A LETTER TO MY DEAR MEDIA

Dear TV news channels(TV 9,ABN... everything, nothing excludes),

Please stop acting. You don't really care about the girl Damini or whatever her real name is. If u do, you would simply cover news and encourage people to protest against the rape, you wouldn't spend your time thinking up poetical lines about the brutal crime that's been done.

I feel actually sick of watching the lines and ads you've been thinking up, calling men as Dhusasanas and Dhuryodhanas. While those historical figures were immoral and cruel, they would look tame and chivalrous compared to the monsters in the Delhi rape scene, so please, refine your comparisons, the lack of effort you put into conveying this particular case in the exact sense as it happened and mindlessly giving it the same old idiotic theatrical and oddly dramatic lines tell that this is just another case for you to enjoy for a week or more, and another topic for your regular episode of Big Debate.

Media is bridge between the world and the people, so please do just that first and attempt at drama next. I would say you are dismally failing at the first. First, please, all Telugu news channels, stop enjoying news, and start presenting it the way it should be presented. Stop creating hype and start creating awareness. You have the power to push the people into action and to force the government out of its lethargy. Do not put the same old stereotype questions you have laid aside for 'breaking news'. Deal into the real situation at hand, make people aware that this is something really serious, and make the government aware that the people are not ready to take more cruelty and injustice. Well,you think you are already doing that? Then why do people say soooo often, this is just a week or month, and everything will  be the same as usual? Because it is. Why will be the same after a week? Because after a week or month, some solution is bound to happen, and apparently, justice is restored.

Apparently. In Delhi. You would conveniently forget about it after something's been done. So while the rest of the world thinks justice's back, people or girls specifically who are not from Delhi or Mumbai or any other big cities, and who suffer no less violence, are ignored and never covered or never even known. It will take a while before something as bad as this happens and gets known in a big city to get the media start wailing and shouting heads off all over again and unravel the dark world once more. I think its actually good you don't always open up the dark world to the people, so they can live in perpetual peace, but once in a while they are bound to know somethings bad, because otherwise they would look like stones to themselves( i was being sarcastic, if you didn't get it).

So, the whole point? Stop getting hyped up. And start doing something for real. Many people may not know if its for real or just a drama, but some definitely do, and they hate you for it. From now on, stop giving useless analysis on politics and movies and start having analyses on people and crime. Not once in a blue moon when something apparently goes dismally wrong-- keep it regular-- not nagging or threatening or pessimistic. And for once, care about this country, you are the only one who can cash it, we all get robbed and laughed at or ignored if we try to do something about it. If you really cant do anything about it, then shut up about dirty politics and money minded people. Just deliver news, its more than you can ever do to dream of becoming a real news channel.

P.S. Special note to Andhra Jyothi news paper and ABN Andhra Jyothi paper:
I hate you so much. I thought you were neutral what with Eenadu full of Babu sycophants and Sakshi a useless blab on Jagans four year old Odarpu. But now i hate you so much. May be its becoz im subscribed to your daily, but its the truth all the same. If you ever hope on having lesser tortures in hell than your competitors, then immediately stop your stupid, irrational, frustrating, and useless dramatic lines and stereotype words and start being formal and serious. You make it look like some old Telugu movie where a woman life is spoiled. This is not a movie. Keep that in mind. Dont try to fool around crime and people.
And Radha Krishnan, I hate you so much too, just for allowing that crap to come up. You better pack up and sit in jail with jagan... it would make much good to news.

Sincerely,
Another I.
