Nowadays, flicking through channels has become routine. I have reached the conclusion that there is just nothing interesting to watch anymore. The number of shows on TV seems to increase everyday but their substance is decreasing at a similarly rapid pace. I really miss the days when it the choice was simple and the entertainment was interesting. I'd turn on the TV and there was Antakshari with Anu Kapoor or the BQC with Derek O'Brien. The former satisfying my musical ear and the latter, my need for mind fodder. The Bournvita Quiz Contest especially was such a delight – laughter and fun along with sharpening of the mind. It used to become a family affair, with kids and grandparents, both enjoying the competitive atmosphere it created in the living room. Shows like the BQC actually created a space for themselves in our hearts, as opposed to the programming today that focuses on superficial entertainment. I wonder where they disappeared to?
