She is fine with the concept of freedom of speech as long as it gives her and people like her, who share her views the right to freedom of speech. The moment someone with an opposing viewpoint comes forward, somehow that same freedom of speech is not so sacrosanct for her anymore.
Apollo, a good blogger friend has written an apposite post about the likes of Barkha Dutt – who today are recognized as the face of Main Stream Media.
On the other end, Shadows informs us about a SMS survey carried out by Star News on “Who is the biggest zero of 2006?”. No, this poll had nothing to do with Bollywood but had everything to do with individuals like Rahul Mahajan, Manu Sharma and Shibu Soren.
Couple of month’s back I had written a post on India TV’s claim that Astrology can reveal if an individual is Homosexual. I would rank this news report by the ever famous, dumb-headed Rajat Sharma’s news channel to be the worst to ever come out of the idiot box since the intervention of cable network.
Be it Rajdeep Sardesai, Vir Sanghvi or Prannoy Roy; they all have been accused of representing biased news, time and time again. Today most Indian news channels come across as some sort of a business hub with most of their content based on sponsor’s advertisements, money making SMS polls, non-conclusive discussions, invented news at its best and priority towards political affiliations.
With so much corruption and personal intentions involved, tell me will we ever get information from the ones responsible just the way it is? I guess not, atleast not till the time money and TRPs are their main goals.
Keeping with the topic, pick your pick.

All crap.. !! The only channel that we can watch is CNBC (Not that crappy IBN7 or cnn-ibn – wonder why CNN even associated their name with IBN. Maybe its not CNN as the American news channel, it stands for Crappy News Network here. )
CNBC has some interesting and informative stuff.

Hi Sakshi,
Yours is one of the most inspiring blogs I have ever seen. I am a writer and blogger and above all an uncompromising admirer of exceptional female beauty. Your photo on this blog is simply superb and it stole my heart. The description you wrote about yourself is really very interesting. I am actually looking for a great girl like you for the last one year. Everybody puts up some nonsensical stuff at the place of the blog where the blogger’s photo has to be posted. I hate such people who cannot even show their faces to others or fear to share their email information also with others. Does somebody like to talk with or write to images? Living human beings need to show their faces to others in order to create some impression in them. When we fear to communicate with others in a bold manner, there is no use in living on this earth. You have appreciable qualities of a blogger. Yours is such a fascinating face and your outlook toward the world and your interests and abilities are very admirable. I would celebrate my life if I get your friendship at least. I see girls wearing exhibitionistic dresses and remaining dumb when somebody says or writes something about them. It is not enough if we behave just like some living dolls. We need to express our opinions on the things we find interesting or on something that inspires or irritates us, rationally or irrationally. I would born like a dog in my next birth to become your beloved pet if you do not like me in the form of a living being in this birth. I have been blogging for the last one year and I write on Blogger.com of Google and http://www.ibibo.com. Please do send me some email. My Email id is letterlatter@yahoo.co.in and my blog site address is http://www.golmalgovindam.blogspot.com. I love you Sakshi. Please read my blogs and say something. It matters a lot to me. Bye,bye Sweet Sakshi. Don’t forget to email me. My phone number is 9396872652. You may call me up to make me believe that I am talking with a damsel of exceptional beauty, appreciable intelligence and admirable kindness toward the things and living beings that belong to this visible earth planet.

I voted for Aaj Tak. I find it too loud. And its headlines like “Laashein mili Khet mein”, “Baccha Hua Ghayal” etc. are just too much. Just yesterday, they had this ‘Guru’ movie conversation during prime time for more than an hour. They had Abhishek and Ash in addition to Mani Ratnam and Mithunda but obviously, their questions were focussed on the first two and that too, stupid questions.
Actually since the last few days that I have been here, I tried watching several of these new news channels and found that most of them dont have much to speak about. They keep repeating same stuff over and over. Right down to the same video clips being played again and again. ex. the Saddam clip and then yesterday a clip about a poor farmer dropping down to the feet of a minister. Even NDTV did it once or twice.
I still like NDTV among all these channels. They have produced quality stuff in the past. Barkha Dutt especially during Gujarat riots or Kargil attack. And their debates, although they get out of control several times.
@Datla Raju: hahaha…Well tried…thoda time spend kar diya hota iss blog pe. Aisi naubat nahin aati
Speaking about your comment on bloggers who blog with a face and a real name, not all can do that and there can be several social circumstances behind that. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. In case you are interested, here are my views.

>> Barkha Dutt especially during Gujarat riots or Kargil attack.
Mitesh, in fact those were the worst in my opinion. Gujarat was a totally biased coverage. There was no mention of the trainburning incident. And as regards Kargil, the soldiers said that she revealed the position of our guns by her stupidity (how, I am not sure, maybe the Pakis tracked the mobile phone signals or the Camera signals).
She seems too self-righteous to be considered neutral. Almost the preachy types.

Sakshi, one of your friends said that you are a very serious and dangerous girl. You know I like to deal with dangerous girls only. The more you are different and fearful, the more I turn kind and soft because my goal is to understand the power of fire and change it into snow. Unfortunately I could not understand what you mean by “I swing the other way”. I am not a kid like you to expect rings or use swings. I wonder why a dangerous and intelligent girl like you even could not send an email to me. It is not enough if you are a great blogger or serious social activist, learn to send something personal to the email id of the fellow that admired you madly being inspired by your personality or acts of kindness or speciality. Otherwise I cannot consider you impressive in many ways because you did not come my way despite my inivitation. If you are a challenge, I am the grandmother of it and if you are fire, I am the snow peaks of the Himalayas. Please do tell this to your dear friends. I liked your close friend’s comments about you. I am an admirer of comedy and tragedy equally. My kisses to your friend that attends SHADOWS blog because I see frankness and honesty in his or her blog because I am doubtful about that interesting entity. Do write something to me. I say I LOVE YOU to many girls. Don’t take it at personal level and get indulged. That does not mean I don’t consider you special and irresistible. Could I confuse you? Please get irriated adequately because I like harassing an intelligent and creative kind of girl in a different and acceptable way. Is this nonsense enough!!!

Forgot to appreciate my Preethi darling. Thank you for your sweet advice cutie. I accept that “Persuasivenss is the key to success”. But you think that Sakshi has guts to write something to my email id. Perhaps she must have seen simple and timid guys so far and I am here to face her at any place and on any matter. The challenge is sitting right in front of her. Tell her if she can irritate me dangerously. It is not great if she frightens you close friends of her. You may remain silent not to hurt her. I am a tough guy and you can understand this if you read my blogs on my site of Google. Please tell something about me to all your friends, girls in particular because it is the most interesting race for me on earth planet. The more you crack jokes centered on me, the more I celebrate my life here because the rays of your intimacy and the private jokes thereon reach me in my sleep. I am a ghost no! Don’t go alone during night walking to your home. I would scare your dogs and security staff! Hooooooooooooooooooooo, the ghost of Govidnam is lurking somewhere here around! Please alert boys and girls. We should celebrate this Sankranti beyond his attacks. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Preetheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Forgot to address Mitesh. Thank you darling for your kind comment. Anonimity may be a shield for timid guys and girls but I don’t like such passivity in active citizens of India. Throw your photos in hundreds and leave your email id and blog site address everywhere. Then check if somebody has the guts to misuse your photos and blast you at your email id. The game looks interesting no. I enjoy it myself and I don’t know about others. Every male creature has the same dick and they die some day. Why this game of anonymity and hid-and-seek fun. Let’s fly into the sky and spit into the earth and ask somebody to catch it because we need to keep our earth planet clean and beautiful. Is this some kind of fuss, you consider. That’s Ok. Reach my best wishes and love to all your friends and well-wishers because I love them as you do. Are you tracing some problem in this proposition. I am a ghost man. What I write is some stuff you know no!!11111 Thank you Mitesh for your love for me. You could spare sometime to comment on my blog. It is enough for me. I would read your blog sometime. Bye, bye dear!!!!

Dear manager of SHADOWS blog, I can understand your pain. I thought you are a girl and you said that you are neither a girl nor a gay. Wonderful man. I am laughing like anything to appreciate this suffering from you. I don’t kiss a boy in any case because I am not interested in that log even a bit. Sorry for my previous comment. Thanks for alerting me in time. I would read your blog sometime. Thanks once again.
Saskshi, I happened to see your photos on Flickr. One of those photos is irresistible. I mean to see that you are so cute and fascinating that pups are nothing in comparison to you. I would post it on my golmalgovindam blog to express my sense of admiration for you. After seeing that photo, I felt that I am actually looking for a girl like you. I don’t say I LOVE YOU to any other girl if you can consider me as a suitor. How long do you play with pups? After all human life is not meant only for animal love but also human love which necessitates you to fall in love with somebody seriously and marry shortly. You are already 27 and so better accept some fellow like me. You know girls find me liberal at international level. I don’t mind your love for dogs and puppies because it is a good trait of a cutie like you. I could sense how seriously beautiful you are after looking this photo on your Flickr site. Please do write something to me. Just because I am not a dog or pup, there is no rule that you should not communicate with me. Am I a cannibal to eat you if you contact me. See how good your friend Preethi is. She put all the important lines in my comment and made a good bunch of words. I found her creativity appreciable. Learn some sensitivity and humanity from her personality. I am sorry if any of my comments hurt you. My intention is never to hurt anybody I like or dislike. It is more difficult to hurt somebody that we like deeply for some reasons. You have got an appreciable character and look and I can say this even in the middle of the Arabian sea if you are beside me because I don’t know swimming. I would feel very happy if you write back something here at least if you don’t like to send me an email. I think 14th and 15 of this month are going to be holidays to your office. Don’t say that you have no time now. After all Sankranti is there and it allows you to be a bit free. I am not going to my house this time only because of you. How can I check my email if I you write me something!! I wonder if a thousand guys have not yet chased you so far with their unconditional offer letters of love and marriage to you. I am telling this from the depth of my heart because it is very deep in matters of universal love and vast in alloting place to many interesting creatures and features of this beautiful nature blest by God. Anyway, Happy Sankranti to your friends. Please tell your friend of Shadows that I mistakenly addressed him a girl. I often think that this universe is filled with girls and women only and I am the only male creature living alone among them failing to understand what they really are!! I am writing so much addressing you and your friends, and you are remaining silent. Oh God, save me from this girl.
Preethiji, thank you very much for your concern for me. How many girls in this big world can be so kind and affectionate toward me like you. I am very grateful to you for separating some sentences from my previous comment and making them attractive as a lot. I am seeing a creative editor and an admirable artist and a sensational art lover in you, three-in-one. Are you comfortable with this comment or not! I like frank and straightforward girls. Please don’t blast me irrationally just because I wrote like this. See how that owner of SHADOWS blasted me just because I wrongly addressed him. This is the difference between girls and boys. Boys hasten to blast any boy and girls hesitate to use hurting words adressing a helpless boy like me. This is why I like your lot in this world. Is Shakshi going to play with pups and dogs only even this Sankranthi. Please tell her it looks too much for a sensible guy to consider. Expression of excessive love toward some particular kind of creatures throws us into the branch of ‘crazy fellows’. It’s ok to some extent. In a way she is not allowing some animals to enjoy their lives with their natural friends. A dog likes to spend its time with another creature of the same race and a pup likes to send her time with her mother or father. Where is the need for Sakshi to interfere in the natural flow of love between creatures in this setting? Don’t you think she is doing a bit extra to be considered a great person. Who cannot understand it after seeing her photos on Flickr. Everywhere there are dogs and pups only. I felt as if I am touring through a big zoo. It would be appreciable if she runs a private zoo to signal every visitor that she is more concerned about animals than boys like me who run after her just like she runs after helpless animals. There is much to write but this not a novel. Bye,bye.

Dear God,
]
One girl in India called my words crap after keeping me in the category of ‘a looney bin’. Can somebody that admired the qualities of a person directly and publicly receive such these remarks from the same person? I might have behaved a bit freely believing that you are a kind girl based on my understanding centred on your love for puppies and dogs. Is this the way you treat your friends also! Do you like everybody to hang with the same topic you have started. I am a human being and I like to write from the depth of my heart on such things that inspire me coming from a living person with some sensitivity and pity for some creatures that are living with a bit of love for the living world with many human beings. Sakshijee, let me tell you that you are very unkind toward humans. [* Edited : Believe me you guys ain't missing much just more "yada yada yada" kind-da shit
Once go to my web site and read the stuff I put there. I spent hours of my valuable time to think and write them because it demands one’s creativity. It happened only because I wanted to entertain and educate some people that come to my site. I have been doing this for the last 16 months. I am a postgraduate in English literature from the University of Hyderabad. This is to dust any feeling of contempt or carelessness from your mind in case you thought that I studied in some crap thing to harass girls like you writing this and that just for the sake of it. Ask me anything, question me, irritate me and do anything you like because I am at your full control because I invited you to communicate with me as a person or professional.
Thanks for reading all this. This is your site and you have every right to delete it if you feel uncomfortable with it. It is enough if you grasp the essence of this text and keep it in your mind as some crap that may be useful for power generation in your future. I am not angry with you because you used those words. I would not have written all this if I am an escapist. I would stand on the dias to face the people and I receive the arrows of neglect and abuse to get more strengthened as a personality. Still I love you and like to hear something. It could be more blasting because I don’t expect nice words from all because I may not look acceptable, considerable or noticeable to all since I am different from everybody else in this world because God made me so.
Yours sincerely,

Really? Atleast paste some Shakespeare, not English subtitles of desi films… How do you think any girl is going to accept with such dialogues.
BTW, you may have a good career in writing scripts for desi movies.

Dear Perpendicular Thought,
It is shame to know that somebody like you commenting about a guy like Chiranjeevi. He would have typed ’see’ in hurry instead of ’say’, the word he really meant to use. Don’t you think you are making much fuss out of this referring to his qualification and the university thereof. A brainless fellow like you only can paste others’ stuff to impress others. Shakespeare died centuries ago and you are still hanging with the same fellow. It is like remaining unmarried forever recollecting the death of one of your sweethearts some years ago (if you have one by mistake). Your dear friend Sakshi deleted much of his comments. It is not fair. If you have conscience and a personality of a human being, just correct your friend and ask her to stop using her stupid business mentality everywhere. It is not enough if she spends with dogs and puppies all the time and with stuffless guys like you considering you great. Learn to accept your demerits and failings before criticizing others. You are talking nonsense about Desi films and subtitles. They are earning crores of rupees in the overseas market also. See if you can write script for one of their films before advising golmal. You think that you would be considered great just by supporting your friend all the time. Stop that criminal thinking and behaving like a paid servant. The name of your blog site suggests how daring and intelligent you are as a blogger. You cannot even show your face and personal details. You are inferior to Sakshi in many ways becasue she could keep her information out beig a girl. There is meaning if she said something about Chiranjeevi because he loved her and wrote something to her out of that deep fascination for her. Where is place for your useless interference here?!! Those silly icons you kept there show your real personality. Change your mentality first. Otherwise somebody would certainly thrash you on the road if Sakshi is not there to save you. These events are common in big cities. I am a published writer. Read something on my site before writing some shit here addressing me.
Sakshi,
You can delete this comment also by me if you don’t like it. Of course, you would certainly leave that much of text which meets your agenda and increases your popularity as a blogger. You are such a nice business minded creature. This is what I understood after reading the above comments of Chiru which you neatly edited. Please Sakshi change your attitude about boys. They are not that bad. A self-confessed feminist like you need not blast every boy just for the sake of it. I am sorry if these comments hurt you. I am also a woman like you and so please don’t call my comments also ‘crap’ or ‘looney bin’. Use some other bad words to satisfy your ego. Learn something from that perpendicular thought if you want to get spoilt further.
I came across your site while browing the Net. I felt disturbed after reading this game of mutual abuse. You can be better than this. Think seriously about that Chiranjeevi before allowing your friends to say some shit here addressing him. He already said goodbye to you being unable to bear your words thrown at him. Still you think that you need to chase him like this in the form of your friend’s comments. You don’t like to delete or edit your friend’s comment above because you consider him your well-wisher. Because Chiranjeevi wrote you something feeling possessive about you, you turned a hard-core feminist and edited or deleted much of his text. Learn to be a humanitarian first. Feminism and animal love are worn-out chat these days and humanitarianism is a universal issue always. Don’t you agree with me?!!
Bye Sakshi.
