Commercialisation

Used to watch Zee Tamil TV channel at 0810 hours (தெய்வத்தின் குரல்).Monday to Friday for the past almost 4 months.  This is a program about Maha Periyava and was going very nice.

As the program gained popularity, it fall into the net of Commercial and now according to me lost its glory. 

I think, P Swaminathan, narrator of this program, is forced to make this program like this. 

It brings old memory of my school days, 4th or 5th class, where we were asked to expand the hints to a meaningful story / paragraph.  Depending upon the size of the paragraph, marks will be awarded.  For example hint will be given as “Mother asked – shop – buy – vegetable”.  Our expansion will go like this:  One day morning when my mother was engaged in cooking food for myself, my brothers and for my sisters noted she was in need of some vegetable.  Immediately she called me by my name and said that she is in need of some vegetable to complete cooking food for all of us and asked me to go to shop immediately and bring it. I politely agreed and took money from my mother to buy the vegetable she wanted.  I searched for a bag which we usually use to bring such vegetable from market. After finding that bag, I folded that bag and kept in my hand to go to vegetable shop…… The story will continue in the same way and I could make even a page on these 4 or 5 word tips.


Shri P Swaminathan is doing the same now in this program.  So many repetitions, so many unwanted adjectives which makes me boring to see it now.
