Daily Routine -
Daughter(As soon as she gets up in the morning):
Mumma Doraemon..lagao na plz..
Mom: No Beta subah subah nahin....go and brush your teeth , you will get late for school.
Daughter: Doraemon Doraemon Doraemon.
Mom finally gives in ...and the blue cat comes back again on the television with his dumb freind Nobita..
Don't our kids deserve much more than the repeated telecasts of these transalated Japanese/Chinese series.And to add to that I am never able to understand how could we keep on showing a film to our kids day in and day out...whose hero is a lazy failure who has this robot cat which has short cut for everything in life....
I feel it is a slow poison overpowering our kids psychology...there is no idol ..no role model...that shows them how hard work pays off....all they know is that doraemon gadget....Is there nobody in this country to sensor the content of kids channel....or are they all also sleeping like Nobita?
I remember growing up we were never allowed television on early mornings except on few Sundays...but did we not enjoy more then...??
I would so look forward to the monthly kids magazines that the newspaper wala will throw in on the 1st of each month...Champak, Chandamama, Suman Saurabh..then we even had comic books for Ramayan/Mahabharat/Panchatantra/Chacha Chowdhary/ Billu/ Pinky as well ...
But none of them meant sitting endlessly infront of the idiot box.
Probably it is a easy way out for us as well....khud facebook check karna hai to bacche ko doraemon dikha do...
Thoda effort to apne side se bhi lagana hai yaar....atleast I need to do that ....well before I am also Doraemonised...

ReplyDeleteI am sure this is what happens in most of the houses which has kids with 6 to 10 years of age. I completely agree that there should be something much better for the kids. Some of my friends have remove pogo and cartoon networks from their package and keep only disney. It seems some of them have got good results. So I would highly recommend that you try this. In fact, when you went to US, you should have not taken those channels where Doremon comes.
