Media in India...

Media in India...

We have freedom to media in India, and what do they do, to my understanding, they create tension, create panic, instability and what not.... Though a good amount of fear among the law makers or breakers still remain, but it's a question to me and will always remain so... who is afraid of whom?

i saw the news channels interviewing people at blast sites in Delhi in the recent unfortunate accident. So as people all over the country including who have done it saw... we together saw the devastation and also saw the fear of citizen on the TV. Don't you think this would boost their confidence see fear in people's face? It is natural but what is the point in showing the brutality again and again, i could not eat that night and i am sure a lot of you also would not have...

Is the media not weakening the attitude of our's looking at life?

i am not blaming media, it has done wonders to the nation...
Then where we have reached, we have to move faster, and each of us has to work together putting aside our personal interests. Are we not at the same place, where quality of leaving of people is the same as years before?

There are so many success stories, happy stories of people which is so encouraging... so enriching. Are we made aware of them? Not really....

i can understand the fact that, All news does not sale, But that is (actually) needed and media has to show it's creativity in doing that...

It's a challenge to media, all of us have to understand that and work towards that to see...

Let the bomb BLAST???


Another blast in India - the capital city "Delhi"...

i came to know about the blast while watched a news in a shop in J P Nagar, where i stopping to ask about disposing the defected key board and the mother board lying in my room... i was shocked... but not much - have become used to it by now after listening about Ahmadabad, Mumbai, Bangalore. Hyderabad... recently within couple of months...

Called up one of my friend and tried some others to know their situation, [remembered the movie 'A Wednesday' which i saw on 10 Sept]. Felt little solaced listening about their wellness. Same time this disease of serial blasts troubled/ disturbed me..... Came back home - tried some other friends, but the disturbance is still there in me.... WHY???

it has been clear by now, as people responding that, what ever these people (Terrorists or whoever) are doing, they are just to disturb/ trouble the normal way of living... and i strongly feel that is the only reason and along with a hope in them to encourage/ catalyze the communal disharmony in the society. But by now they had been happening till some time before, but people have understood, by now who is being targeted.... and why!!!

We need to introspect at this point of time... couple of things...
- We want to be target of them
- We need to take some steps which will demoralize their confidence of their hope to destabilize the society.
- More thoughts you will also have, please do share....

Coming back to my life that evening, i came along my friends who were preparing for a Saturday night celebration with bear and food... i was not shocked really but little unhappy... Some of my friends still think these things are being done by Muslims, but here i have some thoughts around this.....

Do the people who are doing all these nuisance know who is who.. Weather a Muslim or Hindu or Christian or... if they are Muslim or Hindu did they inform their friends before the incidents... NO... then from where this question arises...

After almost 4 years looking at this post... what was there that evening is no more fresh in mind but a recent incident in an auto rickshaw ride gave me another angle to it...

Am i here to Live and Leave?

Am i contributing/ adding value to my living in this world?
Or...
Am i living selfishly to sustain myself in this "much to be looked after" society/ Country/ World?

Don't we all want peace, growth, harmony in our life?
But then why we are not getting? Either we are not working towards that or the work we are doing is not taking us towards that...

Here i am not referring of the "Peace" we achieve when we breadth our last, i am talking of the "Peace" which i can realize while breathing along with you.

my observation in day-to-day life is, we have developed or rather developing a habit to put ourselves in a mode to achieve power moment by moment - at all stages of life. Our love for power is increasing day by day. A question comes to my mind - Are we going to achieve peace with more power? i feel when the power of love will overcome the love of power, the world will see peace.

Now you (my dear reader) may say i am dreaming for a better world... (i would continue putting my thoughts further... since now connection to my feeling is lost as i am feeling hungry)...


love & prayer,

I Have a Dream...

i saw the video of Martin Luther King - His historical soeech "I have a Dream", and was prompted to put down my dreams...

-----------------

i have a dream One day...

My brother and sister would be known not only for the care they have towards me but for the care they carry in their little hearts for the world around them, i have a dream, one day… My parents would not only feel attached to me as because i am their own child but also because they feel connected to a child sleeping under no-roof and eating nothing for his livelihood, i have a dream, one day… my neighbours come out of their house and call me to join them going around different houses looking after the older ones who are not being looked after properly by coincidence, i have a dream, .

i have a dream, one day the people of my nation would not be known for the differences of their religion but for the understanding of each other's religion.
