Sach ka samna... face the truth

Sach ka samna... face the truth, is a reality show which many a people's imagination when it was first aired in 2009 on Star Plus, I think, at 10.30 in the night. It created such a furor especially when you had famous people, talking about their secrets which best left in the closet. why am I talking about it now? It is back, so dis it going to be informative like KBC, personally no, I don't want to know if somebody asked his spouse to get an abortion or is angry with his very famous friend for not lending a helping hand or so on and so forth. then Why waste space on a post, here's why. The promo is shot in Delhi and prominently at Rajghat, Gandhiji's Samadhi. One cannot miss the connection here, truth & Gandhiji, anyways, this brings back my a memory, an experience that I had at Rajghat.

Delhi is a beautiful place, especially in a cold December morning. It's royal antecedents continue to lure many and I am one of them. So when I got an opportunity to visit Delhi, even if it was a 4 days, and during the coldest days I was game. And that was the time when Kandahar Hijack incident happened. It was for a cousin's wedding an Uncle, his wife, son, Mom & I were en route to Delhi. Obviously if you are visiting a new city one would choose to do some sight seeing also and that is what we did too. This brings us to Rajghat, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.It is a black marble platform that marks the spot of Mahatma Gandhi's cremation. 

Rajghat

With respect and peity and all the positive feelings that we could muster after all the sight seeing, roaming around in the sun and arguing etc.. we reached the revered spot. It was filled with people of all kinds, shapes, colours, age...

Now in India we remove our footwear even when we enter somebody's house and that is what we did here also, we come out and voila no sign of my my uncle's shoes , that's when we faced the truth, our Sach ka Samna moment happened. My uncle was fuming and we inquired whether anybody saw anything, he was sure the locals knew who took abut wouldn't help us unless we gave them money. Finally we had to shop for shoes for my uncle on a Monday. Ok, what's the big deal?, Nothing, it's just that while flipping channels when I saw the suave Rajeev Kandhelwal (host) with Rajghat as the brackdrop, talking about the country rising against corruption and questioning the leaders for their actions, not willing to take anything lying anymore as it was time to face the truth. What truth, which truth ? And do we really want to know why a starlet did something, why did a man lie to his wife, why did a transgender hide her orientation. Or by knowing all this are we going to try and help them or is it for sensationalism.

I have a question what is "Truth"?
