Prince of Kurukshetra

A 4 year old kid by the name Prince...something... fell into a 60 feet deep pit.
It amazes me the amount of media attention this incident got. But it was an unusual situation, so I was hooked. It was funny at times. Some news channels went out of the way to cover this story, one of the news channels played the national anthem in the background in a really tear-jerking tune. Another channel was asking random people about their opinions (???). So this woman goes like "Mujhe to Prince bhagwaan Krishna ka roop lagta hai". *hehe*

But what mainly caught my attention was the boy's attitude. He did weep occasionally but the calmness with which he spent most of his 49 hours down there seemed positively outlandish! Like he was thinking.. "They'll probably figure it out soon...yeah...aah, there comes the chocloates... I need some water.... sheesh these people are slow... how long does it take to get a kid out...nup, it doesn't look good...*sniff*....PAANI BHEJO!!!... kuch bhi peene ka..."

Rescue officials said he showed outstanding survival instincts. But I think it was because of the fact that he was only 4. No tension! Any adult would have died coz of the worry...

Good going Prince!

Covering such incident is good and newsworthy but I think this was too much. Most of the newspapers dedicating full pages to this story. And like you mentioned reporters blindly trying to interview random people pretty much is a joke.

As far as my opinion is concerned, all the news channels were trying to cash in on the plight of a poor boy. Their concern was not his wellbeing but TRP. Read my views here
