Ten Thousand I Saw At A Glance! XD

I am happy ^_^

The blog has been hugely successful, apparently. It’s got 10k hits in just 3 months and 11 days! :)

Don’t trust me? See for yourself! Here. See the graphical representation here. And remember graphs and statistics don’t lie :P

Hope you readers/contributors have had as much fun as I have while doing this whole thing.

+ The acceptance for the new theme has been great, now even I like it more than the previous theme!

Also, I mean wow, 10k hits is great. Next step? 1,00,000 obviously! XD

However change is inevitable so I don’t know where the blog is gonna go. But I do hope the readers don’t go :P

Thanks,

The Dhokla

India Day: Part II

“The title track of Kaminey should be our national anthem!”

Post talks about: News which moves (News on TV, heard of it?)

For some reason, even though blogging is a form of media and I have read a few comments saying that this blog is like their evening news and stuff but the fact of the matter is that even though this blog maybe in someway a small part of the whole media ecosystem, it doesn’t lie and tries to bring you the facts with a bit of zing and in the face attitude, which let’s face it the mainstream media cannot do. Now wth is mainstream media? I don’t know, fucking CNN and shit. The mainstream media likes blowing things out of proportion, because it’s their business to make/create news. The more weird the news is the more people are gonna watch that particular broadcast more and thus the channel and thus the TV ratings for that particular channel goes up. Simple business.

Now let’s take a present example. If you watched news like 5 days back. You’d see the detained Shah Rukh Khan speaking about it in a press release. It here = him being detained at an American airport and then the things which happened with him. Now at the same time there was an issue of draught in the whole fucking country, like 50% of the country is in defict of rainfall already. But that wasn’t the headlines. :|

So 50% of the India is less important than a single guy who has done 70 films?

And even if you make it the headlines about SRK and shit, for the love of Google just stop with making animated sketches of him and the people who detained him and showing that as a slide on your stupid Hindi news channel? What the fuck is wrong with us/you?

The media says they show what the people want to see. Question of the day: Do people really want to see how one man was detained or do they want to see how they are going to suffer because of less rainfall?

I doubt the people living in this country are that dumb, I mean we are dumb but we aren’t that dumb right? :P

I mean we are selfish right? How is that guy getting detained gonna affect us? After 9/11 we all know what America does, why it does it and that it is not gonna stop.

Also, you probably have heard of this but with great power comes great responsibility. We all know the media can take the government down if they really want to, but they won’t. Setting hai boss =P

But here it is, straight out:  I understand 26/11 was their first time with hands on action and live terrorism but dude, come on think about it if you show every movement of what the NSG and the police and the other forces on national television you are just being stupid.

I mean sure censorship sucks but you are putting people’s life at risk there. :|

Also the people who read the fucking news (not the people the newsreaders :@), EXCUSE ME DUDE COME ON SHOW A LITTLE EXPRESSION ON YOUR FUCKED UP FACE. I MEAN YOU LOOK PATHETIC YOU LITTLE SLUT WITH YOUR FUCKING MAKEUP AND YOUR BIG GLASSES AND YOUR OILY HAIR BUT COME ON TRY OKAY? TRRRRY!

Bullshit.

No disrespect to Mr.Khan, btw.
