Saas-Bahu serials, reality shows and T-20 cricket competing for TRPs might be a thing of the past. If you check the statistics for the last one week, Im sure the top 10 "most-watched" programmes would be televison channels; bringing to our drawing rooms "ball by ball" account of the terror attacks in Mumbai. Now after 60 odd hours of gun battle its time for analysis, more analysis and even more analysis.....Corporate India's leading businessmen, who till yesterday were discussing about the interest rate cuts that they badly needed to give a boost to the economy are today discussing ways and means to handle terror! Not to mention socialities, Page 3 celebrities...everone has their own solution............While all of this was going on, there was one anchor who stood out for me. Always presenting his stories in a crisp, concise manner, no hype, hooplah, no raising of his voice..Someone who keeps it simple and yet makes it very receptable - Srinivasan Jain (Vasu) of NDTV. His style of journalism and news broadcasting is definitely a lesson for the others.
