Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao - New Reality Show on Sony - A Review by Deepika
A new television Reality show was recently launched, called as “Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao”
As usual, this show also has some TV Artists and some low-grade personalities, like Palak from MTV Roadies, Shweta Tiwari, Chetan Hansraj, Aman Verma and others.
Shweta Tiwari comes in tears soon enough. She doesn’t want to sleep on the bed that’s on the outer circle of the camp. She’s scared, you see. Later, she has a hissy fit. “I want salt. I want salt. I want salt. I want s-a-l-t.”
Pop singer Anaida fought with most participants on the first day show. Anaida’s whining is one notch higher, though. “This modesty smock is see through!” She’s as irritating as the low buzz of a malicious Malaysian insect.
The strange collection of male participants stay calm and try to offset all these screeching women. Akash Deep Saigal is the self-appointed evangelist who believes “it’s great if you start the day together.” Whatever.
There’s brief excitement when contestant Chetan Hansraj is strapped to a wooden wheel that rotates. He must dig out the yellow stars from tubs containing eels; more than 200 leeches and slime; 6kg maggots; 100kg or more of fish guts; and a variety of snakes.
Palak is as always, dyeing for Camera footage, so she is easily seen coming infront of camera for no reasons at all.
The show overall looks like Big Boss, just the location is different.
Mini Mathur, the anchor looks the best, even better than all participants, she doesn’t look of her age at all.
On one channel you see Rakhi Sawant’s prime-time swayamvar and on the other you see such jungle reality show - Its time to switch off from such Reality Shows, I think Laughter Challenges were better!
Off-Season Discount Sales
Whenever the Off-Season Discount Sales are On in the markets, we all feel like going to the market at the earliest and buying most of the things.
Some shops give 20% Off where as, there are some which give as high as 80% Off !
We just keep on picking the stuff, from one shop to another, as if we were in a panic situation.
After the Sales are over though, we do realise, was it worth it ?
There are often things that we never need or need the least, but because of Sales in the market, we end up buying such Unrequired things.
But when I think from the other point of view, if there were no Discount Sales in the market, we may have never bought these items in our life.
In a nutshell:
For Customers, its a kind of loss cum profit situation.
For shopkeepers, this is ofcourse a Win-Win situation. They sell items in bulk, and even that stuff which otherwise was never even looked upon by their customers.
I personally feel we do end up spending extra money at Sale. We should rather try to stay at home instead of running in the markets. Buy only if - the thing is of utmost importance and a necessity for you, Or if you are getting a thing at a cheap price which you otherwise had to buy at a higher price. Beware - no shopkeeper is a fool. The items which they give you at 50% price may be the same items which otherwise were available at same price even without the Sale.
So next time you go to a Sale in the market, just remember Deepika’s suggestion and ask yourself …. Do I really need it and is this really worth it ?

NA AANA IS DESH MEIN LAADO
In the serial NA AANA IS DESH MEIN LAADO, the concept is when the woman gives the birth to the baby girl, the woman is called as unlucky. The baby girl is given death immediately by giving her crushed glass with water and she is buried under the earth. There are so many places in India, where such type of incidents is taking place even today.
In the serial MERE GHAR AAYI EK NANHI PARI, the girl has taken birth, and she has been titled as GHAR KI LAXMI. SHE HAS BEEN GIVEN A GREAT PRIDE.
These both serials are running successfully and becoming popular day by day.
MERE GHAR AAYI EK NANHI PARI
Thanks to channel COLORS which has given such good serials named as BALIKA VADHU, JAANE KYA BAAT HUI, NA AANA IS DESH MEIN LAADO, MERE GHAR AAYE EK NANHE PARI, UTTARAN, I think, these serials can help to change the FACE OF INDIA.
