The Reelity Show

Television what to say...!! It has become the fastest broadcasting entity in the world since past 15-20 years. It has a general name given by the people as “Idiot Box” which is a truth and I totally agree to this. As a person who sits in front of the TV has no idea about the things going around nor is aware about the amount time spent in watching. There are numerous channels with so many shows coming up, some worth watching and the rest totally crap; now this depends on individual’s choice. But apart from all these shows or programs, it updates us with the news and informative things that are going around in the world in no time.

As it is said that every coin has two sides, so does this idiot box also come up with its own advantages and disadvantages. Generally these days the shows like saas-bahu type: Balika-vadhu, Some real action shows: Roadies, Some competitive ones: Dance and Talent shows are more popular and grab more TRPs than any other news or social shows/channels. Now how can we call these shows/serials to be more popular? Actually, it is not their content that makes them popular but it’s just due people like us how sit and spend hours in front of that idiot box watching all these shows/serials. It is the general trend of such Reality shows. A big confusion that rolls around in my mind is whether it is ‘Real-ity show’ or ‘Reel-ity show’!! And have to just leave with thing without any answer.

There are many shows that hunt for natural talent which is hidden among the huge crowd that our country holds. But hardly few are worth that place rest of them just come in for fun. It’s like if you are doing nothing and is capable of seeing yourself getting raped on the national television then you are most welcomed here. There are many anti-socials shows that are capable of bringing in a bad or to emphasis it worse impact on your mind. After participating into such show, we can only get MA (Master in Abusing) degree. Apart from this some people just come in to get famous or to be seen on TV the way they are getting rapped by the judges for their vulnerable behavior. Are they insane? How could you sale your life style and impression just to grab such a fame!??

Certain reality shows are been scripted and a viewer could guess that very well.  Such attempt is mainly done to attract the viewers or audience. If this is not done then it would be difficult for them to come up with the next season. That is why I prefer to say “Reelity show” where everything is scripted on the Reel and show up as Reality one. But on the other hand some reality shows like KBC, quiz contest which are really worth the effort and can change a common man’s life. Still people would prefer to watch such shows only as it’s the best means for a common man to establish its reputation in the market not matter it would be in all wrong sense and increase their value more than KBC.

As far as our Indian culture is consult it doesn’t suits to our personality and manner. It’s not our fault at all as we are being brought up in that manner only. And nobody can change anyone’s thought and their views or beliefs. To change our culture and thoughts, first we need to start it from our end rather than expecting it from others. But honestly this is not a common mentality or approach of people here. They would rather expect the whole world to change out but won’t make a single effort to change themselves.

To end up I would only say that we must obey and follow the path which leads to the ladder of progress and success. This could only be done with a bigger and brighter vision. And for that we neither need any ‘Reelity’ show nor ‘Reality’ show.  The only thing that we need is the ‘Specialty’ and a good human ‘Mentality’ to accomplish our wishes/goals.
