Face the Truth

I remember those days when we used to play STD( Stare-Truth-Dare) keeping our fingers crossed. When asked to take a pick from these three letters, T used to be my favourite. But I found it hilarious when this child's play jumped onto the small screens. I couldn't contain my curiousity to know the pattern of this truth game. I tuned in to the channel only to see two gentlemen well-dressed sitting facing each other. The first set of questions made me go 'huh'! I wondered if these contestants required a camera and a hotseat to answer these not-so-uncommon questions. But the further grilling made my mouth open wide. It was making a bold attempt to conquer the frontier of uncountable thoughts, break the barrier of ethics and filch the rights of confidentiality. It's believed humans are supposed to have humanity. But here, the fiend of sadism has already claimed its victory. The contestant starts off with his friends and foes flanking him and the show gracefully turning them into his foes. Some people, of course, tried to put it off the screens but in vain.

But i have many questions left unanswered. firstly, what does the show aim at? If it were the great personalities with a dignified past, we could have hesitantly forgiven under the pretext of setting their example before people. But sadly, this technique fails.. so finally what's the answer??

It's astonishing to see people gearing up for their cheap publicity. Also, shame on people who derive pleasure sticking on to the TV sets at this hour..another face of sadism i would say.. It has become a matter of pride to be infamous as they can sense the term 'fame' hiding between.They not only earn money but also enough contempt in society!!

'Think before you act' is how a famous proveb goes. You have hundreds of visitors checking in and out of your mind and you hardly bother about them.. but the hotseat constantly enquires you about all those whom you snubbed.. It's as funny as redepositing a cancelled cheque!!!

Alas! Money and fame have become everything in life... they have turned people blind towards morales and culture..I pity the preys of this carnivore..you never know!! one day you might find yourselves answering such questions raised by your GenX who are currently the silent watchers of the show and no polygraph test gonna prove you right then.. precaution is better than regret!!!
