Every worried mother's delight!

My friend Chucki-the chukker would cave under pressure some day. His slightly drooping shoulders already weigh heavy. Every time he hears about another single television journalist, his heart is heavier by a few kilograms. And when that single television journalist hits her late 20s or more, Chucki-the chuckker knows that there is something wrong –either with this world or just the profession. So, when he is not planning a rugby game, or brooding over jobs, or drinking tea or even fixing his own dates, Chucki-the chuckker is wondering why so many female journalists are single. Chucki-the chuckler is every worried mother’s delight . Maybe he and Mum-the mother could set up a fact finding committee. Or hire detectives. Conduct an online survey. Or even a sms poll.
With so much of pressure, my friend has now moved places- to bigger, loner cities. Now, you might just spot him in a store buying deep blue shirts or even catching his own glimpse in flashy windowpanes. Also, if you get a call from someone trying hard to sound hoarse and pretending to be a “ shaadi.com” agent, you know it’s my friend calling. Anytime, you see a worried man, trying to fix up matches for single journalists, that good soul is again my friend. I just hope bigger cities lessen his burden. He has been advised to take up jazz classes, play polo, go salsa dancing or simply take his mind off the trends of journalistic lives….for these lives are best left unravelled.

Laws of television journalism

If it makes you think, then check again. It aint TV news.

Unattended borewells are essential to our existence.

The amount of hard work put in a news story is inversely proportional to the airtime.

“How are you feeling” is a copyright of a TV journalist.

Everyone knows how to use this word. None really knows how it works. TRP.

The only time a news decides to break is when you are in the middle of a party.

If you cant scream, dance, break into moments of “ on camera-“ frenzy,
TV journalism is not for you.

When in doubt, blame technology and bad signals.

Make-up works both ways. . for your stories and even for your looks.
