Extreme Greed for Fame ended with A Murder!



Having fun is no crime, but not at others' expense.  It is not an advise or a sort of idiom, it is just a caution. But, how many of us follow it? We are living in a society,  where it doesn’t matter who are the scapegoat but all matter that you had what you wanted. Sorry to see that the tolerance and feelings are fading from the face of the earth. We end up living in a ruthless world. People are least bothered about others to achieve personal gain or glory. Last week we witnessed how two Djs from Australia forced a women to end her life. The people who are related to any sort of media are dying for overnight glory which finally it took away an innocent life.

It happened many times, everyone aware of the circumstances under which Princes Diana died. In our country we have seen before how renowned journalist Barkha Dutt of NDTV linked to 2G scam with lobbyist Neera Radia. In recent, how two editors of a prime channel demanded a whopping hundred crore from a minister  to drop a news item regarding coal scam. All sorts of media are in a a rotten mess and people around it needs some soul searching to do.


Jacintha Saldanha

Jacintha Saldanha an Indian from Manglore, she was 46 years, a nurse at the King Edward VII's Hospital in central London, answered a call on December 4 morning, with any suspicion. The call was from the Sydney-based 2Day FM station, whose two DJs pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles. Ms Saldanha put them through to a colleague who provided details of the Duchess's condition.

Ms Saldanha was found unconscious at a nurses' residence close to the private hospital in Marylebone at about 9.35am and despite the efforts of paramedics could not be revived. Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious, and a source said she had taken her own life. Mental health experts cautioned against any assumptions about factors contributing to her death. The nurse, a mother of two children, who started working at the hospital in 2008, is the first member of staff heard to answer on a recording of the hoax call from presenters Mel Greig and Michael Christian.

Ms Greig, seeking to impersonate the Queen, asked to be put through to "my grand-daughter", prompting Ms Saldanha to pass the phone to another nurse who was looking after the duchess. The hospital, which is rated as one of London's best private medical establishments and has a reputation for closely guarding the privacy of its patients.

In addition to the inherent humiliation caused by the prank, Saldanha was further humiliated by the DJs, who gloated that she fell for the "easiest prank ever made." They never expected their absurdist British accents to succeed. On the morning of the tragedy they were still gloating on Twitter. Doing a job is not mean taking an innocent life. It is so painful to think that how horrifying it was for the woman with a loving husband and two kids to come to the extreme decision.

The obsession for the royal family by the Brits should partially blame for the sad incident. People of Britain should realize that the members of royal family are not god but a normal person like others. At the same time royal family too has some responsibility, instead of enjoying the craze around them, they themselves should make people become conscious that they are nothing more than an ordinary human.

!!!Who lives with disproportionate of excuses should prepare to die with the same amount of regrets !!!
