A strong western media house sends a reporter to report from GROUND ZERO:
The mood has been rather upbeat since 8 December 2018 in Indian branch. EXIT POLLS are showing EARLY SIGNS of @narendramodi wave FINALLY COMING to a grinding halt!
The reporter has been asked to liaise with WHO IS WHO of INDIAN MEDIA. He is aware that they will be rather very busy hopping from one studio to the other. He has to meet them break the news to their HEAD OFFICE that MODI WAVE ENDED PREMATURELY. He finally gets a breakfast meeting at 7.30AM from a famous neutral journalist.
The neutral journalist who has been rather depressed since 5 years was suddenly in her most cheerful self!
“You alright.. you seem to be happy “asks the reporter
“Something unprecedented, unbelievable has happened. Can YOU BELIEVE.. MODI is losing 5-0”
Western reporter(WR) observing her.. “wow! If that happens that will be MENTAL”
NEUTRAL JOURNALIST (NJ) : “IT IS HAPPENING.. matter of few hours”

NJ : See you 11 December 2018!!!!!
WR: Let me start my article.. thanks
After thoughts:
5 state elections of 2018 is considered as Semi-finals and Loksabha elections 2019 is considered as finals. #Exitpolls started getting telecasted before the last vote was cast. Needless to expect anything better MSM but they wrote the epitaph and buried Modi wave.
In this article, an attempt is made to reflect the people’s ambitions and mindset on development, etc., versus political offerings vs media’s business interests and may be judicial non-accountability?
