"Mumbai hides all its blemishes in the night"— Alok Karkera

Razor on a Blazer

Hats off to the person who invented the BLEEP. Yes. I am serious. This is an indispensible value add to modern day television. Less words – More bleeps.

“Hey you BLEEP … . I will BLEEP BLEEP. How dare you BLEEP. BLEEP. BLEEP. BLEEP why BLEEP. I will show BLEEP………..BLEEP. BLEEP,” goes the reality show.
It’s the new Morse code.


Trust me – bleeps are needed. You don’t believe me? Look at this. Barack Obama who while addressing the American voters told them one very important fact of life, “You will not see any of your BLEEPes increase one single BLEEP".

I don’t know what McCain was telling them but the Americans on hearing Obama’s gospel truth went and voted him to become the president. Once ordinary Americans knew the truth many quacks went out of business and the recession worsened.

Again, JFK once famously said "BLEEP your BLEEP, but never forget their names.” The US Presidents take the advice of past presidents very seriously. Bill Clinton for example hasn’t yet forgotten his intern’s name.

Coming back closer to home, we have a motley group of girls who exhibited never before seen levels of wisdom by trying to get married to Rahul Mahajan. All this while I had thought the most sought after eligible bachelor was Rahul Gandhi. Chalo, koi Rahul hi sahi.

The show in question however, seems to have some chances of success unlike its predecessor which had one fatal flaw – the crux of the show involved tying a knot with ‘Rakhi’. Hey .
……….. I didn’t know it was a Raksha Bandhan! Sorry - poor joke.

The reality shows come in two varieties. One is the contests and the other is the news channels. The English news channels are boring. Good work on Jessica Lal case and the like but the rest is quite predictable – complain about Pakistan, complain about China, complain about CAT, complain about inflation, complain about government apathy, incompetence etc., complain about Australia etc (One must admit that we Indians need to have clarity in thought that Australians possess. Think about it. According to the kangaroos, calling someone a monkey is racist and therefore highly deplorable (and punishable too). (My sympathies with and my apologies to the monkey.) HOWEVER, according to the kangaroos (a non racial description - I had to clarify) beating up someone or killing a few people just because they are Indians is just an ordinary crime. That could happen anywhere in the world mate. How dare anyone call them racist? Not a single honorable Australian involved in the attacks called those Indians ‘monkeys’ before raining blows on them? How can you then call it a racist attack? – couldn’t help digressing).

Hello !!!!!!!! We need news here. Not a complaint box.

The Hindi ones have a far better selection of topics. There is nothing like Rampur Ki Chudail or Darinde Kanoon Ke Rakshak to add intellectual stimuli to the brain which until then was subject to the rather staid and boring day that you may have had at office.

It’s time the news channels, Hindi as well as English add bleeps to the news too.

“Good Evening, Here’s the headlines. The prime minister has said that the government and his party want to BLEEP the people of India ………….”

I guess that reality isn’t far away.
