Now Twitter is not only used by journalist but it is beloved among celebrities too. In fact numerous gigantic planet news stories were foremost crack through twitter only.

Reports have come into sight all the way through media that bolloywood celebrity Shah Rukh Khan has clogged tweeting. He uttered that nearly all of the epoch fans pose very personal and vulgar query and additionally share it with their acquaintances. Hearsay also pronounces that a score of other Celebes too have sluggish tweeting but not blocked. The details are akin to that if a bigwig have bunged smoking. But seniors don’t recommend discontinuing tweeting for the reason that it is not awful.

Bhartiya Janta Party has as well recommend Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj to abscond Twitter. She approved the guidance but it turn out to be predicament for the media as at the present they would be incapable to get immense news stories. At the outset enormous news stories can be acquired from twitter like when Bhartiya Janta Party leaders come to a decision to went to Lal Chowk- Srinagar they were congested near the border of Jammu & Kashmir this Republic day, Swaraj was bring up to date each and every minute move on Twitter.

‘Transcending the Obvious: Explorations of Contemporary India’-a bravura set off

The lecture series ‘Transcending the Obvious: Explorations of Contemporary India’ organized by Institute of Professional Studies, University of Allahabad was instigated on 28, March, 2011. The program started with acknowledgment vocalization by Prof. G.K Rai, Director, Institute of Professional Studies, University of Allahabad who elucidated about the lecture series. He also said that in one year at least six lectures would be kick off to link the world of knowledge with the moral of the institute. As he sought not to fabricate one dimensional professionals but who is hard skill professional having sociological familiarity. Further Prof. Rai introduced the inaugural lecturer Prof. Anand Kumar of Jawahar Lal Nehru University. He uttered that he is familiar with Prof. Kumar from more than twenty years. Additional he said that our visitor is not only understanding the society but also serving in altering the world. He is from a family who was having associations with Jai Prakash Narayan. He is backer of Samajwadi philosophy. He supported new courses and worked for advancement of education. He is the only individual who was President of Student Union of Banaras Hindu University furthermore Jawahar Lal University too. He even defeated the prominent communist leader Prakash Karat. Subsequent to this Prof Rai defunct afterward invited Prof. Anand Kumar to commence his inaugural lecture of the series on People, Power and the Paradigm Shift.

After that the plinth was taken in excess by Prof Anand Kumar to begin his lecture. He started by addressing Prof Rai as a gentleman who pioneered novel courses. He also articulated that he is happy to give lecture in a university which from the time of independence movement set the agenda for the nation. In his official lecture he started by expressing that all countries having VETO power are coming towards for collaboration on different structure with our country. By voting our nation showed the potential of our land which is too not there in our neighboring states. The relationship pattern between people and the new paradigm in India, the past two decades have been very significant from the point of view of both economic development and political change. For example Mayawati a dalit lady who has more than times became Chief Minister of the biggest state of our country.

Further in the middle part of his lecture he assumed that Market-induced global competition has been successful in creating a stable and growing economy, which has also influenced poverty reduction and increased political agency in several ways. However, success in enhancing the growth rate is set next to failure of the paradigm in terms of making a major impact on the economics. sociology, geography and politics of poverty. The dynamics of the paradigm shift have been accompanied by several deficits, mainly in relation to legitimacy, development, democracy and governance. This combination of success and failure has created a social setting for a new trajectory of politics since the 1990s, and has been at the root of several new trends in political mobilization of the poor and in policy making. Protests and activism has taken in political mobilization of the poor and in policy making. Protests and activism has taken the following forms: use of electoral power to change the political regime; party-based activism; civil society movements to resist programmes and projects seen as contrary to the interests of the poor; tribal-, class- and caste-based conflicts; and local and national resistance movements.

In the last segment of his lecture Prof. Kumar supposed that Meanwhile, in this policy sphere, this period has been marked by a shift from benign neglect to rapid enactment of a set of basic capacity building rights to check destitution and disenchantment among those seen as the losers in the economic reforms. There has been a new emphasis on policies being inclusive, through the rights-based approach of the citizenship entitlements. This means also addressing the needs of marginalized millions of women, the STs, the SCs, the most backward sections of the Hindus and Muslims and the other faith communities. Every movie cannot be a big hit like Dabangg. In spite of green revolution the 30% of our country populace are not relieved. A bihari labor outside his state is very famous because of its low demands. Social Activist like Medha Patkar does not have mass support. ‘Coalition imperatives’ in government at central and state levels are certainly a disturbingly new feature in India’s postcolonial polity. Meanwhile, the growing reach and significance of democratic protest movements and extremist extra-constitutional challenges around issues of the poor and poverty are equally critical for a country that was until very recently appreciated for its rapid advance towards relatively peaceful parliamentary democracy. He ended his lecture by thanking Prof. G.K Rai for inviting him to give an inaugural lecture of the series and asked the listeners to ask questions.

Furthermore some listeners present raised numerous questions focusing on the importance of English as a language, Democracy is feudal and its effect on economic front and role of Media. In answering the following questions pot on the front of Prof. Kumar articulated on fresh expression “Robinhood Syndrome”. All chief ministers who are advocating stopping student union are consequence of those unions only. The only former attainment is that they were student leaders. The respects for the student union and political parties have vanished. Those who are alongside reservation can glimpse the example of South Africa. He supplementary uttered that he is strictly against Tibet policy of the China. Once a Chinese ambassador visited his university the Chinese said that he like that how Indians are free to go any where he wants. Also the media of India criticize all policies of the political parties and the government which does not prevail in his country. Last but not least answering the question Prof expressed that after the expose of Radia Tapes this has proved that Media Persons who through out the day ask different question in and against the policies of the government and lobby for the port polio in the ministries. The examination under the enormous tyrant Hitlar revealed that ‘Media is business’ is proper. Ground reality of the nation would be known by a student of Allahabad University not a student of Amity University.

After this question-answer session the series moved towards its finish with the vocalization by the President of the session Prof. V.C Pande of University of Allahabad who not only praised Prof Kumar but also articulated that this is a magnificent beginning to the lecture series. And in inaugural lecture most of the prime issues were covered. The congregation ended with the ending lexis by Prof G.K Rai giving vote of thanks. Exclusive of the three Professors i.e. Prof. G.K Rai Director Institute of Professional Studies, University of Allahabad ,Prof Anand Kumar Coordinator Global Studies Programme, Jawahar Lal University and Prof. V.C Pande Professor, University of Allahabad other important listeners present includes Dr. Prashant Agrawal, Dr. Ajay Jaitley, Dhananjai Chopra, Gopal Ranjan with the entire teaching staff of Institute of Professional Studies and some selected students of Center of Media Studies  who became fraction of the illustrious lecture gathering.

HOLI MUBARAK !!!

Imagine the world without colours! Isn’t it Gloomy? Yes! For sure, andthis is the very reason why God filled color in this world. With the arrival of spring the aura turns gleaming as its pave the way for ‘Holi’, the most colorful festival of Hindus or better say the caravan of colours...

The amalgamation of joy, verve and brotherhood is brought enfolded in the month of Phagun (February/March). This fiesta marks an end to the stagnancy of winter and greets the rejuvenation of spring.

There are several myths associated with celebration of holi. It is believed that a cruel king Hiryankashyap, who considered himself to be God, was opposed by his own son Prahlad, who was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu. So Hiryankashyap planed to kill his own son and placed him on a pyre on the lap of his sister Holika. Holika had a boon that fire could harm her in no way. But to the surprise Prahlad was saved and Holika burnt into ashes. Thus it gives us the message: victory of Good over Evil.

 It is also believed that lord Krishna once complained, that why is it so that his complexion is dark and that of his beloved Radha is fair. To this Krishna’s mother Yashoda planned to apply colour on Radha’s face. Thus this festival also adorned with shades of love, mischief, merry making, and fun unlimited.

For Indians festivals are the spice of life, and all the festivals are equally enjoyed by people of all the communities. Even in Mughal courts, in the reign of Akbar and Shajahan Holi was celebrated with great fervor and felicity. India a land of Ram and Raheem, where a Hindi word ‘Holi’ goes with an Urdu word ‘Mubarak’ and thus comes the feel of ‘Holi Mubarak’ with flying colours It is a day to forget all the rivalry and foster brotherhood. Well Holi is a day to engross in colours and hence people play with ‘Gulal’ and colours. Enjoy cuisine like Gujia and Thandai. In certain regions there is no escape without ‘Bhang’ which is mixed in eatables, though it is toxic but is widely used. Moreover Dhols and Holi songs (folk songs) add vigor to the zest…

Commercialization has left no stone unturned. Festivals manifestly turn out to be a great platform. Advertisement of offers in all types of commodity is a common affair. Every newspaper, TV channels, posters, hoardings etcetera hold them. With its influence Politicians have also realized the importance of ornamental publicity, and therefore these days we can easily witness the hoardings of “Holi Greetings” given by those on powers and also by those on opposition. It’s a satire that is it an encouragement to Brotherhood or another emotional stair to reach to the ‘chair of power’.

 Our nation has lot to give to the world, when we talk about its culture and traditions. But unfortunately at times it’s not respected by our own people, who blindly run behind the western culture at the name of modernization. It’s worth observing that in recent years television has revived the beauty of our vivid traditions in their contemporary shapes. It’s a great source to arouse the love for our culture among the generation next who otherwise had ignorance for

festivals.

Now before I end it’s a reminder to not to use synthetic colours as they are harmful for our health. Use herbal colours instead. A festival should be enjoyed in its true spirits and not by gambling and boozing for the sake of unhealthy entertainment.

 Its time to get ready for the most boisterous festivals which brings
with it fun that never ends…
“A VERY HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, and SAFE HOLI”.
