Thingy called PRIVACY

Just got back after watching Big Boss .... the program made me wonder .... why we have such voyeuristic instincts ? Programs like Big Boss and The Moment of Truth are too personal to be considered entertainment. Yesterday while watching TMoT, I was taken aback by the personal nature of the questions ... and worse - the contestant (a girl !!) was giving answers like she is the crusader of truth .... she broke hearts of the closest people in her life .... and for what ??? Money ... I just cannot imagine a person answering questions like who among her lovers is the "stud" .... do you know the worse part of this facade .... she lost .... what did she gained from the program ... NOTHING .... she made her parents and boyfriend angry as hell ... and she didn't won the money ... yeah life can be such a bitch !!!

We all are fascinated by sites like youtube, where you can find innumerable personal video clips. Some of them are as popular as movies. The most popular stuff on telly these days are "reality" shows like Survivor. Why are we so intrigued by personal lives of everyone ? Most governments in the world keep tabs on commoners .... even celebrities are hounded by paparazzi like mad dogs .... most businesses have scary amount of personal details .... no one can truly say that his personal life is his own .... where ever you go ... whatever you do ... someone is keeping a tab on you ....

This gross violation of private/personal life bothers me. What happened to that thingy called PRIVACY??? I guess we live in a different world today .... and I don't see anything changing soon.... it may get worse in future
