After the pune blast, i was thinking why dosent media cover stories on people who had helped the injured persons in the blast? They must have removed them from the area along with police,helped them into a ambulance; may have arranged for blood donation by contacting there friends!
Why cant their life be investigated more and present them before us as News!! Rather than showing Sansani which focuses more on the life of a criminal!Cant we not make some positive stories? Stories about the life of the above mentioned people who must have helped the blast victims?

Open letter to Indian Media
A article by Rajdeep Sardesai
http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/rajdeepsardesai/1/61523/an-open-letter-to-uddhav-thackeray.html
In which he sends an open letter to Uddhav Thackray.In the article Rajdeep talks about an interview he had with Uddhav,in which Uddhav said that he wants to concentrate on farmers suicide issue in Maharashtra and work for rural Maharashtra and other things.Rajdeep says Uddhav has forgotten all that and is back to the Sena ways of violence.
I want to ask Rajdeep one question- why he and the Indian media gives so much coveragae to what Sena and MNS does, Why cant you guys concentrate on some things which are more Important for India?. You criticise them for raking up un-important issues, but what do u guys do? you do the same thing by givng maximum coverage to it!! You can easily ignore such happenings by giving them a very small time on your News Channel.
But i forgot one thing - News channels also needs hot topic to discuss right? Hot debate, people shouting at each other on talk shows!!That is when you guys get TRP!!It's a game of TRP my dear Rajdeep,right?.And practice first what you preach to others my friend and for heaven's sake give Prime Time coverage to the things that really MATTER to India.A film's release being postponed or controversy on it is HARDLY an issue which should be taken up by Media with such Intensity.We want to see some Contructive Journalism from Indian Media!
And on the MNIK movie issue which is in News Media since a Fortnight now and the coverage still continues, It really feels as if the whole media is actually promoting the Movie itself,such is the coverage time given to the movie of Shahrukh!!

The real face of Pakistan!!
The article takes a stand!!
http://news.rediff.com/column/2010/feb/02/why-pakistan-can-never-be-a-great-neighbour.htm
Dont miss the Cricket Sohail Tanvir's remark " Hinduon ki zahaniyat hi aisi hai" on a TV show titled 'A morning with Farah' on ATV, a Pakistan channel.To which the investigator replies that Indians are baniyas and says: "bagal me chhuri/ muuh me Ram Ram'" types.
Yes Sohail Tanvir's the same person who played for Rajasthan in IPL and took loads of money back to Pakistan

Shahrukh Khan row
Rajeep Sardesai on twitter "shahrukh says he wont apologise to sena. stick to that srk. would hate to see you having to do a kj and scrape before the thackerays."
Going back to the Karan Johar topic where he used Bombay instead of Mumbai in his Movie,i cant understand why would you do that? Isnt it simple to just change the name to Mumbai when you find it in your Script? Even when the Actors would say "Bombay" during the shoot,anyone can point it out at that instant itself! Its so easy to avoid this controversy.Unless you want to do it on Purpose!!
Why to give a chance to Sena/Mns to create ruckus and stop the running of the shows?
And by the way,Can anyone dare call Kolkata as Calcutta in the West Bengal state now? or say call Madras instead of Chennai in the Tamilnadu state, maybe in films or anywhere else in newspapers?

No Kashmiri Apples for me.....
2 days, 2 cities and 25 bomb blasts!! I think no other country would have had some many blasts in history than India has had. And the result? We are gearing up for many more!! Seriously, is anything concrete in place to stop these attacks or preempt them? We are woefully short of police force and armymen.And what can they do if some of the people in this country are actually silent supporters of these terrorists or who actually help them execute their horrid plans in their own country!
Some time back in Times of India I saw a graphical representation of number of blasts that have taken place in India since the year 2005 and I could see that every nook and corner of the country have had blasts since then! People got sms on cell phone that one should avoid going to crowded areas or malls and multiplexes in nagpur during independence day week but wait; is it not exactly what the terrorists want? Frightened public, no business, markets crashing, They not only take human lives but also cripple the economy and thus hurts each and every person of this country. So human lives are not the only things that are casualties in such cases, but whole business gets affected!
Nowadays everyday in TV news we can see that Kashmir is on fire, the Azadi slogans have again returned in the valley but we can see the actual difference in Kashmir and Jammu! The people in Kashmir are actually against the transfer of land to Amarnath Shrine board but in Jammu people want the land to be transferred! In the news we see that mobs in Kashmir giving slogans against India and want Kashmir to be separated from India or be merged with Pakistan! It’s really sad to see Pakistani flags being flagged in our own country.
They also say that India has blocked the national highways hurting kashimiri’s economically and no business is taking place which is untrue. But wait; see the double standard!! They actually want to merge with Pakistan but want their business with India to do well!! They are not ready to give land to people in this country but when money matters business wise they need India!! They say blocking the highways is an act of War by India but when they kill innocent people in or around country that’s not act of war but freedom struggle! So to sell their apples India is needed but what they want to give in return? Nothing… oh sorry bloodshed!! Bombs!! Sorry, this is not a one way traffic! So for me no apples from Kashmir!! I am happy with the Shimla ones…..

UPA Government Survives!
So after a long 10 day ritual of exchanging money before trust vote, finally the Govt survives. It was nothing but a show where the party which paid the most or promised the most to the MP’s to woo them in favor of their party was going on. No loyalties, no inhibitions of accepting money, no accountability towards the people who helped them elected to the seat was considered. Open horse trading show!!
It was disgusting to see the parties organizing meeting in 5 star hotels and holding down their horses so that others would not poach them! So much for loyalty towards party or following certain ideologies and seek vote projecting them before people. The drama this time didn’t end outside the parliament but it came out in open view before the public where some MP’s showing stacks of money having the great man Gandhi imprints on the bills who is said to be the father of nation! Good that he passed away long back…
There’s also a news going around that CNN IBN had made a sting operation where it has got Amar Singh and Ahmad Patel offering 1 crore to MP’s on tape, but god knows why they chose not to show it, so now even media cannot take tough decisions where big wigs are involved…

Kurta!!
Had a very hectic last weekend. Attended one marriage aniversay dinner, been to Kelzar ganpati darshan, Bore Dam etc and attended sangeet/coctail night just before the marriage of a very close friend and ofcource marriage on Monday and reception at night!
Every part of body is aching so much, because I don’t know when was the last time I danced around 4 hours inside 12 hours! Lots of crackers, lots of non veg, booze, a typical Punjabi wedding.Felt great to be in touch with old friends, one came from Dubai, another from Bihar in short total Dhamaal!Sis came back from Mumbai with lots of shopping and has brought a kurta for me which I haven’t tried till yet, shez gonna kill me so beta better try it tonight unless you want to get killed for not trying on a piece of cloth!! Sounds bizarre…but believe me it can happen!
Actually I havent actually fallen for the color of that kurta, but she has already decided the day when I am going to go out wearing it! So see there is no choice so I better take a liking for it and I have 3 days to do that!
