Reality Shows

    One must try to guess the amount of profit the channel makes from these really happening reality shows. Today we see a rising trend of reality shows in India. Hence today i thought of writing down something that is making an enormous effect on our society.But it is very important for all to get a clear picture first. Are reality shows just a source of entertainment or Are they destroying our culture, the youth?

     It is, no doubt the favorite genre of  all TV producers. And why not they produce good revenues for television industry and also fortunately or unfortunately create a fair platform for thousands. It gives a new hope to the parents that there is more to life than  being a doctor or a engineer.

    But do reality shows do any good for the viewers apart from turning them into a couch potatoes or psychologically locking them? Don't you think contestant who get eliminated suffer a lot due to their not so hopeful loss? Voting just shoots the mobile bills? Young children also are exploited and are made to sing ,dance and entertain which eventually makes them nothing but child labourers, is it really legal? And the exposure of the very respectful language the participants talk in the youth reality shows?

    And without being critical and judgmental the reality shows never appear real, they seem to be scripted like other soaps.The contestants just wastes time and talent in front of so called great and rude singers, dancers and composers. I personally think there is everything in such shows except reality.Promises are made to correct the mistakes and to do better next time, the cute ones are made to cry, tears starts rolling down their cheeks and icing on the cake, the camera is just moved to and fro from the contestant to the judge and that becomes a promotional scene to increase the TRP. Also young girls are seen wearing such revealing clothes which cannot be seen on the TV set and yet the parents are seen cheering them, I think these parents only have values and faces for bollywood actors.

    Give it a thought, These shows are just playing with the life of youth using them as nothing but just a product, and the deserving candidates loose where as the not so deserving candidate wins all in the name of voting. Reality shows are good only if done objectively but the unfair business and money oriented approach, makes it appear nothing more than a fictitious fable, it also leads in a fatal way, when after failure or bad and ruthless comments some sensitive lives try to commit suicide and many get succumbed to it. Also a ordinary ,much-a-do-bout-nothing drama queen item girl hosts and runs a show where she gives justice to people facing different problems.Is India facing such tragic crisis where a item girl gives insaaf and pave the way for the janata to walk towards their goals and a happy life?Isn't that a little funny?If revealing fake curvatures and vomiting foul language is considered the benchmark of IQ quotient as far as Tv judges and hosts are concerned than she shud be considered Amartya sen of Television.

   To conclude, Its high time now, government should take restrictions on these Reality shows as the future of out country is shooted or projected in a  direction, a path which leads to only chaos.Also the viewers should curtail viewing of such show, as if the TRP descends automatically the show will be withdrawn. Producers and sponsorers should utilize this money into something productive and constructive which can solve many problems of those families who abstain themselves and their young ones from two times normal meals. If this happens i don't think India will ever face problems as unemployment and poverty.
