Last year in one of my postings i had mentioned about Importance of Being Rakhi Sawant (http://nayakgiri.blogspot.com/2008/09/importance-of-being-rakhi-sawant.html).
I am a firm fan/follower of Rakhi Sawant. She had her swayamwar last week and by god what a drama, what a poise. i wish i could have traded my place with Elesh (the winner).
Dame has so much guts. she is so confident. she oozes drama. Mind it she is the ugliest celebrity maybe, she is the most crass of them. But she does what she thinks and there are no double standards. Had i not been happily married (repeating old cliche that my wife is happy and i am married), i would have surely applied for a slot in that swayamwar....
Another example of how channels take people for ride. everything is managed. But so long as janata is entertained who cares..
This reality TV is not my cup of Tea. I am surprised by fan followings of all these shows. seems like people like them. thats why every channel has one. different formats (but adapted ones nothing original). Its all scripted as one can take an educated guess. nothing real about it except sms and money making. Earlier generation of reality was ok and restricted to singing competition or quiz shows: has some semblance of fair judgement system. (forget about tantrums by judges etc). This lot is more about bitching, sex, personal issues.. not my cup vulgur
Good old DD during mid to late 80s was golden era for me for TV viewer. Single channel no choice: Staring with Hum Log, Buniyaad. Ramayan and mahabharat. Short stories like satyajit ray presents, kathasagar, darpan, ye jo hain jindagi. Good serials like khandan, ados pados, mr and mrs, karamchand,kacchi dhoop, aa bail muze maar, udaan, subah, rajni, himalay ki dhara many more.. Quiz time by siddharth basu, whats the good word, sports quiz , world this week were my kind of reality shows. short films like Tamas, sandokan etc . many more. Mumbai DD programmes were the best : gajara, those great poets and singer events, much more qulaity. Technically they may not have been sleek as today but content was more rich, and most importantly Honest..
