If you want a brand label on your resume then don&#39;t go for startups. And if you want a career growth and you are not afraid of building reputation on your own then startups shall be on your call.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;For MNC-&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s definitely a dog-eat-dog world out there and people are least concerned about the fact where they are pushing their career towards. At least, now I am speaking for our Indian Society; if you have just graduated and hunting for job you would definitely go chasing big brands and despite the fact that MNCs literally takes up your life but then you would love it without it. Here, you will be trying to only be specific to &quot;your&quot; career, playing politics getting a position where you&#39;d be the boss but eventually you are losing credibility. Now, who cares if you are getting a hefty pay check and a brand name on your ID says so-and-so Multi-National firm that raises eye brows while you are travelling in a Metro (only in the case if you don&#39;t own a BMW). And finally your career ends up bragging about many places you visited and food you ate, not forgetting to mention how your &#39;life in lights&#39; was.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;For StartUps&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s NOT a dog-eat-dog world, yes, it is not in a startup. If you are emotionally working out to build up your career and you think money is not the concern only until it helps managing your living. A startup is where you can actually startup your career, if giving your resume a startup name shall not demean your confidence. In a startup you will get exposure, it&#39;s like taking admission in a school from the first grade. You will get to learn the business without spending a nickel and it can be beneficial for you if you are just an entrant, or looking out for jobs. Expecting big money in this case would not lead you anywhere even after 3 years but the least you can do is live a fruitful life. You&#39;d not own a Mercedes this way (if that&#39;s what you are desperate about) in nearly 5 to 6 years down the line but can definitely expect a peace-of-mind working schedule and coming back to loving family in your own Chevy Beat. Startups can lead to up to certain levels of satisfactions. Live Life In Peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em;&quot;&gt;Note/Disclaimer: Biased but not specifically endorsing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shankdelhi.blogspot.com/feeds/8507112993798745376/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://shankdelhi.blogspot.com/2014/09/startups-vs-mncs-big-rat-race.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/354989900300999232/posts/default/8507112993798745376'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/354989900300999232/posts/default/8507112993798745376'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shankdelhi.blogspot.com/2014/09/startups-vs-mncs-big-rat-race.html' title='Startups vs MNCs - The Big RAT Race'/><author><name>Shashank Sriv</name><uri>https://plus.google.com/100713487654001345595</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7wf19M81_Qs/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAa0/48W6TsbKRV0/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>New Delhi, Delhi, India</georss:featurename><georss:point>28.635308 77.22496000000001</georss:point><georss:box>28.1893855 76.579513 29.081230499999997 77.870407000000014</georss:box><gd:extendedProperty name="commentSource" value="1"/><gd:extendedProperty name="commentModerationMode" value="FILTERED_POSTMOD"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-354989900300999232.post-1461123227166069506</id><published>2013-12-15T20:01:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2014-03-12T17:36:07.649+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="advertising"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="communication"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="digital"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Facebook"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="internet"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="marketing"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="mudpie"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="online"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="onlineadvertising"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="time"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="trends"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="web"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="webchutney"/><title type='text'>It&#39;s Time, You Take It</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n46mRo5Lfps/UYe-dKjLokI/AAAAAAAAPUY/1EHe0nkS6hc/s640/New+Trends+In+Digital+Advertising.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n46mRo5Lfps/UYe-dKjLokI/AAAAAAAAPUY/1EHe0nkS6hc/s320/New+Trends+In+Digital+Advertising.png&quot; height=&quot;159&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;All in one place, It&#39;s time you take it seriously, &quot;The Online Advertising&quot;.

You may be addicted, you may feel guilt, remorse and&amp;nbsp;circumstantial indifferences make you anxious but on the other hand you can go out and work hard until smoking or the hard work &lt;span class=&quot;GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct&quot; ginger_sofatware_markguid=&quot;7f207cbe-df4d-4cbb-98fc-c2fea4266d3d&quot; ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid=&quot;e7d30e95-2134-4eb0-81ad-71846502c780&quot; grcontextid=&quot;itself:0&quot;&gt;itself&lt;/span&gt; kills you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am trying to seek peace in isolation, its like you are searching for silence in bereavement and what you get is the intense loudness in the utter silence you probably are hemmed in, and finally if you will tend to notice the surroundings you will find that annoyance is quite a small word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Complications are sometimes so good that you quite get addicted&amp;nbsp;to it. You find pain in everything, in everything will you now disguise your agitated emotions! Things would seemingly try to get more convoluted and you will find yourself trapped in the lethargic cobwebs of the time and circumstances that you may once &lt;span class=&quot;GINGER_SOFATWARE_correct&quot; ginger_sofatware_markguid=&quot;d5acf56a-085f-4a7e-b628-3efc18175232&quot; ginger_sofatware_uiphraseguid=&quot;ed749576-745a-4531-9771-3a290200346f&quot; grcontextid=&quot;were:0&quot;&gt;were&lt;/span&gt; addicted to. Life is too simple to be lived quietly&amp;nbsp;in a place of no man&#39;s land, but since we (me, in particular sense) complicate situations and life, we tend not to perform better than with the sense of remorse of our own wrong done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-utv9XFfcZf0/Uc66O-oFKhI/AAAAAAAAAY4/Tm6MYJwJ3Ok/s640/3394186320_af37c2dca9_z.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;126&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-utv9XFfcZf0/Uc66O-oFKhI/AAAAAAAAAY4/Tm6MYJwJ3Ok/s200/3394186320_af37c2dca9_z.jpg&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There will come a time when all you seek would only be peace and silence without the belligerence of thoughts that might prevail in the head of evil.

You eat with hands, put that very finger in your nose later to clean up slimy secretion and you may at times overlook doing so. Have a very scintillating personality (-certainly addressing all the ladies) which you would always want people to admire to but not you want carry yourself like that when home alone.

This divide between you and other people&#39;s perception of you, may lead to get an acuity of yours to go down in the dumps. I have gotten into the very casual attitude in-and-out, everywhere and anywhere and this precedes as people find topics of concern when you don&#39;t get them what they want to hear or see (-stop criticizing everything, finicky folks).

You just cannot have to be judgmental about anything that comes on your way. Just be a self critic and create your personal opinion without disparaging others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may be giving a look that I may have inclined the topic on the different aspect but rendering the same fact that if you become practically focused on what you actually are, you will be purging yourself and be what you are.

When you get the &lt;i&gt;way&lt;/i&gt; into your life, you don&#39;t want to follow it and the rest while you are just getting freaky as to why you are so lost. Can human tendency work two ways out of a problem? Actually, life goes on and on and we as freaks waste almost half of our life finding the ways out of a problem. It is essentially not needed to work on a problem of a life when it just comes and goes by, just give it a look and that&#39;s all. People I see, some are busy making their schedules, some have already traced their future on a book (diary, so they say), some still looking for ways to get over emotional disdain, for some their standard of living, and the list goes on. Different People, Different Problems. I do what I love and love what I do (Blackberry kicker is copied from here :p *winks*), I mean it. I don&#39;t go boggling around things as what to do and what not to. Yes, we need to schedule our lives, to speak practically, for the need of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many times have you heard&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;&quot;live present, leave past&quot;&lt;/i&gt;? I wouldn&#39;t doubt you haven&#39;t heard this yet. You should definitely keep in regards what you have to become, not how you want to become. &#39;Trample on the air this earth has and feel the breeze this life gives you, don&#39;t run for what is going away, capture the smiles on your way.&#39; Life is simple, stop complicating with your preparation of facing the future. What happened, let it rest on past and &lt;span class=&quot;GRcorrect&quot; grphrase=&quot;e07623982fa11ad2c3545918c5f20a87fe19a7fc&quot; grtype=&quot;null&quot; id=&quot;GRmark_c999272a2db370abace746b93154f40fd34bf561_live:1&quot;&gt;live&lt;/span&gt; your present. And then I see people sick of their past shitting their present. This is life you cannot change it, This cannot be undone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hell, what have I become! A philosophers&#39; tune?

What in the world is wrong with the Government? I know it is wrong to target Government for every cause but people, everything is a cause for this paradigm.

Why people in this country are still insecure and prevailing disregard. I may not have disgraceful feelings for our President as she is still a respectable citizen of India. I am also proud that even if the least she did, she did for women and for the country. We shall also pride in ourselves for being Governed by such a pure heart and calmer human. And moreover, the &lt;i&gt;first lady-President of India&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;Now talking about our 13th President Mukherjee, the number denotes the unluckiness for many but for him The Thirteenth is the Luck.

But I would not do that. Okay, why the hell do I want anybody to break their device while reading my blog. This is not a love story, so please, you love-sick patients may cry foul of this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of my friends who live not their life but what their girl wants them to be. Have they ever obeyed their parents, heck why? &quot;There are two theories to arguing a girl, neither of them works&quot; This may sound a bit chauvinistic on our part but, you see truth is truth. For some people, being in a relationship with the only priority of intimidating their desires can be well understood. But I can&#39;t fathom a situation where a person lands up in a relationship every month and almost misunderstands their partner every time with a sense of regret and remorse, agonizing situations without having sex and crying of break-up every second of a day. Hell, this is not love. I might have misinterpreted love for quite a while. But Love doesn&#39;t happen this way (sex does, though).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about people who momentarily exercise on their relationship etiquettes and get nothing except a crap from a girl. Approaching every woman on the track and asking them out for dates may be a good way to go for a girl but keeping a tab on them frequently makes me sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is wrong with Love Stories?&lt;br /&gt;A sick person revolves around a girl, could not even try to convince her for himself, losing temper, suicides. The pigeonhole of Love Stories is now understood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people shall not lose their integrity chasing partners. To get love, start loving the person in you.

Only a Writer. Like many others, I am too career obsessed. Engineering was my dream, after I woke up with the eyes wide open, realized I could be a writer. Reading was never my hobby, so I started writing. Comprehended lately, that for a person to become a writer has to start reading. I was sitting on the couch in my drawing room with the book &quot;False Impression&quot; bought before a week and just was the distraction when the phone rang to call me a meeting, a friend I always wanted to avoid. But as he came far from another city just to greet me &#39;hello&#39;, I couldn&#39;t have forestalled my being at home. I went to see him and he heedlessly asked me to contribute in buying a packet of weed to smoke together.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rr5r1OzOUyw/T_AmKedyS5I/AAAAAAAAATw/4NIcEKP-Jqw/s1600/vlcsnap-43170.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;134&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Rr5r1OzOUyw/T_AmKedyS5I/AAAAAAAAATw/4NIcEKP-Jqw/s320/vlcsnap-43170.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;That was my first time I ever felt amused by the sheer pleasure of smoking! Nonetheless, I wanted so not to happen as after getting &#39;High&#39; people address you more intently and it feels like as if they know it, you just smoked a joint and that&#39;s illegally bad thing. Past few days, I read about marijuana and those unwanted plants which are now so expensive and so wanted that my peers almost spend all their allowances on it. And the avarice of it is still to crave for more. I was totally unaware of the consequences one bears after smoking these oddly substances that for quite a couple of weeks I actually researched about things like, Marijuana, Weed Leaves, Hashish, &lt;span class=&quot;GRcorrect&quot; grphrase=&quot;6399b4396e8059b1b1249883e53346bc2c017834&quot; grtype=&quot;null&quot; id=&quot;GRmark_6399b4396e8059b1b1249883e53346bc2c017834_Coacaine:0&quot;&gt;Coacaine&lt;/span&gt;, Ethers and other Acidic substances, purposely so that I could tell my friends now, even I know what I smoke and how it actually feels like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CWGoGdkeOPQ/T_Amyn_u-hI/AAAAAAAAAT4/A0xXjeLUPaU/s1600/vlcsnap-46043.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;134&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CWGoGdkeOPQ/T_Amyn_u-hI/AAAAAAAAAT4/A0xXjeLUPaU/s320/vlcsnap-46043.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Those were the days when I dropped a year as intended to study to clear engineering entrance exam. I hardly get any penny for my daily expenditure but still rather being sorry to my friends I give them an appreciable amount of contribution, accumulating bucks which I save while helping my mother in a grocery store. Things went on like that for a couple of months, a couple of months more and couple of months more when finally I realized that actually I have to study and just few days are left for the forms to end up selling and I am still to buy &lt;span class=&quot;GRcorrect&quot; grphrase=&quot;04bfc6e1c55788eee55f88e738b8897989a62edc&quot; grtype=&quot;null&quot; id=&quot;GRmark_04bfc6e1c55788eee55f88e738b8897989a62edc_forms:0&quot;&gt;forms&lt;/span&gt;.

Things were getting little better and when I suddenly gave up the thought of becoming an engineer and changed that for Journalism, after all this is the only good thing drugs did to my life. Somewhere down the corner I anticipated that engineering is not my taste... Or probably I wanted to get rid of those druggies. I didn&#39;t know if in any point of fact I was avoiding drugs or drugs made me choose my career option I was obsessed with. The question haunts me with the sense of regret, is drugs doing good to me or is it too bad?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-25AmGN0nPuc/T_Aoh4ax24I/AAAAAAAAAUY/fzxlxEz6lUA/s1600/vlcsnap-36949.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;84&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-25AmGN0nPuc/T_Aoh4ax24I/AAAAAAAAAUY/fzxlxEz6lUA/s200/vlcsnap-36949.png&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;After college admission, befriending some passive cigarette smokers needlessly knowing that they too are indulged in smoking substances. Just that once I saw my past hitting me back and I started it again now with a positive side of it. I quite enjoyed smoking with my new friends; they taught me the good side of getting high. And also, unlike earlier this time was not for Marijuana but Hashish, Cream Hash. The thing is great. Now I don&#39;t feel as if people are watching me and they know that I’m high, but rather I confidently stare at them and show an insolent smirking expression, that feeling of superiority, self confidence made me feel invincible for quite a some time. I withhold Group Discussions and Presentations until after smoking a joint. Teachers&#39; started appreciating my work and GD&#39;s went very great. The words just hover over my head while GD&#39;s, all I need to do is just place them right and form a sentence and speak up. I understood, Drugs are taking on me. The medications make you feel very conscious about you and very provocative, in simpler words, it makes you smarter if you are already smart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xSdlD2AnNKc/T_AoQ3ZAKqI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/CcJREHOvFjA/s1600/vlcsnap-48717.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xSdlD2AnNKc/T_AoQ3ZAKqI/AAAAAAAAAUQ/CcJREHOvFjA/s1600/vlcsnap-48717.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-tab-span&quot; style=&quot;white-space: pre;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Taking everything for granted and ridden over by the pride and arrogance of oneself has defeated my irrepressible attitude.

Everything around me starts revolving, the days are hopeless, nights are intolerable. The fear of being worthy of nothing, fear of ineptness, fear of desolation and this anxiousness always leaves me with a sense of remorse and guilt. Why?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_ce87NP2Qw/Tzv387QuOAI/AAAAAAAAAO8/1lG02XcorVA/s1600/shoes.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;224&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_ce87NP2Qw/Tzv387QuOAI/AAAAAAAAAO8/1lG02XcorVA/s320/shoes.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I don&#39;t know if my parents know about me, feeling this way of not able to do anything in life and still brags out to become Einstein. Just this thought, my inability makes my day go down in the dumps. I have friends as everybody else&#39;s but I never want anybody to support me. This life is just a survival for me; from guilt, from regrets, from the villain inside, from everywhere. Is it too late to begin again? Have I ever had any talent? Did I grow up to become nothing?

Took me very hard to cope with life and when I finally got a go in the field of journalism and mass communication I&#39;m taking it very lightly and still doing nothing except tearing my shoes in the daily run. When I&#39;ve had enough, that stubbornness still surfaces my adolescents. Things are hard to do with.

A planned videolink conference with Rushdie at the Jaipur Literary Fest &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/#!/search/JLF&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;#JLF&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Twitter) presented the directors with an impossible decision: &lt;i&gt;cause a riot or uphold an imperative principle.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;The incident got the directors,&amp;nbsp;coordinators&amp;nbsp;and co-operators in a state of momentary shock, when they received a notice by Police to stop the video conference and the Muslim activists who appeared before 1pm in the vicinity to forbade the Rushdie&#39;s interview, were the biggest daunt to the crowd present there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7hhwPtPlRG4/TyVcHMpCnRI/AAAAAAAAAN4/kW6krjnhwW0/s1600/mbwb98jedfa.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7hhwPtPlRG4/TyVcHMpCnRI/AAAAAAAAAN4/kW6krjnhwW0/s1600/mbwb98jedfa.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Protesters at Jaipur Literary Fest, 2012&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Muslim activists made it clear of boycotting Rushdie&#39;s book and banning it therefore in islamic communities as one of the books wrote by Salman Rushdie- &quot;&lt;b&gt;THE SATANIC VERSES&lt;/b&gt;&quot; contained offensive statements which&amp;nbsp;besieged the Muslim&#39;s sentiments and apparently the Muslim activists at the Jaipur Literary Fest had palpable callousness over Salman Rushdie. The infuriated crowd hauled over the Directors, of the interview that is to be taken by Barkha Dutt. Nor Police, neither government put their foot forward to the protesters and the crowd that might get exacerbated as the consequence, as evidently more than Hindus, government is concerned about their Muslim voters. If the videolink is shown to public, there would be violence and the crowd might aggravate entailing the scuffle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Novel, &quot;The Satanic Verses&quot; which was first published in 1988 and therein banned in Iran,&amp;nbsp;Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan and later in India due to blasphemous reference to the Muslim community. After 24 years later in 2012 at the Jaipur literary fest, the author was banned entering his own birth place, India. The clauses in the book which are the&amp;nbsp;gratuitous provocation to Muslim Community&amp;nbsp;had enough of punishment to Salman Rushdie as&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;fatwa&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was also issued by a leader of Iran and a Muslim Scholar, Shi&#39;a. After the issue of fatwa, Rushdie was police protected by the British Government and later Rushdie avowed that he would not remain under quilts and will stop living in hiding. The Iranian News Agency proclaimed that fatwa would remain permanent, until and unless it is rescinded by the person who first issued it. The leader had since died.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Rushdie has never been physically assaulted or incurred. Since then, the conciliated verse sometimes grows to gruesome fiascoes and other while it remains buried deep to explode someday to some event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;People should forget and forgive. Maybe the verses weren&#39;t that harmful to become a cause to a dispute, and even if it were... &lt;b&gt;THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH&lt;/b&gt;, has it all not be taken as offensive. If in India people have their right of speech why could not a person speak to his mind? Perhaps, Rushdie never meant to hurt anybody&#39;s sentiments and even if he has, why shall we make him suffer his whole life? SALMAN RUSHDIE shall be liable for the charges for his offensive verses, but we should not punish him his whole life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: #fafafa;

They make the ignorance of public to the level where they get the modest amount of salary shown and what that is unaccountable goes oblivion in the showcase. Our Parliamentarians extracts the most out of what we call Money accountable to Public. Most of the MPs live in or on the vicinity at Lutyens&#39; Delhi which has the gross estimated value of real estate of Rs 300-400 crore depending on the size of the bungalow. In Delhi as a state we have 77 Ministers including those of state are so capable that they can even hire a servant for spoon feeding and cleaning their toilets (-literally, where it comes from). India as a country still counts 37.7% of population below poverty line (BPL) and we have more than 540 Lok Sabha Ministers and 250 Rajya Sabha Ministers playing all in multimillion currency and can be said perfectly capable of feeding those below poverty line till their death and still holds a tidy sum of a million.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FiZBjalSptI/TvMqUy9CxdI/AAAAAAAAAME/TORAnVFZyQ8/s1600/z-1.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FiZBjalSptI/TvMqUy9CxdI/AAAAAAAAAME/TORAnVFZyQ8/s320/z-1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;316&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The new statistics shows the increment of Government bureaucrats. Six lakhs per annum is the salary of an Indian MP which is in accounts and the bungalow which grows behind is what the money needs to be in accounts. There is no Parliamentary drawback or system limitations, all in all the corrupt Ministers grew up to behold this nature when an American bureaucrats draws an ample annual salary of $1,74,000 (Rs 93 lakhs) and yet lives at homes which cost almost third of the fractions Indian MPs&#39; bungalows worthy of. Where actually the money is growing and how far will it reach to the corrupt standards? Questions never become an answer in parliament. An MP brings multi-ideological standards of his own to become so-and-so. He spends around 7-10 crores on elections to win it before whining and bragging of the same and a successful MLA spends around 2-3 crores all on a state assembly elections. By all procedure successfully passed giving these MPs right of expenditure in some other sense. Now when all the revenue is collected from Public funds, National Highway Authority of India, Airports, Railways, Transports and Municipal departments. The audited revenue on&amp;nbsp;utilization&amp;nbsp;lies in vain before the public and eaten by the corrupt society of MPs and Bureaucracies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Lokpal brought the debate of empowering of Election Commission to audit electoral expenses on a continuous basis and make all the funds of public accountable on the expense sheet. Should it provide the power to de-register and de-recognize the&amp;nbsp;blunderer political parties which play seminal roles in digging the black money out. There must be a tough regulatory bodies which instigates the policies to investigate the profession of each and look into the matter deeply and not commiserate the deal with money.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;What we pay unwritten, goes unaccountable.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Acknowledgement-&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Times, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;How much does your Lutyens MP cost you?

But that hardly made a difference as on for now this event has got heart of billionaires and famous personalities to spend Rs. 100 for a piece of Samosa when in famine.

People may have had difficulties in reaching the venue because of heavy Traffic Jams on the roads reading hoardings of Formula1 but that has not taken to make a bold thought to worry about when the visitors reached the venue and without much bustle, the Grid Girls made them pop their eyes out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All went great after when these girls also found the speed scorchers on their way to practice and indulging booze later the Race with the classy Businessmen and their much-to-do high bucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nLxWb3KwCZU/Tq-olWGnPmI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/p0_TjD1bm34/s1600/formula-1-girls-17_800x0w.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;431&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nLxWb3KwCZU/Tq-olWGnPmI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/p0_TjD1bm34/s640/formula-1-girls-17_800x0w.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4zNO85KKL68/Tq-vPScUXYI/AAAAAAAAAKE/6oKXt7mIssw/s1600/xf1-india-winners.jpg.pagespeed.ic.LBJ4nnYLuo.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4zNO85KKL68/Tq-vPScUXYI/AAAAAAAAAKE/6oKXt7mIssw/s320/xf1-india-winners.jpg.pagespeed.ic.LBJ4nnYLuo.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;The Podium Declaring Winners, Sebastian Vettel (First place),&lt;br /&gt;Jenson Button (Second Place), Fernando Alonso (Third Place)&lt;br /&gt;with Adrian Newey (Red Bull Racing&#39;s CTO)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Race ended up declaring Sebastian Vettel as a winner of Indian Grand Prix, standing with the Chief Technical Officer, Adrian Newey of Red Bull Racing.

It&#39;s India&#39;s 65th Independent year, 2011. India got Independence from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Raj&quot;&gt;British rulers&lt;/a&gt; in 14 August, 1947. All in all Indians tried hard to heal up the country&#39;s contusions and is now been counted in the top lists of fastest developing countries. India is the second populous country in the world after China and has rose up it&#39;s literacy rate, development statistics, economic growth and also in entertainment industry. All couldn&#39;t have been possible without India&#39;s Government Bureaucrats and high aspired Indian people. We have had all the assimilated information for being counted in the lists of TOP Nations in the world.&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Unless we&#39;ve gone spleen in corruption.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;But here comes the dearth of possibilities when Indians tend to become selfish on their parts to earn money. India could have world&#39;s wealthiest persons&#39; if money which rotates around the country gets reimbursed into a statistic and solemnly be put to development of the country, bustling. Not to forget, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijay_Mallya&quot;&gt;Vijay Mallya&lt;/a&gt;, Ratan Tata, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indians_by_net_worth&quot;&gt;Ambani Brothers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and Azim premji (CEO of Wipro)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Commonwealth_Games&quot;&gt;Commonwealth Games&lt;/a&gt; held at New Delhi in October, 2010 was the most ostentatious situation for the Government authorities to show up the world what it takes to build up a character. But our country has prodigiously blessed with the brilliance of the bureaucrats (sometimes&amp;nbsp;egotistic) to hold up the winning cup on their hands, like A. Raja and Suresh Kalmadi. Corruption is a virus which regardless of emotions hollows the nation.

Corruption can never be called a disease to Indian law system or&amp;nbsp;bureaucracies. We all are the initiator of corruption and then we talk how liable is to have a conversation about&amp;nbsp;shunning the Government policies. It took broad minds to construct the complicated yet enhanced law, procedure and order in Government authorities. We are in no right situation to call it a culprit. &lt;i&gt;&quot;Our system needs a change, an advancement; Agreed!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;For sure there had been flaws in our law and order sequential blueprint but then who doesn&#39;t have an inaccuracy? &lt;b&gt;Corruption is deception or&amp;nbsp;fraud-ship to a person who is either known or unknown to what causes illegal&amp;nbsp;norms to be forsaken for a profit of either one person or in some cases, both.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;We, citizens of Modern India are well aware of what it takes to forbid unruly tentative laws. We know system needs a humongous change but then, we are the people who are misusing our legal rights for the welfare of our own kingdom of dreams.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eOmnjjrFs6c/TlVKe7AfyII/AAAAAAAAAHU/SLtqPQrk8fM/s1600/images.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;239&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eOmnjjrFs6c/TlVKe7AfyII/AAAAAAAAAHU/SLtqPQrk8fM/s320/images.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Anna Hazare at a Protest in New Delhi&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;An example follows, we tend to bribe half the amount to Government official for signing our file though we are known that this is against our laws and not to mention we are committing crime through the authorities&#39; spectacle and to save half the original amount we already had unknowingly paid thrice of half the principal amount.

Three head-to-head blasts in Mumbai, India. No wonder, 17 dead and more than 131 injured. I may not have the &lt;a href=&quot;http://in.news.yahoo.com/live-coverage--three-blast-in-mumbai.html&quot;&gt;right statistics&lt;/a&gt; but these blasts in past few years were the utmost reign of terror. And now when we have incurred that blasts, we are yet again, too late, too little. Either we couldn&#39;t understand the&amp;nbsp;government&#39;s&amp;nbsp;policies for us to be very difficult or the government itself wouldn&#39;t work on it being too easy for them. These blasts were sharp terror instincts on which we failed to heed, every time.

This is the lot of the modern media man. Where Cardus and Arlott could dream up the right word for the moment, and enjoy their wine, the journalist of today must scamper here and there, understand intrigue and the law, be at home with power struggles and rules that change half-yearly, and eventually have, or seem to have, an informed opinion on everything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Many of us were drawn to this profession by the music of bat on ball, the photograph of the straight drive that we glued to our walls, by the joy of anticipation even as we waited in queues to enter the stadium. The squabbles and the intrigue, the pomposity of power and the timidity of those who accept it and complain later can leave some of us cold. But we are not allowed that. In the modern, connected world, not to have an opinion on certain matters, because you are not sufficiently informed, is to be timid; to wax eloquent with insufficient awareness, as with much of the DRS debate, is acceptable. As the game changes rapidly, as its finances wax and wane depending on where you live, so too has the role of the media person changed, not always for the better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;And so I believe it is time to start a debate on what the roles of the journalist and the commentator now are: one is increasingly expected to chase quotes and ignore the passages of play that could make the next day&#39;s paper interesting to those who missed the action; the other has to learn to condense thoughts and sharpen words before the commercial breaks take over.

It is this that will draw the next generation in, but - certainly here in India - I read and hear so little of it. The prize catch for an editor is no longer the reporter with a feel for words that tell you what happened but the guy who knows which email went where it shouldn&#39;t have.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;right&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;pullquote&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; color: #666666; display: block; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 310px;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td rowspan=&quot;6&quot; width=&quot;15&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;95&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #006cc7; height: 4px;&quot; width=&quot;100&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td width=&quot;100&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; colspan=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; class=&quot;pullquotetext&quot; colspan=&quot;3&quot; id=&quot;pullquotetext&quot; style=&quot;color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;The prize catch for an editor is no longer the reporter with a feel for words that tell you what happened but the guy who knows which email went where it shouldn&#39;t have&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; colspan=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;background-color: #006cc7; height: 4px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=&quot;3&quot; height=&quot;10&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Increasingly, too, as a commentator enjoys the timing that takes a lofted drive into the stands, he is reminded of the commercial obligation he has missed. It is no longer his job only to share his joy with the viewers but to remind them whose benevolence brings them the game. The viewers dislike the intrusion enormously - I&#39;m amazed that brands don&#39;t seem to worry about that - but still, far too often it is mostly commercials that you see, amid a sprinkling of cricket.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Admittedly it is the commercials that bring in the money that enables technically better telecasts, but the line between content and commerce, once determined by those in charge of content, has ceded ownership to those who control the finances.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;So what legacy does our generation leave for the next? We have always been told we are mere tenants of the game, caretakers who nurture it till the time comes to hand it over. We in the media, who pass judgement on caretakers in other areas, must now ask if we can leave our part of the game in better shape than when we inherited it. We complain about the role of money power in administration, but do we not accept the role of money power in modern broadcast media?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;news-body&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;Are we leaving behind oceans of excellence or mere rivulets? Are we spending more time on developments off the field than those on it? Are we telling enough stories to capture the imagination of the young? Are we enticing them with our words and pictures?

You are not living alone to decide if what you did wrong and &amp;nbsp;rue your day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-There&#39;s something very uncool on social media and networks, because the thing youth is talking about is only about their selves, their lives, their beau, their parents and even their pet.

My point here is &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&quot;dearth of social indulgence, or inappropriate use of social networks and media&quot;&lt;/span&gt;.

(Gosh! ...sound like a news paper) I may not have sympathy to whoever dead or alive but isn&#39;t this all we need to cope up with? We cannot be that antisocial that we forsake what&#39;s happening around. World is crazy. You have to raise your opinion unless you see the white flag around (not in case if you can&#39;t stand your statement) On the positive side I see that few have been motivated and came up for the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual and&amp;nbsp;Trans-gender) community to&amp;nbsp;forecast&amp;nbsp;their selves.&amp;nbsp;Fight for your cause, become social and love yourself.

Pakistan also points to India&#39;s failure of not understanding its own political logic and applying it to Kashmir, by taking their opinion on the case of the accession of Junagadh as an example (that the Hindu majority state should have gone to India even though it had a Muslim ruler), that Kashmir should also rightfully and legally have become a part of Pakistan since majoirity of the people were Muslim, even though they had a Hindu ruler. Pakistan also states that at the very least, the promised plebiscite should be allowed to decide the fate of the Kashmiri people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;&quot;&gt;India on the other hand asserts that the Maharaja&#39;s decision, which was the norm for every other princely state at the time of independence, and subsequent elections, for over 40 years, on Kashmir has made it an integral part of India. This opinion has often become controversial, as Pakistan asserts that the decision of the ruler of Junagadh also adhered to Pakistan. Due to all such political differences, this dispute has also been the subject of wars between the two countries in 1947 and 1965, and a limited conflict in 1999.

If this were only tissue, rather than a dismembered child, it wouldn’t be hard to look at, would it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question we should ask is not “Why are pro-life people showing these pictures?” but “Why would anyone defend what’s shown in these pictures?” The real concern about pictures of unborn babies isn’t that they’re gory, but that they prove the accuracy of the pro-life position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if abortion isn’t killing babies... then why are these pictures so disturbing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was the solution to the Holocaust to ban the disgusting pictures? Or was the solution to end the killing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the solution to abortion getting rid of pictures of dead babies? Or is it getting rid of what’s making the babies dead?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;~&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;taken from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epm.org/blog/2011/Jan/10/evidence-doesnt-lie&quot; style=&quot;color: #2244bb;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Randy Alcorn&#39;s blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;PHOTOS HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO SOME ISSUES REGARDING VIEWS.
