The "IDIOT BOX "

Today being a holiday ,there was nothing much to do..Instead of reading a book , I thought of Surfing channels (which i regretted later ) . For, almost a hour I was just flipping through channels then I Came across INDIA TV ,which always highlights Good Breaking news like colonel’s lost dog , rat escaping a crow, Cows being kidnapped by aliens. Well ,this time it was even better.. It said that Kalyug had come to an end and some people have predicted it , and it also gave suggestions to enter satyug ,when kalyug ends..All this was made to look very realistic ,with scenes showing the end of world taken from Hollywood flicks ..Wow !! Really one hilarious channel..

Except a few news channels that concentrate on showing relevant news ,others resort to cheap publicity by showing things as if it were a daily soap.. Moreover , every news is shown to sensationalize the case..

Iam appalled at the lack of good content on TV nowdays . Absolutely nothing seems good enough to watch.
Also ,the new hindi movie trailers on TV ,are full of skin show ,sleaze ,style and absolute zero concept . No wonder of late ,bollywood has produces so many duds at the box Office .
Every movie being a love story or a love triangle ..I Mean how many variations can you have with that same concept..

Also shows like Roadies ,spitsville and big boss ,where everything seems scripted ,its only a game of TRP’s ..In one of the episodes of Indian Idol 4 ,during the eviction scene (you know how melodramatic they make it ) as usual the anchor kept asking questions to the evicted contestant like “How do you feel that you are out of the show ?” “How do you feel that your journey has ended here ..Please sing your last song on the show...Put in such a situation ,anyone would cry ...You see , they literary make you do that…Dont they understand that when you are on TV ,u get more vulnerable and questions like these are only for getting tears rolling ..again game of TRP’s ..One evicted contestant even went to the extent of saying that his future generations will never choose full time singing. Is this the end of everything or what?

Well if we are left to seeing all that crap around us ..What good will it do to us?. The adage “You are what you see” says it all..

Atleast some years back shows on TV seemed watchable..Even Shaktimaan’s each episode ended with a social message.There was good content for everyone in the family.
The only respite you can find these days is Animal planet ,History channel, Discovery channel etc ,where its more inspiring to see people do extraordinary things , exploring new places ,how they live in extreme climates ,it’s the only originality you can see on TV..

As for me ,after wasting an hour , I finally switched off the TV and picked up a Book to read..

That's the club house next to my new place,where i recently shifted (my club house pic taken from net) ..

I had been thinking of visiting that place since i moved here .It has a swimmming pool ,tennis court ,snooker room ,gym etc..

During weekdays ,after all the exhaustion , i just coudnt gather strength to go there.. But today being a sunday ,decided to go there..As such i dont really prefer gyming, as it is an indoor activity and can be quite boring ,some active sports like say swimming ,or even jogging would be better ..But then thought of giving it a try today..

When i entered gym ,there was no instructor , just 4-5 people .So i really didnt know what to do ,saw an aunty on the treadmill ,so decided to hit the treadmill after she was done.

This is the first time i used a treadmill ..I gradually increased the speed ,in between it got so boring that felt like jumping off the treadmill ,but then continued for 30 mins ..After that i immediatly got off the treadmill , and couldnt stand still ,i just kept walking due to reflex action and was feeling quite dizzy . Iam sure ,people there must have thought Im some kind of a wierdo..Anyways so that's the experience at the club house ..But serioulsy i would have prefered walking in a park or even in my building complex compared to the gym ..

Huh ,its been a long long time since i wrote my last post .Wow!! it feels good writing something atleast..

Well a lot many things have changed ,i have shifted to a new house ,and in these 4 months my office has shifted twice ..Well new place , new people ,new office( i got shifted to this place twice) ,its taking some time to get adjusted..

Its been almost 4 months and so much to write...Well Im glad i atleast started it now..

Today in office ,i just happened to tell one of my collegues that i blog ,so i showed her mine ..After that i felt like reading some of my posts ,then saw some of the comments ,then went on to read my friends blog ,then their comments , and it went on and on ,until it finally dawned upon me that i was in office and surfing is not allowed.. So before someone would catch me doing that i logged out..

So once i was back home ,I rushed to my PC and decided to inaugrate my blog once again..
