Television goes bALLE.... bALLE....

Television has, of late, turned into a platform for marriage negotiations.Look at the hosts of 'Vivaah'. They steal the show with their body gestures and language
The other day I was watching 'Rannaghor', where I gather new rrecipes from to try my hand during weekends and holidys.There was this guuy, ready with Dahi Khatta Paneer Tikiya.The host was in no mood to lose the opportunity of projecting him as a prospective bridegroom. In the midst of the making of the dough made with dahi maida and suji with a pinch of salt (swadanusar) he articulated his genuine love for cooking, his talent in writing poems, his propensity to further the NGOs(where he works) working process.He also came out candid with his dsire to interact with the bride-would-be, personally. Emails or print media according to him are a hoax.He expected his wife to be understanding, fun loving and someone interested in taking up social service activities.
His thoughts and exprssions were at par with his meticulous hand movements. A poem he read out was of his own written for the aged. The host did not miss the opportunity to extricate his interest in romance or in writing romantic poems. Clearly it was a move to help out an average householder.
Internet is ruling the roost. But television will continue to carry on its sway with the upbeat of the issus which occasionally drag a 55 year old, out of the house.
