Idiot box, Telly, Tube, or just Television call it by any name but surely it has played a pivotal role in each of our's life.I fondly remember my childhood encounters with it ,be it Duck tales at 5 pm , Chitrahaar on Doordarshan ,or those Circus and Bomberman games on video games during the summer holidays.There was so much we could explore and do with the TV with each passing year.After cartoon came the Bollywood songs of 90s, then was this introduction to the Discovery channel, it was a whole new world.I could swear on anyone to watch it everyday.But, but , but I am facing a new type of challenge these days, about what to watch on TV when I have a chance.Everything seems redundant, I am in a dilemma whether is it with everybody or its just me.The news Channels are flooded with usual Elections, various factions and their manifestations, movie channels have gone a southern trip ,cartoon channels are never the same before, soap channels are dead rubber as ever. Every time I sit in-front ,I end up getting up frustrated and remembering the good old days.I wonder it has to do with the growing up and all ,where average looking soaps seemed like golden hours.I guess we have all over-matured,overgrown the telly leaving it stranded. The producers should involve the masses about the content they make as to make the whole experience holistic and engrossing.Doing so,even we might introspect about our wants as this fast life has made our minds dynamic and unstable.Stop,hear and do is the call of the hour for everyone maybe the idiot box may help us have peace and "Un-idiotize" ourselves.
Food for though everyone!!!
