How strange it was! One remembers that in the past entertainment programmes used to be shown on TV in between the rather serious election result announcements to provide the viewers with comic relief. Humor-laden mushairas, skits, parodies and spoofs used to keep the audience emotionally unfettered from the tense analytical discussions. This time round there were none. Is this also an indication (or vindication) of the fact that now current affairs have completely overtaken entertainment programming and that current affairs’ is a bigger industry than entertainment? If that’s the case then one doesn’t know how to react to it.
