Really interesting read.. reached here...Hi Reshma,<br /><br />Really interesting read.. reached here reading about qualitative research.. <br /><br />I like the part where you said people remembered the doordarshan days like nostalgia... <br /><br />As a kid i remember seeing "Bharat ki khoj", surabhi, news, Byomkesh bakshi etc etc... I guess we are lucky to be born in 80's... atleast we did not miss the end of the classic times. Never felt like being subjected to garbage at that time mostly because we had limited access to entertainment. Today entertainment is on the go so much so that it is needed 24*7 and India TV and the likes of it has taken complete advantage of this need. <br /><br />Liked your blog a lot. Even i dabble a little bit in writing but a completely different style and content.

There is still smart literature around - its a matter of tuning into the right frequencyReshma Bachwani Paritoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309811408079933092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25889673.post-82276167453417711192010-04-23T17:08:47.017+00:002010-04-23T17:08:47.017+00:00reached here through twitter where shekhar kapur c...reached here through twitter where shekhar kapur called it interesting! he's seldom wrong!!<br /><br />the thing that baffles me here in this whole "new news" industry is:<br />if we are not watching it, why are they showing it? if there is so much discontent abt what is thrown at us, then why is it thrown at us?<br />this "garbage eating" in India is also new. once we were very smart people who had their own literatures alongside grecko-romans and middle easterners. <br />where is it all going wrong?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589444683469069637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25889673.post-65402062222194523862010-04-23T10:26:46.019+00:002010-04-23T10:26:46.019+00:00you are absolutely right! most of the news is mere...you are absolutely right! most of the news is merely third rate entertainment! <br /><br />pleasure to stumble across your blog,came via twitter.gulnazhttp://www.the-apple-pathways.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
