ATTITUDE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE




Lastday on my wayback from Ernakulam in train,my eyes were invited to cross mark scribbled on a tree whose branches were cutdown and numbered.Later I noticed the same sign on several trees.That trees were to be cut down as a part of railway line expansion between Ernakulam and Trivandrum.

That site set a direction to my meandering thoughts....and I was a little bit disturbed after seeing it.My mind substituted that tree to a man who was sentenced to death by us for evacuating his living space for our convenient purposes and he is helplessly waiting for his execution....What a drastic situatuion????Cant u imagine???


This is our attitude..............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would like to invite ur attention to another incident which took place in Australia.Australian aboriginals replanted an ancient boab tree on last sunday after it was driven thousands of kilometres to save it from destruction.A road widening scheme meant the tree,estimated to be 750 years young,had to be uprooted from its home in Northern Kimberley district of Western Australia and moved by truck 3200 Km to a park in State Capital Perth.The bottle shaped boab tree can live up to 2,000 years and it weighs 36 tonnes,stands 14 metres high and 2.5 metres in diameter.It will be in the company of 14 young boab trees.............

Thats their attitude..............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the title of this post says attitude makes the difference......On the long run,our attitude will pay enough for what it has done yet.......The importance of trees that we all know ......eventhough we are indulging in vandalizing our green power.Our greens are deprived of the care they are getting in other countries like Australia which is not due to the paucity of knowledge but due to the dangerous easiness we are following.These wont do any good for us I am sure.....

Being a developing country,we cant stay deaf to the crying need of new transporting facilities,since they form the catalyst of development.But what we are now following is not a good precedent .Killing trees during road widening are often justified for they avoid sharp bends...but in Kerala how many roads are void of bends???We can even see the bending of roads for bypassing the properties of ones who are having high poltical and financial strength.....Trees,We cant promise them the moon like Australians.....but we can plant a new one instead of replanting...Firstly the govt should become a model......the laws should be made powerful and the violaters should be nabbed....Letz make our future green...filled with flaura and fauna.Progress can sometimes regressive!!

INDIAN POLITICS LOSING ITS FACE





Keep in mind India is the largest democratic country in the world.Its only hours more for the Indian National Congress(INC) led UPA to face confidence vote.The Indian capital is at the summit of political pressure.Cars and flights are in fly to allign MP's for and against the govt..The political melodrama which is now performing on the stage Indraprastha resembles horse trade...and is so shameless to create a carving pain in the heart of a citizen who believes in Indian politics.


The political parties are offering everything including money(100 Crore according to TOI report),MP seats,cabinet posions etc to MPs to make them stick to their side.For no apparent reasons or ideological justifications MPs are changing alliances.I am sorry to say the names....Its INC led UPA and BJP led NDA ...the biggest buyers.The case is not so differnt with the Left parties ...they made an alliance with BSP by throwing away their political stand...Everybody is fishing....



Many hot news now spreading can be mere rumours..but about the JMM leader Shibu Soran and RLD leader Ajith Sigh its different...For convincing JMM leader UPA is offering a position in Ministry which he lost when he was found guilty by Court.On the other hand NDA is there with Chiefminister position of Gharkhand...Great!!!Does this man hold this much credentials???What is his poltical mission???You better have a close watch on his political profile...Who is sending him again and again to perform foul plays at the great Indraprastha..???Lets blame them...For RLD leader a place in Ministry is offered..more than taht Luknow airport was renamed with his fathers....Great politics



SP--the big corporate party..Yes the stage was set for them when the Left withdrew there support..They putforward a list of corporate agendas...NO doubt the INC agreed it.The recent steps taken by PM's office like changing the petroleum secretary was a part of it.The favourtism shown by govt to one of the Ambanis is undoubtly for SP..


I feel pity its better for the parlament to be renamed as the Delhi stock Exchange..Indian National Congress ...Is this politics???You are destroying your legacy which was gained through some great leaders....What you should have done is ....resign the goverment and face assembly elections if you were for a noble cause you will be back in power.This horse trading politics shows your diffidence..


Nuke deal is not within normals citizens grasp but this shameless drama is.First define whats national intrest?It is we want to get uninterruped distribution of enriched Uranium which is the nuclear fuel because we cant depend much on hydrelectric power projects because the weather and water sufficiecy is uncertain....and thermal power is not ecnomic..Being a fast developing country we must assure energy security...So Nuke deal is good..........On the otherhand the deal should be symmetric...We dont want to be like an everything 'yes' country like Britain to USA.Indias confidential nuclear weapons should be undercover for keeping National security.So to everyone,India is not for the INC,not for the BJP,not for the Left and remainings,India is for the Indians.

So for the national progress and defending inflation which is meeting 12% every poltical parties should tie up.The mission of the politics should not shift its emphasis...Today is tommorows history...the Time has come for a change..

NEW IS BEING ALTERED BY TV & NEWSPAPERS TO CATCH VIEWER SHIP



Media professionals say, "Good new is bad news because it doesnot sell a paper".At the early times goverment was having strict control over media since goverment maintained monopoly there through PrasarBharathi & Doordarshan whose objective was merely national intrest. Once it was opened for private sector the objective found replacement.It was profit the new one for which they are willing to adopt any hook or crook means.They are adding spices and blending the news to report it in a unique manner and to arise viewers eagerness inorder to make them stick to their channel.There they are losing their principles and forgetting their social resposiblities.


A recent event made me think about this topic.Hope you all know Aarushi murder case.There we can see how worse police dept can be in its fullfetched form.A father before recovering from the shock he felt from his daughters death was accused and arrested for it without having enough evidences.Now it came media's turn especially visual media.....kudos they made a mess out of it.It was like a festival for them..you know one of the national news channels even demonstrated it with the help of animation keep in mind still he is only an accused not a culprit.He was kept in jail for 50 long days......for he and his family it was 50 years.....Atlast the truth came out ...He was innocent.....Whom should we blame...........who is answerabe??Will the media apologize??????


Last but not the least we cant keep our eyes closed by seeing the intrusion of politics in to this field.Why should the political parties own newspapers & TV channels.......To propagate their ideologies they can do it with posters and catalogs.....Can you pointout a single medium of that kind which is propagating the exact truth...No we cant...Each one of its kind is trying to spread their version of the truth.....I can definitely say that this wont do any favour to this field...


Finally we cant run away from our responsiblity of entertaining the good one and discarding the worse.Particularly we have a prejudice...thats why we want to hear a news in a form which suits it and it will vindicate the circulation figures of biased ones....So i humbly suggest to get out of such moral frames....Accept the truth in its own form........
To conclude,news should be presented attractively but in its original form.....The more assertive readers and viewers are, the lesser the media can manipulate......
