Meddelling "Media"

At times I am really 'wonder stuck', how our media is able to keep itself engaged so grossly on some most trivial issues. It's ability to hype 'silly points' and at times 'slip away' on important national issues continues to amaze.
Where was the need to go around 'batting' on the national channel over a simple and natural response of one of our greatest gentleman cricketer & then try to "cover drive" the episode in the streets of Mumbai/Delhi.
'Sachin Tendulkar' and all of us do know we are 'Indians' and have the liberty to live, work, eat and play 'cricket' anywhere in India. Be it' Maharashtra' or' Madhya Pradesh' how does it matter? Now if some 'self centered' politicians in the country are taking time to know this, just leave them alone. I am sure with time they will realize their follies.
I agree 'journalism' is all about having a nose for 'news'.However it doesn't mean they can 'blow their nose' now and then on the national channels, jeopardizing country's intelligence. 'David Coleman Headley'(26/11 suspect) is a recent instance of 'blowing nose'.
It is time that the media in this country is able to distinguish between a 'breathing nose' and a 'blocked nose'. Let us hope they keep their channels 'news worthy' and remain generally focused on "Aam Aadmi" and his 'tryst with destiny'!Jai 'Hindustani 'Manus',Jai'Amichi'(My) Bharat'!

In conversation with Bapu....

With 'Sare Jahan Se Achcha' and 'Abide with Me'the Soul-stirring martial tunes and solemn drum beats at the majestic Raisina Hills the "Beating the Retreat" ceremony marked the conclusion of the week long ceremonial functions of India celebrating her 62nd year of Republic.As the illumination lit up the edifices of Imperial India..my thought reached out to that day into the history of independence that finally dropped the curtain on a life called "Gandhi"...the man whose experiment with truth may not have jelled with today but his name has truly become the brand that remain most misused & manipulated both in trade & politics.As I key-in these lines I can read out the conversation that would have transpired between the "soul of Nation" (SON) and "Mahatma Gandhi"(Bapu)....Read on what I read..... SON: Bapu it's me,are you sleeping....? BAPU: How can you ask that...don't you know this day in the year 1948..I was gu...

But 'PAPU' Can "Vote"...'Sala'..!

"Sala".. is a generally accepted slang for both 'hum' the "Hindustani" and 'tum' the "Indian". Together this "HUM TUM" make the "Aam Admi"of the world's largest 'democracy'. This is our "INDIA".I agree with the TV ad that almost says "My India Strongest" in spite of the "Everest" of issues that surround her. Normally in this country the fate of the 'ordinary' people ie 'Aam Admi' always remain woefully harassed, pushed and frustrated through the year. However at the close every 5 years this 'Aam Admi' suddenly become extraordinarily powerful and remain wooed by all 'big,small and sundry' political parties of the country. Yes it is time for General Election. In the coming months for the 15th Lok Sabha, 714 million eligible voters would be 'bee lining' to the ballot boxes across 29 states,6 union territories to elect 543 members . 'Jaago-...

Just about...being a "Father"

A new world greeted them with smile and happiness when they... "Just met" and soon for them the wedding bells rang... Now, they are happily lost in their own world & together are learning to set- up a 'Home’ of their own... away from what was a home for them a little earlier in the year....That's "his" daughter & "his" son in-law. ..Being very adorable, the house has become little less chirpy after her moving out….. …."He" now does feel the boredom...but will never show it off... Because "he" is the father ...and expected to put on a stern face & always remain a 'matter of fact' person..... He is all set to explore & build-up a learning curve that may see him well in life in about a couple of years from now. After his graduation he may probably start living away from home in a distant land in pursuit of excellence...That's "His" son Being the darling of the house, "he" is...
