Bitter Truth

A sigh! no matter,  where you had been? Whoever you met? Home is the only place that tranquillizes you. After reaching home, I kept the keys and the heavy bag aside and plummeted on sofa. After that tiring journey, the sofa, which has crossed the warranty period, and not in a condition to outlast more, was the coziest. This comfort doesn't last for long as soon as I looked towards the kitchen. Within a second, I was energized to cook and complete the household chores.

In the hope of passing few hours, I picked up the television remote. I was surfing the channels and had found nothing sensible on those entertainment channels. Finally, I stopped at a movie channel and preferred to watch a flop movie over a pathetic daily soap. All of a sudden, the commercial break appeared, after all it provides a good portion of revenue to the channels. Sometimes I feel, these advertisements also do not promote a product or service in a sensible way. Among all such advertisements, one is of fairness cream.

Media should be responsible for educating the audience, but not like the way they are doing now-a-days. From high melodrama serials to fairness cream advertisement, all are taking us some twenty years back. And guess! who are glued to these serials and who are influenced by these advertisement - all of us.

Most of us think, No! not me, I am an educated person. I do not believe these things. The bitter truth is - we know what is correct, but still can't express dissent if things are going wrong in front of us. And this include - you and me. You must be thinking, why suddenly the topic deviated from the everyday activities to the virtues.
