All for a TV show...


Charles Osgood said "Babies are always more trouble than you thought..."
except here we are,  watching babies in much more trouble than they thought they'd get into...



NDTV Imagine seems to be leaning on Reality shows to keep itself top on the TRP rating list... After Rakhi ka Swayamwar (which i followed religiously per-episode), its Pati, Patni aur Woh... With NGO's slamming charges of Violation of Child Rights, the Show is all over the news. Obviously other channels are hyping it up well but NDTV Imagine is strongly defending its program. They say the parents of these children are watching the way their babies are being treated continously through cameras... and at any point during the show they're allowed to back off if they think their is any sort of slack behavior while dealing with the child...


The only comment i 'd make is .. the parents are really inconsiderate and heartless to let their babies(who can't speak for themselves), be tortured day and night, in this manner by couples who 
a) know nothing about parenting
b) who are not even remotely related to the babies
c) who are only doing this for fame


It's not even like letting a baby sitter take care of your child for 2-3 hours.. this is making them stay with a new set of parents who don't really want to take care of them except for want of winning the title of a reality show... Kalyug indeed...

Pati, Patni or Woh will be divided into five stages:



Pregnancy: The women wear empathy bellies similar to that of a woman who is 8 months pregnant and  attend pre-natal classes.

Infants: A new born baby handed over to the couples who will have to take care of it’s needs, including feeding, changing nappies and erratic sleep schedules.
Toddlers: with their own set of demands and tantrums
Pre-teen and Teenagers: rebellious youngsters who need to be disciplined without being alienated.

The Elderly:The couples will need to deal with elderly in the family..
