1.
Salman Khan
He is a person with probably most fan
following in India. But his similar acting (or should I say making faces on
camera) makes me sick. When some Salman movie releases, never even for a flash
I think to watch it. Not only in movies but in all ads and TV shows also his
expressions and style of talking remain same. E-media is after girls he dates.
And entire India has only question to ask – when will he get married?
He was a very good actor in all kind of
roles – action, comedy, drama, love stories etc. But don’t want to watch him anymore.
2.
Cricket
I am sure that people would agree with me
on this. Cricket is now overdose. Cricket season never ends. We have stopped
following so many series. Earlier we used to remember the matches and could
discuss about those ever after years but now, no one remembers matches except
some great performances. Now I don’t feel bad even when India loses a couple of
series. Not because I stopped liking cricket or I am not patriotic anymore but
just because I know that India would win in next series. These cricket series
are now played continuously in series. We are tired of watching so much cricket
but kudos to player who play and remain fit.
3.
Health related marketing
This is another area which has gripped
India in recent years. Staying healthy is good but companies have marketed
their products to create an environment where a normal person cannot stay
untouched. For instance use olive oil instead of other oils in cooking. Olive
oil is as bad (or good) to our health as any other oil. Brown bread, packed
juices, atta noodles, biscuits and negative marketing about dry fruits and
India traditional foods are all marketing gimmick.
Not only food but products like soap,
diapers etc are also marketed in name of health. A company even advertised
mosquito repellent by saying that when mosquitoes bite they inject germs in our
body. Isn’t it laughable?
4.
Rapes
India is not rape capital of world but when
I read morning newspaper, I see at least 1 rape news daily. Earlier I got
carried away like any other common man. But then I started analysing the news.
If you see carefully, most of the news are vanished after few hours means that
media just wants to report a news to grab attention or may be to scare common
people but nothing happens after that. No help is provided to girl or boys’
statement is not even recorded. Not sure how many of these news are true news.
But the impact is that every man has started considering other men rapists. If
the person is a lady then every man is a rapist except her brother.
A friend of mine was in a local train at 10
PM. She slept while travelling and when she got up, she noticed her ex sitting
next to her. She got so scared that she ran away from the station considering
he would rape her. She took this step even when it was 10 PM and there was no one else in the
train and at the railway station. God forbid but she was more safe in his company than running to some unknown destination.
A sincere appeal to media to stop scaring people and creating such unhealthy
environment in the country.
5.
Politics
This is a topic which remains hot
irrespective of the situation in the country. Netas are always blamed no matter
how good our country is doing. Opposition party always has some agenda. Common
people like me are really sick of it. Sometimes I feel that a positive dictator
should take power in his hands and change everything overnight. Now before you
start raising your eyebrows, I do not intend to end democracy. Just a positive
person (like Sardar Patel or Lal Bahadur Shastri) should take power and end
this dirty politics. We want to see a change in our political system. Hey you
all politicians and political parties, please work together to bring best for
the nation.
