SACH KA SAMNA

SACH KA SAMNA

Do you know Hindi, or I should translate the title for you. Anyways for your convenience, it is ‘Face the Truth’. Now it is the most sought after REALITY SOAP of our TRADITIONAL COUNTRY recently. I don’t know from where actually the CREATIVE HEAD of this show, got the idea for this. I really wish they had copied it from somewhere. No I really do so, because if it’s a product of India’s imagination, it’s very painful. We can expect this kind of voyeuristic creativity from the Uncle Sam, but not us. I might be sounding typical but still, lets live this makeshift belief, if at all it’s a false one.

Last week, while surfing TV channels, I bumped into this program. And believe in me, I was shocked. I didn’t know that world is really turning so strange, it’s almost not recognizable sometimes. Now, people will say that what’s wrong in it, we should know the truth. But the kind of truth they are dealing with that also in front of your family and in Television, is it really that necessary. I mean, I just can’t comprehend in the wildest of thought, that why the hell any participant would come and take part. Is it the money, I don’t know? I think India has thousands of other truths that should be dig, rather than finding which man have slept with which other women, or which women have fantasized which other man. Already we are having shows, to find your groom, or to loose your virginity and thousand other strange topics. Now this is the new one. Earlier, we used to visit pilgrimages to wash our sins, now I suppose it’s the reality shows, where you will be awarded with crores of rupees to wash your sins. Or I should say, not even wash; rather glorify it by showing it in a TV show. I don’t know about the married life of the newly wed man, who was contesting the show, but if they can continue after the show, I salute India’s Institution of marriage. No, I am serious. If a couple can withstand the show, their heart is made up of steel, and what else I don’t know.

Till now, whomever I have discussed have some sort of monetary gains from this show. But I don’t know who all are watching it, I mean pornography is still better than pleasing yourself with this kind voyeuristic pleasures. I really wonder, where this beautiful place, which we used to call world, is heading. I really wish, that some sort of a complete eclipse outweigh us, and form a ring of fresh life around us. Its very suffocating, we sincerely require a cultural eclipse for ourselves, that also a complete one.
