Geo -- Plz jeenay do

yesterday @ iftar time, sitting around the table, watching tv we were trying to get to a channel that shows iftar countdown, we came to halt at geo news. After the iftar dua and azan some news about this "kalakar" (artist) started .......they were showing this random singer who cudnt make a living out of his singing and now sells ice cream to raise his family. the way Geo put it ...it was like "talent ki pakistan main koi kadar nahin - aik singer apni singing ko chor kai ice cream ka thaila laganay laga" and they show these random people from the streets who are saying "becharay kai uper yeh din a gayee hain" etc etc........
what i got pissed at was the tone of "bechargi" to the entire news! y ?? y is selling ice cream THAT degrading to our nation!? hasnt any one seen people singing for money at tube stations...do u call them beggers?? not really! they are NOT asking for money...they are only displying their talents and people who want to give ...they give! but the point is our nation has forgotten then Mehnat is what is desired and no kaam is degraded in Islam! but Geo seems to think other wise....at times i feel they are only trying to agitate the nation and nothing else....
