2/4 Raj_DEEP in the time of blinding lights (Second part)


Before I proceed to say anything else, I must empathise with Rajdeep. The Poor man is left to deal with BUGs all the time – BUGs outside and BUGs inside.  (BUGs, for record, are not negative. But an acronym, which is a beautiful combination of Positive, Negative, and Neutral pillars of media) 

But to Rajdee[‘s  credit, he refuses to get ruffled by the swarming, swamping and swimming horde of BUGs in Media.

And this find ample reflection in his tweet `much in journalism which is terrible and deserves to be exposed. But Much that is good too. Time to separate the good, bad and ugly.’ And also his advice to media few nights ago when he slept to the melodious `zhoot bole kauwa kate, kale kauwe se dariyo…. ’ as an advice to politicians and scribes!

But can Media BUG, an entity where one part feeds the other, be subdivided into self-sustaining parts. I fear NO. Though in an ideal world it should – a world where good is separated from the bad. And  bad, through a process of ostracism,  gradually withers away.

Rajdeep still seems to be living in this ideal world. Gud, as long as he enjoys it.  MORE TO FOLLOW
