Today I had the displeasure of witnessing the height of irrelevance on TV. On C-Bangalore, a TV channel run by our cable operator, there was a show about numerology. It went something like this:
There's a tamil-speaking numerology "expert" who doesn't understand a word of kannaDa. There's a kannaDa-speaking woman who is sitting by his side and taking phonecalls from people with all sorts of ignorance about what's controlling their lives and what not. kannaDigaru call and start asking questions in kannaDa. The woman mediates (but sometimes you'll be puzzled into thinking she's the numerologist) until the tamilian takes over. Then this tamil "expert", in front of the whole of beMgaLooru, answers in tamil! The foolish callers, even though they don't understand head or tail of what he's speaking, try to understand it and reply in broken tamil!
And what's the braHmavidye being discussed? The "expert" fool tries to convince the caller that if it weren't for a missing "a" in his name (written in roman letters, mind you), he'd be minting money!
The following irrelevancies stare at your face, even if we grant (only for argument's sake, mind you,) that numerology is a science:
1) kannaDiga caller, tamilian "expert" talking in tamil mixed with butler-english.
2) The fact that this is happening in beMgaLooru
3) The discussion is about names written in a highly irrelevant script, viz., roman (this single point suffices to overthrow the tamilian's "science")
4) The kannaDiga tries to understand the tamilian's tamil and even tries to reply in tamil
5) This programme is aired on primetime TV
All the tamilian "expert" has is some money from somewhere, with absolutely nothing between his ears. kannaDigaru are falling prey to this fool.

Sometime back, we protested and stopped
Arul Murugan show in 4M channel.
Best medicine for this is, call that number and when its on AIR ask him to speak in kannada.
