			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-539" title="Veena Malik Loving Ashmit Patel on Bigg Boss" src="http://www.talalmasood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/veena-malik1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />On 22nd January 2011, Veena Malik appeared on Express News TV Channel&#8217;s talk show Front Line with Kamran Shahid after returning back to Pakistan from India. Veena Malik took part in the most sensational reality TV show of India &#8216;Bigg Boss&#8217;. Unfortunately Mufti Saab who was on a live video feed could not defend himself against the furious Veena Malik. Veena&#8217;s only point was to stop all the other bad things happening in the country, then come to Veena Malik. I agree, there must be a lot of wrong things happening, but that does not mean that you start doing it too, and then say, &#8220;stop them first then talk about me&#8221;.</p>
<p><span id="more-537"></span></p>
<p>What she had done there in India is seen by the whole sub-continent if not the whole world. Indian are making fun of her too, and she thinks they are praising her. Many of you who had seen Bigg Boss would have heard the talks of Rishant and Ashmit Patel too about Veena. They too were saying that whoever&#8217;s girlfriend she was, was a brave man. At one point in the show Veena said something which really closed all the doors of discussion.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Veena said: &#8220;I&#8217;m an entertainer, and looking good is my right&#8221;.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I guess, she cleared in her first statement that she is an entertainer. I wish I could use the desi word for &#8216;entertainer&#8217;, but unfortunately I can&#8217;t. So now, it does not matter if she do her entertainment business locally or internationally. Mufti Saab, who couldn&#8217;t defend himself was <strong>asking her that can she look at all those scenes with her brother or son</strong>. I would like to reply here to Mufti Saab, that Sir, there are certain people in every society, where a father, brother, mother all belong to one business. I hope you all can understand what I meant by that. So these things don&#8217;t matter to such kind of people.</p>
<p>All I know is we should think and say, something bad as bad. There is no definition of &#8216;BAD&#8217;, bad is just bad. <em><strong>Hum logo mein Ahsaas khatam hota jaa raha hai</strong></em>.</p>
<h3><strong>*UPDATE*<br />
Veena Malik became the first Pakistani to hit the Trendy Topics on twitter on 22nd January 2011.</strong></h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-26" title="Pakistani News TV Channels" src="http://www.talalmasood.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pak-new-channels-237x300.jpg" alt="Pakistani News TV Channels" width="237" height="300" />As you all know I&#8217;m from Pakistan so I would like to have a little discussion about the Pakistani TV Channels. After the millennium (year 2000) the government started allowing private companies to open TV channels on a very nominal licensing fee. Before year 2000 there were only 3 TV Channels working in Pakistan namely, PTV, NTM (aka STN) and PTV 2. There was no concept of Cable TV system and the TV Channels were broadcast over the wireless wavelength signals which were caught by the TV Aerials (Antennas). As soon as the Nawaz Sharif government got over in 1999 the new CEO of Pakistan, Gerenal Pervaiz Musharraf started giving licenses to private companies to open new TV Channel.</p>
<p>The cable system was introduced and the avalanche of TV channels started. I can bet even in USA which is the first world country people don&#8217;t get that many channels which we Pakistanis get. There are over 80 Channels now on regular given by every TV Cable Operator (excluding Indian TV Channels). Some TV Cable Operators also give Indian and other nasty TV channels so on average there are 90+ TV channels in each home of Pakistan. And the most amazing thing which I am going to tell you now is, there are 115 Pakistani TV Channels on air. Some of the TV Channels are local area based channels like City42 which is only broadcasted in the city of Lahore. Out of these 115 TV Channels 25 channels are NEWS Channel.</p>
<p><span id="more-25"></span>Come on people! Pakistan&#8217;s population is around 170million estimated in year 2008. Out of these 170million about 120million are TV viewers. I just have one mysterious question to ask from the government. What are you showing to these 120million people of Pakistan? Believe me! in 90% of the home across Pakistan people don&#8217;t watch entertainment channels anymore. A daily on average 12hours to 14hours viewership is of the NEWS channels. The people of Pakistan were already depressed since last 60 years and now we found a real good mass communication platform to haunt the terror among the countrymen.</p>
<p>Geo News, City 42, Apna News, Business Plus, Channel 5, PTV, Express News, Express 24/7, Din News, Royal News, Dawn News, KTN News, Duniya News, CNBC Pakistan, Khyber News, Samaa TV, Singh TV News, iTV News, Waqat News are the ones I could remember and list right now. A friend of mine studying Mass Communication told me that there are 52 pending channels which are in the process and the license has been granted to them. Out of those upcoming 52 TV Channels 27 are NEW Channels. I can just say &#8220;HOLY SHIT&#8221;. Don&#8217;t we have anything else to do? Can&#8217;t you people put up some other kind of TV Channels? Who the hell you want to show all these news? A 120million TV viewers with 75 Damn NEW TV Channels. Does this make any sense? Pakistan&#8217;s younger generation is getting polluted mentally with a hatred for their own country just because of these News channels. 24/7 all the news channel are putting Talk Shows criticizing on everything they get their hands on including politics, daily life, men, women, children, education system, blah blah blah. Stop Talking &#8211; You are not motivating the public instead you are demotivating them.</p>
