Lakme Fashion Week

Three days of fashion in Lakme Fashion Week 2006 and two wardrobe malfunctions. First it was Carol Gracias who lost her top ( halter neck ) and the very nex day it was Ex-Miss India Gauhar Khan who found her skirt torn while she was on ramp. All seems to be well scripted. Its quite strange that models found themselves in an embarressing situation in consecutive days. Its seems its a stunt to get attention.

Its hard to believe that the same incident can happen twice in a fashion week. Various models have expressed thier views and called it as just an accident. Although these are the first incident of its kind that happened on Indian ramp. Carol topless video clip is already on net.

A successful publicity stunt.

Media Points ..

Its quite astonishing to see media has entered into our lives specially the TV media. The number of TV news channels have increased the number of entertainment channels. Every channel is getting hot with thier "Sting Operations" and sensationalising the the actual agendas. TRPs are increasing, viewers are looking for masala news. Media is entering into our bedrooms, businesses, relationships etc. Is this intrusion good for the public? Are they trying to help the cause ? To some extent "Yes" !! But somewhere they have lost thier way. When they over sensationalize .. it looks and sounds irritating. How quickly they make or break the stars. A cricket player is having a string of bad games .. he is criticized and virtually thrown out of the team. Next game the same player scores a centuary and the lost glory os redeemed. Do they really analyse or just want to beat the drums ?

The media is someway changing our mindsets.. they way we look at the things. We had a MMS scandel in Delhi last year. It was sensationalised on all TV news channels. Now we have numerous MMS scandal coming up everyday. It may have triggered many notoroius people to make it as a medium of easy money. Every cellphone sold is loaded with a additional feature exclusively provided by the seller. Your favourite MMS free with this cellphone. Young teenagers are buying filthy MMS clips by just paying a few bucks. They see it and they fantasize with them. Somewhere we are spoiling the young brains. Do these news channels really need to scandalize and sensationalize all these issues? Can they be genuine with thier programs ? Can we expect the actual matters highlighted and forgetting the TRPs ( atleast ocassionally ).

Great Wall Of India
