Your eyes don’t decide what you see these days !!!

Have you ever wondered today we don’t see what we want to see but we see what the mass media wants us to see. Few bunch of people who sit in the place called editors office sit and decide what we see. What an irony of life. In the name of freedom of press there is just a wild fight of the TRPs and sale volume.

The interest of the viewers has been sidelined so much so that today the subscribers don’t even know what is that they want or what should they expect.

I appreciate the way the doordarshan(DD) channel for having kept its virginity. I call it virginity because it has never let go of its values. I recall from the days when I was a kid and the only channel coming on my home TV was doordarshan. Even today the shows broadcasted in the channel are so meaningful.

The people in the media have taken the viewers for granted. They think whatever bull they show on tv will be accepted. They are falling short to make a meaningful flow of information and choking the information and manipulating it the way they want. Today we see or hear what the media wants us to hear.

They just make people get glued to mega(chewing gum) serials and wasting the precious families quality time. The highest viewed programs today are from those relating to crime sectors. No wonder why crime rates are rocketing high at such an alarming rate. They are just behaving as a slut to a greedy landlord who does anything he wishes for the sake of some coins. The common is being deprived his right to information without his knowledge.

There are some shows on tv(for eg: splitsvilla on mtv) on which in the name of open mindedness are ruining our culture and the people are happy watching. Can the media stoop down to this level just to make more and more people watch it. don’t they have some guidelines to follow. And moreover the media acts in India are so toothless.

Its very clear. Today’s media in no more interested in unearthing the true facts, which is what is its primary function. India has some hundreds of channels and most of them private. They don’t even make an effort to educate the people about the culture of our country. I agree making people familiarize with the culture of the world is very necessary in today’s global setup but that doesn’t mean its don’t at the cost of not educating people our countrymen about our country and what has it stood for. Whenever there is the a birth anniversary of a great Indian leader not even a mention about him is made these days. How do you think the younger generation in gonna get to know about them. With our education system mostly concentrated towards scoring marks and piling up marks card it becomes the immediate duty of the media that is should carry on the duty what it was built for.

In times of festival only the glamorous side of it is shown but never the value of it or the reason why it was initiated for the first place in discussed. Unless and until we contain this enormous power of the media in the right way the very essence of culture is going be strangled by neck by the very own media which is meant to prevent.

The measure of a man.

The thought I am gonna put forth in front of you are not the usually ones as in they don’t come in your mind any other time. But only during exam time.

What is the measure of the man?

What does one consider as a life lived worthwhile. Is it the life when someone does something for the society, or does something to his family? Does an mba or be comes teacher. Or is it like giving the best in where ever you are. It doesn’t matter where you go but how much you love being there and what do you do to grow in that area. After all this time on this planet I have come to believe this one simple truth.

There are only two kinds of players, those who control their nerves and win championships and the others who don’t.

Life is always unfair and we better get used to it.

The philosophy that if you do good to others good will be done to you never holds but that doesn’t mean that one should not do good. Doing good to someone brings meaning to life but expecting good things to happen because you have done a good thing is just so mean way of living.

In life the ability to communicate is everything. And for you to communicate one should possess enough knowledge for that one has to be educated.

The only way for a country to become superpower in today’s world is only by education. Only if the people are educated to the highest standards the upsurge of the country will be a dream which will be hard to realize. By education I mean the people should know be in a situation to manage crisis. They should have trained themselves of prime performance.

How could a country possibly come ahead if the people inhabiting it are still ignorant of their potential or obscure about their duties? With kind of population we have in our country we can make the whole world come to its knees in front of us. The road is not easy but not impossible.

The first and foremost requirement is to educate people. Not just making them academically come up.

Teachers and schools play a crucial role in making the life of a man. If only the teacher gives his best effort to make give a life to a student.
