ENTERTAINMENT QUOTIENT FROM THE LOONIES


A very good morning, am sitting on the table with my breakfast; I just could not help mocking and using swearwords. The reason being, two statements, that caught my eye on the front page of the daily newspaper. "Lalu admits lapse in security, no machines at stations to check what is inside luggage", "Britney`s hair could fetch millions”. My logic did comprehend as to why this piece of news was given the same font size as the train terror attack news that killed 67 Samjhauta Express passengers; Its got to do with this word that the current world can`t do without; 'Entertainment'.

That raises a very valid question, Is news dead? Is news giving way to entertainment? "Bombs were crude chemical cocktails", "Bodies were badly charred", “Compensation of 10 lakhs for kin...." sharing equal heading space and entertainment quotient with the statements that depict Lalu`s and Britney`s brain malfunctions.

It was when I heard "Mama, Britney ka shot maloom pada" (If you are wondering about the language, yes, I am Hyderabadi) from the fourth different individual today, I realized Lalu and Britney have a lot in common.They both get on my nerves and that they have a knack of pulling absurd statements from nowhere.They pull something else too, Britney pulls her head hair out whereas our Lalu pulls his ear hair out.

Britney; what was she trying to do? Get a tatoo on her wrist and her hip, and woo a bald alien? It surely does demonstrate that a meltdown does not negate the part of her brain responsible for maintaining her dumb aesthetics. Britney Spears Foundation might get $100 million richer but she might lose a 100 million brain cells with her act.

Samjhauta Express, a train that crosses the border, demands tight security 24*7; and our Lalu comes up with a statement "no machines at stations to check luggage". Pathetic. Simply pathetic. What is he doing with the railway allotted money? Pushing it up his fodder strewn a**? Is he not as responsible as a terrorist in claiming those lives?

As for terrorists, its celebration time, for they made their presence felt with a few more innocent lives.

They won’t cease, will they? "Entertainment" lives on for ‘terrorists’ be they masked or unmasked.
