Most unforgettable moments of any one's life are the college days.

Most unforgettable moments of any one's life are the college days. The delightful time starts when you know lots of new stuff, friendship with new people, makes love and other dissimilar things that are not associated with studies. The collective lives, the food, and the entertaining experience of living in dorms on campus with thousands of other people our age truly can't be beat, and the new personality of it all makes it even more thrilling as we live through these days.

Everyone knows this pain; the day when we are coming in college & the day when we are leaving our college. But maintaining quality long-term friendships is difficult today because people progress often and there are many technological and media disturbance. The geographic and personal space between people continues to grow, and there are some hurtful effects for those who lack quality relationships. Friends are essential because they provide emotional strength in a person's life. Making friends is like managing a bank account. You must make investments, and it is never too early to start.

Yet, for some motive there are people who seem to not appreciate this fact and will frequently invade another person’s space without any consideration. The reasons someone will invade personal space would be. Someone has accidentally invaded their space, another person has purposely invaded their space, or the person who feels like their space was invaded has too large of a personal fizz. While each is caused by a different reason, the fact is having your space invaded is painful and is something people can find hard to deal with properly.

However, the truth is that if you understand what happens when your space is invaded, the better off you are in resolving the situation. For this reason it is a good idea to closely look at the reasons you feel you space has been invaded and how to best deal with those situations. In the end, there is no doubt that personal space is extremely important to us. But, by understanding ourselves and others we can begin to limit the conflicts that are often caused when we feel our spaces are threatened.

We always seem to have people that have given lip service to being a friend. But many times, I have been influenced that they are not. I have found that most people who have pretended to be as friends have shown their true colors when the chips were down. I hear people tell me all the time, I have lots of friends. But the fact is I have a few that are near and dear to me, still I’m forced to say that the most unforgettable moments of any one's life are the college days.

Did I missed that breaking news

Ahh Indian media is changing, ya its true there’s no denying on the issue. when you switch on the idiot box and surf for news with your tool (remote). I mean one will be full of chaos that which channel is for news and for entertainment. But the only stuff that gone help you is the logo of the channel, otherwise it would have been a serious issue. I’m saying this because all Indian news channels have been 24X7 showing clippings of entertainment soaps and updating it viewers. They not only confined to the updates, but showing even whole episodes of some comedy shows or reality shows.

One of the leading channels yesterday showed Salman Khan promoting his upcoming film “Dabaang” at some engineering college in jaipur. The episode was issued as ‘Breaking news’ as salman requested for off for the student next day and during the promotion some of the faculty members and principal danced to the beats of salman. Now let it be  the news about Big B blog on metro rail development destroying his privacy. So you must be getting what I’m trying to focus the media today is just creating hype on some senseless issues and still we are helpless to switch off or change the channel.

Journalism was known for its ethic and journalist as a Nobel professional. Today journalists basically find actual new stories in Morgue because now we don’t find news on news channels. The channels are focused on raising advertisement fund so u get 4 hours of add free free on it. The only change that  can still take place is the start of screening of Movies on news channel.  This would not amaze me as I know it would be possible soon. One can only find news in broadsheet even I do the same, read  newspaper for my daily scope of news. But isn’t it sad to see our country suffering from such nuisance. Today we are developing in all stream so why the medium of communication getting into such shame. The media should think in the public interest and not in self -interest.    

The meaning of news “A report of recent occurences; information of something that has lately taken place, or of something before unknown; fresh tindings; recent intelligence.”

Hope my thoughts reach to right people and at least some would think on such issues because common man is suffering and irritated with the current scenario of the media.

Mirchiwadi - A Struggle overlooked!!

“Mirchiwadi” a tribal village about 2-3km from Ambernath that I visited with my group as a part of our project work (Making a News Feature).It’s really not easy to get there, but if you get their it not easy to stay there for more 20-30 min as it feels like you are in an awkward situation and you want to get out as soon as possible. Our group consisted of Rasika, Naziya, Mamta, barkha & me with one localite who guided us to the location. Rasika was the one who had the concept of making aware that masses of Mumbai and Ambernath about the current situation of Mirchiwadi. She is the one in the group that wants to help people in need, that’s not all whenever she finds a child beggar on stations she always give money or food or anything that can help. It’s in the family one can say who knew Molly Madam (rasika’s Mom), she is really a kind person with helpful nature and a popular Badlapur’ite.

The basic information that we received was that there was no electricity in Mirchiwadi since independence, but when we reached the place I saw a dish Tv antenna on one of the roof. We all were amazed by it, after an interrogation with localites it was all clear. The new development at the place was street light that was a gift thanks to last elections and so people started illegal development  i.e. theft of electricity. They were soon fined for it by the government officials. As we had girls in our team they were all scared on location as localities like this where not visited by them before. They don’t have gender bias for drinking at mirchiwadi, the tribe were high and scared my team mates specially barkha & mamta you should have seen their faces during the encounter with the old lady and an sense less old man.

The condition of Mirchiwadi is worst than before as now it has electricity, medical facilities and a school but it’s not administered nor utilized. Katkaris who reside here have lived on hand to mouth basis, mainly due to lack of basic infrastructure development. The male members of the family work in brick kilns, the women pick recyclable garbage from dumping grounds in the vicinity. The children on the other hand while away their time playing. Absence of school in the neighborhood and lack of determination on the part of their parents leaves no choice for children but to roam around aimlessly until they adapt to work as their parents did. The wadi has a school of its own, by the efforts of Gyan Sagar Educational and Social Organisation, but only in its early days of setup it had a teacher and was closed in just 6 month of functioning due to lack of a teacher.

Rajesh Jagtap, a journalist who went in search of a story at wadi, but after observing the condition resolved to help the people of Mirchiwadi. He made regular visit to the place and the conditions was improving but soon came the cooperators who indulged in cheap political games and so rajesh stopped his visits.”I tried helping them, but I don’t want to get into cheap politics and I’m tired of such irritating politicians that use this people as vote banks”. Today the condition is worst than before as they are unemployed, basic ammonites like water, electricity and road is not to their reach.

The resident of Mirchiwadi are illiterate and so don’t know much beyond the cooperators. Today what they need is a legal aid with the support of youth who can bring a change. As it shame on our part that Mirchiwadi being a part of Ambernath Municipal Council (AMC) is being neglected. Our media and government still not taking this issue seriously.  We made the feature news on mirchiwadi because we felt we can and we will make a difference!!!!

Trust is what one need!!!

Every relation today needs trust! I have seen enough, one can say if they put themselves in my shoes. No no its not that I have been into many relation and learned something at the end of each, the fact is that I have not been into any relationship yet. But still observed many around me and so I can say that trust is what one need if they want a successful relationship. The ingredient of power in a romantic relationship is a dangerous thing, and causes many affiliation problems. It is widely experienced by both sexes. A relationship which truly comes from the heart cannot survive the control issues and it tears away at trust. How can one expect his partners to trust one another when he is trying to control the other? It's an effort to control something that one doesn't find lovable at all. The control is the stuff that always ends in “Break UP” because after all we are human beings packed with emotions.

I think that people who suffer from such situation should give sometime to themselves instead of being high on emotion and remembering the past that shattered them. I know it’s not that easy to do so, but one has to focus on the present than the past that went by breaking one’s trust that cannot be structure overnight. Trust has the power to hurt when one is in relation, when an important person violates a trust and harms the other in the process, trust doesn't just shrink back to the prior stage it goes away entirely.

Rumors an important element that breaks the trust, under different conditions, rumor can cause serious trust issues. Many relations have been broken up by false accusations. I know one boy who used trust issues to destroy a relation so he could have the girl it worked. Well, it isn't easy! Trust grows slowly and, if broken, heals more slowly. Relationship trust issues are complex and painful. With patience and love, though, it's usually possible to overcome distrust and grow a healthy, long-term relationship. Just imagine the day you can finally rest in each other's trust, fully able to be yourselves, knowing you're just the person the other one wants to be with.

If you really want to lesson problems in your relationship and build trust with your partner then let go of a need to control and find ways to be supportive of one another. The Day you get trust you’ll get Happiness in life!!!

scribbling on notes.....Think again!!!

Indian growing economy is focusing on a new campaign for designing a symbol for Indian Rupee. Just like US dollar ($) or Pound (£), the symbol would reflect the Indian Economic Growth presence in global market. The symbol should be as simple as Rs. Common Man of India is not a designer and he can’t design the symbol whenever writing an amount in Indian Currency. Government has even announced that the designer who will provide the best suitable design for Indian Currency will be awarded with 2.5 Lakhs INR. One can vote for the best suitable currency on Times Of India website where they have collected some samples from visitors. 

But what is BUZZING me is wherever I go; I find new information that comes free with every note let it be of any value. I dono why the hell people use currency as waste paper, Though the clean note policy of Reserve Bank of India and Banking Regulation Act clearly restrict any writing or inscription on the watermark window of currency notes, people still write or print on notes due to unawareness. India spends about 2000crores per year as loss to change the currency with new once and now Indians on their ‘Text Messages’ to make masses aware about it. As this notes can’t be used in standard transactions.

You might be thinking why I’m into this ill just say I’m doing the best I can spreading the message and awaking people to direct some onto the right path. In Varanasi a new trend of printing the name of bridegroom and bride on the watermark window of currency notes has begun and when some TOI reporters contacted the replies from bankers and police where the most interesting. They admitted it was illegal but din know the IPC to register the case. On the other hand, when the RBIs guidelines and Banking Regulation Act were checked it was found that writing on the watermark window of bank notes is punishable under Section 35A of the Banking Regulation Act 1949. In order to give the citizens good quality currency notes, the RBI had already prepared a Clean Note Policy and in November 2001 issued instructions to all the banks not only to do away the stapling of note packets but also urged members of public not to write on the currency notes.
 
The RBI surely has issued a comprehensible guideline in this view some years ago but still there are no takers of it. The bankers who were surprised to see the name of bride and groom printed on a currency note did not overlook to expose that they had seen currencies with political slogans and symbols of parties in past. But, they had nothing to say when asked what action was initiated in such matter. While a number of people are starting a new trend of utilizing the watermark window to remain memorable for long, the ordinary people are still forced to write their contact details on the same window of higher denomination notes by the telecom and other service providers at the time of bill clearance. This custom is followed to trace the origin of the note if it turns out fake. 

Now even if a symbol for Indian Rupee would be recognized, but what aid would it give to Indian people who merely use it as a waste paper to write their rough work …..Indirectly damaging   the economies of India …do stop anyone who scribbles on notes .In this way you can help the economy and be a responsible citizen...act Smart....before its too late....

JAI HIND!!!!!!!!

Being a Bmm’ite itself is a pleasure indeed....

Sands of time flies down the memory lane

holding forth a thousand stories of fun and fame

My travels take me on a life's journey

Through the wild mysterious Somaiya Lane

Strands of hair caressed by the breeze

Wave across the blooming campus

Geared with my golden past and a smile on my face

I ride on my memory as it make me low…

World flow past my eyes

Pretty, happy and sad sights

All part and parcel of the journey called life

That none can escape from after being a Bmm’ite

A little flower hit my chest from campus breeze

It could have been you but its only me…

It was life's plan for this flower to touch my heart today

And make me feel you are never far away

Splashes of water from the falls ....

Whispering a thousand stories it has seen by

Stories of many break off never ending it seems...

And carved the pain by presence in each drop of water, flowing on and off...

My ride takes me along paths …

A new path, a new road paved for me

Little do I know where this way will take me

I do know I am going to cherish and enjoy the journey truly...                                  

Coz being a Bmm’ite itself is a pleasure indeed…….

That all One can say when you have few days left to go….

Estro – The Media Fest.

A new year with extra charged students more events more fun but same old enthusiasm & culture where every other person gets a fair chance to represent themselves. This was quite clear at S.K. Somaiya College of Arts, Science and Commerce annual cultural fest called ‘UTKARSH’, an umbrella event under which the college also celebrated the media fest called ‘ESTRO’.      

‘ESTRO’- the media festival for two consecutive days on 23^rd and 24^th of December was yet again a much celebrated and successful event for the bmm’iets and college eventually. Once again it witnessed a smooth sequence of many flourishing events.  students from various colleges in Mumbai participated in various events like ad films, short films, documentaries, live reporting, and many more media related events that summed up to 12 such extravagant events. The events were judged by esteemed media personalities, to name a few were, Kunal deshmukh- one of the directors of Bhatt camp, director of recent bollywood flicks ‘Tum Mile’ and ‘Jannat’ fame, Chetan Pandit a well known actor who has worked in movies like-jail, a Wednesday, apharan and many more, Latesh shah – a well known media personality in advertising fraternity, and many more graced the event with their presence.

The event was not only a platform for students to showcase their talent but also is a dais to get noticed, as the event gives them the exposure to fell free and exhibit their talent for the world to see. As the event was for the well being of the aspiring media professionals, the entertainment for the same was also kept for the buzz to grow. The festival was filled with amazing fillers that kept everyone glued to their seats for the rest of the events. The fillers included two dance performances by two different groups and two different bands that gave live performances on songs of various genres.

All in all one can say ESTRO was a complete blend of education, exposure and celebration.
