With the recent increase in women’s empowerment in India, ironically there has also been an increase in crimes against women. What will it take for a woman to feel safe in our country again? We call India ‘Mother Earth’. Does such an expression really include abusing women and domestic violence against women? From  the past two weeks, crimes against women have been  increasing and curb the freedom of women in the city day by day. The only keywords we hear and read about are as follows: Murder, rape, assault, trauma, infringement, violence, eve-teasing, etc.  Delhi has never been considered the safest city in our country. There are reality shows like ‘Gumraah - The End of Innocence’, ‘Crime Patrol’, among others, that focus on the dismal conditions of women in the city.  In a recent case a Spanish woman was raped and then robbed. However, the person who committed the crime is already out of jail and poses as a threat to other women he’s in cont...

Few days ago, I was travelling via train. A group of people were discussing one particular issue that happened in India. They started saying bad things about the media. I really got frustrated at that point of time. My article is based on people who exploit the media. Even if they don’t like the media, why do people watch news channels? I want to make them understand the importance of news channels. There are more than fifty to seventy-five news channels in India. Every news channel is providing updates to the audience about the issues and events happening in India and the world. Every hour ‘Breaking News’ pop-ups appear. Sometimes breaking news is considered as ‘soft-news’. Does anyone know why media is retrieving information for the audience?  People are used to the wrong words ‘yellow journalism’ or ‘chobis ghante ek hi cheez dikhate hai’. Media today is a profit-drill, where they face competition among the newspapers and more so among television channels. Why is ther...

   When I was in degree college, I went to Hyderabad, Rajasthan, Amritsar and Dalhousie where I enjoyed a lot but I did not think them to be actual industrial visits. When I entered my masters, I found something different and much better than before.    This time, I went to Kerala, where I discovered what a real media tour is. We went to media industries and learnt techniques on how journalists, engineers and other production department people actually work. We got a group project in Kerala, where we got an opportunity to interact with Mumbai university students. We also had a special experience, when we got a chance to present a skit on a ship.     Industrial visits gives students an opportunity to understand the importance of a city as well as to understand the sentiments of its people. The most enjoyable moment is the train journey, which is usually of over 24 hours.     During the journey my friends were reading books, playing...

An internship is a learning basis as well as support to get an experience from reputed channels. I completed two internships and currently proceeding with a third one to get more experience. We were given a certain duration to complete our internship. As per my experience, I learnt all the things which are the most essential requirements for our future. To be a professional media person, one must go through this period of learning at a certain level.  Basically, we worked as Asst. Reporters and Asst. Editor for outdoor shoots to understand the concept of field work. there were also separate sessions to understand the concept of journalism for interns which is usually taught by senior (Reporters and Cameramen). For outdoor shoots I got an opportunity to interview Harbhajan Singh, Y. P. Singh, Anupam Kher, Mahesh Jethmalani, Rahul Narvekar and many more famous personalities. I was more interested in  covering stories of general beats which   included politics, cri...

   Before we attend a lecture, it’s necessary to mark yourself present in the college canteen to meet close friends. In the canteen, we don’t regularly have food but spend time with friends by clicking pictures, collecting notes, celebrating birthday parties and do a lot more. This is a perfect setting for students to move ahead with life as there are a number of alternatives in the menu – the gupshup and movie plans.    We normally get food for cheap prices in the canteen, and that too an enormous quantity. Even if we have any special dietary requirements, there is no need to worry. Canteen provides us stuff as per our request, and we enjoy it a lot. Even though it’s available for a reasonable price, a group of people can contribute and buy it at an ever cheaper cost.    It is entertaining when some outsiders come to our college and play some musical instrument as well as give us a task to perform in front of everyone. All insane friends get inv...

   A former cricketer, Vinod Kambli, played some good matches for India a few decades ago. After 15 years, he’s coming out with baseless allegations against Mohammad Azharuddin, claiming that Azhar is responsible for fixing the 1996 World Cup semi-final match against Sri Lanka.     Vinod Kambli always wants to be on television, as any viewer can notice. He entered reality shows like Bigg Boss, Sach Ka Samnaa, etc. and has now become an expert on news channels.     On the issue of the said match, according to Kambli, if Azharuddin had elected to bat first, it would have resulted in an easy win for India. However, I’d say team spirit is equally important in achieving this goal. Though Kambli doesn’t have evidence, he continues over-reacting and crying on television. Even if investigations begin, it would be difficult to get proof after 15 years. As Azharuddin rightly said, the decision was unanimous and collective, and Kambli happened to be...

A few days ago everyone got their results, and finally everyone, including me, became a graduate. Everyone was happy because some of my friends got a first class or distinction. However, deep inside I was a bit sad. My friends, who had been with me all along, were now leaving me.    Every day, I use to come in the morning, not to attend lectures, but to meet my friends. Time is so precious, because with it everything changes. Some of my friends decided to study further in other states and others decided to leave this country. I was quite shocked to hear about it, but then career is most important at this point of time. In fact, some of my friends are working right now, even as others are studying in Bangalore and a few are busy packing their bags for London. Thankfully, some are happy continuing in the city itself.    Sometimes, it’s very difficult to communicate with friends due to some reason or the other. But, thanks to social networking sites, we can at le...

   Travelling by train is my passion and since the past six years, I’ve been using the Western Railway. The local trains are truly Mumbai’s lifeline with lakhs of people commuting daily. People who travel long distances pass their time by playing cards, singing bhajans, reading tabloids, etc.     One of the biggest problems commuters face is catching a train during rush hour. At that time commuters are often sandwiched inside the compartment worse than a pack of sardines as each one tries to get a foothold inside the train. Commuting is an uphill task for Mumbaikars. While many have accepted it as a part of their daily routine and painstakingly take the effort of renewing their monthly railway passes, 10 to 15 per cent of the commuters travel without tickets daily, which is an offence and a big loss to the Railways too.     Many of these include hawkers and people who try to cheat their way through in the trains, thus depriving others commu...

   “Respect, humanity, unity is more important in call centre; Performance is necessary, think twice before you enter”. Previously, I always use to think my communication skills were much better than others. On that basis, I decided to work in call centre as a part timer. Anyhow I prepared for an interview and they selected me. I found that was one of my biggest achievements. The biggest disadvantage needs to sit for training more than nine hours, which is very difficult for me to endure. For one particular product, the information has being downloaded to our mind. I started learning lot of things which I consider most precious part of my life. The most precious thing I learnt was communication skills.     On that basis, I started taking calls and completed few months. I found that working in such large reputation company, management was quite well maintained. Last time, I learnt about Henry Fayol who made his 14 principles about management. Now I can see my...

When i am disappointed, i dint get any proper support, I tried to call my friends, but they dint try to revert. I dint understand why people are not getting my point, Why they were focusing on one person, seems i should throw some coins. Everyday i log in into a social networking sites, Nobody responds properly and they all start to fight. Sometimes i call my compound friends to talk, But all are committed and already went for long walk. Hearing the same music, watching the same video bugged me everytime, What's my fault? What's my mistake? Have i dont any some unforgivable crime? Projects, assignments and other stuffs are already prepared, I the first to complete the stuff and still nobody cares. How i am feeling lonely, nobody can understand? I love my family and professors; they will know me, when i will be in demand

Students enter the library to study, The guys are busy looking at the beauties, Students are discussing about studies related matter, Few of them busy in writing love letters.   Students are having a general discussion in the library, Many of them writing something in their own personal diary. Few of them busy reading the newspaper, Hiding something from their bag in front of seniors and they are busy having wafers.   We consider the college library as our temple, Some of them are busy looking at each others dimples. Some of them busy on their mobile phones to text friends, Students get inside the table to text and they bend.   No matter what library, it is the best place to discuss about studies especially when you’re with friends, But looking at more than 5000 books in the library some of the students feel dead. If students are in the library they need to maintain discipline, But it only works whe...

A person to whom we believe and love the most, They are called the true dost. Minor mistakes can break our heart, That blunder repeats in our mind and it really hurts.  Many times we try to ignore and remove the virus, But love, affection and friendship is most important, we can’t even minus. Why can’t I sleep at night, Can’t stop my tears and again it really hurts.  Each and every moment, is always so special, A lonely person can understand, by looking at every previous visual. A mistake can be positive or negative, Even if a fight begins, it can be stopped easily.  Am I so precious and fun loving that I can bring a smile on everyone’s face, If that person hurts me, then 24x7 I am a trouble and mess. I don’t want to get hurt or hurt someone, It's very important that sometimes we must listen to our heart.

While moving ahead in my life, you have always been supportive, I pray for myself, friends, and family and for my relatives. You fulfilled all my wishes and they have come true, Every work I have done, nothing remains due.  Giving importance to you is my duty and passion, Everyone understands you my God that’s why every one follows you, in the entire nation. I believe in every religion and follow each one of them, Life is very tough and easy, even you can play games.  Everything is incomplete with you my God, Even if we speak from our heart, you will note down every word. You have given power to think and work on that basis, I am ready to accept any challenges and handle any cases.    I love you; I care for you because you are the only one, who can make miracles, Even if you need us anytime, just give us one signal. This is the most precious time that you fulfilled my close friend’s wishes, I’ll work hard for whatever yo...

When I feel lonely, I talk to (you) my shadow, Sometimes I get grumpy, I communicate with my voice low. For you the different term is also called a mirror, A child gets shocked and this situation he/she will consider horror.  I always consider you as my twin brother, I share my loneliness with lots of feelings by not thinking about others.                                                        It seems you always follow, to give me immense support, When I fly by plane, I cry for you and say goodbye at the airport.  I like the way you instantly respond by your non verbal communication, Even if a robber wants to steal something, you give signals to the person. Thanks a lot for helping and staying with me 24X7, A deceased (death) person can’t see you, when they are already in heaven.

It has been 12 years since I have seen your face, A lot of issues had happened when we were in a mess. Nobody is trying to understand me, when I’m sad, Where are you, where are you, where are you Dad? I still remember when you used to come home from work, You always gifted me something with a warm hug. I was wrong, I was an idiot, I was stubborn, and I was bad, Where are you, where are you, where are you Dad?  I achieved a lot of things in my life with your blessings, With difficulty and terrible situations, I handled those cases. I always miss you when I pray for my family like mad, Where are you, where are you, where are you Dad? The House is incomplete without our family tree, Face me, call me, and hurt me, whenever you’re free. This is the worst experience which I ever had, Where are you, where are you, where are you Dad? In future, I don’t know how I’ll handle the pain, You are the best person to help me and have a perfect brain. Thanks f...

People in a relationship always talk about their love life,  But it never moves ahead, till a guy gets a perfect wife. People discuss their experiences, when they’re already broke, A time comes when one committed person think that love is a joke. It hurts someone’s emotions, few people may never know, They fall in love with each other, as the relation starts to grow. Some of them like to show off, when coupled with each other, A single life can be called a freedom, where we don’t need to bother. Life is full of family pressure and responsibility, which are difficult to tackle, Being in a relationship is distractive when we see it from a different angle.  Aggressiveness is shown towards each other in a wrong way, 24x7 you’ll think about the situation, and later it becomes your worst day. You’ll love your life while spending time with your close friends,  You’ll have more time for them and it never ends. Freedom and life ca...

Getting variety of information from internet, Let’s pray to God, we’ll definitely achieve the target.

Aamir khan raised social issues in his own way, We can see the changes in every state day by day. As per his requirement he got support from ministers, As per our pledge now boys will find a number of sisters. Killing girls or abortion will not happen in our country, Even girls can earn and fulfill their requirements especially monetary. Getting a lot of support from common man and media, Satyajit and Aamir raised their voices and it’s not a bad idea.   We got emotional and cried after watching this show, Now, minister and police have the right time to blow. It’s very encouraging and supportive that Aamir’s production has taken an initiative and steps, If wrong things happen then every minister and doctor will be suspended and they will be in a mess. We salute to the core of our heart Aamir Khan, We try to contribute and donate for this show especially every fan. If every person stands up and raises their voice it will...
