Watching the TV yesterday with my 2 year old, I was taken aback by the amount of violence that makes into the News programs. Riots, lathi charges, angry mobs lynching criminals in the court, etc – visual evidence making it too easily into the TV programs. And the ubiquitous camera phones have made reporting even more visual.

No wonder I too prefer to read the newspaper back to front – sports/cartoons to page one items. And I definetely want to save my kid (as much as possible) from the unnecessary exposure to violence. But then, thatz the way the world is ..right? How long will one stay away from reality?
