Eloping Girls – Vanitha Blames Mobiles Phones

Vanitha is back with another emotional and touchy story, this time its eloping girls and the blame goes to mobiles phones. Looks like Vanitha is pissed at mobile phone companies, for not advertising in it. I cant think of any other logical reason as to why Manorama and Vanitha is doing so much of propaganda against mobile phones.

This time also the pattern is the same. Touching stories, emotional words, and scary interpretations. According to them the flesh trade in India is worth 43,000 Crores an year. I didnt know that all the pimps were submitting their annual business report to Vanitha.

The most disgusting thing is that they are blaming mobile phones for girls eloping from their homes. According to them – “Everything starts from a missed call”. How about rewriting the book of genesis ?

Other women’s magazine are also copying the Vanitha style. Latest GrahaLakhsmi says that children are getting away from their parents and are having a secret world of their own. They also have many stories to support their arguments. Looks like they also mastered the art.

There is nothing to fear more than the fear itself. And Manorama is using the fear of unknown or fear of something that has happened like one in a million for making a buck – Domestic Avalanche

Other Nonsense from Vanitha and Malayala Manorama

Vanitha Magazine, Internet and the Mobile phone

I recently read a long feature about the harm caused by mobile phones in “Vanitha Magazine“, a local womens magazine which is very popular. The main argument was that students are using mobile phone to view and share porn. The article is written in such a manner that no parent will dare to buy a mobile phone for his son or daughter.

This is not the first time that Vanitha magazine is writing against mobile phones. A few years back, it was the cable TV and then the internet and now mobile phones. I know many families who decided no to buy a computer or take an internet connection just because of some stupid article in Vanitha or the newspapers.

All the features that came in Vanitha about the internet or the mobile phone had many touching stories in them, supposed to be true, where some boys are using mobile phones to share porn, or some kid who lost interest in studies because of the internet.

Some schools and colleges have banned mobile phones. I still dont A college student is expected to be the responsible head of a family after a few years. If we cant trust him/her with a mobile phone, how are we going to trust him/her with a family.

We all make mistakes. Its very true that the internet and mobile phones can be misused. We can misuse cable TV, anyone watched MTV grind or the FTV ? Why are we not banning cable TV ? Id say its double standards cos we all want to watch the silly serials where every husband has a secret affair and all the young girls are roaming around with other boys.

Vanitha dont have the moral right to speak about the harm caused by phones or the internet, cos they are the part of a Malayala Manorama group, which owns another “M” publication which publishes all sorts of tingling stories. Just take a look at the drawings in those magazines and you will understand what I am saying.

Why dont they review the effects of such stories and drawings on the youth in Kerala, rather than fighting a war against the technologies that are feeding millions and have changed the world so much.
