ARE WE REALLY DEVELOPING?

Yesterday i was watching a debate on a news channel about the development programme of the newly elected UPA government.There was a Representative from the government side was replying most of the quarries of the people.But he was not able to satisfy the people by his answers,he was blaming state government for everything wrong and failure of every plan of the Centrel government but he was eager to take the cradit of every thing good has happened.

One of the attendant asked that when we were young we heard that India is a developing nation,now when we have reached at the third stage of the age we are still listening the same line,will we able to listen that India is a developed country?

This question was not only the best question of the debate but it was a slap on the face of all the governments those ruled India since we have got Independence.

Actually when these kind of questions are asked to any government representative you will get some complicated answers which contain a lot of figures made by the government agencies.

For example,if you will ask ,what are you doing to reduce the poverty? you will be given such examples as,the use of the cellphone is increasing the most in our country,people in rural areas has bought the most number of the two-wheelers in the particular year etc.

These figures are actually true but they are not the picture of whole the country.Actually the use of cellphones and the other products are the results of the blindly followed globalisation.We are using the cellphone in most numbers because they are compelling us to use,MNCs are trapping us.They are teaching us to use unnecessary things and to be the slaves of them.

I often sees some foolish surveys in the newspapers or on tv stating that India is developing because the sale of cars is increasing.I mean what is this rubbish?We have the biggest slum of the Asia.We have more than 70% population live below poverty level,then how can you say that India is developing only because of the increasing sale of the cars?

After the 60 years of the independence we the Indian people are still talking to get the basic facilities like roads,houses and food etc.Elections are contested on the basis of caste and religion.We have one of the poorest infrastructure in the world.

Actually our governments never care for the public,they don't want to solve the problems because if they solve how would they fight the next election?how would they blame the opposition for all the wrong with the country?.

I'm not happy to say but I must say that its true that we can never be developed in these kind of circumstances.We all need to be changed , government and we the commons.

SORRY HOCKEY!

Indian Women Hockey Team was going to Russia to play a tournament but it returned from the Airport Because it didn't have the Transit Visa.Any one could easily see the pain on the faces of the team members at that time.

This incident shows that how serious is our country for the games and sports.I was watching the interviews of the different people belong to the team but no one was ready to take the responsibility of the mistake,everyone was trying to blame each other.

I want to ask a question,Why it never happened with Cricket Team?

I mean how can the management be so careless!
Actually the meaning of sports has restricted to cricket in our country.Every one is crazy for that.Cricket makes headlines of the day.Even we heard some voices to make cricket our National Game few months ago.How shameful it is!

Hockey which was the identity of Indian sports,is facing such a bad time.Last year our Men's team could not qualify in the world cup.That happened first time in the history of world Hockey that Indian team could not qualify for a tournament.The game which gave us 8 golds in raw makes no news now.

Media tell us the schedule of Cricket months before but we don't know anything about Hockey and other games.Why?

This incident has explored the hidden condition of hockey and the women's teams of any game is so miserable in our country.

Really shameful.

GOOD BYE! EKTA KAPOOR...

Finally the stupid torture has came to an end.

There was a time when there used to be a single black & white TV set in whole the locality.On sunday morning all the neighbours used to gather at the place where TV is present.At that time there was no cable war,we had only one channel to watch 'Door-Darshan'

The day Begin with the combination of old and new songs with programme called 'Rangoli'.Then all time great epic Ramayana was telecast at 9 am.i can't forget how crazy was everyone about that religious soap.We could see many worshiping the TV sets.

After that there used to be a lot of programmes of different variety for all ages.There were serials like 'Ek-Do-Teen-Chaar' for children,'Buniyaad' for elders,'Hum Log','Nukkad' etc.The day used to pass with a healthy entertainment with a movie in the evening.

Then time changed and market is flooded with hundreds of channels.In the 90s Ekta kapoor came and gave small screen a new face.A face of changing time.People like that,but all the producers including Ekta kapoor got sick of their success.They started thinking that viewers are fools.They started stretching their soaps like a never ending chewing-gum.It was like someone playing chess alone,and he can do whatever he wants.It was really stupid,but a majority of female audience love this nonsense.As a result small screen lost the male viewers.Now men watched TV for cricket and news only.

But as everything have to meet an end,this nonsense also has got recently.A new channel 'COLORS' started which gave audience a variety with the well made soaps,those have touched the heart of viewers.That's we were waiting for! It presented shows like 'Baalika-Vadhu' which has the true India.'Jai Sri Krishna' whose cute kid won the hearts of millions and the reality show like'Khatron ke Khilaadi'.

As a result rest of the channels which were ruling the TV for last 10 years lost most of the viewers.The producers got panic.

Last month 'SONY ENTERTAINMENT' started a few new soaps saying that 'BADAL RAHE HAI NHUM,KYON KI BADAL RAHE HAIN AAP' (we are changing,because you are changing).i say 'my dear you have to! otherwise you will not survive!'

Finally we have got the relieve from that nonstop stupidity,started by Ekta kapoor,and TV has got back male audience also.

But one more thing that all those are starting new things have should remember that they should not follow the same policy,followed by Ekta Kapoor.They should start a soap,run it fast and give it a nice ending.

I would also like to remind that There was a soap on 'SAB TV' named 'LOVE STORY' I have seen very few such well made soaps on TV.It was directed by Anurag Basu it ran fast and came to an end in an year.I like that,and i didn't feel bore even in a single episode.So the new arrivals should remember that they should not try to stretch the story,they should give it an end as soon as possible and then they should come with another nice concept.

OVER HYPED SANIA MIRZA

Sania Mirza,the first woman tennis sensation of India.Yes everyone says that,but i'm not completely agree with this.

It's true that she gave a new direction to the Indian sports,before her all the attention was on cricket.Cricket still occupy the top position in India but now we have learnt to enjoy other sports also.So the credit for this goes to her.For that she should be praised.

But i think that she is over hyped by all the media,and that has let the other good sports persons down.just Tell me what has she done?She has just won a single tournament,that was also in India,In which she had not to face any strong top seed contender.In all other seasons of the world she has not done better yet.She just cross a round or two and get out of the tournament,I have got very irritated seeing the news of her,but the media still use the word 'sensation' for her.Why?

The reason is very simple and some people will not like to read it here,they would say that i have a cheap mentality.But it's true that she get the attention because she looks good,She is sexy girl,and people like to watch her as an eye candy.SORRY SANIA but its true.Media also knows this fact that's why it gives her more attention than any other sport.

Last week as usual when she got out from the French Open,the usual news was there in the news papers.But the space given to her was larger than other sports news.

Now i will tell you what has done in the last week for Indian sports,around the world:

MAY 25TH:

A.Sharat Kamal played the final of Commonwealth Table Tennis in Glasgow.

Ram Asrey Yadav won silver of Judo in Chinese Taipei.

L.Haridas won 3golds and 4 silvers of Asia Grand Pre at Tehran.


MAY 28th:

Sangram Dahia won 2 golds in Junior Shot gun Invitation Championship in Finland.

Rashmi Chakroverty played the semi final of Women Future Tournament.



MAY 30th:

Shreyashi Singh won a gold of shooting in a tournament in Finland.

Sandeep Singh won silver in AIBA world Junior Boxing in Armenia

Surender Singh won 3 golds in 3000m. race in Hongkong.

Ravinder Kumar and Sandeep Kumar won silver and bronze respectively in the same event.

Saina Nehwal got hte rank 7 in the World Badminton.

This all happened last week but none of them got the attention of media.They has just got almost an invisible corner in the news papers,and totally missed by electronic media.but if Sania would have managed to reach ahead in French Open that would be a whole day story for all the news channels.So are these sports persons less eligible or these sports have less importance for them,or tennis and cricket need more talent than these sports mentioned above?

But our media works for TRP,they say themselves that 'JO DIKHTA HAI,WO BIKTA HAI'(one which ha glamour,is popular)


Sania just participate in a tournament plays a match or two and got out.it happens every time.But media still loves her.

I think Saina Nehwal is the best ever female sports person from India ever but i don't know why media not active for her.She has got the 7th rank in her sport that was always a dream for Sania.

Its media has made her a star,its not bad to do but its their responsibility to catch all the others sports persons also.When she is hyped by media parents started to let their children in to tennis,and i'm sure that if media would understand its responsibility,we would have a lot of gold in the Olympics.

So my request to media:Please do your work sincerely.You can create a lot of sports stars.By doing this at least you can encourage players to do much better in their next attempt.You just need to give hype to the star of the day.Sania is not the only player in the world.

HELL! 'DOWN UNDER'

NO,THIS IS NOT ABOUT ROADIES 6.0.

Its about whatever is happening with Indian Students in Australia.

What has happened,we all know,i want to discuss,why it happened?
India has been a land of peace and knowledge forever.We the indians have given a lot to the world.To respect our guests is our tradition and culture.History says that we have welcomed everyone in our country,and others used to take benefit of that quality of ours.Instead of that we still worship our guests.

Foreign invaders has looted India many times.They had made us poor.British tried to prove that we are senseless,ill mannered and fools.They invaded us but we defeated them peacefully.

Back to present:
when we got the independence,we started progressing,and today world is afraid of that success also.

Once western mothers used to say to their kids,"finish your food baby!, do you know people are dying hungry in India." but now mothers of west say,"Baby please complete your homework,do you know,Indians are ready to grab your job."

Others had tried to win the world by force but we the Indians know,how to win the world by our brains,and we actually have been doing that for a long time.We are still the master of the world and rest of the world is afraid of this.

Its recession time and the population of no country wants person from any other nation to work in their country,but we are the first choice of everyone,because we have the knowledge,we have the guts and we have the attitude.We are innocent people,we love our work,we are faithful.

So every where people are afraid of our talent.they looted us by force and their cunning tactics but we over come them without any force in their own country.

I was so glad to hear the news that Mr. Amithabh Bachhan has refused to accept the honour which was to be given him from an Australian University,saying that "I can't accept the reward from a country where the students of my country are being attacked."he has won the hearts of everyone by doing that and also showed that how patriotic he is! and how much he love the respect of the nation.

Finally i want to say that its a tough time for the Indian students in Australia but i know we will win this war,by the well known quality of ours 'peace'.

And my message to the rest of the world-"you'd better win us by your love"
