So, we now have the WORLD’s MOST WANTED MAN DEAD! While some news channels are busy exploring how exquisite was Osama’s mansion others are busy busting Pakistan for “potentially” harbouring terrorists. 
we are all laughs. This could also be the moment when Osama’s large size picture featured on every US newspaper/ magazine/ news sites. It certainly has triggered all the “Headline” writers to come up with wacky, different titles for their productions.
While all this happens, here’s what you can expect in the coming days:
1. Conspiracy Theory/ Controversy
Yes, right! A controversy. Every momentous US event on their calendar has sparked a conspiracy theory. Be it the Moon Landing conspiracy or the 9/11 ones, every major US event has attracted a controversy. So make sure you get your popcorn ready before something pertaining to this pops up.
When this comes, all channels will end up behaving like the one who aired the news that a spaceship kidnapped a cow, and that milk supplies in India was threatened!
2. Bunch of Hollywood movies
You can expect a bunch of Hollywood movies on this, with inspirations that would include the actual operation, experiences of some soldier who participated in the operation, decision making process in the White House, the story of the local citizens etc.
While Hollywood movies will be big budgeted, 3 Dimensional with all the fanfare about winning a dozen odd Oscars, small budget movies from Central Asian countries will vie for the “Best Foreign language” film.
3. Flash games, embedded in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets:
The “Cubicle Maharajas” need constant entertainment to keep them busy while their bosses aren’t around. After “Bush Stone throw” & “Paul the Octopus” we can now expect a game on shooting Osama bin Laden, and get a feel of how the US soldiers did it, while we sit in an air conditioned room rather than the torrid terrains of Af-Pak.
Unfortunately, this game too like others will loose out to all time favorites such as “Park the car”, “Gold Miner” and “Football”; the last one allowing only penalty kicks.
4. Sensational, would be “best seller” Autobiographies of those currently in power
Expect sensational, controversial autobiographies from those currently in power, if not on this at least in the chapter that enlists this. These books are bound to be expensive and it is suggested that you make up your mind before buying a few kilograms of potential BS.
5. “Kya hoga Indo-US relation ka” type debates on Indian news channels
This could actually be worse that answering the “Kya Hoga Nimoo ka?” question. We are already seeing a few channels do this, and it could get worse with all kind of speculation ranging from Nuclear security to financial aid to India’s role in Afghanistan.
Why should we be bothered, especially when we are busy burning nights with IPL and repeat telecasts of 3 Idiots/ Roadies.
6. “What about the 26/11 accused?” type stories
People will never get tired drawing parallels between world events and the event’s “deja vu” moment in India. With the main accused of the 26/11 attacks going public about his homage to bin Laden, this is only to get worse, if not bad.
Hope people keep this in mind, India’s and the US’s ideologies are different, strengths are different, strategies are different. We will do what we want, they will do what they want. Period.
Well to conclude, then, needless to say the article was written with a pun intent! Folks, just sit back and enjoy the show! Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost!
