My Holi at your expense !
I was in Delhi a week before Holi. To be precise, I was staying in Amar colony, near Lajpat nagar.
I was shocked to see how children, age ranging from 5 yrs and above created nuisance perhaps in the name of ‘burra na mano holi hai.”
It was disgusting to see children from so – called educated families and going to good/ elite schools totally disregarded basic social curtsies and safety norms.Since a week prior to Holi they threw water-balloons at unsuspecting passersby. I saw a missed water balloon fall close to a young girl who was going to college. A balloon hit a scooterist’s pillion seat! I dreaded to think if he had lost balance and met with an accident or if the balloon hit the girl’s eyes/ ears instead and the impact damaged for the rest of her life !!

Mass Media vs. Society
A big Hi to everyone associated with the blog.
Here is something that I wrote for a class assignment. 
I thought it may be worthwhile to let people on the blog read it. Well, there is one caution: what I’ve written may just go over the heads of many a reader! I sincerely hope that it won’t.
But if it does become hard to comprehend, I’ll be more than happy to clarify. Needless to say, comments are welcome. Also, it is important for me to know readers’ perspectives and opinions in order to do justice to the issue of media effects.

GOD=(You + Me + Love )- RELIGION
Just came back home after watching this new film “My name is Khan”. The Film is about a man, who wants to tell every one, that he is a Muslim and and not a terrorist. It is about how he goes through all the difficulties and finally meets the president of the United States and tells him that he is not a terrorist.
The film makes me ask these questions again :-
1. Is God divided by religion??
2. Does God want us to kill those who do not believe in religion??
3. Did God make religion??
I am sure the people around me, will always give ..click here to read the rest..

"I believe " – by Anshul
I love to live,
and I live to love.
The world is so beautiful,
and all is so perfect,
the choice is ours we have to select.
I love you God.
For you’ve given me all,
and I know you’ll always be there,
whenever I fall.
The way you’ve made me,
I shall always stand tall.
Whenever you are there,
there can’t be any fear,
because love is to spend,
so the devil can’t stand near.
I am your son and will be till eternity
my belief shall never die, till the end of humanity.

Today I have had the chance to make some observations .
Very interesting ones , I must admit.
My wife and I drove around today just to be with our respective parents and spend some quality time together.
We covered some good distances in-between houses, allowing us a chance to check out stuff going on,on the roads.
The cops were out boy. There were many of them. And they were well placed in different parts of the town.
The cops were out handing pardon sentences for minor offenses. And so it was.
Many pardon sentences were granted to all our “can-never-die-in-road-accidents” dudes tripling out on motor bikes without any helmets. On any other day, 9 out of 10 people typically, can be seen wearing head gear on motorbikes and riding with a single pillion. But today being the 366th day of the year, ..click here to read the rest..

Narration:-
“
Do not mention my name. I have a goal (not purpose) for my life. I sometimes feel what will happen if I am not able to achieve it. I sometimes feel sad that my parents spend so much on me and my studies and the result will be null. I also feel why are studies given so much importance? Can there never be a good job which does not required good mind and intellect? How do I eradicate this fear of mine of not meeting my goal?”
“I AM UNIQUE. THANK YOU for telling me that I am not what my marks are or what others treat me or say me.”
More:-
“Your questions about the purpose of life really made me feel uncomfortable. Every waking moment, sleeping, studying I thought of it. “

Finally on my way to yes
I bump into all the places
where I said no to my life
all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin, my bones,
those coded messages that send me down
the wrong street again and again
where I find them the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them one by one
close to my heart
and I say holy
holy.
–Pesha Gertler, “The Healing Time”
