are you kidding me Team Anna ?

today early in the morning we had a massive power cut across the northern India which affected various states, many trains and even flights.

It was a grid failure because of overconsumption by some states (as stated by the Power Minister) and this has happened after 10 years. Also the power was mostly restored in about 10-12 hours. And as a technical man myself i can understand that such things can happen and i appreciate the appropriate steps taken in a timely manner by the Power Minister and the concerned authorities.

However this post is about the mockery the Team Anna has made of themselves by calling this is a "Government Conspiracy"  to stop people from coming to their agitation. Are you kidding me ? I understand that Team Anna is doing a noble thing and we very much appreciate and support their efforts but Not Everything is about them. The Government actually has a Country to run as well and they are definitely not going to Cut off power to multiple states, delay innumerable trains and flights just so a thousand or so people can't go for a protest. Such kind of acts literally "ridicules" the whole movement.

All said and done we support you Team Anna and the movement but why mock yourselves and reduce your credibility by such cheap media theatrics ?

are you kidding me ?

this post refers to the media coverage of the current movement again corruption by Mr. Anna Hazare & his team. I personally am a supporter of such a movement which has raised some very serious concerns & moreover made us the citizens of this country much more aware.

However this post refers to the media coverage of the current movement (from 25th july) where three of the Team Anna members have sat on fast to mark their protest. The insensitivity & irrationality of our media reflects at the fact that our media (especially the TV News Channels) are MUCH MUCH MORE concerned about the number of people at the movement rather than the cause for which this movement is going on. Instead of creating more awareness amongst the citizens (which is by definition the job of the media) about this cause taken up by the social activists they are instead totally undermining their efforts by just looking at the mere number of people physically present at the location.

In the past I've seen some pretty good debates/discussions on these topics on the very same TV News Channels but the current coverage just baffles me !

Isn't explaining that why the hell is this movement is going on ? much more important that number of people at the location ?
