I was watching TV non-stop. Why? Because that is what SAHM-A do. What is A - always. Stay at home mom always. Why do I stay at home always? People try to call names even when you are cooped up in your home 24 by7. What will they do if you go out?
Any ways I stay at home and watch TV excessively. So that I can feel bad about myself and project it on others.
First one was a TV serial - a historical TV serial about Ashoka. The formula these people have invented for such serials seems like this - take some facts, add few villains, few vamps and few facts from other stories and some young romantic love of children in early teens and plots. Most important of all, each episode must show all actors' faces in close-up every ten minutes. Uff.
Then there was a discussion about how Lokpal which started with the intention of making political class and bureaucrats accountable, and now is harassing NGOs. Did you know that around 15000 NGOs have been banned from accepting foreign funds? Did you know that the trustees and office bearers of NGOs are treated as public servants and they will have to declare their assets before the Lokpal? The trustees who do not take any many, but spend their time and money on the NGOs have to declare their assets. But the spouses and children of bureaucrats are exempted from declaring their assets. A Rajyasabha MP put it succinctly "this is the way of controlling some NGOs that may be against their agenda"
Uff again.
