I am scared...

...after watching "Anu Alavum Bayam Illai" - the new (dur)reality show on the Vijay TV. Instead of looking as an inspired show like from AXN's "Fear Factor", this looks more like a spoof of it. To put it crudely, this looks like the Action Stunt's Lollu Sabha.
if only had you watched the episode of crossing the 4 boats, you would know what I mean!
Takeshi's Castle on Pogo TV is much better!

Airtel Super Singer 2008

This program is increasing my expectation like anything.
End 2008 came, we were nowhere closer to closure; in fact, we saw all the eliminated singers come back again in 2009; in fact, I got it clarified at home we were not on to Super Singer 2009. I suppose it was still Airtel Super Singer 2008.
Then, I thought this would end in FY08-09 atleast...no, the end was nowhere to be seen.
We are into May 2009, the Airtel Super Singer 2008 is still going on. With all due accolades to the talented singers of this show, I really dislike this idea of taking us for a ride, even in such reality shows. Virtual reality I suppose.
I had some respect for STAR VIJAY channel among other Tamil Channels, but it is dwindling.
I think I am going to be a happy man not watching the TV these days!

Insider trading

Recently one of the Anna's Brother confessed in a letter, that he got on to a tiger ride, which he couldnt let go...however despite the confessions/claims, his share benefit had been reaped fast...and he announced it fast, and all saw it fast on the TV, when the "rising sun" rose
AN INDEFINITE FAST, THAT STARTED AT THE BREAKFAST, AND ENDED SO FAST! DEFINITELY FAST...
No more combats, but will comb still... and agitated people say there is no SATYAM, aka, truth, in the fast.
"Idhayam inithathu, kanngal panithathu, vayaru pasithathu"
What to do? Such things do happen when you start "riding the tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten"
Wikipedia would define such above incidents as "insider trading"
By the way, this little wisdom, has no connection whatsoever with this or this or this ! And, of course, cynics may say all the above wisdom combined into reality, can qualify for this! Mind you, this is not reality, but only reality TV...heh heh heh
