Why? Why? Why? What were you trying to achieve? Maybe my words are being influenced by Chandler’s antics on one of the Friends re-run which I am watching while writing this post. But this is what I would really like to ask Aaj Tak on their recent sting operation on politics and factionalism in Indian cricket team.
Totally TRP driven news, unnecessarily trying to create rift, based upon the comments of people who would hardly know the details of what was going in the dressing room in Caribbeans. Yes Sanjay Jagdale was there but he did not talk about major rifts and lets be honest there are bound to be odd instances of problems among 15 men, especially when they are under enormous pressure of living up to “blue billion” hopes .
By the way I wonder if there was a need of real sting operation at all. Looking at our ever “ready to comment” cricket administrators, thrusting a mike and camera into their faces would have been enough to get these soundbites. But then all such topics were already done to death last month and would have hardly been newsworthy without the word “Sting” attached to it.
I count my lucky stars that sitting outside India, I am not being exposed to the meaningless reruns of this sting operation with over excited presenters, minute analysis of each and every word said by the selectors etc.
Aaj Tak, what did you achieve except highlighting your proficiency in yellow journalism?
