Sometimes film actors get married and produce children. Anil Kapoor also did this and he produced a daughter called Sonam Kapoor.Sonam Kapoor is now a film actor. In future she will get married and she will produce children. Her children will grow up and become actors. They will get married and produce children. Those children will become film actors and they will get married and produce more children who will become film actors who will get married and produce more children who will become film actors….
Anil Kapoor’s marriage and ability to produce children is a long term investment, it just keeps on growing. His life is therefore of paramount interest to a long term investor like myself.
Sonam Kapoor is a strong Indian Woman. She is from India’s younger generation.
This is the generation that is rebellious and is sponsored by Pepsi. It’s a generation that is currently fighting for its own country called Youngistaan.
Sonam Kapoor is not only a film actor but social activist as well. She is an ardent supporter of women’s rights. As a member of the younger generation she does things differently. She cannot stand the abuse of women.
Just recently in Mangalore a man called Pramod Muthalik who has very little hair on his head told his followers to go to a pub and steal liquor but those guys were interrupted by some girls .They got angry and beat up those girls.
The girls were sad, so they went and complained to women’s rights supporter Sonam Kapoor.
Sonam Kapoor decided to do something about it. She decided to protest against this in her own way. Her heart was bleeding at the sight of the women who were beaten up by Pramod Muthalik’s men.
Sonam Kapoor decided to activise.She kidnapped a white pigeon and put the pigeon on her head and then she started singing a song called MASAKALI.To this song she performed the ancient Indian dance of KATHAKALI.
By singing masakali and doing Kathakali with a pigeon on her head she has shown the country that women’s rights are important. Sonam Kapoor has also shown that the citizens of India can protest against things that require protesting not by lighting candles and marching from Point A to Point B with banners but dancing with pigeons on our heads.
Because only if we dance with pigeons on our heads can justice be achieved and can we truly be called PIGEONHEADS.
Somebody who wants to be a PIGEON HEAD is NDTV journalist Barkha Dutt.
There is a man sitting in the Netherlands called Chyetanya Kunte who writes a blog. On this blog he wrote something about Barkha Dutt. Barkha Dutt got angry after reading what Kunte wrote and decided to put pressure on Kunte to withdraw his post.Kunte withdrew the post and apologized to Barkha.
Now I don’t understand this .Barkha Dutt is the same woman who keeps shouting “Freedom Of Speech And Expression” and “The Government Does Not Have The Right To Censor People”.
So when Barkha writes something anti-government and uses words like ‘liberal’ and ‘self regulation’ she gets a Padmashri but when Kunte writes something similar he gets threatened by NDTV’s lawyers !!
The thing is that just because Kunte withdrew his post because of Barkha pressure, doesn’t mean the rest of the world can’t see what he actually wrote. Barkha can pressure Kunte but not me; I’m the world’s 1062nd richest man. I can crack NDTV in 1 single trading session if I want.
Therefore this humble stock broker will now show the world the very document suppressed by Barkha Dutt and her lawyers:
“Shoddy journalism
Date: Thursday, 27 Nov 2008 20:39
Appalling journalism. Absolute blasphemy! As I watch the news from home, I am dumbfounded to see Barkha Dutt of NDTV break every rule of ethical journalism in reporting the Mumbai mayhem. Take a couple of instances for example:
- In one instance she asks a husband about his wife being stuck, or held as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last hiding. Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not censoring this bit of information.
- In another instance, a General sort of suggests that there were no hostages in Oberoi Trident. (Clever.) Then, our heroine of revelations calls the head of Oberoi, and the idiot confirms a possibility of 100 or more people still in the building. Hello! Guys with guns, you’ve got more goats to slay. But before you do, you’ve got to love NDTV and more precisely Ms. Dutt. She’s your official intelligence from Ground zero.
You do not need to be a journalist to understand the basic premise of ethics, which starts with protecting victims first; and that is done by avoiding key information from being aired publicly—such as but not limited to revealing the number of possible people still in, the hideouts of hostages and people stuck in buildings.
Imagine you’re one of those sorry souls holed-up in one of those bathrooms, or kitchens. A journalist pulls your kin outside and asks about your last contact on national television, and other prying details. In a bout of emotion, if they happen to reveal more details, you are sure going to hell. Remember these are hotels, where in all likelihood, every room has a television. All a terrorist needs to do is listen to Ms. Barkha Dutt’s latest achievement of extracting information from your relative, based on your last phone-call or SMS. And you’re shafted—courtesy NDTV.1
If the terrorists don’t manage to shove you in to your private hell, the journalists on national television will certainly help you get there. One of the criticisms about Barkha Dutt on Wikipedia reads thus:
During the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts, thus causing Indian casualties.
Looks like the idiot journalist has not learnt anything since then. I join a number of bloggers pleading her to shut the f⋅⋅⋅ up.
Update: In fact, I am willing to believe that Hemant Karkare died because these channels showed him prepare (wear helmet, wear bullet-proof vest.) in excruciating detail live on television. And they in turn targeted him where he was unprotected. The brave officer succumbed to bullets in the neck.
Update 2 [28.Nov.2300hrs]: Better sense appears to have prevailed in the latter half of today—either willfully, or by Government coercion2, and Live broadcasts are now being limited to non-action zones. Telecast of action troops and strategy is now not being aired live. Thank goodness for that.
Update 3 [30.Nov.1900hrs]: DNA India reports about a UK couple ask media to report carefully:
The terrorists were watching CNN and they came down from where they were in a lift after hearing about us on TV.
- Oh, they have a lame excuse pronouncing that the television connections in the hotel has been cut, and therefore it is okay to broadcast. Like hell!
- I’m thinking coercion, since Government has just denied renewing CNN’s rights to air video today; must’ve have surely worked as a rude warning to the Indian domestic channels.”
Now that the document is out Barkha might get angry. She might conduct a special ‘WE THE PEOPLE’ to discuss how I should be punished.
But I will be watching Sonam Kapoor hosting ‘WE THE PIGEONS’.







70 POST a COMMENT:
Rj,
Thanks for posting this article. She is a torture to watch. Hope another Dutt in younger generation does not follow the same. Many Sonam Kapoor in film industry can be tolerated not vice versa. NDTV should decide its own fate, it will not see the future if it decides late. She does not have a heart for India and weak enough to accept her own mistakes.
Thanks
DPM
Hilarious :)
Hats off on the courage to publish the kunte article rather than linking to it.
And sorry to hear that u fell from being 1001th rich man to 1062nd position ;)
i recently started reading your blog (in fact, this is the first one i am reading 'live') and became a subscriber. You have a good hand on humor. keep it up.
Your attempt to bring to light the various important public issues is indeed successful..
keep it up..
n keep writin :)

RJ,
Brave move. Thanks for publishing the article.
Forgot to mention, but you must be knowing NDTV posted loss of 120CR on Q3. No wonder the reporting had so much sleeze in it to attract more eyeballs.. to imporve there earnings...
I have always like the way you bring out issues in a comical way. What you wrote about Barkha is true. In fact I would go ahead and say that since the attacks were done on Taj and Oberoi, the so called hangouts of rich and famous of India, the incident got so much of support from so called Pg3 people (Shobha De). My question is, if it had only happened at CST, would Barkha be still covering it personally.
rakeshsir,
Great to see you taking position on Burkha issue. She is leading pseudo journo of India.
It will be great if you show conviction and take position in coming election 2009. Its opportunity to make real difference. Only people like you have circle of influence big enough to really make impact.
Well done and wonderful !!
Why don't people like you get committed to setting up a news channel. This is indeed a request after I read you as 1062nd richest man :) Indian crowds are vexed seeing the stereotypic pseudo-sickular Media.
Please continue and give a thought on setting up a TV channel.
Thanks
Ah! You're finally commenting on a problem afflicting other bloggers in addition to the usual current events commentary. Hats off to you!
Is it true that Barka married to a Kashmiri Muslim?
hey RJ awesome post.. somnething that i always wanted to write on my blog but hats off to you for showing the real side of barkha dutt...
Let me tell you another great reporting secret of her's although i cant disclose my source but trust me with this, remember the kargil war an great min by min reporting but BD well the truth is she was at one place only but kept on changing her camera angle and positions and telling the world that now am in poonch and now am in kargil or drass..
Rakeshji,
Thanks for speaking loud on the inappropriate, idiotic and unnecessarily-sensational media coverage on the Mumbai terrorist attack. Our channels like NDTV and Times Now stooped to far below some of those stupid American regional channels during those days. I was particularly frustrated with Arnab Goswamy as well when they violated the police' plea not to show close live shots and he cribbed even more when live transmission in Mumbai was taken offline.
New generation sensational journalists like Barkha and Arnab are only good to shout for the hypocritical needs of the upper middle class' and Page 3 people. I haven't heard them fighting for the common man's cause anytime. Forget Times Now, it's all about tabloid kind and yellow journalism but I expected better way of serving news from Prannoy Roy's channel.
(Once Nalini Singh, the famous journalist of Doordarshan was invited by Barkha on her show. Nalini had criticized the journalism of today's channels then)
Thanks for bringing out this serious matter wrapped in your humour sense!
Rakeshji, I followed a link from another blog to get here and I am very glad indeed to have found it. Excellent take on the freedom of speech and the mockery of the same by Barkha Dutt.
I can't help but wonder if she's a lesbian. No offense meant, that's just my theory.
An awesome article... truly believe it is true in every sense...Keep it goin!!
Very witty post!
May you continue to remain the God of the Market if that is what you choose.
Great...Kudos to you for publishing the censored post...Let the Burkha Dutts of this world know that "we the people" are not going to keep quiet. Instead, we will put them in same place as politicians.
Hey. why doesn't a rival channel pick this story up and show it on prime time... ?
Hilarious indeed, RJ. Do come over and read my latest post which is a humorous take on the TV reporting business also known as "Breaking News".
SirG,
Look at your TRP's they are soaring....
Any News is Good News if they can get better TRP's.

they also call themselves KAPOOR.

How do you know Masakali is a strong Indian woman? (kabutari)
NDTV - New Delhi TV and DELHI 6 ?
Is this in BLog Promotion SirG?
Vinod Agarwal - Learning the Business of promotion...
I subscribe to every word you have written...i think the lady inspired a whole race of sensational and mostly irresponsible journalists who are now running some horrible news channels. I don't know if you get time off your investing to watch these channels...some try to find a secret cave in some random place...some talk about police commissioner's lost dog...etc. etc..
My head hangs in shame when I see this deterioration in tv journalism...because i remember my dad telling me as a kid that i should watch news channels (doordarshan etc.) for general awareness and to strengthen my command over language...i just wonder if i should ask our next generation to watch news...or may be i should ensure that they don't watch such ROT...complete u turn in a generation's time...
Nis
I love you for this ....
Remember the story of the Jewish Guru Hilel, who once asked by a prince to summarize the whole torah when he stands in one leg, who said the following. Do unto others what you want others to do to you and the rest is just commentary. In other words Hypocrisy is the only evil.
And there are only few people in the world who remains original despite all the rot formal education. You seem one and to add glory you are rich.
These men and women in media, bureaucracy, corporate world who looks, talks and acts artificial need to be unmasked and shown a picture of their own hypocrite self.
Special congrats for you and wish you live long enough to unmask these hypocrites.
Pls. Could you please uncover the investors in NDTV, just to know the interests behind the channel activities.

Dear RJ
A wonderful write-up.. I hope from now onwards these p-journos will just restrict themselves to report and analyse instead of giving prejudicial judgements. You are doing a great public service. Hats off to you.
Ram
She doesn't ever write anything really anti-government, Rakesh. Why would she patao the Padma Sri if she did?
But some times to the untrained eye, it may seem like she said something remotely resembling anti-establishment. Self-proclaimed liberals have a way with the words, you know. But on closer examination of those words, you'll figure out that she's laughing her way to a government (ie nationalized) bank.
Dear Mr Jhunjhunwala,
I always viewed you with...well, I'm scared that i will also be served a lawyer's notice. so i will use the word "trepidation", because you were a staple on NDTV talk shows. but after reading you "Pigeon Heads" post and your views on the Barkhs Dutt/Kunte episode, i will watch/listen to/read you with new respect. Thank you for this
hats off to you Rakesh, I was also planing to write similar post on my blog but see i have to be somewhere around 1061 in Forbes list to vomit all that i have inside my mind. uuuhahk

People please be careful.
Barkha aunty will not like this.What if she accuses all of you of 'shoddy commenting' on WE THE PEOPLE/PIGEONS.
stuff that b*i*t*c*h with burning charcoal...I will be relieved from her pathetic shrilling hysteria.
We need a strong person like you to fight hypocrate media... and I believe you will take this movement forward agressivley at any cost.
Hats off to you.
RJ is the King!
Amazing! Unbelievable! Fantastic! Thank God for persons like you!! We the People are behind you (lol)! Chak de Jhunjhunwala. What does Pranoy Roy has to say?????????
Good Blogg Rakesh... The statement you made & I quote '"I can crack NDTV in 1 single trading session if I want." was powerful, encouraging and if it is just not rhetorical than very impressive. The question is are you going do it ? One poster mentioned NDTV posting 120 Cr loss...must sound good to you...snap few shares up and Pranoy Roy will have a shiver in the spine...Why not buy thousands and re-sale in batches 100s to individuals who have concerns with Burkha Didi and make a living group that would control NDTV... Owning 100 share would not be for profit but protest..I have said earlier that we talk too much, have lot of opinions, we debate like mad..'Argumentative' but when it come to action we fail...But will you prove this wrong & act ? My support is fully available...We all support you..You can as you have power and intent and knowledge...and after all you are 1062th richest men in the world...Please do it...let it set a good example for Indian Journalists that be unbiased and neutral or go Burkha Didi way...Just Do it...God Bless

RJ ji,
Now that NDTV has threatened a fellow blogger and all bloggers and their supporters have decided to boycott NDTV and its advertisers, you also kindly pls don't appear on any of the shows on the NDTV Network. I hope you will accept this humble request.
I was really unaware with these happenings ... I was looking for some hilarious pigeon head act ... and end up knowing another "Bark-a Duck" bad act ...
Can we export her to some neighboring country, so that way she can be more helpful ...
I appreciate your effort of enlightening us.
Keep up the Good Work !!
What a post! Sir, I'm a fan and have just taken a pledge to read your blog regularly. And one more thing, please crack the pigeonheads before they come back with a report linking you to recent Satyam fiasco.
Is this the real RJ?

Hey Colton,
Man you have a great sense of humour. Hahahaha........keep it coming buddy!!!
I burst out laughing every time someone calls your Sir.....
How are stuff in Bangalore btw?
this is indeed a real good post..i like ur way to put comical element to such an important issue which wud otherwise have been ignored..
The last thing that the terrorists expected was Indians fighting amongst themselves, congratulations to all of us at every section of life.Somebody let the cat out amongst the pigeons, not prizes for guessing the cat right.What happened was sad, every elementary rules was broken "not for the good though".Pseudo nationalism raised it head and a few were awarded for their lives(not for the good work they ever did) and then we forgot everything. My apologies we did better, fought amongst ourselves will somebody has been laughing all the while. While we the good citizens of the country were busy fighting, we have a new bunch of terrorists "Ram Sena" and now the BJP 'wants to make the Ram Mandir and issue again'.Poor them just got better "were they brain dead for soo long".Thank the 26/11 terrorists while they gave us a reason to unite "though very expensive for the lives lost", our own soo called friends are giving us a reason to fight "kill, die...if at all anybody remembers Godhra and many more".I'm sure Mother India must be crying tears of blood at our pathetic state.
You sir, deserve some sort of award to add to your already biblically long list of achievements for this blog.
Absolutely love the way your write and touch upon some fairly important issues in society.
Wishing you the very best.
Your newest fan and subscriber,

You're funny.
Good tat u have posted it here...she needs to be taught a lesson....!!
Thanks Rakesh for this post,
Can we also start a " khaki Chaddi campaign " targeting NDTV for their continued support towards freedom of expression.
As Rakeshji's Personal Assistant,I have been told to inform all of you that "all of you make reasonable suggestions-except the charcoal stuffing anonymous person".
Your Queries are being processed by one of the companies that Rakeshji has invested in and they shall be responded to after thorough consideration and review.
Thanking you,
Rajiv Agarwal(Mini-J)
Thanks for being candid. NDTV as a channel is becoming more and more like AAJTAK....agar news sansanikhez nahin toh woh newz hi nahin and during 26/11 a lot of people just wanted to slap Barkha Dutt for asking the hostages family..."so wha t are you feeling right now", "what is going through your mind".
Loved your article.
Many Thanks RJ for re-posting the Kunte article. Its high time for us to voice against this pseudo media activism...
lets make it political now(a new twist)....
let 2nd,3rd and etc fronts( i m not sure how many) make this an election issue ...
padmashree to a hypocrat/bigmouth like her ....
hahahahaha
Take that Barkha, you bitch. Long have we put up with her 'liberal' and 'elite' drivel. Enough of this bull shit. Padmashree.. my ass.
Dear RJ
Great post and courage!
You are person with wide coverage and audience...I thought I put forth this idea for you and others here to think about having a "Media Commission" in India, with similar autonomy and quasi-judicial powers like the Election Commission.
I believe that genuine News channels need to be protected while commercial and entertainment channels need to be taxed high!
We need a constitutional rating agency (like you have in your finance domain) that has representation from civil society, parliament, judiciary, media houses and journalist unions that form a "Media commission".
All this talk of self regulation and restraint...will work due to agency issues.
A few handful media tycoons cannot be allowed to run the news space coz that will destroy this country.
Thank You for posting this. It says everything I wanted to. Down with Barkha. Opps am I in trouble now?
The coal dude seriously has a point.
Hello Rakeshji
Though your post on Barkha Dutt has been pretty old, I happened to read it today and I must say that I appreciate your taking a stand. I had also liked your telling a group of German magazine publishers to shut up and listen to you at a Radio Club party, which I too had attended. On both occasions, I have seen you becoming bluntly vocal about what you believed was right.
On other issues that you have referred to, I think what finally is required is social action. Though Naxalites' actions are completely unlawful, they are at least doing something in India's hinterland. Post 26/11 too, we urban dwellers have resigned to our fates. On power bills in Mumbai, the people who took the brunt of police lathis were from the slums. Whereas, the majority is those who sit at home and just crib. We need to do a hell lot more if any meaningful result has to be achieved.
Who is Barkha Dutt? Oh, that one who was reporting Kargil war live!!!
Interesting... RJ, yes you are right, they can't touch you, u r God of small things :)
Good one...

I stumbled on your blog thanks to my brother who is three years older than my 80+
I should sound like a rip-van-winkle stirred from his slumber all these months
I thought you had one-dimensional focus - only the stick market
I am amazed at the spectrum of your interests, the sweep of your knowledge and the biting sarcasm and devil-may-care attitude you sport
The media hasn't changed in all these two centuries
It was Anthony Trollope who said the media men think they were a class by themselves and defame, denigrate, disparage, demonize any public figure with the certitude of the Supreme One
Why do the anchors scream and gesticulate? Why do they forget we seek news not views from them?
Even the fearsome Tim Sebastian, the Hard Talk anchor in the BBC, who could make the interlocutors wither and shrivel with one barbed sentence, did not shout. His tone was soft and menacing because of that
Our media-mavens act like clowns and desi villains or our desi-drivers who can drive their cars with only the horns – steering wheel are supernumerary for them
Views can come from the guests who are more often than not interrupted in mid-sentence
If I as a guest were to be treated like this I would walk out under the blazing TV lights. Why do our professors, ministers, senior bureaucrats, journalists take it lying down?
Self regulation by media! Ha ha!! With the senior editors and founders of the caliber we have. It's a cruel joke
Politicians are s..t scared since each has a few skeletons in his/her cupboard which may come tumbling down if they antagonize the blackmailing muscle-twisting media men/women
How do you find time to write the blog with your focus on the market - think of the parallel-processing miracle of the human brain?
Jai ho! RJ

Our media-mavens act like clowns and desi villains or our desi-drivers who can drive their cars with only the horns – steering wheel are supernumerary for them
Views can come from the guests who are more often than not interrupted in mid-sentence
If I as a guest were to be treated like this I would walk out under the blazing TV lights. Why do our professors, ministers, senior bureaucrats, journalists take it lying down?
Self regulation by media! Ha ha!! With the senior editors and founders of the caliber we have. It's a cruel joke
Politicians are s..t scared since each has a few skeletons in his/her cupboard which may come tumbling down if they antagonize the blackmailing muscle-twisting media men/women
How do you find time to write the blog with your focus on the market - think of the parallel-processing miracle of the human brain?

I stumbled on your blog thanks to my brother who is three years older than my 80+
I should sound like a rip-van-winkle stirred from his slumber all these months
I thought you had one-dimensional focus - only the stick market
I am amazed at the spectrum of your interests, the sweep of your knowledge and the biting sarcasm and devil-may-care attitude you sport
The media hasn't changed in all these two centuries
It was Anthony Trollope who said the media men think they were a class by themselves and defame, denigrate, disparage, demonize any public figure with the certitude of the Supreme One

I was there.
My family neighbors and friends spent three harrowing days watching these guys air the most ridiculous of news and then when the whole thing was over they came banging on my door to ask how we felt.
It is high time we punish these channels.
i am sure they have a lot planned for the first anniversary of the attacks.
Barkha Dutt talks about rights? All she knows is right to make money at the cost of sensational journalism.
See the pictures from my home next to Nariman House which was published by rediff.com soon after the mayhem.
