It’s Hot Machi!

DMK wins. AIADMK loses. People do rallies on Gemini Flyover. Dance and sing. It’s red and black all over chennai. The two leaves have gone.

So, now you can expect Colour TV’s and Set-Top-Boxes into the houses of people in Tamil Nadu. With DMK taking over, rowdyism is expected to grow. But not at the cost of development I hope.

Media is slowly deteriorating to its worst-ever. Jaya TV (AIADMK’s mouthpiece, obvious from the name right?)continued to give wrong reports of the election even when it was established that AIADMK had lost it! Sun TV was going gaga over its victory; what with its owner’s brother Mr. Dayanidhi Maran occupying the space below the left-arm of 82-year old Mr. M. Karunanidhi - who becomes the chief minister for the fifth time. The CNN-IBN and The Hindu were quite satisfied with the fact that their exit poll was proved correct. Probably for the first time ever some opinion poll was proved correct on TN elections!

Sreenivasan Jain of NDTV, characteristically was pulling the mikes away from the speakers halfway at his post-elections show on TN. And his act of being spontaneous generally backfires. There are so many “aaa..”s and “mmm…”s in his speech that you will go to sleep. And he never does his homework for any programme. Sports a beard similar to Prannoy Roy and thinks he is better than Prannoy Roy! Something like Sehwag thinking he is Tendulkar!

SunTV, well, I don’t know when these fellows will improve their presentation. The winners list was displayed like it was an invitation for a funeral! Blue background (that Doordarshan blue) with white font. And it was being read out by the newsreader. You can’t get worse than this!

We now have an 82-year old CM for TN. I guess this will be his farewell term. Or else he might create a record for being the oldest CM of a state in India! Anyway’s let’s hope for the best in Tamil Nadu! All the best to DMK for making TN better!

PS: The title of this post refers to the best FM Radio Station in Chennai. Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM. It’s hot machi!

Basically it depends how the media is prepared to cover the event. It seems they haven’t done any thing…
Adi, if Suchitra of Radio mirchi had presented, it might have been real Hot…I’m just imagining how she might have read the winners name…

Man! Nowadays, I listen to Suchi daily! I put on my handsfree and listen to Radio Mirchi while driving to office. Hello Chennai by our own Suchi! How I wish my home was farther away from office! ;)

“There are so many “aaa..”s and “mmm…”s in his speech that you will go to sleep. And he never does his homework for any programme. Sports a beard similar to Prannoy Roy and thinks he is better than Prannoy Roy! ” - this was sooo funny!! :))
