The Replacement Factor


It's been hardly a week and the Guwahati incident has already been replaced by Rajesh Kanna's death.

NDTV headline reads "The last words of Rajesh Kanna - PACK UP"
Nut heads, real nut heads these media people are. Not now, not henceforth, it's been ever since early nineties. Those who have known Kublha Khan or those have watched the movie Citizen Kane would know this.

Citizen Kane is a character, a mutli millionaire who lived through the world wars and an influential entrepreneur. His dying words "Rosewood" were fuming across the streets as media made it talk of the town. News reported were competing to find it out first. The following two hours after the death of Kane was merely a reality show run by press person only to find out Rosewood was no person, no concubine of Kane which most of the media persons believed, not the name of his virtual daughter, not his crush and not his second family, but the skateboard he had as a kid. Yes, the skate board was named "Rosewood" which none of the news persons found out until it all came to an end.

The once sensational news is overridden by the next. People move on, funny, yet it's incontrovertible!
Seriously "PACK UP", god I just can't get it over my mind. Who cares what his last words meant, no disrespects to the veteran, but it's just intolerable !

Thenappan..,
