Image
We are lost in our busy schedules, event do not think ourselves. Hardly do we remember the purpose of life we lead. When it comes to professional front, all of us are successful since we cater more time towards our goal. But fail to introspect, when we think about inner peace. Leading a life as machines is not the true meaning either. The word “GOD” has been there and we come across at least once in a day because the world is the wonderful way to see our inner peace- who we are; what is the aim of our life. Obviously money is not God’s will otherwise all richest men in the world could have achieved ‘Nirvana’. No matter what you do who you are – you identity still a ‘Human’ – intellectual and noble. The following top five quotes made me to write this post as we look for resources for relaxing, stress management, positive living, mind control and positive thinking. Just read these quotes, hope you will find those not only heart touching but feel the touch of Buddhist philosoph...

The issue of Kashmir was the main bone of contention that shadows the talks between two countries. The core issue has been terrorism and Pakistan has been on back foot to discuss about for two reasons. First the cross border terrorism - a terrorist Usman was apprehended by Indian police recently. And the second reason that the revelation of under world don Dawood Ibrahim residing in Pakistan. Cross border terrorism is open truth that - it is being sponsored by Pakistan and Pak Army.

Image
Maggi is the popular food item India, no doubt about that. Ask any layman, you will get answer a best dish to serve in just two minutes. Hardly do many of us think about the food safety standards and its limits. Thanks to media, otherwise we would have been continuing – two minutes food item - Maggi food as we have been doing for long. At this point of time, we missed to judge it completely. Even we did not spare two minutes to think about its impact on health let alone on kids. Interestingly, there was discussion on maggi and food standard on news channel. One panelist in the programme backed maggi as safe, since she has been eating from her childhood. Now, she is adult and no health complaints at all. She got a good reply from the moderator that “thank God..Your alive”…. Ridicules, to hear such arguments in favor of a product that consists 17 times of lead, a chemical that is considered as dangerous, than permitted level. Being a media person, I do judge all the sides, without...

Journalism - A study on Reality?

Image
Journalism is the study on reality, in other words, its about news and ethics. Over the years, the media has been become the major tool to reach people and playing major role in society building. Without the study of journalism the media would have lost its proper direction in serving the society. As one great man said, one uncontrolled pen would destroy the society rather serving it , he is none other than Mahatma Gandhi. The ethics in media and a Laxman Rekha (Self-regulation) are must of media organisation and student of journalism. Without, the aim will be lost in the race competitiveness and business. Role of media has been defined in proper manner that it guides the society and helps administration to look upon the loopholes there. There may be many criticisms there  about role of media in highlighting the issues, news and views. But, the role has always been appreciated, which aimed to help and helped many. However, unfortunately few instances of  bribe an...

Go to any market no matter in any state, pick up any product you'd like to purchase, one thing is sure that you'll come across products carrying tag "Made in China". The article is not based on any official facts and figures, but upon the personal experience only. The markets in India are filled with products from China.

The 'Made in China' products in the market having million of business in India and those are benefit the traders and businessmen in China.

Some media reports quote that made-in-china products too become part and parcel of our life during festivals. Take the example of recently celebrated Diwali in India, lots of...

Role of commonmen in India’s Development

Most of us most of the time keep blaming the system and the politicians everything else but ourselves, for the lack of development, and for our position. The truth is that to some extent they are indeed responsible but, we as common citizens of India have a very important role to play, in the development of our nation. If we take the example of the cricket, the game we all love so much. A team wins only when each and every player gives his best, and when everyone has a common goal that is to emerge as a winning team. A team does not win, only when the captain plays well, but the team has a lot many chances to win when the whole team plays well, even if the captain fails to do so. This is what is happening to our country now, all the time we are blaming the politicians or others except ourselves for the present kind of situation, forgetting the fact that, we are also a part of a the same system and we too have duties to fulfill. When we exercise our fundamental duties, we have a ri...

Educational Reforms: Need of the Hour

Since the last thirty years, India has transformed itself in an unbelievable way. The thinking and behavior pattern of the people has changed, political system has undergone changes, and technology wise there have been huge changes. But hardly there have been any changes and reforms in the educational department. Except for the more private institutions, offering computer related and Ites courses. Educational system should change according to the need of the students and circumstances existing today. There are criticisms from all sections of the people and from the people from outside countries, that. Indian students are less in standard when compared to students of other countries. It is because, they cannot answer the same question, if put in another way. They are simply trained to mug up the answers and write them in the examination, there is no scope for them to contemplate and innovate or question. This is where the students and the Indian educational system is lagging behind...

Rules & Regulation Breed Corruption

Rules and regulations are framed, so as to enable, the work to be done in an orderly fashion and everything is in accordance with law and to see that no illegal activity is there. Rules and regulations should be short and crisp, straight fulfilling the purpose that they are meant for. But, when they are complicated, and become too much. The very purpose, for which they were meant, is destroyed. Rules and regulations, by themselves do not breed corruption. The people who are supposed to carry out the duties, and are responsible to see that everything is in order are the ones who are responsible for it. Too much of anything is good for nothing that applies here aptly. Too much and fussy, interrelated rules and regulations, make it difficult, for the task to be accomplished, early. So, there is a delay, so to overcome that delay and to finish the work early, they demand bribe and this breeds corruption. So, there should be minimum rules and regulations that need t...

How should common man Deal with inflation, rising prices and fixed salary?

Image
This is a kind of question that is making normal man, spend sleepless nights. Never the less, there is a solution for every problem, and there is an answer for every question. The common man has no control over the rising inflation, or over the prices, but there are things which he can do, to stabilize his standard of living and to cope up with, the rising prices. One way definitely is to have control over his expenditure and cut it down to the minimum, and focus more on needs than on wants. The other way is to upgrade himself in his skills, may be by planning to upgrade his skills technical and academics, so that there will be a rise in his position and salary. Or else if education is also a too costly affair, he can upgrade by learning technical skills, according to his capability, so that he can earn some part time income based on those skills. There are many other part time jobs, depending upon, and the technical and educational qualification of a person, which will enable one ...

Corruption Will Be the End of Indian Society

Corruption is so badly spread in the entire system, that it is hard to find, a sincere person and a clean department or field, where there is no corruption and where there are no corrupt people. If we observe the recent developments, in the political, judicial and other systems, there are many people who are arrested on the basis of corruption. Judges, politicians, IAS officers, even some people belonging to police department, enforcement and anti corruption also. What else, can we say about the rest of the people and departments, when highly educated people, people holding highest ranks in the society and in the government, people who should be exemplary to the normal man, have become corrupt? Corruption has spread not like cancer, but like blood, throughout the system. What is the use, if there are few, common people, who want to be honest and sincere. It is not enough if one; Anna Hazare comes out and raises voice against corruption. It is us, common people,...

Is it true that the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer?

Yes, it is a fact that, rich are getting richer and poor are becoming poorer. The reason is money is not getting evenly distributed in the society. Only few people in the high level are retaining all the money, and are not allowing it to circulate. People who have money, are investing it, and are getting high returns. While the poor, are dying hard to earn mouthful. Employees are always dependent on pay checks, for their living and what they earn is hardly sufficient to meet the needs. The other main reason is that, ever increasing standard of living. All the prices right from the vegetables to fuel are always on raise. But, the income level is the same, on and off when the government employees go on a strike, their pay checks are increased as per pay revision. But, what about, those lakhs of people, working in the private sector and as daily labor. No one is there to listen to them and their problems. More over the increase in unemployment is another major factor, because...

Reasons behind loss of interest in studies

The main reason, as to, why students are losing interest in studies is that, education is thrust upon them as some sort of burden, which they have to bear by compulsion, there is lot of pressure on the students from the college, and parents, as each and every parent wants to see their child as a ranker or as a topper, and corporate colleges are literally squeezing life out of students. Education is no more a self development tool, and a means to acquire worldly knowledge, it has become mere means of earning salary, and to keep oneself ahead in the bread winning race. Lecturers and professors are concerned with completing syllabus and parents are concerned with ranks and grades, but no one is really bothered as to what the student is gaining. Students are expected just to mug up the syllabus and literally vomit it in the exams, nothing else, there is no scope for them to contemplate on the ideas, understand the real concept behind the subject, they are not given the freedom even to ex...

Role of Women in Shaping Society

Women, have a major role in shaping the society, take for example, the great warrior Shivaji, time and again we hear that his mother used to teach him great tales of warriors, and idle persons, and that she played a major role in guiding him and shaping him, as a great person. Though the responsibility of bringing up children is equal to both parents, mother is considered to play a very important role, as she spends more time with children and takes care of them. Today’s children are future citizens of this country, and the way we bring up our children, and shape their character is very important, for the future of the society and the nation as a whole. It is the mother, who teaches a child what is right, what is wrong, what should be the behavior pattern, ethics, morals, fear of and love for God and elders. Each and every thing mother has to teach the child, so directly and indirectly, women has a major role to play in shaping the future citizens, better persons and t...
