Ramzan: Giveaway TV Shows


In this year’s Ramzan, the Tv media is inundated with shows that are giving away free commodities to audience on mere anchor’s impulse or for answering simple question.


TRP of such programs are on high for example Ramzan Pakistan hosted by Aamir Liaquat and Jeeto Pakistan hosted by Fahad Mustafa are among the toppers. The programs producers maintain that since Ramzan is a month of happiness; they are also distributing happiness by prize giveaways.

A question that lingers in viewer’s mind is how one can attend these TV shows as audience. Major section believes that is all up to personal relations that one may attend such shows. Hence if people are getting expensive gifts namely Mobiles, Laptops, LCDS, Motor Bikes, Cars e.t.c. just because they have more reach is surely enhancing the imbalance that exist b/w affluent and deprived in our society.

Remember that a person is poor due to this very reason that he has no access to opportunities in society. He does not know the tricks of earning money and cannot reach avenues that may give him earning options. Surely this person would not able to reach these TV shows either and hence must be watching them as mere spectator. Hence the actual who deserves do not get their due share.

 In a society a rich and poor has to co-exists, but there should be a benchmark that defines why society has confer more to some people than others. Most likely this benchmark is knowledge and wisdom. But by giving people expensive gifts for no apparent reason, a thought is getting cultivated among youngsters that one can use ‘Shortcuts’ to gain comforts without using the right way as described by society norms.
Sanity requests from all such TV shows’ Producers / Sponsors to kindly refrain from giveaways instead same valuable amount should be used directly to help poor people.

Ball tempering v/s Spot fixing

In the ongoing South African Cricket team tour of Srilanka, South African pace bowler Vernon Philander has been fined 75 per cent of his match fee for tampering with the ball during the third day of the first test against Sri Lanka. Philander has accepted the ball tempering charge. Remember that this is 2nd time where South African team has been accused of ball tempering. Last time Faf du Plessis was abetted by Philander and fined for ball tampering during test series against Pakistan in October, 2013. With such lame punishments, ICC seems to advertising an option to Cricket teams where for a few dollars penalty a cheat of Ball tempering is at their disposal that can go a long way in dictating final outcome of a match. As a Cricket viewer, I have been duped. All time while watching the match for last 3 days, I thought that 2 teams are playing on same fields with fair chance of winning. But that was not the case; a team was cheating in the field but also with all cricket viewe...

Malaysian Flight MH17 Air Crash

On July 17, 2014, a Malaysia Airlines passenger plane MH17 crashed in Ukraine, near Russian border. There were nearly 280 passengers and 15 crew members on board. Sources believe that the Plane has been hit by a missile when it was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet. Ukrainian officials and pro-Russian rebels accuse each other of this incident. Indeed this is very sad event. Sanity extends its condolences to families of people who have lost their lives in this tragic event. An unbiased immediate inquiry of this incident is demanded so actual mischiefs be trialed and given due punishment. It is hard to infer reason why such cruel action has been taken by any source. The passengers and crew members were innocent and not a party in any conflict.

The area, in which debris of victim Plane is found, is under...
