A long time without a blog but finally i am back after puja holidays which i enjoyed emmensely with my family back home.This time our community organised the gujrati tradition garva at home, a welcomed change from the moribund local tradition of erecting a pandal at every 100 meter and wasting a lot of resources without any fun. I enjoyed it a lot it was a informal but a decent & worth enjoying way of worshiping the diety in contrast to our formal & boring bhajans & kirtans. Secondly it gave me a lot of intraction with local people which i was creeving to, as i am being out of my home town from last 9 years.
Vacation gives me a lot of free time to read as many books as i can this time i completed three novels "The Firm" by JOhn Grisham by Ken Follet & The God of Small Things
by Arundhati Roy. Reading the third one was the best experience not just because it was my first novel from an indian writer. It was same as watching a hardcore bollywood oldies for the first time after doing a expertise in hollywood big shots. Reading the book i found contrasting way of describing an indian & western incident. There you can rely on lavish & expedient living but while discribing india you will have distress & distress every where after reading the book i came to know of ground reality what we were then........... & what we are now.......... thanks for all the good changes that we as a country managed & sorry for the factors that lead to our failure to get the other good changes which we should have got.But it was a good experience which will intice me to read english novels by indian writers in future too.
In vacation i wasted a lot of my time watching boring stuff in television ( being a kgpian i am bound by the habit of watching a movie daily) what i found was that the number of news channels are increasing at an astronomic rate but it is not variety which is increasing rather it is crap which they are selling. I don't know what is there to know of a village's ridiculous tradition of celebrating dusshera when u have various other serious issues to dig on. whats the use of interviewing each and every member of STF team who were barely able to catch a bandit after 15 years of there formation. it is nothing to boast about rather we should contemplate what had gone wrong so that such a large team with all the resources took so much of time to crack such a uncivilised & unequiped bandit. I do think that the channels are increasing the genral knowledge of public but there information are so much disorganised that rarely one can expert a topic he is deeply concerned in.
Rather than piling up same conceptualised news channel our broadcasting faternity should take initiatives in educating people with there own expertise field like what likes of discovery & national geographic do.I am also perturbed by the working of indian media. Some one has termed media as the forth estate with a purpose of keeping other three state aware of there wrong and good doings & warning them of there demonevours. Rather our indian media shows an exasperating sycophantic characteristic which should not be there in a democracy for it to progress. If i see in retrospect just a year before when vajpayee's govt was at center they were the star of every one's eyes. They were said to be doing a fantastic job by leading the country to an economic boom and making it an hotshot outsourcing destination. They were said to making country a reckoning name by an aggresive foreign policy & increasing forex reserves, of improving the status of living by improved telecom facilities & improving ties with pakistan.
But now i don't know what had gone wrong suddenly that the very same bjp has lost its charm in a short span of 10 months.They have again became an ill managed party with a rss ideology which had gained power by the use of keen communal politics. And the very same sonia gandhi ,who was accused to be a foreigner, whose hindi speeches were edited in english script so that he can murmur something in public gathering, that same lady who once was accused to get all what she had then just because she was the daughter in law of the first (nehru) family of country. The same lady now has became an epitome of dedication & devotion, one who has sacrificed a PM seat for the sake of country. What had brought this sudden change???????????This all happened just because her party, the very same party which had dominated the indian politics for about a century, emerged out as a single largest party(forget about the simple majority too) and was able to form a coalition govt, a highly vulnerable govt whose each and every policies are dictated by the left parties which works on communist ideolgy, which had been rejected as inefficient by the country it has originated from a long time ago.
I am not a ardent BJP supporter or an rss ideology holder but i don't like media to behave in such an immatured manner. Media is the greatest power and a must for a democracy to flourish. But a biased media is a highly repurcussive & selfdistructive entity which can dump a country to its doom. The same media if emphasise more on reporting the wrong policies and illfunctioning of the incumbent government they may become an aid for the functioning of the country & may present a bench mark for the people to know the credibility of a right party.Then only we can make this country a golden bird again. This was quiet boring stuff but as i have stated earlier i am a good reader and i give a lot of thoughts to the current hot issues & all the good and bad thing around me.I do know that some of my thoughts are not quiet ideal but they are acording to my perception which is not matured yet.This is what a serious contemplation is all about. Thank's for bearing me good bye
