Other's misery is our fortune..

I was watching NDTV the other day and i felt News channels particularly are adopting a business motto - "Other's misery is our Fortune".

They reported Swine flune cases day to day, now they have completly stopped. Take the reporting of BJP crisis involving Jaswant, Arun Shourie, Brajesh Mishra and Yashwant Sinha - all of them were interviewed in rapid succession, the objective seeming to be to highlight BJP 's misery.

Along with unsruplus politicians, and inefficient babus, we the citizens have another burden to bear - the News channels - particularly the English ones.

Should Dasara 2009 be skipped..

Should Dasara 2009 be skipped ? It seems so. Given the rapid growth of the virus H1N1 the Govt. of Karnataka should skip this year's Dasara. While it may seem to be an over reaction, the scenerio of hundreds of tourists coming to Mysore, from Bangalore which is already reeling under the rapid growth of the virus and the climbing deaths, and the resulting spread of the virus in Mysore and surrounding villages and the strain it puts on the Hospitals has to be considered.

It might bring a bad name to the Govt. of the day and if the situation goes out of hand Mysoreons may never forgive this Govt.
