Cant we focus on some Positive sides of Life?

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?
