Television is the cheapest entertainment available in Pakistan. Undoubtedly we all must be thankful to this “Satellite era” .These channels provide us news @ “before it happens” —- and sometimes “as it happens” ,to keep nation abreast (to sizzle)
Channels daily based Political “Talk shows”, speaks itself the “seriousness” of participants ( in dazzling new suits with contrast ties , blushed faces , sipping coffee / tea during Program) discussing and “Worried / conscious ” about Public issues and increasing poverty rate in Pakistan. In such programs, they discuss problems less and blame each other more. Sometimes I feel that anchor is playing “DUGDUGGY” and participants (Politicians / Analysts) are quarreling / exchanging hot words on beats of “DUGDUGGY” in hand of Anchor ( anchor smile reflects so) Such “fascinating scene” amuses public a lot , but temporarily .I strongly appreciate such programs , must be continued in the interest of public as an free amusement and free entertainment. These programs never ends in any result ,conclusion or message to public , except “internal chikkling inside studio”–as soon come out of studio, surely these participants must be laughing and happy upon success in making public fool.
All must have noticed that a new trend has been introduced (added).THOSE ARE “MASALA CHANNELS” which tells kitchen recipes!
A lady or man (Chef) will stand in a most modern, well equipped kitchen in front of an imported cooking range with other latest kitchen ware. He will start demonstration, detailing “Ratio” of “Maslas” while receiving calls from those who are interested (mostly ladies). If we look the decor of that kitchen, a mediocre can build one house for family at the expanses of that kitchen.
Please do not take it a criticism or objection upon channels for telecasting such programs, My only question to such channels (under present circumstances is):-
What is the percentage of people in Pakistan who can afford these prescribed dishes? Surely it is elite class or upper middle class?
If these channels are for said classes, then why all media participants criticizes upon elite class? Whereas itself working for them? This media cries itself that “It has bee notified that use of FLOUR” has been reduced @ 10 % due to less purchase power “If so which class is utilizing such recipes? ( at least I can not)
When poor (who can watch program only, but unable to practice) How they will feel? “EHSAAS A MEHROOMI” (HELPLESSNESS)?
Providing recipes is a great service – Channels must practice Keeping in view present circumstances , per capita income , suicide rate due to hunger , unemployment , exorbitant price hike in commodities etc.
I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST HUMBLY TO SUCH CHANNELS! PLEASE DO INTRODUCE NEW “RECIPES” IN ACCORDANCE WITH DEMAND OF TIME ,KEEPING IN VIEW PRESENT AND FORTH COMING CIRCUMSTANCES :-JUST AS – HOW TO PREPARE ? ?
GRASS MASALAH —JALFREZY FROM BRANCH OF TREE — LEAF CURRY — GHAS PHOOS PULAO–MENCHORIAN FROM TREE LEAF —“ TAHLY” KURAHY (branch of a tree kurahy) — “JURRY BOOTY” (Herbs) HAUNDY — STONE SOUP —TREE PLUM TIKKA/KUBAB—-GHULAB PLANT “Sujji”—- ROTTEN EGG FRIES — HOW TO ROAST BRANCH OF TREE — HOW TO GET TEA TASTE WITHOUT USING MILK AND TEA LEAVES ! ! Etc.( BECAUSE THAT IS THE REAL NEED OF FUTURE ).
I am of the opinion “All those, benefited by these recipes do afford to go in TOP CLASS RESTAURANTS where they can get much more delicious foods than telecasted – This is the lower middle class who is interested but cant afford such expansive masalas –
PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER OR TAKE IT A SATIRE OR IRONY, BUT A SINCERE REQUEST THAT :———
“COOKING CHANNELS” MUST THINK ABOUT THIS SINCERE SUGGESTION!! “BOHUTOON E KA BHULKA HO GA” WITH PRACTICE TO FACE FUTURE AS PRESNTLY MUTTON , BEEF , CHICKEN , VEGETABLES , FRUITS ARE A SWEET DREAM FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEITHER IN ELITE CLASS NOR IN POLITICS OR ———————————-.
IT IS TO BE SAID –”ALLAH SUBUR KURNY WALOON KE SAATH HY”. ?
YEH DOLUT MUND DIKHLA KE COOKING CHANNELS
HUM BHOOKON KEY BHOOK KA URATY HAIN HY MUZAK
