are filmstars and cricketers given too much importance in our society?

Indians breathe in every day with these areas of profession giving us a reason to exuberate, gossip, to flaunt our knowledge and to quickly grab attention of the people we are walking along with. No doubt, Bollywood, cricket and politics are the binding factors for the people of our nation. We rejoice in a festive mood and extend our full support when our team wins, a Bollywood blockbuster touches our hearts or a political party claims to achieve something great, but is not this binding at the cost of negligence of other important areas we should give heed to?
Looking on the other side of the picture, we leave out issues like poverty, population, unemployment, corruption and terrorism from our daily scope of discussion. Happenings like SHOAINA’s Wedding, IPL controversies, Bollywood gossips of film stars, and a party’s stand on an issue attracts our attention and make us talk, think, debate and stereotype people associated with these professions. Reason being the far deserving attention given to them by our media. You might be aware of the auction amount of IPL franchises but you might not be aware of the misery our country is facing at a macroscopic level. Its only when we think, discuss, spread our constructive ideas, do something productive about the important issues of reducing poverty, unemployment etc. that we can contribute in gigantic efforts required in eliminating them. It becomes an important responsibility of the youth of our nation to give due importance to obstacles in the growth of our country. At the present rate of development, the vision 2020 seems to remain just a dream than a possible accomplishment.
