Woah… ‘India’s 9/11’… ‘War on India’…sounds damn intense and moving! The entire nation’s woken up, thanks to you folks! Everyone’s talking…taking part in the debate…the rise of the voice of India!
Great, alright, so we got the message. Good show, guys, but it’s time for a wrap. Pack your bags, lock away the creative faculty, and for God’s sake (and for Allah/Ram/Jesus/Satan…the whole halo club), please turn the camera off now!
But oh, you can’t right? Now I get it…you’re 24x7…can’t shut off, news or no news! Oh, I’m sorry guys, I really didn’t understand why you have to do this…oh, poor things, it must be so painful to have to constantly say something on the camera, sense or no(n)sense, to sit and interview socialites and politicians, and to come up with ‘Breaking News’ headlines like ‘Puppy falls in the well’ and ‘Amitabh gets up on the wrong side of the bed.’
And that’s why you can’t keep your hands and cameras away when a terrorist attacks or a hotel burns down. You unleash your very best, letting all of us know how charred the bodies are or gathering reactions from the dead Sabina Saikia’s husband, prompting him to have an emotional breakdown before the camera as you ask what he’ll tell his children. I mean brilliant stuff, boys (and girls). You took the real Breaking News (instead of the manufactured ones) and squeezed out every bit of drama, right down to the pith. Good emotional stuff! But seriously, you’re wasting yourself here, my boys (and girls). You should be in Bollywood…you have a bright career in (e)motion pictures. You know just how to get the best performance out of your cast. And…gasp!...you do it live! No scripts, no rehearsals, documentary stuff, man…real cinema!
India’s on the Truman Show, and hats off to you boys for it! Take a bow for “gunning down” the news! How bored would we be without you!
