Indian Squad leaves for the WC2007----is this news?

Well you must be wondering why on Earth I'm writing this piece of crap on my blog.Practically speaking as of now even our grandma must be knowing about it.But Honestly speaking this was the last I heard from the horse's mouth (read News channels;read its 1.30 a.m. and by now even Ekta Kapoor must been fed up hearing about this "K" word:(read Kricket).Well,Excessive coverage and inflating issues has been the norm for these media channels bearing in mind the kinda competition they are facing.Everyone wants a piece of this pie but no one is sure where to get it from.Remember the Lil Prince episode....well given what was at stake(i guess the Lil Prince=India's future was the mathematical formula the news channels were working on)I don't need to mention the media coverage it was getting! IIIly Today's honors went to the departure of the Indian squad for the World Cup.Well i don't see any logic in covering cricketers starting from their home towards the airport(i don't think midway they were upto some practice or strategy,or were they still playing while coming towards the airport)And to top it all we had News channels asking most irrelevant people about the chances of India winning the WC....I mean are these channels overtly consumer centric or is this some kinda long term startegy to impact the mind of a common man so that he goes Insane.Rahul Dravid made a very valid point during his stint as the editor of STOI that "only in case India wins the WC you (the TOI guys) can put it on the front page but only on the right hand bottom corner".And look what have they done!I just hope that I don't see the snaps of the Indian team
splashed on the front pages of the national dailies tomorrow.I sincerely request all of them spare a thought atleast for the sake of the man in charge of the Indian team.Let sanity prevail.
