Why do we expect so
much from Aamir
Politically
Incorrect
Shobha De
I basically picked
up this editorial for today mainly for two reasons.
- I do not like Aamir that much
- I am not fond of shobha de as much as well.
So that’s that. Not
that I am a particular hater on his Sunday morning spree or criticizing and
scrutinizing things around, but of course, I read it for I wanted to change to
my opinion on both of them in general.
Coming down to the
editorial review, it was interesting. Shobha De's contemporary style of writing
does take you by pace over the sentences but then again, her approach being way
to objective does not attract people who have a very more classical preference
of the language. The article mainly talks about how Satyamev Jayte is not
really the best show around but only for the name of Aamir has it gone to
heights no other reality show of India ever reached. This is a fact that I
absolutely agree to and as well to the fact that the show is another
commercialization of the sobs of this country. They bring up a few people who
recovered from a loss that matters to the money makers, they make the country
cry their brains out for an hour and a half and then move back to routine with
nothing but sorrow in the heart.
The article does
also talk about how keeping Aamir as the host and having the Sunday morning
time, the show has captured a huge audience as well as a time slot where they
have virtually no other competitor.
Hence the article is
overall a fine read for a Sunday morning, if a game of chess is very good for
you.
