2010-A Shady Year !

T

he year 2010 is ending with the hearsay, in spite of two years long investigation now eminent Arushi Murder Case would be shut. This news is not only shock for the friends and family of Arushi Talwar but also for the populace of the nation who anticipate some stroke against transgression.

The shut down has put in a big question mark on the competence of the C.B.I. When this case came in lime light every commoner covet to witness who has perform this type of misdemeanor. This case because of labors of Indian Media was in lime illumination for many days.  This case was not only investigated by state police, Central agency and the Central Bureau of Investigation but the upshot is thumbs down.

 

This case can be compared to a movie where first police suspected the person who was himself dead in the same case. Yes I am talking about Talwar’s Servant Hemraj who was the first person who was supposed in the case but his own dead body was recovered from the Terrace. Then after that investigating agencies alleged scores of people including Arushi’s father Dr. Talwar but the conclusion is zilch. Media Trial in this case was also not cherished.

Now when C.B.I has also capitulated from the examination of this case this can be avowed that till now the so called mistakes were pre-planned. On first day of the instance when dead body of Hemraj was on patio police not even thought of stopover the place. Allegation put on him; police not only tried to shut down the case but also lend a hand in annihilate the evidence. Then when body was recovered the assertion was shifted to the Talwar duo then the second servant, driver, comp ponder they were not only examined but also detained and alleged. This simply shows the competence of the Investigating Agencies of our nation.

Not merely Arushi Case but we can also observe Ruchika Gehrotra Case where also investigating agency was mislaid. Whether it’s the Nithari Case where whole accusation were put on the servant Surendra Kohli and the Pandher at this instant is unsoiled. These are some of the paradigm which has ruined the competence of the Investigating Agencies of our country.

This year was the Corruption Year where we can see several protagonists who can assert the Most Corrupt Consign. I would like to memorize the year for personage like Sachin Tendulkar, Saina Nehwal, Sushil Kumar, Nitish Kumar, Vinayak Sen. Populace got U.I.D and our currency Rupees got its sign are also bonus of the year. And undoubtedly I don’t want to have down pat fraudulent like A.Raja, Suresh Kalmadi and Meera Radia.

Congress Book – the partly truth

O

n the occasion of 125^th Establishment Day of Indian National Congress a book has been published. This book can simply be stated as a medium which is detriment ling the history.   The most fallacious part of the book named “Congress and the making of the nation” is all the vindictiveness shown by the party at the time of Emergency months had been curbed to Sanjay Gandhi and not the party.

 I undoubtedly agree that some of the decisions of Sanjay Gandhi made the situation most awful not only for the populace but also for the party. But Congress has overlook that Sanjay Gandhi is fraction of the party. And till now party was silent on his role.

It is straight that now his family is away from the party so now all blameworthiness has been given to him because at time of Emergency Indira Gandhi was the proprietor and Sanjay Gandhi was under her shadow.

The Editor of Chief of this book is finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. This book has analyzed fittingly role of Rajiv Gandhi and p.v narasimha rao one one hand this is achievement of this book. But on the other hand has eulogize role of Jaiprakash Narayan at the time of Emergency and J.P agitation but termed it as un-target agitation. In fact this book has also alleged that every agitator at that point of time was erroneous.

Book has assumed that Rajiv Gandhi was abortive in making the party further potent. And first time has praised the role of P.V narasimha rao. Nehru-Gandhi family has been praised for being booming for running government for five years being from outside and also would be remembered for financial regulation shaped.

 

And as expected the blame for the Babri Demolition has been set to BJP state government and leaders of BJP. Role of Central Congress government has not been specified. Like this illustration only Rahul Gandhi has been eulogize for bringing back congress in Uttar Pradesh, National Election 2010 but no information has been precise for ghastly performance of the party in Bihar State Elections. This book would be go into raptures over for number of right scrutinizing.

The ne plus ultra of soulful poetry: Kumar Vishwas

A charismatic persona, gifted with a mellifluous voice, none other than Dr. Kumar Vishwas mesmerized the students and staff at Centre of Media Studies, University of Allahabad on Dec 21^st 2010, on the occasion of Photography Exhibition organized at Nirala Art Gallery.

Dr. Vishwas is a well known face among youth. His verses unfold the reality and dilemma of youth’s life and his spontaneity and versatility captivate the audience.

I would also like to thank our course coordinator Mr. Dhananjay Chopra for organizing Dr. Vishwas’s visit in our department.

Dr. Vishwas was here to interact with students on Media and Society. He addressed the students on commercialization in Media, degrading Educational system and extinguishing morality and virtues in our society and among youth. He also targeted the national icons for their irresponsible behavior and mentioned what they could have done for the welfare of the Nation. His innovative ideas, inspirational views and stupendous words left the students spellbound.

As a flower is incomplete without its fragrance similarly Dr. Vishwas’s presence is incomplete without his poetry...

His poems created a sublime aura and as soon as he quoted his most celebrated lines… “Koi deewana kehta hai koi pagal samajhta hai….” the audience showed their appreciation with a huge round of applause.

As we know, ‘no good movie is too long’ likewise we felt his presence was too short. He promised to visit us again and then took a view of the majesty of Photography Exhibition.

With this the gala came to an end.

But the glorious memories will ever remain..

PRESS VISIT: A Report

On 3^rd December 2010, Friday we the students of Centre of Media Studies of University of Allahabad were very excited as our Course Coordinator Mr. Dhananjay Chopra had planned a press visit for students of B.A. in Media Studies Sem I in association with HINDUSTAN MEDIA VENTURES LIMITED. At 11:30 am from our centre we department for Hindustan Media Ventures limited, Naini by a bus. Within an hour we reached our destination.

As we reached there we entered a small hall and there we were introduced to Mr. Umesh Dhuliya, Head In charge of HMVL. There students were divided into groups. Then we were taken to CTP room. It was a room where CTP (Computer to Plate) machine was placed. Also some computer systems were there and they were connected to Editor’s office by lease line. Mr. Dhuliya explained us the steps involved in printing a newspaper. The very first step is that the Advertisement Department releases a dummy, allocating the place for advertisement. The editorial board is free to use the remaining space. The headlines, pictures etc are decided by the desk. When the entire page is decided then it is sent to printing press by lease line which connects the office and the press.

The work of CTP machine thus starts. The CTP machine in HMVL is from Germany and costs 1.5 Crore. In 15 minutes we get four plate output thus saves time and is technologically upgraded. An aluminum sheet with polymer coating is inserted into the device. Laser beam technology is used and computer is connected to the machine. Hence the page appears on the aluminum sheet with clear text and figures. This demonstration was followed by practical experience of how newspaper is actually printed. Outside the CTP room there was a workplace where machinery was setup. At the initial position a big roll of paper was adjusted so as to print the newspaper. The arrangement was according to four colours viz... Red, Yellow, Cyan and Black. Aluminum sheets were placed and the percentage of colours was adjusted. By step by step processing the newspaper is finally obtained as output. Besides we were also given basic information regarding newspaper printing. E.g. grey line at the bottom of the newspaper and registration mark etc. used for verification of proper printing.

We also got an opportunity to interact with Mr. Mukul Mishra, Editor; Mr. Brijendra Singh, Chief Reporter; and Mr. Umesh Dhuliya, Head In charge of the plant. They gave us much information, answered our queries and also motivated us to work hard in order to excel in our field.

We captured a few moments in our cameras and returned. A press visit as a media student was a memorable moment for all of us and equally beneficial for our future.
