Re: News and 'Whews-Good one Kishoreda,and whose life,Prabha'

[Guest guest]

Any life, in general, cut short by drugs - that's what I meant.

However, Shyam, much as I would like to pass it off as " oonche log, oonchi

pasand " , unfortunately, that is not the case. Kiran Bedi, in a recent interview,

said that drug abuse is rampant across all sections of society - and she should

know. This case made headlines, for obvious reasons, and Rahul Mahajan survived

because he had access to good medical care. The poor/middle class druggies die

miserable, anonymous deaths. That is the only difference. 25 Kg of cocaine was

confiscated in Bhopal yesterday - and Bhopal is a small city. Where was it meant

to be distributed ? To school children ? College students ? The ultra rich ? We

don't have many ultra rich here.

Re: News and 'Whews'

Pretty much representative of the balderdash dished out on most news channels.

As for Rahul Mahajan's sordid story, it is positively appalling. Double

standards at their best - the Zarru chappie is in police custody while the

Mahajan kid hasn't even been questioned even though he is off the ventilator.

The whole thing has showcased one thing - it is extremely easy to get and do

drugs. I feel scared for children growing up in such an increasingly permissive

society. What is worse than a young, promising life cut short by wilful use of

drugs ? Why do we accept this ?

News channels are actually comedy channels. Here is a typical interview.

A slim and petite girl shifts her wayward curl of hair from her eyes and

almost

obscenely grasping a huge microphone to her mouth, seductively croons, " Hi!

I am Divya from News Whews! I am standing right outside the hospital where

Rahul is admitted in a serious condition with drug overdose. We have with us

a senior party official, Mr. Gyanchand. "

The camera then pans to a spectacled, bald man looking unsmilingly at the

camera. He looks as if he is afraid the camera will bite him. The cameraman

finding nothing attractive enough to hold his attention, shifts back to

Divya,

who promptly catches that errant curl of hair back from her eye.

" Sir, can you tell us if Rahul is in a very serious condition? "

Gyanchand clears his throat. You almost expect him to ask our little Divya

why else would one be admitted to an ICU. However, he controls himself, and

standing stiffly says, " Yes! Rahul is in a serious condition but doctors are

trying their best. " Actually, I have never seen any situation where doctors

are

not trying their best.

Divya smiles inappropriately at this juncture and pulls the huge microphone

away from Gyanchand and nearly swallows it herself. " Sir, there is news that

drugs were involved in this mishap. Can you tell us something about this? "

Gyanchand mops his sweating forehead, which is a rather large expanse.

You cannot say whether he is sweating from the camera light heat or from

the hot Divya or from her uncomfortable question. " It is difficult to say

much

at this juncture. We are exploring this case from all angles. "

We expect Divya to catch our Gyanchand and ask him who exactly is the

'we'. But there is no such luck. Divya continues with her inane questions.

" But have you ruled out drugs as a cause? Or do you suspect some foul play

or conspiracy? "

Gyanchand's hanky is now positively drenched with sweat. " No! We are not

ruling out anything. This time the police will conduct a detailed

investigation "

Aha! So normally the police do not conduct a detailed investigation?

But Divya does not labour this point. She wipes away the curl of hair again

and asks into the large bright orange microphone, " Isn't it very sad that

tragedy should strike the household so soon? "

Gyanchand looks almost stunned. Instead of asking Divya if she would prefer

a comedy or a song and dance situation he mellowly answers, " Yes! It is

indeed a tragedy not only for the family, but for all of us. "

At this juncture, Divya could have made mincemeat out of him by asking him

how it is a tragedy for all of us, but she persists in her vanilla flavoured

line of

questions, " Sir, what are the chances of complete recovery? "

Instead of shouting at Divya that she should ask such stupid questions to

some astrologer or a parrot-future-card teller, or better still, a

numerologist,

who will advise Rahul to spell his name as Raahuul to avoid any harmful

effects from drugs, Gyanchand meekly says, " It is very difficult to say at

this

stage. We are careful observing any change in his condition. The doctors are

trying their best. We can all pray for Rahul in the meantime. "

Divya looks as if she has reached her orgasm and wipes up her interview with

an out-of-place grin, " Thank you, sir. That was most informative. How did

you

get so much information about Rahul, when no one is being allowed inside

the hospital? "

Now it is Gyanchand's turn to smile, " Oh! Just before starting for the

hospital,

I was watching your news channel. I just repeated what I heard on your

channel. "

Excellent Kishoreda.... looks like you are back in your element once again!

Shyam...... don't tell me you are so naive...... aaj ki duniya mein how can

you not be scared about these things? Drugs, smoking, partying ..... there is no

chota, bada in these issues.

Shyamji apna zamana gaya.... Now we have to make sure that our kids have the

intelligence and courage to make the right choice at every such juncture in

their lives.
