032010-03-23T23:08:13.379+05:302010-03-23T23:08:13.379+05:30Dear N,

It really must have been a long time since I wrote!! Look at you! You have become a school headmistress!! ;-) Henry James is ok. Mr. Woods thinks he is good. I will write, ma'am.<br /><br />Dear A,<br />I agree...<br /><br />Dear P,<br />Long time! Perhaps they check their phone because it is a weekend!!

My father would tell me, " Why do you cry? Would your tears change anything? You say " how sad" and forget all about it. If you can do something, just do it. Do not waste time feeling sorry.." And that's why I read no news/watch any TV today. Because I can do nothing for flood/earthquake victims, stuck in my selfish life.. and soaps/reality shows are just plain irritating. <br />And yes, this constant craving for action/excitement is ruining us. I see students who cannot sit through an hour of class without checking their cell phones atleast twice-on a weekend! Like Bertrand Russell says, " a life too full of excitement is an exhausting life, in which continually stronger stimuli are needed to give the thrill that has come to be thought an essential pleasure ( no wonder the reality shows keep getting worse!). A person accustomed to too much excitement is like a person with a morbid craving for pepper, who comes at last to be unable even to taste a quantity of pepper which would cause anyone else to choke"<br /><br />We do not know to be silent.. so the clamour within transforms into noise without...<br /><br />Nice post dans l' ensemble.. :)Pinguhttp://www.questforidentity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-54845048907725208972010-03-23T12:35:32.655+05:302010-03-23T12:35:32.655+05:30There is almost only one thing that I watch on TV ...There is almost only one thing that I watch on TV - SRT creaming the ball through the covers and then raising his bat and helmet to the skies! :-)<br /><br />But then, there is the other problem as well - Internet. It's as bad as TV. I keep switching tabs, following links, spending a few seconds on each and end up somewhere with no idea of how I turned up there. The consciousness invariably shuts down while browsing randomly.<br /><br />Perhaps that is the problem. Lack of consciousness - that is in fact the only problem. :-)Agnibarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168495307511184238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9766640.post-24634730868023641562010-03-23T10:56:19.410+05:302010-03-23T10:56:19.410+05:30Henry James's writings are not interesting :-D...Henry James's writings are not interesting :-D...<br /><br />And DD had/has a lot of in depth analyses on all things literature, language, drama, dance - the arts - besideds of course the inevitable agriculture and cookery programs, in whatever regional language or dialect it may be.<br /><br />As I never tire of repeating, DD offers the best choice of programs, extremely interesting, sensible and more often than not, highly educating, day and night.
