remember news in train

I was looking out the train window

a small child was sitting in opposite seat

was asking his granny

why do people shout on tv

why is there no fun in news any...

his granny thought a while

she said why are you concerned

you watch your cartoons and enjoy

but I wish to be a news anchor

the child cried, only they always shout

the granny found very funny

the little child's sad pout...

I started thinking, when I was a child

we used to have one news piece at night

that too very formal lady or gentlemen

read the news like they read a lesson...

all used to wait for the news

no body questioned it's authenticity

nowadays we don't believe, it's a pity

it used to be a mixed bag of information

from official to sports to even fun...

the highest officials of the state

were mentioned with due respect

no sensation gimmick or stunt

pure information we used to get...

But doesn't the film and tv reflect us

They show only what a viewer watches

To increase their viewership

They are also board the same ship

What the society wants so it gets

The society has to make a choice

Only then all will be very nice

Increase the quality, then entice....
