Does Vijay TV have a Winner....

Finally there is a one of a kind talk show on television which is guaranteed to keep you glued to your seat, spur some discussion among friends and will not make your mom cry for sure. Titled “Neeya Naana” it is anything but an argument between two groups. It is a debate that is well controlled by the host gopinath, who ensures that the discussion never escalates into a squabble. The show prides on being the perfect platform for people to share their views and opinions.

One of the usp’s of the show is its choice of topics for discussion. Topics like “Romance in public”, “Young mom Vs Young daughters" spurred much interest among people. Then again there have been some topics which are touchy and subject to personal beliefs like “Rasi Palan”. Whether such topics which spur controversy be avoided or whether such radical topics be welcomed is open for discussion.

To all my fellow viewers I would just like to float a few thoughts. Firstly, Should controversial topics which have the potential to hurt people’s sentiments and question their very beliefs be discussed openly? (Topics like “Rasi Palan” where it is difficult to justify which side is right!).Next, while discussing a topic like “Tamil Nadu Vs other states” where you peg one state against rest of the country gopinath says that "hopefully this show breaks the barriers and have made people to be more forthright in their opinion" it is difficult to sideline the fact that by discussing are we unconsciously weakening the very foundations of our country like “Unity in Diversity” by advocating open hostility towards certain sections of people because of our own prejudices? Let’s cross our fingers and hope for the best and pray that Gopinath’s words hold fort. Another debatable fact is the level of honesty that people would show in these discussions,For example during the discussion about romance in public all the while there was a big group propagating that romancing in public is not wrong and then suddenly when confronted openly “how many of you have shared a passionate kiss with your lover” it took a good five minutes and a great deal of persuasion for people to accept and even then only a handful acknowledged the fact.

Before i wrap up i would like to put forth few things which i myself am pondering for quite some time now:
In today's world where situations dictate how a person behaves and each and every single person adapts himself/herself to the situation they are in how fair is it for us to decide based on just a few personal experiences whether people from one state are trustworthy while people from another state are not?
Where do you draw the line between a healthy debate and downright argument?
When someone who says that he/she is from a particular cast/community and is blessed to be born into that community, does it make others any less fortunate? How do u decide?
What can we do to weed out any issues that arise from these discussions? Is there any forum that addresses such issues??
