Valentine's Day

A boring day for new channels with no major story, Valentine's day dominated the English news channels today, truly it brings good luck to everyone. Shiv Sena gets the much needed publicity as the only day of year it is active is Feb 14th and News channels and Serial Makers get a extra event to add in their usual bulletins and soap operas. Earlier Holi and Diwali were the only celebrations in a TV soap family but now all of them go to Valentine's day parties to find their valentine. And while all those lucky people who have found their love are enjoying at parties, singles are busy voting for SMS polls on NDTV judging if Valentine's day is relevant or ridiculous.

Indian Idol saw the exit of Panna Gill, one of the top performers, true in a democracy like India the contestant liked by majority is always the imperfect one. Audience hates perfection, those who present themselves as perfect seldom get the votes. The idea is to present oneself as a normal person right from your neighborhood or be prepared to voted out. Cry ,shout or yell but prove that you have limitations and janta will come to your rescue with votes.
