a friend in need, is friend in deed

A friend in need, is friend indeed.
We’ve been told this quotation from our foundation classes. Though i used to copy the same in many essays at that time, but when I came in real consciousness, I always used to ponder that won’t you call the person friend who doesn’t helps you in stretched position?
If really, then i’ll conjecture it selfishness. in fact I remember that one of my best friends used to be very weak in studies, and he has never helped me in any point of my life at that time, yet we were very good friends, and even still the friendship continues.
On the other hand, a lot of guys have helped me until now in different stages of life, but they are not more then classmates, colleagues or proverbials. Thus, I stalwartly resist the quotation which is consist of self-centeredness.
indeed, friendship is a feeling that comes from the depth of the heart, it’s a gracious gift given by all mighty, it’s an element that keeps you blissful, and all that.
Is it a good idea to connect this righteous legacy from meager self-seeking beliefs?
Is it a good idea to exchange deals in it like businesses?
No, and a resounding no.
The friendship is a highly consecrated and emotional relation which is beyond to all the other relations exists on the earth.
Some also says that ass may also be minister in the time of requirement. If so, what would be the difference between ass and your friend?
I’m not refuting that friends should not help each others, but what I combat is that the criteria of choosing must be your true subterranean personage feeling which comes from the very corner of your heart rather then narcissism.
The friendship should be gallant where you can budge without having expectation, and I personally do not support to make friends only because they will help me in harsh circumstances.
No, the friend is a most excellent endowment we’ve been given by god, and it’s indubitably a disregard treating it narcissistic.
I can’t do it, and if you still can do it without considering on the things I’ve enlightened above, you’re salutable, and perhaps it will take long for you to understand what is life even.
I am neither trying to transport any ethical lesson, nor forcing my opinion.
It’s totally on your personal thoughts and opinion that what you belief, but I resist the quotation, and as I’ve spoke that much, you obviously know why.

what's in the name?

Shakespeare said, that there is nothing in the name, but why he use to sign with his name in the end of his compositions, is a big and controvertial question which I don’t want to raise on this junction.
Neither I am asking why Indian poets puts some drolls with their names like “jabardast”, “albela”, etc.

I m not talking about an IPL owner using team name to promote his brand (Royal Challengers), or an other “rajasthan royals”, or someone like “delhi dare devils”.
I have a slightly more fundamental question. Why is
it that none of the teams have an Indian sounding name. Leave out Mumbai (Indians), but the other seven? Even in ICL, except Lahore Badshahs, its the same
story.

BCCI or IPL team owners’ argument could be - we are trying to appeal to a global audience. But can’t that be done via some Indian names as well.
Banglore Hoysalas? Sher-e-Punjab? Rajasthan ranbankure? Delhi Pandavas or Mugals or Aryans? Leave it, I don’t want to think of all the controversial possibilities here, but why not?

Its not just the cricket team names you know. Think of recently created big brand names around you. Tell me how many of those are ‘local’ words or names.
Why is no local airline willing to use local words (pushpak, garuda, pawan, vaayu etc, keep thinking)? Why did UTI bank go Axis? Why is it called a ‘Nano’,
and not ‘sawaari‘, or ‘aam‘, or ‘rathh‘ (branding gurus can think better, pardon my weak attempts).

Unfortunately, they are trying to steer clear from traditional India from the sake of globalization.
They says that they have done it in English only because of it’s global impact and universal existence, but if it is so, then they could rather name it “international premiere league”
I don’t have any problem from English, but what I want is to keep alive the Indian tradition not only in the hearts of Indians, but in whole world,
What I want is to spread the Indian mores and conventions all around.
I’m not claiming that my views are companionable to be written in any philosophy book, but there’s nothing in being true country man, and to how far I am is neither a matter of consideration nore any of you should do so.
I know, that no big brand owner is reading this post, but if you are trying or even willing to start something, kindly have a deep contemplation before naming anything.

how real reallity shows are?

Television is the biggest hub of entertainment for every one.
Viewers have a great variouty of programs like News, views, dramas, information, sports, travel, music, and so on, so on, so on.
With the hundreds of channels available, viewers can choose the programs of their inclination.
With the tremendous amount of variouties, a new trend started from several years call “reality shows”
STAR TV, Zee TV, Sony are some of the established and popular entertainment channels. They have everything for their viewers, ranging from sagas to comedy to horror.
A new range that has come up is that of reality shows. The channels make it a point to show the clippings of the contestants fight throughout the day. Many tabloids refer to these acts as scripted and mere publicity stunts. But, what’s wrong in using these stunts if viewers are enjoying it?
Coming to reality shows, everyone is in the spell of these nowadays. You ask for it and they are ready with everything in the form of reality shows based on singers or dancers or comedy. There are shows showcasing the talent of children, to shows based on celebrities. It’s not just great performances but one also gets to enjoy the difference of opinion between the judges and contestants.
The pioneer of these shows was Indian Idol. Though there were some other reality shows before Indian Idol, but the spell of reality shows on the the Indian audience began after Indian Idol. It was a new concept in our country, because the final decision was in the hands of the viewers ie the winner was decided on the basis of voting by the viewers. The viewers had the power to make or break the future of the contestants.
Now, a obvious question crops up, do viewers are intelegent enough that they can make or break anyone’s future?
Are they smarter then those high profile judges like anu malik, sonu nigam, sukhvindar singh, etc?
If yes, then don’t they should have on the place of those stupid judges?
Music which was a way of adoration at a time, has now became less important then a kids toy.
The concept where kismet gets decide by voting is nothing more then just subornment. Since everything depends on votings, it’s very easy to win the title of winner. All you need to have a is lot of pennies in the pocket.
Now, mind raises, is it fair to buy a title?
Is it fair to debase the talent in such a vulgar way?
Is it talent hunt in real?
Certainly not, it’s just a case of “money is honey.” isn’t it?
There might be many questions similar to these, but answer might not anything.
The entire idea of Indian Idol was copied from American Idol and the concept was successful in marking a new beginning in the Indian television scenario. After the popularity and success of Indian masses, other channels did not lag behind in launching these reality shows for their channels. Today, these reality shows are ruling the market.
Reality shows seem to be the new age entertainment recipe. They might be selling controversies or cashing upon peoples emotion; but at the end of the day, they are the most popular shows with the highest TRPs.
In fact, it doesn’t matter in whatever way they are crushing the actual talent, but they want money, and no matter it comes by good way or fake.
