Arnab Goswami - The Shining Knight of the Night - Part 1

Noise - Ah! The dreaded 5 letter word which causes many to lose over their sleep and have their sweet dreams polluted to produce a jarring effect on their forty winks. I am sure most of you would have experienced the adverse effects of a blaring loudspeaker - either during an election rally or during the Aadi season. The disconcerting uneasiness. The High BP. The persistent annoyance. You tend to be highly strung and extremely uptight unless and until the much needed silence engulfs your immediate surrounding thus ensuring that you don't go bonkers but be within the reasonable bounds of sanity as soon as the calm lull descends upon us.

I really don't have to say anything more as to why I had given such an introduction with Arnab Goswami as my title. Some perceive his tryst with The Newshour as an unruly fish market. Others view his programme as a cacophonous amalgam of disharmony and pandemonium. I have heard certain people saying 'Barking dogs seldom bite' and 'Empty vessels make more noise'. But, how I personally see him is - 'Still waters run deep'. With Arnab Goswami, the 'Still waters' in the adage has to be loudly replaced with 'Thundering Waterfalls'.

The problem with the majority of the people in our country is they are so used to seeing the corrupt bureaucrats at various trophic levels and manipulative media that they are clearly unable to discriminate the good egg and bad egg despite the hardened evidence showing contrary that some people aver and champion for their causes and plights. When anyone does the right thing, the immediate reaction for many would be to hold a flag or enact a dharna to oppose them so that these flagbearers can occlude and obviate their adversaries from supporting or ameliorating the causes that actually touches the lives of the people and has a direct impact in our day to day life.

This is what is actually happening with Modi ji and Arnab Goswami who wants to bring about a positive change in our country. But, when one cannot reach the stature of certain individuals, what people with cheap mentality does is that they pull down them to their distastefully abysmal level and trample all over them as it is the easiest thing in the world to accomplish for such pitiable souls.

In fact, if a person can remove their tainted glasses and view the world as such, they can find significant similarities between our PM and Arnab Goswami. Both have faced severe criticisms for their proper style of handling things when it comes to addressing the concerns of the people. Likewise, the pair has got the dubious distinction to have many a meme created against their names by people who cannot be like them. Modi ji bats for Achhe din and Arnab Goswami is Achhe DIN..!
