ROZ KI BAAT
Leaning Channels 1. PRO AND ANTI When we see/hear any news channel we are not served the news as it is but it is spiced up according to the editorial policy of the GROUP and/or the spinal strength of it to stand up to the rulers of the day This becomes more prominent when the news is political one specially during election time. The recent KARNATAK... more...

Where is the NEWS ? 1. NEWS It is the short form of North – East –West –South. But some channels particularly the HINDI ones feel it otherwise. 2. loZJs"B           This Channel though having 2 local branches will FLASH Delhi news which has no importance even at local level just to create panic or havoc. This Channel has further knack of SMS busine... more...

Hats Off HESH It is really wonderful to learn that Mahesh Bhupati has decided to play for India in Beijing Olympics with Leander Paes. It shows how big hearted he is. It is needless to recount here old matters, but my assessment is that it was Dr Paes who started it all by dribbling the ball, when I think he was Team Doctor or travelled with team a... more...

Merchant Of Modern Venice 1. Barabanki Vs Venice I am neither interested in AB (Sr), AB (Jr) or the latest AB in whose name the school is going to be built at Daulatpur, Barabanki, UP. The latest episodes, coming after each other has put the UP administration in the dock. 2. Episode one            The story goes that a case has been instituted agai... more...

ATM Woes In one episode, the writer explains her misery with an ATM in The PIONEER, Dated April 1, 2008. I have similar instances. 1. IDBI ATM Once, while operating an ATM of IDBI Bank, the power went off and the ATM Card was swallowed by the machine, never to return it. Ranchi - not being a metro, I went to the Bank’s office and I was told that I ... more...

Name Game 1.The Quote of the day :  SURNAME HELPS Looking at the history, what could have been an innocuous christening moment seems to be a calculated move.  Pt. Nehru never claimed himself to be a Hindu, rather he expressed his distaste on being termed so.  He aptly put a R in India, to make a famous name. Similar calculation appears to have been... more...

Taxing Time
Fool’s Paradise Last week or so, in  an article written by a Tax Expert in Dainik Jagran under the caption “Madhya Warg Par Meharbani” [ Gratitude on Middle Class ] one of the Meharbani stated is : “ The time limit to initiate enquiry has been reduced. Now, the notice can be issued within six months from the end of the financial year in which the r... more...

Consumer ???
Bhago Grahak Bhago - 01 1. Ritual 15th March was celebrated as WORLD CONSUMER RIGHTS DAY. We are daily bombarded by series of advertisements in TV/Newspaper to JAGO. When Doordarshan was the only channel, in India, one TV serial RAJANI was run, where the activist so named fought for the rights of the consumer.  At that time, Consumer rights were a ... more...

Dhoni's Dilemma
Hornet’s Nest 1. Wearing Crown Unnecessary ruckus is being created on an innocuous remark made by Dhoni – the ODI Captain of Team India. He hails from Ranchi and like the order of the day in this country, a Ranchite has self-acquired right to defend him. He is wearing the crown, which he got at the time, when we were being fed with the news that Dr... more...

Reality Shows
Participants across the border 1. Futile Bonhomie In recent past, we have seen in the name of bonhomie participants across the border  (PAB) appearing in the so-called Reality shows. It is worth while to note that Indian legends like Lata Mangeshkar, Jagjit Singh et al are never welcome in our neighbourhood countries, whereas, we continue to call, ... more...

Farmers Loan Waiver (Budget 2008)
The one–time loan waiver of a whopping Rs. 60,000 crores to help an estimated 40 million farmers is definetly a good development for Indian farming sector. The purpose of writing this article is that, while reading the news papers, I came across many people talking insignificant things and only a small section of the people really addressing the ‘t...  more...
