I am seeing hypes everywhere.Be it in politics,in cinema,in literature, in short in any achievement.There were days when the media used to write only after a certain level of fame has been achieved by the person.But nowadays what with so many chances for exposure,I feel the necessity for fame has gone away.One can do something like returning a left out cell phone( are you not expected to return?),you get covered,as though being honest is not the obvious behavior.
The other day there was a write up on a politician who celebrated some religious pooja giving food, to many priests.I think even if the politician is very famous it should not have been covered.What the politician did was for his private soothing,and perhaps his private prayer.Probably he has made the cost for functions where people depend on priests go up for the common man.
Anyway,perhaps we human beings are slow learners.
Jayamala.
