And I dont understand one thing..

Paying the boy 2 lakhs for surviving the ordeal?
Alright, it is very difficult to survive something like that for a small kid,

But 2 Lakhs????

One wonders even if the mumbai blast victims were paid something like that..

Next, why dont we make him a national icon and ask Ram Gopal Varma to make a film on the boy and his “horrifying” experiences?

Or perhaps Alfred Hitchcock with something like 53 feet beneath?

Oh! I am gonna go maaaaaad

I completely agree with u . It is not good to only keep showing the same dammmm thing again and again
Its ok showing for half an hour or one or somewhat after evry 2hrs and not for a long 48 hrs!!!!!
Media should not concentrate on these thing it should also show all the other headlines.
Its nice that someone has protested against this act.

I don’t mind them covering the story. Its the Indian Media’s Obssession with the whole thing that has bothered me. And also the International Media is forced to put this news because our News Channels showed it to us nothing else but this drama for 48 hrs!!!

If you read the BBC has in a very subtel way critsized the News Channels for its coverage.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Yet another example of Indian Media getting its priorities wrong. Channels like ZEE News and Star news makes me really sick.
Whats more astonishing is the government!! Haryana gov announced a grant of 2 lakh rupee while PM sent his best wishes!
And well, the international media is also not far behind.
