Prince is in the well..
Who put him in?
God only knows...
Who pulled him out?
Even a dog in India knows.."
Seriously,what was all that media coverage for 2 days about a 'Prince' getting rescued out of a 50 feet pit?I still cannot believe that it made to the front pages of all news websites and newspapers.By the way,can't the bloody media clarify that he was not a prince or heir to some old Kingdom?It took a while for me to understand that the kid was not some prince but had the word 'Prince' as part of his name!Not that it makes a difference if it was 'Prince Charles' or this 'Prince'.Its good that he escaped without much pain and the army definitely deserves a lot of kudos for their act.
It was really a sad thing that a small kid had to endure such an agonising 2 days of loneliness,darkness and an almost macabre experience,but it does not really qualify for being shown on Indian TVs as a case of so-called 'reality TV' coverage.
The CM has announced 2 Lakh Rs as compensation to the family of 'Prince'.What the hell?What was the basis for that piece of compensation?Now,will the media stop with this or will it cover the kid's 15th birthday or his graduation as a special program in 2015 or 2020,with an hr of recap of what happened last week?
Few bad things that this incident in Indian social life might create in future :
1)The poor farmers in Andhra may think of voluntarily pushing their kids or wife into some pit or well and hope for the CM to intervene.
2)The kids who watched TV last week might feel that the 'Faujiii' uncle will be there always to rescue them from any problem and might dare to take risky steps while playing.
3)Media companies will have this as an excellent case study for capturing the minds of the masses and would be ready to pounce upon any silly happening just to gain attention.
4)The people who saw this and got irritated might start giving lesser attention and help to other incidents warranting support and attention from the masses.
5)Prince,who would have grown up to be a good student in his village or a good farmer like his dad has all chances of getting wasted due to the sudden money and attention that he got from this.
