It’s 10.45 PM now and mindless channel surfing across four Hindi TV news channels tells me that:
Mangetar ki chaahat . . . saheli ka balaatkaar
Mangetar ki chaahat . . . saheli ka balaatkaar
Shouhar ki khaaish . . . biwi ki blue film
Ek missed call . . badal gayi jindagi uski
Videsh se lauta . . . flyover kaa lutera
Thankfully, a fourth channel had sports news so I learnt that Sachin ne sanyaas lene se inkaar kiya.
That is how India kept abreast with news, today.
Don’t worry. Be happy. Aur bhi gam hain jamaane mein.

Can it get worse??!! This is positively bizarre. I never ever get to watch stuff like this since the TV remote is monopolized by the kid- it is sports action when he is at home!
And the logic trotted out is that it's what people want. But as an ex-BBC head once said, that's like a politician inciting an already charged audience saying that's what people want to hear.
It would be funny had it not been so sad.
