Now I understand why TV set is called IDIOT BOX

I remember during the summer holidays, while we were in schools we used to pass our time in a lot of creative activities. Our parents used to spend money according to their budget and there was no question of wasteful expenditure. We used to collect waste materials and give them some shape unlike the modern age children who spend most of their time either with TV or with Computer.

I had seen mostly in the media TV set is termed as IDIOT BOX. I was unable to understand the logic behind it. But with the passage of time the concept became crystal clear for me. To make my thought more communicative, I must say MERE AKLA PAR PADA PARDA HAT GAYA . When persons who are INSANES(ulti khopdi) instead of being INSAANS( a true human being) such as the great(?) Rahul Mahajan, Rakhi Sawant are treated as celebrities, all nasty deeds are shown in the name of KHATRON KA KHILADI, most of the channels show the same films repeatedly, serials which highlight extra marital affairs, intolerable violence and all sort of nuisance dominate the screen, all unrealistic things are shown in the reality shows what better word can you find other than IDIOT BOX?

One more thing that forced me to think that I.B is the most appropriate term for TV set is the result of India has got talent KHOJ 2 telecast on 2/10/2010. All the finalists with innovative ideas and concepts were discarded and the team which sang some oldies in a new form( we may call it remix version) were declared the winners. What happened to the Indian public? I must ask each one,please tell me honestly, do you think the Shillong group deserved the award? And who were the judges in the show, the persons who do not have sufficient assignments in hand in the film world, think it is a better choice to pass the time in such programmes. Sajid, Kiran and Sonali do you think that the group that bagged the award was better than the rest? It is a sin that you have committed by selecting the Shillong for the finals. Can they be any way compared with Diwakar-Sonia / Manas & Group/ Harihar Dash and above all Mandal and group. These boys under all adverse situation and without any minimum required infrastructure proved their worth and I was so sorry for the boy who was singing for the group.His voice was so enchanting and sweet and his performance so lively. Dear judges you ask yourselves are you not responsible for this disastrous result of IGT - KHOJ 2? If such is the Khoj I suggest you to stop your KHOJ henceforth or else the viewers would tell India lacks talent and the real talents will not be interested to participate in the show in future. The channel should also think seriously on the matter.
