Misleading News.

Misleading News.

8 to 10 slots, it is the prime time for the television shows where
highly acclaimed serials, reality shows, advertisement & whole day
news are telecasted for the reason that prime time is that time when
the whole family member are together. Prime time is the most expensive
time slot to telecast anything. What will happen if the news channel
telecast news that fears the audience?

“World end in the year 2013” such are the news which actually a man
hears or views as he arrives from the hectic day of work. There are
many such news which are telecasted during the prime time. Audience
tune in the news channel to get an update what is going on in the
country & internationally & many news channels just to avoid the
repeat of reports telecast such wired news which is actually not news.
Just to fill in the time slot while there is no quality information or
reports this stories are telecasted, such stories attracts audience
those are firm believer in astrology & women are the primary target.
This is just the publicity stunt which the channels exercise so as to
get the maximum TRP’s.

Such stories misguide the audience for the actual news which somehow
affects the psyche of the audience. By personal observation it is
notices that the new generation teenagers are sentimental & could not
swallow such story which would affect their life. Just to increase TRP
& get maximum advertisement revenue news channels mislead audience by
showing them their near future which cannot be forecast & there are no
ultimate reason for such happenings.

Hence it is an urge to the audience not to get misguided by such
stories just for the reason that this day’s everything is
professionalized & with the stiff competition even in this media
profession the news business is also an hardcore business which is
been practiced day in & day out.

It is being said that Indian culture is the unique culture in this
world.

But what makes an Indian culture unique....? Daughters!

We the people of India are still unable to distinguish a daughter, she
plays a vital role in Indian culture.

What does a daughter mean?

On the birth of the girl child it’s the father who’s the happiest
person in the whole family & feels luckiest as much as the whole
family feels on the birth of a boy child.

It is also known that daughter’s are dear to their fathers & son’s to
their mothers. In daily life when father comes home from a hectic day
of work it is the daughter who observers tiredness on father’s face &
asks him “shall I give u head message” or “shall I press your head”,
such emotion is hardly been observed in case of son’s.

When such daughter get married & goes away from her own family with
whom she lived for 20 to 25yrs & get herself involved with the other
family from the very next day saying “this is my family”, such
daughter are worth of respect & honored.

However rich or poor the father might be he will make the best
possible arrangement for her daughter marriage & give her lots of love
in form of gifts, jewelries etc. From very start of making arrangement
for his daughter’s marriage to receiving guest, looking after them &
till the very last minute of marriage the father is the busiest person
around.

After the whole procedure of marriage there is a custom in Hindu known
as “Biddai” when a daughter meets her parents for the last time before
leaving her place, she meets each & every member of her family from
her near & dear uncle & aunty to her brother & mother but it is the
father to whom she meets at the very end because it is the father to
whom the daughters are really dear to & wants to spend few more
moments with him, wants to talk to him, wants to thank him for being
by side of her everything when she is pain etc.

But the son’s who are been given priority in Hindu family considering
they are strong but when it come to sacrifice it the daughters only
who can make the above things possible.

Hence it is the bond of father & daughter make the Indian culture a
really unique culture in the world.

Tuesday 9th June 2009, (7 pm in public transport) “excuse me, you are
Avinash right!”

“Yes I am but you are Mr ….. !”

Oh so you didn’t recognize me hmm. Well do you remember the year 1980
J.S College, FY B.com, every rnorning 6 am local Borivali
to Churchgate, 3rd row 5th bench in the college hmm…

“Oh it’s you Sharma, the great Pratap Sharma”, said Avinash. Yes, “You
have already forgotten me, well any ways what are you doing in this
public transport you are suppose to be in your luxurious private
vehicle” asked Sharma.

“Well it’s a long story & this is not the place to talk about it”,
said Avinash.

“Then let’s have a cup of coffee… & after all it is high time since we
have met so we can spend some time together”, replied Sharma.

( in restaurant with a cup of coffee )

So Avinash I am unable to digest the situation, you are looking
distressed, in simple formals, submerged in sweat, well what
happened?

Avinash: It was May 1984 when I started my leather business, in 2 to 3
years of time I had earned high & handsome profit & everything is was
going good, I got married, had 2 children. I got so occupied in the
business that I was unable to spent time with my family & was busy in
earning profits. I never saw my children playing because when I leave
my place early in the morning & come back late at night I could only
see them sleeping. I satisfied all their need with money but I had no
idea that this thing would cost me a lot in future.

Both my sons took advantage of the status in their own ways. The
younger one Aansh got so close to his friends that he hardly comes at
home, rest of the time he is in to party, discos, pubs etc. Whereas
the elder fellow Vansh was a very conservative type & had a group of
friends who were from middle class & lower middle classes & have seen
struggling day with them. Since that time he felt his responsibility &
inspite of me earning lakhs of rupee he use to study as well as do
part time, he developed the habit of savings where as Aansh never
changed by the time they both were about to get settle with job & at
that very point of time I started incurring suffering losses & had to
put an end to my business carrier, everything was finish I lost my
lavish car, flats etc.

At that point of time the hard work & commitment of Vansh really
helped his experience in part time had earned him a good post in MNC &
his saving earned us the bread & butter throughout our awful times.

I too by some means got recruited at pay role as per industrial
standards. The younger fellow is regretting for time is misused & is
struggling to find means to get settle. Vansh became fiscally
established & is living happy married life.

Sharma: I have to admit you have truly struggled a lot but all credit
to Vansh for setting stage for his future & also his approach towards
life is worth praising.

MORAL: It’s the responsibility which builds the stage for future &
not the status

That's all folks: Pranab (Budget 2009)

That’s all folks: Pranab
(Budget 2009)

'Aam Admi' is the focus of all our programmes and schemes: Pranab. But
where is Aam Admin gone in this budget…? Indirectly everything is
debited from middle class & credited in high income group’s account.
Clothes become expensive which is which 1 of the primary need where as
LCD TVs to cost less, Branded jewellery to become cheaper but the
education section is untouched, Auto Industry relaxed where as Set-Top
Boxes to cost more, Mobile phone accessories to get cheaper but Mobile
gets lavish. What does this indicate?

All luxurious commodities are in a way made cheaper & majority of the
things consumed by middle income group is hiked. Infrastructure will
bloom “through Aam Admin’s pocket” & Income tax forms is made user
friendly for the reason that middle income group pays maximum. If we
go through past records of budget we can clearly witness that there is
always disappointment for Aam Admin when Congress Government came in
power.

Now this budget makes us think “have we chosen correct Government to
pull us out of this recession?

Financial Hub Dominates on Capital

Financial Hub Dominates on Capital

India is a diverse country in respect of religion, language, cast,

culture, etc. As India is among one the faster developing country many

country are dependent on India in various ways as in outsourcing, man

power, exports etc. Foreign citizens are migrating to India in search

of growth, better future & opportunities. For any country there are

three basic factors to make it a better place to inhabit is Finance,

Safety & Infrastructure.

It is believed the safest place or the city of the country is that

where many milliners resides. How true is that? It is just 20% true,

for the reason that city will have good infrastructure, better finance

& best security but these are only for those milliners residing there.

There cannot be a better example than the Mumbai (Financial Hub) &

Delhi (Capital). Delhi leads in all respect from business tycoons to

infrastructure & from accident case to murder case. Delhi is just

respect for the reason that it is the capital of the country. There

are no great reasons why the citizens should be proved of the capital,

there are frequent reports of extortions, rapes, & terrorist attack &

activities, apart from this there are many social issues such as water

& electricity problem, safety concern for women’s etc.

Whereas there are few business tycoons in Mumbai than in Delhi still

Mumbai is the safest place to inhabit. There is good finance in

Mumbai, there are better safety measures & infrastructure is on the

rise. Infrastructure of Mumbai lack as compared to Delhi, but as

Mumbai is known as Financial Hub there are ample of finance going in &

out, it is also said that “no individual can die of hunger in Mumbai”,

it simply means that whether the individual is poor or well educated

can at least earn his bread & butter. There is vast scope & growth for

every business & service providers. Water & electricity problem also

prevail in Mumbai but not as much as in Delhi, rate of extortions,

rapes cases are also minimum to that of Delhi, woman can afford to

work till late night in Mumbai which is risky in Delhi. Mumbai also

sets an example of “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”, which was witnessed during

torrential rain in Mumbai (26/7), Mumbai local serial blast (7/11),

Mumbai terrorist attack (26/11) etc, hardly ever seen in Delhi.

Also in Indian mythology the great epic Mahabharata which was fought

on the land known as Delhi in modern times, is believed that epic has

left its effect of violence, for this reason Delhi is going through

the violence even in modern days.

As Delhi being the capital is the land of one but the financial hub

Mumbai is the land of many & from above all facts we can at least say

that Financial Hub Dominates on Capital

Whose city is it any ways?

Whose city is it any ways?

This is in concern for the city of Mumbai, Whose city is it any ways?
There has been some drama going on in Mumbai since months. There were
brutality seen on the streets on Mumbai for the North Indians,
celebrities & industrialist too were targeted, “people are asking
KHANA & Chavan wants KHAN”- Udhav, now these is a new disturbance by
political party on My Name is Khan & Khan’s.

There are few things which make Mumbai a hot spot, they are as under:

1) The highest tax Government of Maharashtra receives is from Mumbai &
these taxes come from the entertainment (bollywood, advertising etc).
Imagine if this industry put down the lid.

2) The highest tax payer are the industrialist, actor, actresses,
cricketers etc. imagine if they reside to other metropolitan city &
BSE shuts down !

3) At 6am in morning the milk reaches your door step, all the fruit &
vegetable vendor are just next to your society, for quick transport
auto’s & taxi’s are at your service when you just wave you your hand,
all most every laundry man gives you door to door service. But the
common things in these people are all North Indians imagine if they
return back to their states.

4) The securities for the high profile personality & for VIP & VVIP’s
are all the North India.

Actually these are the main element that makes Mumbai a metropolitan &
assist the people residing here to live fast livelihood. Just think of
disturbing any of this element & its effects on the daily routine.

Now just think for a while is Mumbai a victim of politics or it’s the
cause just for people like us are quite.

Many things happen not just because it had too, but it happens just
for the reason we never stood against it.

Now can we make out “Whose city is it any ways”?
