Election in India is crime against humanity ... !!!

Standing with a hope in queue of Elections ---is actually  trading of votes in India ...!!!

I experienced a terror of Hope ...  spent an entire day of Voting on polling booth  ... !!!! It Gave me the feeling that Voting in India and especially elections is like crime against humanity... !!!! I don't know why these people vote, what do they get .... ? And that too for Loksabha....??? (I know I may sound undemocratic, lunatic but this thought came to my mind, so I am putting it.)

What is the thing that drive these people to come to polling booth--- first time voters, 70+ age group people, labour class, Leprosy patient, fractured patients,  the elite who criticise politics  were also in queue... People were coming with family to vote...!!! What is this... ???? I simply fail to understand this ...!!!

 I am finding democracy as a curse on people who are becoming victim of this democratic process and freedom in democracy , where are we heading ?????...money and gifts distribution to buy votes, promises and gifts  to lure the voters ,  some of the voters were scared of that machine, don't know how to vote, the administrative blunders causing problem and discouraging voters... wastage of paper to the maximum level... inefficiency, but enthusiasm to work on election duty...!!! Loads of waste is created - Banners, pamphlets, hoardings, etc.....!!!!(Please do not comment here that people are getting job because of this banner and all .)

OUR PEOPLE ARE REALLY TIRED WITH ISSUES AND PEOPLE PROMISING TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES... LIKE ME THEY WISH TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING... BUT THEY DECIDE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENT AND GIVE A TRY FOR BETTER ONE, OR FORGIVE THE PREVIOUS ONE...!!!! ELECTION IN INDIA IS VERY AMBITIOUS PROJECT , BUT THE SUBJECTS ARE NOT SO HOPEFUL ABOUT THE OUTCOME... THEY FEEL NOTHING WOULD CHANGE, BUT WE WILL DO WHAT WE COULD DO, AND VOTING IS NOT A BIG DEAL...!!!!

HOW TO BUILD THIS HOPE AND CONVERT THIS HOPE INTO A REALITY  IS THE TASK BEFORE US....!!!

Husshhhhh.. this elections in India....!!!!

let us hold hands together to clean Indian politics .... !!! Come , dare to vote , and vote for change ... !!!

Whatever ... but there are butterflies in my stomach .. It is really wonderful feeling, I was never excited to this level about exercising my voting right and campaigning for a party..  This time I don't have to choose between worst.. I have a straight forward clean and efficient choice AAP candidate (Prof. Subhash Ware).. And I am extremely proud about the choice I am making. I know I am voting with a purpose..!!!

I am least bothered about the result, but I know I can tune in with the agenda of AAP... The agenda has set huge responsibilities for us... Voting is just the beginning of the work...  We have to dig the issues, understand them, build the process about how we can work on it. We don't have to be politician or a parliamentarian to work on national issues but we can contribute to the same by being what we are .. this is the essence  of AAP .. Politics is not the game of bloody corrupt, communal, castiest and hypocrite people... Politics is all about you and me ... We have to take decision for ourselves... It is high time now, we have to be responsible for the choices we make... !!!

Remember our constitution says "WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation"

So the choice is very clear, do not follow the crowd, family ,religion,, community  follow your own voice, the voice which needs attention since decades, One vote can make a difference, your vote can change the system.... Be the beginner, stop repeating the mistakes, make a new mistake .. And this time we would be responsible for our mistakes... let us hold hands together to clean Indian politics .... !!! Come , dare to vote , and vote for change ... !!!

:) 

Observe yourself and Absorb yourself...!!!

The faith you have within,  let it not perish, don't jump to conclusions ,
but be a silent storm, like a breeze,
which flows within, and disturbs none...!!!

Everything is so simple, it only seems difficult,
Each knot has a role, a purpose, let it be the way it is,
Force creates a resistance, and brings stains ..!!!

Could be yourself..?
for long you have been some one else ,
observe yourself, and absorb yourself...!!!

.
:)

Though not satisfied, yet a sigh of relax... !!! Yesss ... Rapist would be hanged ...!!!

I don't wish to dwell into the theories of punishment, whether death penalty should be given or no ...As rape is very-much conscious effort  to murder the dignity of the individual with force...!!! The rapist need no mercy in respect of punishment and rehabilitation. This predetermined force (to rape someone)- to overpower someone and enjoy the process need a strong answer like death penalty, these shameless people must experience death...they should be killed, ...!!!

Though I have an extremely heavy feeling on whole issue. But the state of being uncomfortable for long disturbs the efforts of ours which are trying to establish peace in our life. Raping someone is an attitude which is hard to be amended or improved. Rape is one of the most heinous crime than any other crime existed in these so called "humane civilization". I always believe in this "Granting human rights to the culprits would means denying human rights to innocent".

Sympathy is ok ... but empathy is need of the hour .. !!!

Sympathy is ok ... but empathy is need of the hour .. !!! 
An argument in the organ donation awareness drive at zensar... !!

A person- We cannot make a person immortal by donating the organ ...the reciepient is definitely going to die some day.. then why donate.. ?

I - sir we can increase the life span of a person when our lives end.. 

Person- but i believe in rebirth , so the person is going to take birth again... why create intervention by this donation, let that person die and take rebirth...

I- sir can you guarantee the person's rebirth... ?

Person - many patients die after transplantation ... then ... ?
I - sir this not compulsory.. its your wish ...

Person- i am anyways not going to donate , i just wanted to convince that you are creating an intervention .....

I - sir.. do you take medicine when u r ill or do you have meal when u r hungry.. ?

Person - excuse me i have call... !!!!

And he didn't turn back...
So this is how some over intelligent people drain their energy and are always dissatisfied , negative about life even in BMW... !!

But i was extremely pleased by some generous people around.. they were few .. but they were determined about the progessive mindset and were rational enough to pledge for organ donation ... !!!
Thank you akshay for ur support.... 

It is not about whom you support, you just don't be on the side of injustice ..!!!

The story of protest..!!!
FTII protest # AISA Protest # Against brutal attack by ABVP activist#

Students : Inqlab Zindabad .. we want freedom of expression..!!!
Police : Students you cannot protest , as you would be attacked again by the activist ..!! 
Students : lets see , this is a silent protest ...!!
Police : You would be arrested , if you protest..!!!
Students : We all are ready ...!!!
Police: you can only protest till NFAI ...!!!
Students : we everyday go there...we want people to know how an idea to express is being killed and attacked .. We want freedom without fear ...we will go till omkareshwar bridge (Place where Dr. Dabolkar was killed )!!
Police: We cannot give you the permission to protest ...!!!
And the surrounded the entry with their vehicles and police force having lathi and guns with them...

I was wondering about the statements from police , "you are not allowed... you cannot protest .... you can protest here only..." Shame ..!!! They cannot even assure the security to students who were fighting for there own rights ... this was absolutely ridiculous...!!

...... for one and half hours we all students were protesting with songs, slogans, some play were set on the main gate ..!!! By the time discussion was going on with Police regarding permission , Mukta Manonar Comrade she took permission and gave a letter to police .. And we were allowed to protest silently, with posters and banners and black ribbon on our mouth ...!!!

We started the march from FTII and reached the place where the idea (Dr.Dabholkar) was attacked and killed , no body attacked us, no body arrested us...!!!

I don't know what and how it would bring change, but yess I was happy to see the force against injustice, everybody was a volunteer and a voice of his /her own against injustice..!!! It is not about whom you support, you just don't be on the side of injustice ..!!!
We are Grateful to Mukta Manohar Comrade .. !!! Laal Salaam...!!!!

“Against the Tide”

If you are simply addicted to read , read and read for getting introduced to new concepts. Just to expand your horizon of thinking through reading. And in this process you learn lessons in life, which may be a key in your complex life. I am an avid reader on blogs. I have come across a blog “Against the Tide” which is simply dedicated to students of mass media by a journalist, Joe Pinto.

I being a media student know Pinto sir at our college for his lectures on feature writing. He was the strictest among all professors. But he was most concerned about the writing style and teaching the art of writing to students from the bottom of his heart. For this very reason he created a blog “Against the Tide”. 

“Against the Tide”, is open for discussions and comments and putting forward doubts related to mass media and communication. Since Joe Pinto sir has a varied experience in the field of journalism he guides and enlightens students based on his experience.

He had held various positions in his career of journalism few of them are Editor of Gomantak Times, Assistant Editor of Maharashtra Herald, a consultant at Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana, on their Trustee Empowerment and Teacher Training programmes, and also as a visiting faculty in mass media institutes and colleges. 

The aim of “Against the Tide” is to keep increasing the strength and faith of the students in journalistic principles, values and ethics. To build a set of connections of journalists, who think for themselves and will not, therefore, put up for sale themselves as the "stenographers of corporate power" in the pursuit of "manufacturing consent" or knitting the public opinion.

The blog further aims to help student like us stand firm to the lure of mass media, especially due to corporate influence. Also to encourage the media student to cherish and uphold their own consciences; to learn how to keep listening to own self even in chaotic situations. Some times we feel media in crisis, when we come across the examples of journalist in the present issues of scams. But People like Pinto sir, helps us to rekindle our faith in journalism.

 

“Against the Tide” has helped me a lot in clarifying my doubts, as Pinto sir not only gives you fish to eat for the day but he teaches how to catch fish by giving us a net of knowledge in the field of mass media.
