Indian Press Zindabad!!

Truly speaking how many stories are there in this world. .. maybe 6 billion or more than that..
every person living on this planet has his own story. Stories are something which are to be told and which are to be listened.

A man at a railway station is a story. huh what story? Is that a story .. na its not ..
if he is killed under a train or murdered in broad day light then is a story. Thats how newspapers works.

They get stories from anywhere and anytime. The Indian Press is very good at that. A boy lying in a 60 foot trench for 50 hours is story. The only problem is about preferences. Indian Nuclear deal should be more important than a superstar`s wedding at Italy.The parliament matters should be more important than a kiss controversy.

People of India are sometimes brainwashed by those channels showing the same clips over and over again. If a bus burnt is shown thirty times then people will feel thirty buses are burnt which would ignite more anger.

Everyday stories are created and stories are told. The only thing is whether we like it or not.
so long live the press.

PS. please follow the BBC Motto "Where news comes first"
