THE STORY OF A PILLAR



Behold the keepers of the nation’s conscience,
Behold the creators of the nation’s opinions!

We make them ‘aware’ of their choices
We keep them ‘informed’ 24 hours a day.

The fourth pillar of democracy they call us.

Ha!

When will they ever learn?


p.s : It is said that, in a free country people get as good a Government as they deserve. I wonder if the same can be said about the Media.

(A photo I found on the net. Absolutely genuine. The Breaking News ticker at the bottom reads : “Amitabh Bachchan catches a cold”. We have a long way to go, fellow media trainees.)

  1. :) Brilliant ... this is still better than "Chajje pe atki kaali billi" and "Hindustan ne khoj nikala upay ... sona kaise banta hai ... upanishado me paya likha!"
