There is some real crap on air these days, in addition to the regular crap shown by news channels, when they run out of ideas, everything that happens around you turns into breaking news, shows like Rakhi Ka Swayamwar, Sach ka Saamna are given special shows on channels like India TV and Aaj Tak, it's like a small recap of episodes one can watch if they miss watching the main show, an indirect way of boosting TRP's
Well the controversy that has turned ugly is of Splitsvilla 2, Wonder why contestants like Swagata, Varun and Nailini are coming out with allegations after the show is over, and even if the contestants on show could have got personal with the staff, what has any one got to do with it, who cares, if there is some MMS of some contestant released, why make a fuss of what someone does in his/her private life, these contestants are just trying to grab some eyeballs, some cheap publicity stunt probably, news channels would use them for their TRP's for few days and for the coming days, they would be one's running around in court trying to prove their allegations correct of what they have told to press and on TV.
I have learned this lesson very well in life, there is nothing that you think is right or wrong for the person doing that thing, you have your morals, keep it to yourself, if you try correcting things around you according to your morals, you will fail, and be hated for what you are trying to do.
Things like RTI, press are like a illusion in the name of meduims to bring out the truth, nothing will change, these things not just exist in glamour world but all walks of life, in personal relationships, at academics, work, some things are better left untouched and even if you try changing them be ready to face the music, becuase showing guts is not enough, facing the storm post it is what matters.

Food Adulteration - The new hot topic for Media
It was back to back Taliban news that were making waves on channels like Aaj Tak, IBN 7, News 24 and India TV and now its special shows related to food adulteration that are airing on all these channels, i am really getting sick and tired watching even catching a glimpse of these shows, the drama they create in explanining a simple fact that everthing in this world that we eat or drink currently is adulterated, products like milk, dalda oil, fruits.
These same news keeps rotating on the news channels, whereas very little can be done about these scams.

Watchmen Movie Review
I was interested to watch the watchmen movie, however it took a long time for this movie to release in Pune, finally i got to see it this weekend, however i had read the watchmen comic before hand as i knew it was not just another super-hero movie which one could sit through, the story is dark and complex.
I had read few reviews about the film where critics had labeled this movie as a failure since they felt it did not meet the charm of the comic series, i was awed by the gripping story telling of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, in spite of this comic released way back in 1986-87, the comic series also has an interwoven story of The tales of the black freighter, which was cut out of movie.
Zack Snyder adapts the movie in a perfect way from the graphic novel, the best part is i enjoyed watching the movie as much as reading the comic series, while reading the comic series i found characters of Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach were much strong in terms of story telling, however the movie did equal justice to all characters as it explored the phases of a superhero group that is split and most of the members retired, re-group post the death of the senior most member of their group, Blake Edwards the comedian played by Jeffery Dean Morgan, who is killed and Rorschach is on the trail of the killer who is out to pin down this group of long forgotten superheroes.
Jackie Earle Haley plays the role of Rorschach to perfection, Rorschach's character is identified with moral absolutism, who has seen the real face of the savage nature of the human society hidden beneath the clothes of civil behavior, Malin Akerman plays the Silk Spectre II, she takes on the reigns of the super women act from her mother and has being staying with Dr. Manhattan at a military research center, eventually deserts Dr. Manhattan due to his growing display of non human feelings, Bill Crudup plays the blue super hero, who turns to matter changing, teleporting hero due to a lab accident strays away from his long time lover and drifts towards Silk Spectre II, Matthew Goode plays Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, one of the members of the watchmen group who has made his identity public an turned it to a money making business, Patrick Wilson plays the Nite Owl, the only member of the watchmen group with fancy gadgets, a owl eye shaped aircraft he eventually falls in love with Silk Spectre later in the movie.
This movie combines a good mix of action, story telling, suspense element, with good emotional content amidst the backdrop an impending nuclear threat to the world during the time of cold war between USA and Russia during the mid 80's. this movie almost 3 hours in length, considering the 12 series long comic book being crunched into a movie the director had to strech the movie length to do proper justice to the story.
one of the scenes which i really liked in the movie is where the Night Owl dreams kissing silk spectre on Mars and a nuclear explosion rocks the planet, rising cloud of fire, well it's something different to see from the regular swiss alps backdrop seen in our Hindi movies while the hero kisses the heroine.
