Rakhi Sawant : Good Fodder For The Media

In the last couple of days , i have been seeing various newspapers and their electronic versions , oozing with pictures of Mika kissing Rakhi or otherwise and the surrorunding controversy. What actually has it yielded , more controversy & the associated publicity for Rakhi , who was already getting embroiled for performing sleazy steps at a function in Maharashtra and a lot of people ( including me) came to know that Daler Mehandi has a younger brother by the name Mika. Whether these girls are really under-paid not to afford clothes that really give you a feel of wearing something or is this how fashion sounds these days , frankly i don't know & these people seem to have taken openness by it's literal meaning. But one thing is sure as hell , Indian media's reach among the teens & pre-teens via the paper mode is so prevalent that whatever would have been read by you/me could have been very well read by an fourteen year old. If you people remember , sometime back there was a proposal from the I&B minstry about bringing in a scheme , wherein papers would be given some sort of certificates like the one which is already in place for movies. An A with a circle around it for 18+ olds , U for everyone etc. Under the current context , i see that proposal as something close to being logical but can only ridicule that for being not practicable. For the kind of dependency politics has on media , the government stands to lose more than to gain by this step.

What we can do about this , we can ask these people to be more sensible , as their behavior as such has an impact on the society. In this case we might get ourselves labeled as someone from the neolithic age , whereas we are not & seeing from a logical sense , are more responsible and matured than them. So the first option more or less seems to be ruled out. The second one is to ask the media to be more responsible and insensitive to such stunts , which i personally believe can afford. Might be who knows , Rakhi might have Called Mika the very next day and they might be laughing on the phone about the whole episode!. God only knows the pattern of their operations and let us better keep all our senses insensitive to these things.
