MOTHER and MEDIA..!!

I was watching one of the popular Music channels ..A lady was asking her favorite song to the VJ ,the VJ asked her to sing the song and she began singing. When she was singing the second line itself her baby started crying.. from the cry I was able to get it was a infant may be 6 to 8 months… I thought she would excuse herself and hang the line..but for my surprise it was really shocking she continued her singing and parallely the baby was crying..She didn’t stop singing till the VJ told its enough… MY GOD… it was heart throbbing and revolting act indeed.. That was Atrocious to me ….. I couldn’t even imagine a mother being like this…. Is Singing the song to a unknown person is more important than her crying baby..

And one more incident I want to share that happened in Chennai.. I was talking to my neighbor and she was telling that she missed her loving serials last day.. I didn’t show that much interest cause I hate serials.. She called her daughter who was in preteen and was asking her the story that happened the last day… I was dumpfounded seeing the girl narrating the whole serial with screen play and direction…… I was so much irritated and left saying Ill get back to her later …. I asked her about this the other day.. “Why Akka. ..? You asking the story of serials to your daughter…She answered So what ..What’s wrong in this Brindha….?? I talked to her after that and made her realize her lapse..

Really it’s a Absurd to influence this Detritus Media in Children…We mothers are the one who spent a lot of time with the kids… Its our responsibility to defend our sweet children from the violent, irrational , medias…Am I Correct Friends..??

Dear Brindha,

It´s really sad to hear that a mother is more interested to sing on television than her baby cry...Crazy people..

Very true that most of the women who watches this daily serials a lot and gets addicted,Its the same if Mother´s do thn the kids follow it.So its the duty of Mother´s especially to avoid kids from this Sentimental,Lady villian,Crime,Cunning and ofcourse all the time the serial carries crying where the herione is always in troubles..I hate this daily serials..I think its better to watch a movie which completes in 3hrs with an end and that´s refreshes us...but this serials last for yrs and yrs and the story remains the same..

When I am doing my graduation I had started seeing ´Kasuathi Zindagi ki´,It was interesting as I liked the characters very well but after an yr seeing that there is no values for the relations hero marrying his own bro´s wife ufffffffffffffffffffff,My mom scolded me to stop the serial as it is full of waste of time and never ends....Thanks to my Mom..
Oops the serial lasted for more than 5 yrs... or may be still telecasting..

Hugs,

Hi brindha....

Even I used to watch serials with mom n granny from school days, but those days serials were seen weekly(like buniyad..I only know the name..never understood what was the story since I was a 5-6 yrs old)..I still remember we (me n my sisters) used to watch jungle book, vikram beetal, Ek se badkar ek, Dekh bhai dekh.... all this were actual entertainers and we always used to wait for a week for us to catch up with them, We had a good collection of Serials, As we grew up, lots of channels started and the quality too went down,..I still remember How I used to kepp tab of Kyunki..during my engineering days, After 1 year it became too much to take in ...n I dont remember when I saw the last episode..(5 yrs back i guess!!)....1 more thing theese days people watch thoose serials so that they are left out in the gossip in office/ Neighbourhood(like..did u See that sari,..did u see that jwellery, did u see that interiors....)...

And about the lady singin song to the VJ....
well we cannot judge whoose jid it was,,was it hers..or may be her sisters Kid / Brothers....

U neverknow right,...Did she say...that it was her Child??

Cheers!!
Anu

hi brindha,
these serials are very addictive to loads of people infact there was a comedy by vadivelu on this serial addiction by few women on some movie.
well i used to watch them but mainly to see what they wear and what sorts of set they put like houses etc.i was never interested in the story as it never ends.we can watch these serials anytime and still understand them....
its sad to note that singing was more important to a mother than her own child!!!!
regards

Brindha, it is not for nothing that TV is called the idiot box! When the TV is on the grey cells go out for a vacation.

It is quite saddening that quite a lot of moms especially from the middle class and lower middle class spend a lot of time in front of the idiot box or wile away their time gossiping with their neighbours little realising that their kids are emulating them and observing their every move. It would certainly have a negative impact on the kids. Your mention about a mom who thought it more important to be singing to a RJ instead of attending to her babe's crying calls is sure unpalatable.

Dear Brindha,
This is the situation in most homes today where the soaps take up more than half of the time. It is upto the people,who spend or shud i say waste so much time on this, to realise that they can put it to better use. It is invading our day with so much vogour that half the work we could have done otherwise takes a backseat.Coming on TV shows the music ones or the chat shows is a great matter of pride, would be the same for all but you have to limit it. Some will not go for weddings or even take doc appointments for having to miss some prog on TV, what to do about that????

Hi brindhak,

'teens getting influenced' not withstanding, is it not closing the windows, about what is happening around?I agree that too much is bad, but to some extent they get prepared to face life as it is, and jolts them from any dreaming or imagination about a fantasy or fairytale world!They become worldly wise to tackle all types of experiences.May be adults of today are very smart, because they had more exposure,TV being one source, smarter than people who didn't know what a TV was, when they were young!
