Random rant on CNN Weather Report I was on a 'vacation' for the last 2 weeks or so. As is the case with me, I tend to get homesick very fast. 4-5 days out of India and I'm terribly homesick. Obviously I can't call up my friends and family back in India every now and then. That would make me the object of endless ridicule once I return. So, I do the next closest thing. Watch TV whenever I got a chance trying to get a glimpse of whats going on in India. Unfortunately, the Hotels I was put up at only had SKY, BBC, CNN and loads of Irish channels. No Star, No NDTV etc. Of course in India, I would never watch CNN or BBC. I'd get all the news I want from NDTV, Aaj Tak and Zoom TV. But in the primitive Western lands, I had to settle for CNN. So I switch on the TV and they had this global weather report. A show that went on for 10 minutes. :WTF: Who the bleddy hell shows weather for 10 mins??? Even in India, their weather broadcast is at least for 5 mins. They start off with some random technical talk about low pressure/ high pressure areas. Why do they even do this? What we really want from a weather report ( if at all) is a prediction. We know what the weather is by just looking outside the window. All that we need to know is if we have to take along an umbrella/cap/raincoat/sweater or not, and the anchor is babbling something dropping from 26.1 to 22.8. Even the way they talk gets to you. An example: " I'm sorry to tell those folks in the ________ region that the weekend doesn't look good. Saturday and Sunday are going to be rainy, windy, cold and abjectly disheartening " In the first place, I'm not interested in knowing if he is sorry to have to tell us or not. I don't mind being told that its going to be windy and rainy, but when he says its going to be an 'abjectly disheartening' weekend, he is taking it a step too far. Disheartening is a state of mind, and not a weather condition. There is no way a weatherman can predict the state of my mind on a cold, windy, rainy day. Maybe I want to stay in the hotel room for the whole day :winky: :P and the weather is just the excuse for it . Why should he guess? Just stick to reporting the damn weather. And they make these random chalk lines on the map to show high/low pressure areas. I mean, how accurate can it be? If his hand slips an extra inch, he would have entered continental Europe from UK. Its all a farce. At the end of it all, they never showed any news on India. Comparatively, our news channels are so much better. They have a scroll bar showing the weather and don't spend insane amounts of time on it. Thank God for small mercies.

Clearly, people watch the weather report for many more reasons than a prediction or whether they need to take an umbrella or sweater. I know someone who watches weather reports when in another country on a vacation of their home country to avoid being homesick. :hmmm:

ok, this happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I once went to my office's mail room to pick up my parcel. The attendant there asked me to jot down my details before I leave. Being a left hander with a weird grip I tend to draw attention whenever I write. I always sense those stares and hear those murmurs while I write. I got used to it and I dont bother too much about it. This time was no different either, Sensing the all too familiar stare I managed to catch a glimpse of the attendant's expression. He had that astonished look on his face. But as soon as I was about to leave, he said that he admires me. I asked him a little confused "Admire?" He then realized that he goofed up and mumbled something inaudible and thats when I realized too, he thinks I have some sort of disablity and he thinks I did it good to come this far in life despite it. At this point the situation was more awkward than my hooked writing style, so I just took the parcel and walked out briskly. So a lesson to all you right handers: Lefties are not disabled we just happen to live in a world with every stuff designed for righties, including English and almost every other language. :mad:
