Indian TV Channels
Very Interesting....just read on...but it is sad that this is what is happening...in real
Here is how Indian TV news channels would report the Jack and Jill story we learnt in nursery rhymes, if the country remains completely peaceful and incident free for 24 hours.
All names (except those of Jack and Jill) are fictitious.
Prashant - TV Anchor: Two persons have been injured in a freak climbing accident. Jack and his companion Jill had gone up a hill to fetch a pail of water when Jack fell down and broke his crown. Jill came tumbling after.
Amrita Shah: Thank you Prashant. Well, as you said, two persons - Jack and Jill had gone up a hill to fetch a pail of water. Suddenly, Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
Prashant: Thank you Amrita. What do we know about the hill?
Amrita: Not too much at the moment. You see the hill in the background. Jack was going up the hill to fetch a pail of water when he fell down and broke his crown. Jill came tumbling after.
[Headline flashes at the foot of the TV screen: "Hill breaks the crown of pail-boy, Jack"]
Prashant : Do you have anything more to tell our viewers about Jack and Jill?
Amrita: Sure, Prashant! It seems that Jack had gone up the hill to fetch a pail of water. We know nothing about the pail, or how heavy it was, but it seems that Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after. I have here with me, an eyewitness to the accident, Mr.Babu Trivedi.
Mr Trivedi, tell us what you saw.
Babu Trivedi: I saw Jack and Jill going up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
[Headline appears at the foot of the TV screen: "Boy and girl tumble down hill. Water spilled"]
Amrita :Jack and Jill. What do you know about them? Are they brother and sister? Are they classmates? or adults? If they are adults, are they in love with each other? or married? Just what were they doing on the hill together?
Babu Trivedi : I do not know such technical details. All I can say is that Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Amrita: Thank you. Please tell our eager viewers, what happened next?
Babu Trivedi : Jack unfortunately fell down and broke his crown.
Amrita: Go on…
Babu Trivedi : And Jill came tumbling after.
Amrita: Thank you, Mr. Trivedi. (Trivedi goes off screen) Prashant, there you have it. Two people innocently going about their business to fetch a pail of water when one of them falls down, breaks his crown, and the other comes tumbling after. Back to you in the studio, Prashant.
[Headline appears at the foot of the TV screen: "Water errand ends in a tragedy"]
Prashant :I have with me in the studio now, Professor Chandrashekar Gupta from the Indian Institute of Applied Hill Sciences and Trekkers. Professor, a hill; Jack; Jill; a pail of water. A tragedy waiting to happen? What do you feel about it?
Professor :Well, that depends on 1) the hill, 2) the two persons 3) the steepness of the slope they were trekking 4) the object they were carrying and 5) the conditions underfoot.
Let us look at the evidence gathered so far. Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown. And Jill came tumbling after. Clearly, one would suspect that if Jack's fall was severe enough to break his crown, then the surface of the hill must have been slippery or unstable and the architect responsible for such shoddy work must be held accountable. But, nevertheless, I also think we are over looking something quite fundamental here. Who was carrying the pail? Mmm....Jack fell down and broke his crown; and this is the key. Jill came tumbling after. If Jack and Jill had been carrying the pail together, would they not have fallen at the same time? The fact that Jill came tumbling after suggests that Jack lost his footing first and perhaps knocked Jill over as he slipped.
Prashant: Professor, thank you very much. So there we have it, two persons Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after. One last question, do you think that there could be some communal forces or extremists behind this grave accident?
Professor: While I do see that at the moment, the possibility of either or both could not be ruled out. I feel an in-depth investigation with no outside interference or a judicial enquiry alone will get the truth!
Prashant: Thank you professor for being with us,
Professor. Thank you.
(Headline : Who was at fault ? Send your sms to 56567 : At fault Jack <a>; Jill<b>)
Prashant: Next up, join us after the break for a studio discussion about hills, boys and girls and whether water-fetching trips in hills should be supervised and regulated by a nodal agency. We will be right back. Stay with us!
"In addition to that some other flash news: "Minority boy Jack fell down and Dalit girl Jill came tumbling after....
Home minister P Chidambaram: This is because of SAFFRON TERROR, our govt will take all steps stop this.
Congress spokesperson Manish Trivedi: Narendra Modi is behind the incident and CBI will find out the truth.
Karunanidhi in Iftar party: We will never tolerate these kind of attack on minorities, Jayalalitha is indirectly encouraging hindu terrorism and because of that Tamil people in Srilanka are getting affected.!!!???
Ha...ha ....Laugh Out Loud
