24 hour obsessions

Blinking Jo was stuck up in a drab place for 4 years where the newspaper comes without crap ( Sorry THE HINDU guys,but Jo did miss it,u know) and where access to TV meant licking her lovable Herr warden's toes for a few nauseating moments of the backviews of about 200 girls (enchanting though it might be in 1 point of view, no thanks,Jo is arguably atleast, a girl and she's straight )

So once she came back home,she read every MetroPlus and NXG that came her way and made a love pact with the news channels.

For exactly 3 days.

Whew. There's a limit to how much 1 can take. There's a tolerance level for reading about incredible waist sizes and what is probably not carcinogenous. There's hardly any outrage worse than revelations of how everything that is destined for the stomach can do better sitting on 1's face and hair. And though Jo likes seeing ppl happy,she definitely can't read about how every actor in every set has splendid relationships with all the co-actors,director,producer,cameraman,cleaner,makeup men,speech writer and yes,that part of humanity that is going to pay money and bear torture for a few hours in dark halls trying not to sleep.WELL.Atleast,Jo's happy with her life even without the gossips, She wears clothes that are not designed by anybody who likes photo makeup, drinks lots of water and does not suffer from obesity. So tata to supplements. Except to the cartoon pages, ofcourse.

But the news channels!!!

Jo wonders ( while blinking,of course) who came up with the hypothesis that enough news happens in the world to fill a 24/7 broadcast slot. Poor reporters. What do they NOT resort to, to generate NEWS! No space is sacred anymore and no level of indecency, too indecent. It is completely OK to make mothers cry and children look malnourished (heard nobody watches mega serials anymore and the producers are thinking of switching over to newsreports and bollywood KariKram.. also,watch out for Krime time and Remixes bhi kabhi gane the).Whole trials are carried out on TV and between reports of who is the murderer we can also get Darshans of Shri Sai Baba.And we can also learn whether coffee is good for our health or is the evil cuppa,today - latest updates.And ofcourse,we also get to know which actress Dhoni is batting today - Complete entertainment,indeed!
