Screech Match

 Generally i prefer not to watch the multiple reality shows on the t.v. Every thing and everyone in such extravaganzas appear  made-up in every sense of the term, fake and false. They give one an awfully yucky feel. Remember how two top candidates in a music show (actually a contradiction in terms! But, these days, that is the reality and the show!) were linked up, et al, for the trite/tight TRP. Earlier such a trick was the 'birth-write' of Bollywood bonanzas. Unfortunately, now it has percolated down to most all fields, public or private, entertainment or education!

What irritates me the most about all that exhibitionism is the screeching involved therein, too close to our ears to tolerate! All of them, hosts, guests, contestants are screeching in high-pitched falsettos. It is here that one finds the source of all the possible noise pollution as all of them are screeching in to hyper-sensitive mikes. 

Compared with these attacks on our ears in our own drawing rooms, with our own devices, and within the four walls of our own homes, the "walls" at every public event are nothing much to tolerate. 

This evening i suffered the misfortune of listening to such disturbing decibels because I made the mistake of believing the tagline of a promo. Hence the sufferance of listening to a screech-match! Not only the host and the guest of this premiere were screeching, but the guest's mother, too, added her mite, eh, mike to the cacophony.

People, in brief, seem always to forget the difference between child-like and childish. Given such 'janta', can the politicians be far behind? Except for, may be, just one or two leaders, most all speakers these days are terribly screechy in every possible way.

It is in such moments that you actually hate your childhood hero, Thomas Alva Edison, and wish that all his attempts at enhancing, amplifying sound, and carrying it across wave lengths had suffered the fate of his famed failures! How lucky indeed, you reluctantly realise due to such "all sound signifying nothing" scenarios,  was Beethoven, that master of music, who started going deaf, and thus was saved from fake exhibitions of his great oeuvre!

Pratima@ Sound without much sense/makes the very ambience tense!
