just another chat.

disclaimer. - this is an actual dialogue between a random orkutter and me. i am nt political. nor do i have any interest in manmohan or adwani's politics. but i felt somethings [all? ;)] he said, needed a correction. all copy pasted from orkut. he had been monologuing for sometime before i started speaking.. didnt feel the need to copy paste that. and in view of the mumbai attacks, i donno how sad i am.
so yep, here goes the 'chat'.

him : I feels it z too late...Now political parties are make it as wepon for election.They not all caring innocent humens as well as dedicate soldiers.Now media and people are disussing the ways to eleminate terrorism..But tomorow abhayacase or yet another santhosh madhavan/sabarinath will divert their thinikng..As usual media and people enjoye those news forgotting what happened nw in mumbai

me : i beg to differ.
i dont link abhaya or santhosh madhavan to terrorism.
terrorism for ur kind info, is a global threat to a single nation's integrity. not something intra.
media is not enjoying it. it naturally sells more cos of the seriousness of te issue.
politically, adwani and other opposition leaders are not condemning, but rather trying to hold hands and stay united. i appreciate manmohan on that lead. cos, he is a gud diplomat in that case.

and ppl, i donno abt others, i certainly am not enjoyig the news.

him : no yaar...i will diifer and forcing my friens too...
but where the news abt serial blast happned in bangalore and ahammedabad...now noone is talking abt that...Media and whole nation forgot it..As usual it will happen in mubai incident too...People will come to normal life...media go behind another hot news...

Who is dilpomat yaar...Manmohan...really a baffoon...He placed india's power in leg of Bush in case of nuclear deal....What bravery he have done?He signed the deal without discussion in parliament. It is right way from PM of democratic country...then what is significance of SOVEREIGN
SOCIALIST SECULAR[ DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC
In my view he is coward PM ever india had seen...

me : see, if u cud not forget the pain of passing away of someone, u will nvr live on... its nature's gift.
expect the mumbaikars to live on with the pain always??
and media, their dharma is not combating terrorism. but to bring out the daily happenings or sumthing that happened today, to the public. they carry on their work. they dont forget. but cant help something else more imp then, from being published.

hahaha!! see, the nuclear deal may have been a bit down trodden. but the PM's action secured a amiable relation with the America. which any nation wud crave for, given the status it had then.
now, the recession has come but then, it was a big deal, literally. and about discussing in the parliament. well, different political parties wud have reacted differently. and ultimately it wud have ended with walkouts and some internal disturbances. n no sensible decisions. btr something, than nuthing at all..
and if he had been a coward, he wud not have faced the country and its ppl like he did now. he is facing it. not running away or blaming someone else.
well, i hope i got my point across..

him : But in case of nuclear deal,my veiws are tottaly diff.We must have relation with all countries in the world...But what manamohan is doing clear breaking Non-allign policy what Nehru and able leaders followed

me :

times change. and our policies should change accordingly.
the world then, is not the world now.
then, it was all war. face to face. it was better not to hurt oneself by trying to take sides. the leaders then, decided the best. to stay away.
but now, its a power play. make a deal with the 'powerful' and you are powerful. stay away, you are vulnerable.
and with the nuclear deal, we only made a deal with america. we didnt break up with any other nation.
the policy we adopt has to be the one right at the moment.
saamam, bhedam, daanam, dhandam.

Interesting exchange of viewpoints! While I fully agree with you about the nuclear deal, I think the way the media handled the Mumbai blasts was completely wrong. While some channels, especially Times Now, showed commendable professional restraint, some others (read NDTV/ Barkha Dutt) didn't. For example, the way Barkha tried in vain to whip up the already battered viewer sentiments by asking inane questions to a person whose dad was trapped inside Taj (to which he never replied and displayed remarkable calm) was totally uncalled for. What your orkut friend said is right. Our media chases Breaking News opportunity with an eye on TRP. Day before yesterday it was bomb blast in Jaipur, yesterday it was Mumbai, tomorrow it will be something else. Constructive journalism is a science and art and what not to cover is as important as what and how to cover.

Yes, you are right Mr.Smoke Canopy [Dinesh :)].. And the govt. is right to ban the "live" coverage of areas in threat.
And what she did is atrocious. It is "said" that, it was the live coverage of the preparations of Karkare that lead to his death in a way, showing where he was weak and where not. I accept this point Mr. Dinesh. And thanks for bringing this point across. :) - J
