Lords of Doordarshan

First let me present a picture to people who missed it. This is a spoof on rising vegetable prices. Lady in the picture is wife of comedian Jaspal Bhatti. That guy has some sense of humour :)




There is an explosion of television channels in India. Today, bunch of villagers killed a Leopard in a remote village called Matusangam in Nizamabad District. TV9 is presentwith a live camera. So, what is our good old Doordarshan upto? You have to see it to believe it.

So, there is Indian Badminton Open going on in Hyderabad in a swanky stadium. It has a huge prize money and best of the best are here as a warm up to Olympics. It also provides opportunities to lot of upcoming Indian players. Fortunately, organizers are smart and scheduled all the players involving Indian players on court no.1 in a sequence. DD Sports starts telecasting them. Chetan Anand, one of Indian players expected to go deep into the draw is playing, he is one game down and leading 11-7 in second game. Suddenly, an anchor turns up and says, "alright, you watched it enough. Now lets go to Asia beach volleyball tournament Opening ceremony " (by the way, beach volleyball in Hyderabad? Don't get shocked. They put some sand courts by Hussain Sagar. ) OK, I thought, that sounds crazy enough, let me come back and watch the match for a minute. After 15 minutes, I tune into that channel to watch most ghastly opening ceremony I have ever seen. There five people dancing on the stage for tune "Kajra re". I could not detemine the sex of atleast one of them with their dresses and movements and that is telecasted live in DD Sports Channel. What do you say for that?

Guess we need some good "babu"s in DD too. OK I had to vent my frustation somewhere :) you all have a good weekend.
