Gossiping through the small screen

Gossiping through the small screen

Of late people sit mesmerized in front of the TV watching who talks behind whom. In the absence of real gossips going around houses, idlers sit glued to the small screen somehow realizing the object of life being fulfilled. The prime time is thus usurped by the popular channel giving a psychological label of dissecting the characters, their motives, their motivation and thus generalizing viewers. Devoid of music and melodrama this soap still finds viewers all over the state minting money from innocent watchers. The saddest thing is that the people are also made part of the game in the name of voters. Who knows how many voted and for whom? Novel devices are introduced to keep the inmates as well as the viewers engaged. Weirdest games are invented and incredible is made credible with the omnipresent cameras and an invisible, omnipotent manipulator. The characters are probably losers in the tinsel world and might have grabbed this wonderful opportunity to show themselves and incidentally earn some money as well. One or two victims to this show in each household will suffice to take control of the remote device and drive others to other chores. Let’s  also count days to get rid of this menace out of our home.
