reality shows

Oh my blog posts now looks like an announcement board talking about one meeting after another. so let me talk about something else different now

Today in the afternoon when I was having lunch, I happened to see a Reality show - so what is different in this show was :

There was a competition going on and the competition to choose the pair which scored the highest points . Guess what ! The real difference was the competition place and also the activity - It was the plucking of " Drum sticks" by farm labourers. Yes it is true The whole thing was set in a real work environment and the participants were competing on the actual work they perform everyday. These poor ordinary labourers without any surrounding sets were performing so well in their natural environment. The pair which had plucked the highest number was given a Silk Saree and all the participants also got gifts. within a time of 2 minutes this pair managed to pluck 237 drum sticks. I am sure this zeal will continue when they do their duties even after the competition was over.

For once, this reality show makes people understand that their everyday job is also a competitive one and there is a way you can prove you are excellent individual by your efficiency whatever may be the job you are handling. More than anything is that the concept of reaching out to those people who even in their remote dreams wouldn't be thinking of being part of a realty show on a TV. The happiness on their faces has to be seen to be believed.

Well done Makkal Tholaikatchi. This is a channel for promoting Tamil and for once people talk in proper Tamil without colloquialism. Like Vijay TV, these people also bring out very innovative programs, but how much market penetration is there unlike vijay TV is there for them is something that is to be thought through. But on the whole Good Job.
