Last night, while surfing the TV channels after a tiring day, the face of Ishmit (Voice of India winner who died a couple of days back) dominated almost every news channel. I was aghast at the way they were interviewing the deeply distressed family members of this boy. Just imagine a journalist asking Ishmit’s father ‘Now that your son has died, how do you feel?”… All that the poor father could do was cry, cry and cry and his tears were ‘beautifully’ captured by television cameras and aired all across the globe. What a shame! How could Indian media stoop to this level? Selling someone’s tears has become a norm these days. I don’t know whose brainchild is this ‘unique’ marketing technique. All I can say is there is nothing more disgusting than this!!!!! And these are times when I am not so proud of being a member of the media.
