My Name is Hunger , My daugther is Thirst !!!

"Didi, have you come to make news out of our misery? Want to know our names? Please write down, my name is Hunger and this daughter of mine, who lost her father at 5, is called Thirst", says a woman in her mid 20s carrying a half-naked child in her arms.

This is one of the statements that stuck me when I was reading through the article of Aila victim.

I keep wondering why is devastating aila didn’t get as much as media attention it should have got. Is it because it have happened in much backward area ?, is that the media attention will only be got when blame political occurs ? Is it because the poor can’t break free ? Is it because seeing the condition of people the 32 year old government will be exposed ?

As far as number goes aila left 200,000 homeless. Took 160 lives, and affected 50 lakh people. Environmental disaster is also enormous. sundarbans is believed to have 250 royal Bengal tigers amidst the mangroves . However experts believe that tigers are strong animal, they can swim over a long time to keep themselves safe. Wish the species which is heading towards extinction is safe.

Indian media is wonderful negative minded media, its enjoys attention in putting 10,000 negative points about each thing.100 News channels don’t make enough news to put for 24 hours, They just drill deep and create a framework , directs a story and end the climax when its time for next story. Most of the media obviously spend more time in putting news of Saif – kareena and bipashu - John. Oh far that case sehwag dhoni rift is running for more than week infact more than the Aila news. Aila (marathi slang) what a media.

The aftermath disasters will always follow with dieses spreading through water. Even though everybody is trying to give relief material and move them to safe area , we always feel that it’s not enough and should be better.

Imagine the same occurs in places like Mumbai where the whole world would have been there and every news channel would be making 28 hours live broadcast. Aaj tak would interview 10,000 people to find what was wrong in the relief process again proving how sick is India media. Aila though it’s been shown in various media neither got public attention nor was extensively captured.

But on contradictory victims are tired giving interview to media , they just feel if the media person would have bought, food and water instead of cameras and video tapes.

Aila politics, Aila Media !!!! Aila India !!!
