Pathetic journalism

Women’s groups protest newspaper report on rape case via Hindu

I am wondering what kind of sickness does the society have to to want to read the details of rape or identity of a rape victim. I am saying this cause mumbai mirror must have thought this to be masala article to sell its pages of so called newspaper. Would you want to read about some gory murder details... in newspaper. A newspaper is read by all age groups all strats of society... the definition of news is changing so fast that some how it does not remain news anymore. The so called news channel, the so called newspapers what do they have? What do they reflect? What do they say?

What happened to news being a peice of information be worthy of mentioning? What happened to news article giving you just information and you being capable of making up your own mind about it?
What happened to news being unbaised?
What happened to news being facts?

Now to get the correct picture I have to read 10 differnet sources to see the bits that are overlapping and assume well that must be the true part of this entire news facade.

dastan jo adhuri rah jaye...
sapne jo pure na ho paye...
kyo dil na jane unpe aasu bhaye.
vo dastan nahi thi jismain apne the
vo sapne nahi the jinmain kushiya thi
fir kyo dil naye nahi saja paye.
kyo tham ke chalte hai kadam
kyo nahi hote pata bharosa firse

Makes you hold your head up and be proud

Miracle called 108 via the Pioneer

I was reading this article and I realized that this was not just an effective ambulance service but it reflected the need of the hour in India(or may be across the world). The catch line - “good souls with right values.” it is so every important. It is not just your technical skills that matter but it is your attitude that matters and it matters a lot. “If the attitude of an applicant is not okay, we don’t hire him.” Some how we are forgetting the importance or the need of being good human being. The importance of being kind or the importance of caring. And this article reminds us of important it is. We are all(I am referring to Indians) in our pursuit to be on the top are forgetting to be on the top of the list of being good humans. When did these values change? When did it become alright to be corrupt? We the nation that survives on providing service to the rest of the world forgot to service its own country. Our country is not falling behind because of lack of talent, or even lack of money or lack of entrepreneurship.... We are falling behind due to lack of character.
I am as proud an Indian as any one but we need to look at ourselves see where the change is needed instead of pride taking the first step then tripping over on its face.
India will change if elections are fought on providing services like these and maintaining the quality of it too. Why not fight election or real issues instead of silly fake propaganda.
