People think I am one of
those intellectual types. Hence I do not watch TV. But the fact is I
watch TV and love it too. Yes I do watch intellectual stuff on
History, CNBC Awaaz, Zee Business etc. But I do watch songs as well.
I like watching youth programmes on MTV and V as well.
Even in today's age
the value of the government run channel Doordarshan can not be
ignored. Indeed it produces content which other channels may not dare
to touch for various reasons. Yes technically it may not be at par
with other commercial channels. But it indeed produces some great
intellectual stuff like Aaj Savere which I love.
If I go to
calculate my TV watching time it may not be more than an hour and a
half on any given day. I don't watch movies on television. I prefer
to watch them on big screen. But living in small towns I hardly visit theatres these days.
Television helps to
reduce the tension between the family members. It acts as a diversion
and cools the family members during turbulent times. Though too much of television may stop
communication between the family.
To keep the long
story short watching TV has brought me happiness today. It is
excellent medium of entertainment and education. (Mind you I have taken
year long breaks from TV and I am of the firm opinion that it does
more harm than good) So happy viewing.
