'अशा पद्धतीने' and 'त्या ठिकाणी'

Indian talk show hosts love mindless debates on all issues.The Marathi Electronic media is replete with senseless "breaking news" reportage where two-penny anchors (read poor actors) are keen, nay desperate, to turn celebrities overnight, with their nonsensical sermons that invariably begin and end with 'अशा पद्धतीने' and 'त्या ठिकाणी'

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when one hostess pompously exclaimed in third person:

"मला लोकं विचारतात - ज्ञानदा, सांग ना, आम्ही काय काळजी घ्यायची कोरोना साठी - मी म्हणते, ज्ञानदा तुम्हाला काय सांगणार - ती हेच म्हणेल - सोशल डिस्टंसिन्ग ठेवा, घराबाहेर पडू नका, काळजी घ्या "

All the other channels have less scary versions of ज्ञानदा in both genders.

God save this country, both from Covid and Covid journos.

Statutory warning: there are no drugs or vaccines to counter the machinations and mutations of the latter category.
