Killer Instincts
Bachi Karkaria
This particular
article was once again the death of classical print media and a complete hoax
in terms of a good read. The writer, being a lady, has her own go about
modernizing her writing style and has in that very glory, completely and
irrevocably yet miraculously managed to pick up an already stupid topic and
make it all the more idiotic.
Coming to what this
is supposed to be, the article was about the raving competition between Delhi
and Mumbai, two of the major news making cities of the nation. While people
like you and me are drowning in the sea of a terribly disorganized economy, as
the corruption in the state rises, as the politicians play cards to
irreversibly jeopardize our future, this lady chooses to talk about how one
city rages against the other in terms of how "cool" people are. Her
vocabulary has been blessed by koalemos himself as she foolishly tries to
incorporate multilingual terms into the passage and completely misses out on
making a point, at least to me.
As much as this
article was a waste of newspaper space, it also did tell us how much we need to
improve the way we receive information about the country and the world. We need
to improve the information channels in such a way that we can achieve the least
manipulated first hand information. A lesser corrupt media would of course be a
wonderful place to start with, accompanied by a more frequently updated and
less adulterated news channel.
Not pondering more
on this already over-discussed topic, I terminate it here, to your discretion.
Read the article, and embrace a challenge. And come on, you after all bared
with twilight, this is a piece of cake.
