“That’s a dumb show, can’t believe you still watch this”, jeered Yega.

 “It’s all a mind game you know….get you all riled up over people’s antics, make you tune in for more craziness every day, and while your BP rises, their channel’s TRP rises, their sponsorship grows, their ads multiply, all thanks to people like you.

“Good, finally she has come to her senses”, grumbled Yega, as she stretched her legs and changed channels to watch India Vs South Africa T20 game, cheering loudly for her favorite player to hit a boundary.
