Today every idiot box program producer has one or the other reality show, and I cannot understand why these producers of the show play with the emotions of the viewers. Most of the serials, be it entertainment or reality the target audience is Women? What is the reason behind ? I am unable to understand and even when I tried to understand. On the other day my wife was watching the great cooking show sponsored by Amul, Master chef of India. I found many of these viewers open their mouth and follow the show religiously and get emotionally attached with one of the participant. It is really silly to know that many of the ingredients that are shown in the show and Most of the utensils and crockery ware used in the show, I think many might have not seen or many do not have at home. The food that is prepared, I assume if the same is prepared at home – many might not ask for any more. I always wonder, the three themselves proclaimed intelligent chefs, how can they know everything about the food and food habits including taste. With no options on the above thought I to just opened my eyes to watch the show. The participants were given an hour to prepare and present one dish. Oh thank god, only one dish – one hour, if they had asked for 8 dishes, I would have gone hungry !! or ordered food from hotels. Each and every participants did present something nice to see. I could only imagine the training programs that we attend or present, where we emphasis more on presentation content with animations. I could not taste the dish, neither I felt mouth watering, It was like not interested but nominated to attend the trainings. What I felt really bad was one of the contestants dish was thrown in the dustbin. It was really shocking to see the so called great chef, commenting since the dish is not boiled and the presentation looks like the horns, and that could not be cut through spoon & forks. It was bad dish and it is thrown in dustbin ! Now who will explain to the wise and learned chef that some fruits and vegetables are really good to eat in off-boiled condition?
Bottom-line
In India, there are many people who can afford only one meal in the day. There are many families and children who actually imitate what they watch on these idiotic shows, Who will take the responsibility if the kid says, this is not boiled properly or tasteless and hence throw in dustbin and waste the food. In India we do not have value for human being, every day there are accidents taking place, we show sympathy for a moment and carry on. Let’s not do the same with food that we eat and unneccsarly create awareness on how to waste the food. if we don’t wish to eat, lets at least give it to the deserved, who are really hungry and cannot afford !
Hope Amul and Sanjeev Kapoor correct their act and value the food !!
