NDTV's stupid reporter.

I like NDTV, both India & 24X7...

But today NDTV India had one of those stupid things on national television. As far as my memory is concerned good, 20 people have been electrocuted(once 7 in a single day, later another 5) in the so-called world class capital of India, and today when it is raining so awesomely (not for the people stuck on roads), one of NDTV's reporters, covering Greater Kailash area was standing in foot deep water! She was screaming her lungs out while covering the waterlogged streets and even though the place where she stood was about less than a foot under water (she was closer to the pavement and behind her you could see cars moving, in a clearly interior road of GK ), she screamed that the water was knee-deep, and causing massive jams(in her brain, which is why she couldn't stand on the pavement and cover the story)! Wow! Everyone trying to be Barkha Dutt and putting their lives on stake! Good job gal.

Amazing na! :P

I am just praying that the good monsoon reaches Bihar in 3-4 days as claimed by news agencies, so that the drought hit state gets a reprive! Amen.
