Media exposed

Long ago i did a course in Journalism and Mass communication.
The first thing I read there was,
When a dog bites a man it is not news but when a man bites a dog it is NEWS.
These days every news is about such sensationalisation only.

The ethics of journalism has been thrown long back.
Reading the morning newspaper has become a pain for me.
I just read the obituary column and close it.
The sanctity of reporting is gone.

Every paper is owned by some person with affinity to a political party or otherwise.
There is no exception to the television news channels either.
It was a pleasure to listen to the radio news or Door darshan news too a while back.
But now, I cannot watch a single news channel.
The loud,obscene arguments just puts me off.

The concentration on the news drifts away from the main menu almost immediately.

I no longer watch television.
It drains me out.
How i long for the quiet news of our yesteryears!

Too many cooks have spoilt the broth.
I cannot forsee any change in the scenario in the near future too.

Times have changed.
I totally agree with that.
But is it for the greater good?
Maybe I am getting old, to understand all
This madness and euphoria.

Sleep

I for one never ever thought that you would turn your back on me.
I have always felt so welcomed in your loving arms day in and day out.
Or should I say night in and night out?
Even the weariest of all days would become insignificant when I snuggled up to you.

The next morning would be so better after your soothing company.

Now when my entire being is shaken to its core,
I need you more than ever to get back my composure.
Don't you realise I need you so badly to pull me back from this depth of grief?

It is not fair.
How can you be so cruel at this juncture?

When I turn to you for comfort you choose
this very moment to turn your back.

I thought that I could depend on you forever.

Partners for life!
Till death do us part.

So I plead with you again
don't desert me when I need you most.

You are my saviour,my last resort,
and you cannot abandon me now.
When I need you most.
You are my everything.
So I beseech upon you,
Please come back
Collect me in your arms and let me go back
To the bliss of another realm
and prepare myself for another day of my earthly existence.
You cannot abandon me now for I have nowhere to go to.
