Chapter 2, We played Cricket on mountains



In chapter 1, I opened about how I got into this mass communication. In this chapter I will tell you about the experiences of field. When I was done with graduation, I was looking for a job. Even though I wanted it to be related to journalism but I didn’t get one. There were people back from hometown telling me to find one and utilise my time.  My brother had a friend, who got me hooked with my first job as a content writer which didn’t last more than 20 days. Neither I enjoyed working there nor they paid enough for me to stay.
Once, when I was working there I got a call from someone whom I knew from my previous internship asking me to work for a  web portal in Himachal Pradesh. I was more than happy to take that offer into consideration and after talking to my parents I finally decided to take that. That’s how I reached Himachal Pradesh probably one of the beautiful places I have ever been and found myself a dream job.
It was really awesome roaming between mountains in late September with friends talking to the locals about the upcoming election. There were few houses where our vehicle couldn’t reach because there were no roads. We had to climb mountains to reach them to have them say on the problems they were facing and how the government was doing ?
Some days, after work we went for bathing in mountains witnessing one of the coldest natural water. Rocks were established by the water force in such a way that we had the luxury of doing cannonball and back flips which I never perfected in 4 months. We were about 10 people and one day, we had this competition where we had to keep our nose in water for as long as we can. And if I am not mistaken I won twice.  
We played country’s favourite sport in mountains near the coast of the lake. It was difficult to find the right place because there were lot many bushes and plants everywhere. Somehow we managed to find a place with less bushes and nailed the game. Whenever the ball was hit higher in the sky, incredible mountain birds use to cheer us with their air dance after seeing our gaming emotions
Population density there was way too lower than Delhi. Local people specially from villages were so overwhelmed seeing us that, they often use to offer us for staying the night. Like my friend Prem say, they thought that god has come to visit us. The only reason was, they had lot many problems and we reached their homes as journalists. We asked them to have their say on the availability of basic needs which made them comfortable to open up.  People had lot many good things and bad things to say about their present and previous MLAs.  
I will continue chapter 3 and will post in day after tomorrow.

Democracy allows protest, not violence and death with it.

We have seen many popular protests in India. Some were democratic and some were non-violent and undemocratic. Famous Anna Hazare’s agitation for Lokpal Bill in country’s Capital was non-violent and very cooperative. Jat Agitation in country was violent and the government lost crores. And then there were people who went mad over arresting of Ram Rahim Baba. Here also we lost capitals. Before few days farmers were protesting in Maharashtra which was very silent and non-violent. Protests and agitations makes democracy beautiful but on the name of them if you are involved in killing of people how could you justify it. Great Mahatma Gandhi had many shades, his best one was non-violence. However, some people think that there were instances where he should have gone against it. The country lost millions of Capital with the Bharat Bandh today when people were on road protesting against the decision of supreme court in making changes in SC\ST act. Disagreeing with the decision and marchi...

Can't Khans express their views???

What's wrong in aamir statement  ??? He just said what his wife said to him. Doesn't he have the freedom of expression. Can't he speak in his own country??? Some foolish and stupid people make nonsense from newsense.  Some of the people  Specially politicians just overreact and make it a political issue for their benefits.. People are making the bad use of new media either through Whatsapp or through Facebook by forwarding the message of not seeing Khan's movies.. Ok you people doesn't want to watch their movies because they spoke in favour of tolerance.  Suppose this same statement would have been said by any hindu actor, Have u done the same??? No, this issue wouldn't have become this much big.  We people say that our country is secular but The message and pictures which are being forwaded does it satisy our secularism. It is written in message that don't watch movies of muslims , ok tell me If you doesn't watch their movies coz they (SRK & Aamir...

कितना महत्वपूर्ण है सलमान का जेल में नाश्ता न करना

पिछले 2,3 दिनों के खबर पर अगर नजर डाले तो सलमान खान ही दिख रहें है। मिजोरम के एनआईटी कॉलेज में एक छात्र की जान कॉलेज के खराब खाने से चली गयी, वहा के छात्र इस पर धरने पर बैठे है। इसकी खबर कितनों ने दिखाई। किसानों को उनके आलु के दाम ठीक से नहीं मिल पा रहे कहां पढ़ लिया आपने। पेट्रोल के दाम कई जगहों पर 80 के पार चले गये, इस पर कितने बहस सुन लिए या लेख पढ़ लिए। जो गलती हमने श्री देवी जी के देहांत को कवर करने में की, वहीं गलती आज फिर दोहरा रहे है। क्या सलमान एक आम इंसान की तरह जेल में रहने पर अपने आने वाली फिल्मों में वही एक्शन और स्टाइल नहीं दोहरा पाएंगे। मैनें पहले भी लिखा है और आज भी लिख रहा हु। मीडिया से ज्यादा इसमें हमारी गलती है, हम देखते ही क्युं है ऐसी खबरों को। क्यों जरुरी है ये जानना कि सलमान जेल में कैसे बाथरुम का प्रयोग कर रहे हैं। हमें फर्क इस बात से पड़ना चाहिए कि संसंद का काम इतना कम क्यों हुआ है। एक न्युज पोर्टल के मुताबिक पिछले 18 सालों में सबसे कम काम इसी बजट सत्र में हुआ है। “ पीआरएस लेजिस्लेटिव रिर्सच ” (जो विधायी कार्यों के सोध से जुड़ी संस्था है) ने बताया कि दो ...
