Young India Shows Rays of Hope

I happened to see the recently on going on TV talent show of Zee TV called "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa: Little Champs" and believe me I think all of Indians should see the programme. Because I think more than the hype that the young Indians are forgetting the past and the western culture is catching up in India, it is a perfect answer to the people who think this way.

Watch the programme once and you would know how wonderfully these kids sing classical songs and give all the latkas and jhatkas of the musical world in all their vibrant voice.

I was dumbfound when I listened to all the little kids on the stage performing the best of their own voices, and it made me feel great also that we are not behind, and that these small kids hold a lot of hope for all the people of India and I think all Indians should not only see these programmes but also should encourage their own children to come forward and make a niche for themselves by adopting to our heritage and cultural beliefs.

Please see the programme once and then think over what I told you.

This programme, "TVS Sa Re Ga Ma Pa: Little Champs" is telecast every friday, saturday and sunday at 10:00 PM IST. on Zee TV. With a whopping prize money of 45 Lakhs for the winning participants this is sure going to creat some wave in the world of music.

Old versus New... Which is Better???

Now a days watching the TV has become more strenous then ever, but thanks to our age old Door Darshan which is still there, so what it presents some lustreless programmes, but they are clean and safe for all, the whole family of course.

Going throuhg the various news channels will sure leave an otherwise healthy man nervous and sick, and the presenters on the private news channels are also equally horrifying, if you might have seen some programmes like SASANI(STAR News) and CRIME FILE (Zee News). Once the anchor of the news programme Crime File was so hurt by the news or may be the liquour that he took before the programme half way through he fell down and a new anchor was called to complete the news progamme and yet I see the same shameless anchor every night on TV.
It is sad. And these channels proclaim that the things they show are of high standards???

Not long ago there were programmes on the national channel of Door Darshan, there were these news readers that I still remember even after a stint of more than two decades with the private news channels, Ved Prakash, Sarla Maheswari, and so many more. Why those people created a niche for themselves, but not these new once, of course we know a handful now like Rajat Sharma, for his Apki Adalat, Barkha Datt for her devilous acts on Kargil during war.

If we compare the age old Door Darsham and the New age news channels, I think the new channels have the capability to captivate the mass by showing what we have never seen on TV chat shows about Free Sex, Vague reports on sex and rape and extra marital affairs, and these are the things that people prefer now a days.

Are these your daily diet of viewrship???

Think and if yes then may god be with you...\

Are We Odias so Filthy?

Dear Friends
I am writing this after having a bitter experience on a popular chatting site online. And also I received some complaints from many people especially girls in the same chat room.
I am talking about REDIFFBOL and it so happened that I logged in to the Bol software and then chose to chat in the Bhubaneswar room and once inside the room, all I saw was filthy and unauthentic chatting mixed with bad words and irresponsible statements from so called chatters of Orissa. To put shame on this they are putting messages with bad words for the mothers and sisters of other chatters..
Are we still calling ourself a dedicated and sincere son and brothers, and are we still going to claim that we are a nice society???
I thought and came to this point that all the chatters in the chat room in Bhubaneswar room of Rediffbol are either schhol going kids or immature kids of newly joined college going ones. And many of them are from only Bhubaneswar who are using these methods to horrify the gentle chatters in the room and I sincerely hope this trend will stop, if at all we are going to portray ourself as a mature and nice society.
Think over and act now. If your kid is involved in spreading bad words keep an eye on his behaviour now.
May god bless us all.
