This sad plight of our national news channels is really worth pondering .

A one hour show on Shah Rukh Khan being molested in the USA, Rakhi Sawant swayamvar being telecast of national news channel , Prince a small boy from Kurukshetra trapped in a hole , these are just a few stories presented on our national news channels . This sad plight of our national news channels is really worth pondering .

Is it the dearth of news or just a publicity stunt to promote the TRPs. News channels stoop to new lows with each passing day. Theses days they ll telecast anything and everything but news. They hate to present news but instead take pride in interviewing a publicity hungry star(actor).News of film star marrying somebody , teasing somebody, or worse still the color of his underwear is being shown to the citizens. As it is the entertainment channels are full of crap that whenever an individual wants to escape from them , news channels welcomes them by one foolish act of one form or another.

Media has always been sighted as a reason for our working democracy and the print media still remains a potent force but one cant say the same about the 24 hour news channels .India gives the Right to Speech to everyone of its citizens .We don’t follow any kind of censorships(except for deleting the explicit content ) .Anybody in India can write whatever he or she feels like . The government of the day can’t or prohibit him at least in principle. But it does not mean that we misuse the liberty that has been bestowed on us.

News Readers and his teammates must take responsibility as mature citizens to telecast the appropriate . The main aim of the news channels is to inform the citizens of what is happening in India and across the world .Who the hell is interested in watching a cribbing Saas Bahu serial on a news channel

Maybe they reason that they don’t have enough substance to telecast for 24 hours continuously, well in that case they might resort to some discretion and get off air until some news pops up or a more practical solution could be that each news channel be allotted a time slot .During this slot it is required to telecast the news and happenings of the world and India .In this way news channels get a fair share and the common man also gets respite from the bullshit items .by doing this news quality would improve and the media person would start respecting our democracy and our freedom of speech

But if these solutions are too harsh then they could resort to showing some meaningfull documentaries , inspiring stories of individuals who made it good despite the odds. in their free time Something meaningful , something inspiring is always welcome and it would also improve there much needed trps

Media has always been considered as a potent force .24 Hour channels should not be treated as a corporate business house where in the profit generation is the ultimate motive. It seems these channels get started up with political backing , but due to lack of news theses people start showing cows , buffaloes , anything which comes in front of the camera

Lets leave entertainment to Bollywood , Tollywood and Hollywood .and concentrate on presenting good news for once at least

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Vastu & karma: Can spaces carry energetic debt?

Ever walked into a room and felt an inexplicable heaviness? According to vastu shastra, our living spaces can absorb and reflect our karmic energies. This article explores the connection between vastu and karma, signs of negative energy in your home, and practical steps to cleanse and harmonize your space. What is vastu shastra and how does it relate to karma? Vastu Shastra, often referred to as the "science of architecture," is an ancient Indian system that outlines principles for designing and organizing spaces to promote harmony and prosperity. Rooted in the belief that the physical environment significantly influences our lives, Vastu emphasizes the balance of the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—to create a conducive living atmosphere. Karma, on the other hand, is a fundamental concept in Indian philosophy that denotes the law of cause and effect. It suggests that our actions, intentions, and thoughts have consequences that shape our present and f...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
