i was responding to kaushik. swamy,i was also wondering when our channels would cover the floods.if it is mumbai,they have five reporters in five locations. i realised the dire situation from the bbc. 300000 acres have been destroyed and 150 lakh people are homeless,but all the channels showed it second after either dawood(timesnow),sheiladixit(cnnibn),laloo(ndtv) and sheiladixit(headlinestoday). but we will always have eager sms s on those channels about dr kalam and similar subjects.
