Jallikattu -Show of Strength or Show of Stupidity?

Jallikattu is one of famous cultural sports events which is about bull taming. As per Historians, it is considered to be event for men to show their masculine strength. To say about Jallikattu, an event where bull is allowed to run in open space where men are asked to tame the bull. The person who does it is winner and strongest person in the area.

In recent times, there have been a lot of controversies whether to ban the event or not. There have been notable deaths and several injuries for people during the event and it is mostly the people who come to watch the event is suffered more by the bull attack. In 2004, at least 5 people were reported dead and several hundreds injured in various villages. Two hundred have died over the past two decades.

The guy who tames the bull gets a lot of fame and money. Here fame is not only limited to person as such, even it is associated with his village. Also, lot of parents was interested to get their daughter wedded to the guy.

In present scenario, our nation faces higher terrorist activities, so now person’s strength can be shown by serving the nation either in police defending the locality or in army as soldiers defending our country’s border. For this all people need is good health and physical fitness which those people who participates in Jallikattu events would posses. Instead of using your strength against an animal which runs in fear and also traumatizing an bull for your selfish reason of getting bride in your locality as strengthens person.

One person’s death must contribute to something helpful at least to his family or nation, it would be best to do if you die serving our nation rather than trying to tame a bull.

I personally feel Jallikattu must be banned .It may be Thamizhan culture for showing strength, you could do that in useful manner by serving our nation.

Realness of Reality show

Reality shows are slowly replacing the mega serials.In Tamil Nadu ,Star Vijay's Reality shows like Kalakau Poovathu Yaaru ,Jodi No 1,Super singer target mainly youth while channels like Sun TV,Kalaignar Tv have copied their ideas and target the general public mainly house wife...

Nowadays these reality shows are being well scripted in the sense they are made up artificially...these are done to evoke emotional feelings thereby make the show hit....One such example would be that supersinger when the elimination were done they added sad music and showed the participants crying ...the music made the impact...

One of the improvement needed in Comedy reality show like Kalaku Poovathu Yaaru,Ellam Siripthan is that when the participants perform their sound level is not heard properly as Female Judge Laughter is heard louder ..This makes us irritated to hear repeadetely laughter voice..

Kaliagnar tv ,jaya tv and sun tv doesnt know to make reality show in professional manner,we can very well know that they are made up ones...comedy show like asathu poovathu yaaru,Ellamay Siriputhan make biggest mistake as they use repeadetly same audience reaction shot after each participant performance ....

Now vijay tv idea have been copied ,so they need to show that they are different and way ahead of other tamil channel reality show..So they have introduced promo having Some emotional scenes from show to increase the curiosity of audience...Recent example could be of Simbu's (Judge) misunderstanding with participant in the show Jodi No 1 is being hyped to create interest..

Anyway now reality shows are loosing their real identity of being natural for the sake of competition...So its high time that they are being stopped being artificial made up shows..
