This Saturday, we had KU farewell party where one of our friends from Electrical, Neeraj Tripathi came out with an exceptionally sentimental poem mentioning the lives of BHU dwellers. I hope you all would like it too
Raah dekhi thi is din ki kabse
aage ke sapne saja rakhe thhey naajane kab se
bade utavle the yahaan se jaane ko
zindagi ka agla padaav paane ko
par naa jane kyon ..dil mein aaj kuch aur aata hai
waqt ko rokne ka jee chahta hai
jin baton ko lekar rote the
aaj un par hansi aati hai
na jaane kyon aaj un palon ki yaad bahut aati hai
kaha karte the ..badi mushkil se char saal seh gaya
par aaj kyon lagta hai ki kuch peeche reh gaya
na bhoolne wali kuch yaadein reh gayi
wapas na kar paane wali baatein reh gayi,
meri taang ab kaun kheencha karega
sirf mera sir khane kaun mera peecha karega
jahaan 2000 ka hisaab nahin wahaan 2 rupay ke liye kaun ladega
kaun raat bhar saath jag kar padhega
KAUN MERI gaadi mujse pooche bina lejayega
kaun mere naye naye naam banayega
kaun sem ke ek raat pehle padhayega,
kaun girlfriend ka naam le leke chidhyega...
kaun kam number aane pe dilasa dilayega
kaun galti se number aane par gaaliyaan sunayega
VT par cold coffee kis ke saath piyoonga
wo haseen pal ab kis ke saath jiyoonga
mere class mein rehte hue meri proxy kaun lagayega....
cold drink ki shart pe ladkiyon ke tyre ki hawa kaun nikalwayega...
number aane par maar kaun lagayega....
girl friend ke samne neecha kaun dikhayega...
party party karke jaan kaun khayega...
aur cafe lejakar khali purse kaun dikhayega....
lan par games kiske saath khelunga....
aur jisne maara usko pakad kar kaise pelunga...
ghar waalon ko fanti ke baare mein kaun batayega...
aur apne saamne dant padwakar kaun daant dikhayega....
ji bhaiya kehkar meri baat kaun maanega....
itne respect se aur kaun pehchanega....
kisko mein apni aisi pakau poems sunaunga....
basti jakar un bachhon ko kaise padhaunga,...
aur gussa hue vishwakarma ko kaise manaunga...
pata nahi kisse itna pyaar paaunga...
aise dost kahaan milenge
jo khai mein bhi dhakka de aayein
par fir tumhein bachane khud bhi kood jayein
mere gaano se pareshaan kaun hoga
kabhi muje class mein sote dekh hairaan kaun hoga
kaun kahega saale tere joke pe hansi nahin aai
kaun peeche se bula ke kahega..aage dekh bhai
movies mein kiske saath dekhhonga
kis ke saath boring lectures jheloonga
mere farzee certificates ko raddi kehne ki himmat kaun karega
bina dare sachi rai dene ki himmat kaun karega
achanak bin matlab ke kisi ko bhi dekh kar paglon ki tarah hansna
na jaane ye fir kab hoga
keh do doston ye dobaara sab hoga
doston ke liye professor se kab lad payenge
kya hum ye sab fir kar payenge
raat ko 2 baje kuch khane lanka kaun jayega
tez gaadi chalane ki shart kaun lagayega
kaun muje mere kabiliyat par bharosa dilayega
aur jyada hawa mein udne par zameen pe layega
meri khushi mein sach mein khush kaun hoga
mere gam mein muj se jyada dukhi kaun hoga......

Good News?
Yesterday I received a mail from Mr. Madison from Wu Travels saying that they are interested to put up advertisements at my blog (and obviously pay me for that). At first it appeared to me as an attempt to hack my ID through some foul play. I enquired about the firm and mailed them regarding my curiosity. So far the tone of mails has been professional and appears to be genuine.
Not actually I am delighted to get any such offer but the thing that thrilled me is that they found me suitable for this; God knows what parameters I fulfilled that I got selected for this
So if any of you has any sort of experience in this field, kindly let me know

Media: Blind or Hypocrite?
These days whenever I talk to any of my friends over the situation in India, I always get the same repetitive replies. When I talk to them of communalism, they know only one name, that of Modi as if he is the first person who failed to give security to its fellow citizens. When I talk of suppression of the right to express, everyone has the same much propagated news of protests by VHP, Bajrang Dal etc as if no other religious group has acted in an extremist fashion
Considering this is a nation where people imitate west and bollywood blindly, no wonders if they got victim to the partial truth exposed by the media. Being a youth and a person living with youths, I can say that the younger generation is least concerned to investigate the truth. They swallow whatsoever is offered to them and not to mention the fact that that many of the youths read newspapers just to crack some competitive exam. Hence in any of the debate, they vomit what they have swallowed.
In this post, I would try to come up with facts that were not covered by media at all ; the media was either blind or hypocrite over those issues
1. Whenever I have read the term ‘Vandalize’ in the newspaper Hindu, it has always been used to describe some nuisance by Hindu religious extremists like protests by VHP over M F Hussain etc. Surprisingly media has never talked of protests against Taslima Nasreen and Salman Rushdie to this extent. But today I would reveal a case where Police vandalized an art exhibition just because it was showcasing what kind of ruler Aurangzeb was. After reading all this things, the questions that come to mind are-what kind of people could have problem in truths about Aurangzeb being showcased, what kind of governments do we have that can go to any extent to appease minorities? Are we living in Pakistan? Media was too eager to blame VHP that even during Amarnath issue furor, no channel mentioned the growing extremism and reducing hindu rights
2. Media is often seen protesting against Hindu religious extremists alleging them for having zero spirit of tolerance and condoning violence. Here I would bring to light an incident in Kolkata where the editor of the newspaper Statesman simply translated a text and published it. Soon there was a furore accompanied with subsequent violence. The question is – why wasn’t this issue raised with equal weightage and no debate done like they do every other day over Hindu religious issues?
3. Whenever it comes to riot, my friends have been brain washed to believe that Gujarat, Orissa and Karnataka are the only states where riots have occurred. I would let you all know of a riot which happened in my own hometown Mau. Several Temple Idols were vandalized and shown disrespect, many died with the possible involvement of Don Mukhtar Ansari . At the time when Barkha was busy covering the Gujarat riots, atrocity upon Hindus occurred once again in Kerala, but our secular media was least interested. Very unfortunately, riots/clashes happened in Rabodi, Jintur or Nanded didn’t get any place in media at all. Root causes were never brought to knowledge of a common man. What kind of secularism is this? This is not at all an extremism and vote bank politics for media. Wasn’t this a riot ?
4. When a dilapidated mosque was demolished in India, what followed is history but surprisingly when the 300 year old and still active rehman mosque was demolished in Pakistan, media remained silent. Taliban demolished that mosque since music was practiced there and as per them music is forbidden in their religion. We all have seen how our fellow brothers protest over US attacks in Afghanistan, Iraq but once again there was no hue and cry by them over this demolition? Why this silence? (Issue raised in Dainik Jagran’s editorial, printed edition)
5. When Sethu Samudram issue got raised, impotent central government filed an affidavit saying that Lord Rama has no proof of existence and hence the project must carry on. Can this very same central government ever file an affidavit saying that since Jesus has no proof, let us demolish churches. Similarly NDTV even went to an extent to say that Ramayana is a myth and hence in modern times, Lord Rama should be depicted with modern accessories. Can this channel say the same thing about prophets in other religions? Definitely no, we all have seen the furor over Denmark issue. Then why these double standards by our Indian media?
6. When media discussed Varun’s statement issue with so enthusiasm, then how come they neglect this issue. Surprisingly, no reporter ever tried to find out if the people in Pilibhit are really being persecuted? (Click here for more)
7. Why media never discusses the anomalies in NCERT books?
8. Why this partiality ? simply because of vote bank politics, is it too difficult for media to decipher
These were the issues showing the hypocrisy of Media, Let us have a look at facts showing how much is our media blind
1. Media failed to capture the Bangladeshi infiltration to an appropriate extent. No alarming bells were raised; perhaps it wasn’t sensational news for them?
2. Not only national but international media is blind to the atrocities towards Kashmiri Pundits. Click here for more. No slots for growing extremism in the valley
3. Why at all media has never focused on the local supports used by terrorists while planning any terror attack. It is an open secret that no bomb can ever be planted successfully unless there is a local support. Are they not terrorists too?
4. Media has never tried to bring the real face of missionaries to the general public. Missionaries are involved in mass conversions is a widely acknowledged fact, then why is common man debarred to know all this?
5. Religious terrorism has devastated entire North- east (click here) but our media never cared to bring this issue to the notice of a common man. Kandhmal violence was discussed but no one even talked about these issues.
6. Is only one community responsible for riots in India? Definitely not, then why is this difficult for media to figure out that our filmmakers are more interested in getting Oscars than showing both sides of the coin
7. BJP is communal, but when other parties ask for minority votes, aren’t they communal ? What kind of definition do our media follow? Why Congress was not penalized for unable to hang Afzal . Click here for more. Congress and similar other parties are still not communal for them
8. Are Christian missionaries really being persecuted in India? Why only one face of coin is showed to the common masses?
9. Is this not growing extremism ? Just like they found Ram sene as a sign of growing extremism.
I don’t support any extremist group but yes, I expect my fellow citizens to have open eyes, they should hate violence in any form. Cover all news, why to leave the half and present the rest half news? I am not here to support any damn Indian party or religious group, but media should never focus and siege only one community, they should only reveal the facts and let the public decide the root causes
Now let us have a look at who controls our media.
1. Times of India is run by Bennet and Coleman
2. NDTV: Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, General Secretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat are sisters. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired in Pakistan
3. Star TV: Run by an Australian Robert Mudroch
4. The Hindu: English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne, Switzerland . Chairman N. Ram's wife is a Swiss national.
P. S. - To further support the facts mentioned in points 1 and 5, I have the videos with me. All those who are interested to see them can mail me.
