TV


We were born in India at the same time as Tv was born.

Practically there were no computers forget laptops. Everyone used to watch Tv together

We used to see soaps like Mahabharat, Ramayana.
Comedies like Flop Show , Dekh Bhai Dekh
Shows like Surbhi, Tehkikaat
English ones like Street Hawk and Knight Rider

Then as we grew up we had to waste more time into ungainly activities like studies.
During that time we had a fixed slot of being awake
We used to sleep at 10:00 hrs and get up at 6:30 hrs
Most of the awake time was taken by activities like school and getting ready for school and commuting to and fro from school.
We played in the evening … returned home had dinner and slept after a while.
In this limited amount of time we also had to fulfill expectations of school teachers –aka HOMEWORK

As we grew old the study part increased
And as we could not compromise on important activities like dinner and play the time had to come from sleep/Tv time.

This started our degradation into watching lesser Tv.
Then after a certain period of time we enetered 10th the era of tuitions => we had to devote time to a subset of school in the evenings and mornings.
This Tv deficiency continued for few more years and worsened.

Then we entered college and the first thing we discovered was that we could cut time from unimportant activities like lectures ;) so that we could do all other important work.
We never missed a cricket match again unless it was on day of exams.

Then sometime in mid of all this COMPUTERS arrived and to turn things worse ….advent of Internet, Cd’s DVD’s almost killed the good old Tv.

Hmm...Interesting analysis on TV...TV must be feeling so jealous of these new technologies...Also, would ideally want no one to grow up from childhood...:-P
