Whats common to the World Cup, निशब्द & The Board Exams?

What’s common to all three? Media hype of course!

After the media got over the ‘how-stupid-can-you-get’ Union Budget:
Here is a rundown of all the media reports I read and saw recently about the 3 vital issues concerning the country at the moment:
India has the best squad, the best batsmen, the best bowlers, the best physio, the best host, the best tarot card readers, the best advertisements, the best official cricket song, the best coverage and the best opinion leaders. Most importantly we have Sachin Tendulkar who through television channels advised people to remain calm and support the team in difficult times, which I think he foresees too clearly these days. The timings too are great this time. People would not feel that depressed and disgusted. They would just feel sleepy.
The business news channels reported an increase in sale of television sets and DTH sets during the World Cup 2007 -as it was in World Cup 2003…as it was in World Cup 19…
The media these days gave as much inportance to the ongoing board exams.
Media reports talked about poor public conveyance systems (in patrs of the country where there are public coveyances) which did not allow mant examinees to reach the examination hall in time.
Reports said that there was an increase sales of books during these examinations.{Like, a student who had found that ‘Together with Biology’ had got him/her a lot of common questions in the ICSE exams, the same day itself bought ‘Together with Chemistry’ and ‘Together with Physics’.} Moreover, the sales of coffee and Horlicks increased to greater heights along with stationary and other items. Parents, driven by the obsession of seeing their child do extensively well in examinations, don’t question such purchases.
I never liked my parents taking interest in my studies.
Only when these examenees enter college and graduate, they would understand that the board examinations weren’t the end all of their lives, as their teachers or their acquaintances made it out to be.
Almost all news programmes ended with the movie review of the much hyped up film Nishabd.
Quite obviously, BiG B can do nothing wrong. This time he is emotionally involved with a girl who is 18 years old, he himself being 60. Notice, the girl isn’t 17, 16 or 15. She is 18. And that is stressed upon all the reviews all the time.
No, I coudnt gather the guts to watch the movie yet ..but here is what I could gather for the reports, reviews and interviews shown on the news channels time and time again:

18 year old girls from Australia are essentially explosive, have uncontrollable urges to dance with hose pipes in front of the house, have a love for lollipops [which, I don’t know how, transmits basic sexual advances to the friend’s dad] and have the very unhealthy habit of poking tree branches in the friend’s dad’s ears while he is driving. They also incidentally dont get any trousers from Australia.
A 60 year old man would sacrifice the love of his life -his wife and children- to the hose pipes, the lollipops, the horrific accent, the poetry and the grammatical mistakes in speech which is enough to keep him alive.He is also turned into a peeping tom and a gifted photographer who happily clicks away pictures of his daughters friend from Australia.
Is a 60 year old man’s wife is always the dullest human being living on this planet earth?
Hats of to the director who can depict all this.
Why is the girl from Australia and not Newzeland or Canada or Mexico.There have been some reasoning behind that.Ramu G never potrays any character without solid reasoning.What dose a girl do when she finds out that her father is having an affair with her friend. Hey that’s the agenda…will have to watch the film for that.
