Shilpa 'Paki' Shetty's father is a proud man. He ought to be. After all, according to the television and print media, his daughter has done the whole country proud. By being crowned the 'winner' of an abhorrent show which till recently was struggling for viewership in Great Britain.
Like we have no better reasons to celebrate.
The show 'Big Brother' thrives on scheming and plotting individuals, who are influenced and coerced by the people running the show, to provoke and unnerve other participants. It cashes in on our tendency to peep into other's lives and derive sadistic pleasure from watching them breakdown.
Good for the producers. It gets them good ratings and returns. Good for the viewers. Anything for entertainment. Good for Shilpa ( and other participants). Its great money!
However, the furore made by our netas (and abhinetas) over the controversy is most amusing. Certain comments made by a few retarded individuals with a collective IQ of around 20, actually threatened to become a diplomatic issue between the two countries.
We would rather have the Queen apologize for this, than for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
After all apologies are accepted, we would go back to our normal business.We would classify all foreigners into 'Gora', 'Kaala' and 'Chinki' categories. Then we will continue calling all South Indians as 'Madraasi' , all Northies as 'Bhaiyya' and all Maharashtrians as 'Ghati'.
We can do that. But if they do it, its a sin. "All goras are racists! How dare they call us brown??". Hypocrisy, anyone?
Ms. Shetty deserves credit though . She played the right moves, stuck to a plan and ended up with the grand prize and hordes of other new offers.
The one thing that i realized from all this , Shilpa can act!
At least, we don't have to see her whine anymore.
Post Script: I am all for reality shows and the drama associated with those. It makes good TV. But the grouse is against those who give undue importance to these shows. The government should have better things to do. Or at least pretend that ways.

I guess your blog mirrors most people's thoughts.
Rightly put,we have better issues to discuss rather than watching Big Brother..and derving sadistic pleasure from the same,
Or media is also partly or we can say wholly to be blamed for this hype and hoolah too..
Congrats to Miss Shetty for making it big..
Is the Indian Tax Department listening?????
You echoed my exact thoughts buddy. I was also amazed by the Indian response as if racism is an alien concept here.
The only bright side (if I can use that term) to racism in India is there is more of an intent to ridicule rather than any actual hostility.
