Sania and the Media Mania

- Jasleen Kaur

New Delhi, April 12:That's it!!!Enough is enough. When will this misery going to end. There seems no stop here. After long and series of anticipation finally Shoibh agreed that he did marry Ayesha and now he is going to divorce her and marry Sania. I was so happy not because they were getting married but because finally I shall get to see something good and useful on TV and lifestyle papers again after so long.


It was getting so unbearable that why so hype and what is a common man has to do with all this??? It can’t be a very important GK topic which will be taught to children in schools nor will it create any history. Then why??? They were celebrities alright and people like celebrity gossip but do we need an overdose of same news everyday and everywhere???


Our personal lives may be all messed up, instead of solving our issues we are keen to solve Sania's and Shoibh's private life. Why are we so interested in knowing someone else personal things? Let them do what they want to, they are mature people and can take their decisions by themselves.


Girlfriend ran away, low score in college exams, Parents worried about their child’s future, working professional worried about inflation, problems everywhere but still all are glued and want to know what step Sania and Shoibh will take.


Why we simply don’t mind our own business. West Bengal is worsening because of Naxals but I am sure solving Sania’s personal life issue was an utmost importance.


Do we really lack entertainment and quality programs on TV, that news channels are filling our entertainment dose??? Are we so bored of our personal lives that we are finding relief and spice from these cheesy tactics? Media holds a very responsible position in the society and creating awareness and bringing the truth in light is what expected from them. If they start following the footsteps of entertainment and responsibility takes a back seat, scary for me.


One fine morning I woke up happily with the hope that this drama is finally over and I saw yet another piece, Would Sania Mirza Be Too Hot to Handle For Shoaib Malik? ohh God, tell him to ask for lot of ice, Roohfaza and ACs in Dowry. This way the hotness quotient could be reined in. Let him decide for heaven’s sake that how he will be managing his hot wife.


Again I read somewhere, Sania, Shoaib's honeymoon in Gilbit - Baltistan .

I tore the paper in aversion and went to the TV screen. I went from one blood sucking news medium to another.


If issues like national integrity or related topics have been repeated on TV and print like Sania and Shoibh’s episode then I would have been proud of the constant public glare and media for reiterating the social message in public mind.

My request to all media guys, please act sensibly.
