Now that Anna’s fast is over ‘insanity’ seems to be returning to our news channel. All speculations about Parliament accepting Anna’s demands have now been put to rest… Anna Hazare finally broke his fast today morning and the country has been celebrating.
And with all this News channels are back to their usual ways. Since there is no more breaking news and all the people associated with the movment and those against the movement have been reasonably exploited its time to find a new celebrity… and guess who is this celebrity – its IKRA !
Who is Ikra ? Ikra is one of the two little girls who gave coconut water to Anna today. Her 5 minutes of screen presence this morning has made her a celebrity (at least in the eyes of some reporters). I am sure that if Ikra had any idea what she was going to go through after doing this noble act, she would have thought twice.
News channel reporters were asking her some of the most stupid questions and I can’t help but replicate them verbatim over here
Reporter: Aap ko kaisa laga jab Anna ne anshan toda?
Ikra: Accha laga (obviously J)
Reporter: Aap ne Anna se kya kaha ?
Ikra: Paani Pilo (obvious again J)
Reporter: Anna ne aapse kya kaha ?
Ikra: Thank you (what else do you expect Anna to say)
Poor reporter couldn’t get any dramatic answers from the kid so he turned to Ikra’s uncle who he initially thought was her father.
The uncle was part of the committee that was managing the event and hence could answer the questions much to the reporter’s satisfaction. ..But even he had to answer some really stupid questions first.
I guess someone will have to start an equally massive agitation to bring an end to this insanity and insensitivity of the news channels.
