there is this new show on ndtv goodtimes...which is one of the few channels showing actually good stuff...and the anchors look intell..anyways the show is ...and kate and 8...a show about this couple who have two 6 years olds and 6 two years olds...its their tagline. i remember that when the couple had this sixtuples (there is some other words but this is the logical word), there were worries how they would support such a big family. guess the money they are getting from this show would help. but then the thought that i have had for long, which i actually though, i should suggest to some intell channle like ndtv is...why not have reality shows where you actually describe the life of common people. pick up anyone, a house help maid, a rag picker, a carpenter, a security gaurd, a rickshaw driver, a female bus conductor, people who are not profiled otherwise, who don't have 'interesting for a tv show' kinda happening life, pick them and profile one week in their life. make it interesting, simply by compressing maybe a year or a phase into one week, thats fine.
it seems their life is uninteresting...but once u look deeper, u know their cirumstances and how they hand them is so much more interestng then the usual high profile buisnessmen and actors and politicians...
i once started chatting with a rickshaw driver, was going somewhere late at night, he was a muslim, i asked him how come he is driving so late, and his flat answer, i get 1.5 times, so in less time can make up the same money. plus their is no traffic, its less safe, but i can handle that. and then he told me about his family and stuff...was fun, but more then that, i really wanted to share his story with others. it was remarkable in its own way.
and then there is this rag picker lady, who follows a schedule everyday, and once in a while wears this flaming red kurta but would never wash her head. she hair the kind which has not been washed for ages...and she loves watchign TV. there's a pic of her here....
am wondering if i have written this before!!!
