Media Laws - A boon or a bane?

Law is a system of rule and regulations that a society sets in order to maintain peace and stability. Personally how I understand law is that it is used to control and shape the way an institution works. It defines the work done by the institution and whether its workers are conformists or otherwise. Different institutions have different sets of laws and it is compulsory for each one to follow. If not followed or abided by, the consequences are in the form of punishment, suspension or the non-conformist is usually detained from the institution. In India, the Constitution is the legal document that contains all the laws explained in detail. Institutions such as schools, colleges, companies, non-profit organizations and media are regulated according to these laws. Media in India has been used to the fullest in terms of politics, economics and society. Unfortunately there are certain sub-divisions of media or different types of media like broadcast media that have misused the amoun...

Molded

When I was first conceived In my mother’s womb She took care of me Like no one ever would In seven lifetimes. When I first arrived My grandmother held me so close Secretly promising me She would do whatever it takes To see my toothless smile. When I took my first baby steps My father let me trip and fall Indirectly telling me “Face your fears. That’s the way you’ll learn” To see me stand on my own two feet. When I first went to school My grandfather urged me to enter my class Proudly he told me “Make new friends. It will be fun” To see me as the “Most Wanted” When my little brother first arrived He caught hold of my little finger This is when I knew It was my responsibility To never let go of his. Only now do I realize How much these people mean to me Without them by my side I wouldn’t be the same.

Little Did I Know..

When my girl-friend asked me for my Barbie I gave it to her Little did I know I would get it back in two pieces. When my neighbor asked me for my bicycle I gave it to him Little did I know I would have a punctured tyre. When my mate asked me for my brand new eraser I gave it to him Little did I know I would never get it back. When my brother asked my for my chalk pieces I gave it to him Little did I know I would never see them again. When my maid offered to clean my room I let her do it Little did I know I would find my piggy bank in pieces. When my close friend needed help I stuck by his side Little did I know I would be betrayed. When my parents taught me to say “No” I refused to listen Little did I know I would regret it now.

As I..

As I sit by the shore I can feel the breeze Hitting my face Sweeping away with it My inner most fears. As it starts to pour I feel I could freeze My limbs go stiff Though I feel at peace. As I walk through the lonely roads The leaves stick to my skin Giving me a feeling That I am the only one. As I sit in my verandah Staring at the sky through the trees While listening to the almost extinct sparrows Chirping a sad symphony. As I take a stroll in my terrace Watching the moon-lit sky The stars shining like the diamond That makes me wonder more What goes beyond this life.

Health is Wealth

India, for the past 5 years has been creating milestones in every field; may it be IT or art. This vast country has spots that encourage tourism, and therefore eco-tourism came into being. Recently, this concept of tourism is now used the medical field – Medical tourism as we call it. India is said to be the best spot for this enthralling industry. Quick revenue is earned along with credibility. More and more hospitals and doctors are entering the field in order to keep up with the high competition in the medical field. But there is one section in our country that is completely ignored when we talk about the medical tourism context – the rural population. More than 60% of India’s population lives in the rural areas – this is a large chunk of the population that needs to be taken care of as they work quite a bit towards the development of our country. This land is primarily agrarian. It is this 60% and above that takes care of the agriculture sector. There is no way our land will tu...
