THE idiot box....deadliest weapon to destroy our CULTURE

Yesterday I visited my sister's place who is also living in Hyderabad, and infact her's place is the only place where i like to visit in such a big city and play around with my little and sweet bhaanji, and share some thoughts with my didi and jijaji on varied topics.

But yesterday i was a bit late, so my bhaanji was fast asleep and we were having serious discussions on religion, purpose of life, etc etc and belive me we were about to find some answers :) ....

That the TeleVision was switched ON and "Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi" was on the air,we thought along with food we will watch it and suspend gyaanvardhak baatein for some other day....and lo....we were exposed to the world of nonsense(at least i feel that way)

Leave aside all the other things, most of the characters were uttering the word "balatkaar(rape)" committed by the husband on her wife, I was very much surprised to watch and hear that type of stuff that how easily these things have entered into our houses and the way they are going to affect our society and OUR CULTURE.

We say with a lot of pride that OUR CULTURE is the best, but nobody pays any attention the way we are trampling it, smashing it and killing it day by day in our quest to become modern.

Can we stop it,

Otherwise we will be modern but at what COST.
