an u r rite in what u r saying but i also feel tht when an issue is over-exposed..it loses its edge....people either become overly pessimistic or cynical..or they simply stop caring..u know be numb to it...
this has happened to me....not with the emancipated woman and child (at least not yet) but with some other issues..i seemed to have stopped caring

Well, not talking about the awards or critical acclaim, but I have started to feel ... the emaciated child and her mother need more attention and promotion so that they can survive and also to make us ensure that they get a better life. Happiness and rich will thrive and do not require more attention than what they already receive and get.

I wanted to write more... but still thinking... 😊 just my POV.

Arwen, I am still thinking as I said... I'll tell you what happened today, I was watching India lose the cricket match, and in between I was surfing channels... and I watched a part of "Uttaran" ... the girl wanted 100 rupees to join her drawing class... and that made me think...

Arwen, it's more of out of sight and out of mind scenario. If we only see the good, will we ever know that there is a darker alley too. B'lore is all about success, progress and pubs, but when actor Rajkumar passed away, one saw the other side of B'lore... if we do not show them or give them the space, we will lose touch with reality.

Thats a wonderful POV ....... I'm all for it if its taken this way ....... You know actually there are peoply like CRY who do it in this way ......... they promote the pictures of poor children who need our support ..... and it really works ........

It's only this contest / awards thing that makes me mad ..... enter a famous contest .... win the first place and the critical acclaim ..... pocket the prize ...... enjoy your cocktails ...... go home without so much as a backward glance .......

Totally Agree .......... An ........

Out of sight is really out of mind .........

Maybe here the point is how things are portrayed .......

Sensitively or with sensationalism .........

We do have quite a few documentaries which highlight issues like this with sensitivity .....

Then we have the TV serial kinds which sensationalise the whole thing .........

Ever watch the crime story serial ?? ..... dont remember which channel it used to come on ....... but they used to show real life crime stories ............

It was absolute 🤢🤢🤢 ....

They used to say they are highlighting the crime .... it was more like a perversely voyueristic show ........

And the sickening thing was it was quite a hit ....... 🤢

Arre nahi Nups.. not at all.. just dint want to put a spoke in the healthy discussion. 😃 Still havent watched it, still want to. I was the one egging every one on when the music was launched. But still havent had time to catch the movie.

@Dawn- Am watching Slumdog today (on my comp 😉) Rahman, Resul and Gulzar, yes, amazing honors for India.. not ARR's best work, but he deserved an Academy Award since very long, that man is a living legend. I rate him the best musician in the world. I was ecstatic the day the Awards were announced.
