Indian mainstream media still totally losing it vis-à-vis Modi…

Media—Who cares? 50 people are still protesting at Jantar Mantar!

VK Singh spearheads international rescue operations.
Media—But he called us presstitutes!

Lazy arrogant Pappu refuses to do a simple thing like filling a security form.
Media—Modi is snooping!

Modi government builds a whopping 4 lakh government school toilets in a year.
Media—So bloody what?

Modi dazzles at foreign policy.
Media—Non Resident PM!

Pappu-Kejri do PR.
Media—Geniuses.

Media—Sparta!!!

Obama-Modi rock together.
Media—Rs 20 lakh suit!

Modi rocks Europe.
Media—Louis Vuitton shawl!

Indian coast guard blasts terrorists under Modi regime.
Media—Oh poor defenceless smugglers targeted in Modi regime!

2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013… Some bad things happens.

For Congress #OROP = One Royalty One Party…

One Congress One Dynasty down the ages…

1947-64—ONOI = One Nehru One Indira.

Emergency—OIOS = One Indira One Sanjay.

1980-84—OIOR = One Indira One Rajiv.

1984-91—OROS = One Rajiv One Sonia.

2014-15—OSOR = One Sonia One Pappu.

When Sonia retires…
OROP = One Rahul One Pappu.
(Also can be Only Rahul Only Pappu)

If Pappu abdicates…
OROP = One Robert One Priyanka.

Indian media musings…

Indrani and Peter Mukerjea launched News X.
Right now what is going on is News Excess.
‪#‎SheenaBora‬

TV MEDIA…
Multi-panel discussions.
Everything’s breaking.
Desperate sensationalism.
Id–>Ego–>Superego.
Access journalism.

99% viewership of Indian English TV news channels…
1. Politicians.
2. Activists.
3. Journalists.
4. Middle/Upper class New Delhi.
99% of India doesn’t give a fig!

Colombo Test musings…

The contradiction…
Every time someone says “Test cricket is not dead”, it moves one more inch towards the grave.
Every time someone says “IPL is dead”, it moves one more inch towards revival.

Kohli probably said: I shan’t sledge.
Sharma probably heard: Ishant sledge.

Foreign Tests…
First 5 wickets—Indian bowlers keep doing high fives.
Next 5—The tail-enders keeps doing high fives.

Indian bowlers aren’t scared of the best batsmen in the world.
But tail-enders come in their nightmares.

Yesterday…
When Sachin gets out, the Indian fan puts off the TV set.
Today…
In foreign Tests when the opposition’s 5th wicket falls, the Indian fan puts off the TV set.

Vadra…
Nearing 500 days of Modi sarkar and still no arrest!

The Web is lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I surf,
And miles to go before I surf…
…said no-one ever!

Media coverage of Jessica + Arushi + Sheena murders
is greater than
lakhs of other murders + farmer suicides + all rural crimes + …

Planned…
Farewell (last Test) for Sangakkara.
Happened…
Welcome (first Test victory) for captain Kohli.

Team India composition…
1. Test all-rounder means “half-batsman + quarter bowler” or “half-bowler + quarter batsman”.
2. 5-bowling attack means 5th bowler is a mediocre fill-in-the-blanks one.

Congress—Aadhar.
BJP—Aadhar to Aadhar.

You need to fight fire with fire.

(August 21)

Rank of New Delhi among States/UTs by population = 30th.
Rank of Kejri’s media importance among 31 CMs = 1st.

Mahatma Gandhi passed Nehru and his descendants passed for life.
But Modi has to clear some vague media test every 3 months.

A fair distribution of Bihar Assembly seats would have been…
Nitish to Laloo: Aaadhe idhar (JDU), aadhe udhar (RJD) aur baaki Congress ke saath!

Last time Congress got 4/243 seats.
At the same ratio they will get 0.66 seats this time as they are contesting 40.
‪#‎2015BiharPolls‬

After winning PM’s post, Gujarat thrice, MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Haryana, J&K, Maharashtra… Modi’s biggest test is Bihar. If he loses, it’s a referendum and he should resign.
