A million riding high with this luxury

A billion eyes fall upon him as each time he enters the cricket arena.  He shows his class and exhibits his supreme talents and outplays each opponent every time on the field. He is a master in all the department of this game. At 37 he runs faster than the youngest cricketer and fields better than the finest fielders in the world. Yes, it’s the little master (I call him the Big Boss) because he is truly the boss of cricket. He has given this nation of riding high on his achievements.  The Indian team is still depending on this genius even after him carrying the entire nation on his shoulders for more than 20 years now.  His age might call him old, but he is still new and fresh to this game. A fearless batsman who can belt any kind of blowing attack and make them look like a piece of joke. 

He is the highest run getter for India as of now in this world cup edition. He has been India’s most successful cricketer ever and it will take another 10 decades to break his records by any cricketer.   

I am a trainer now

With the students of Annamalai University in Chidambaram. Next to me are the other trainers and the faculty members.

This is another turn around in my life. Standing in front of a crowd is a big achievement for me. Yes, on the 20^th of July when I received a call confirming my job with TCS, I was overwhelmed with joy not only because I had got a job after a long gap, but also because of the giant leap I had taken in my career. Becoming a trainer was a dream coming true as I had only been admiring that job. I always admired the speaking talents of people who used to speak on a stage with such fluency and command over their topic. This opportunity came by sheer God’s grace who works in ways that we cannot comprehend. I also got the opportunity to lecture to the final year top rank engineering students of Annamalai University in Chidambaram last week. I also had a session for a set of their lectures too. I was a big stage for me as it was the first time I was training on soft skills for such a large audience. But by God’s grace I was able to perform well and got positive reviews from all the students and the factually members. I hope to continue in this profession for as long as I believe that I can strongly contribute to this field of training.

Materializing the dreams of a billion

India finally fulfilled the dreams of a billion by taking the world cup after a gap of 28 years. It was a great achievement by these men. By taking this victory, India’s greatest batsmen Sachin has now added all the feathers onto his cap . This was one thing that was missing in this little man’s great career, but now he is part of this historical event too. This huge victory will be remembered for generations to come. Hope the boys keep this winning streak going and stay on the top position for some time. They should not let this victory sit on them and start playing lousy cricket. They should keep this momentum going and start dominating this game like how the Aussies did for these past several years. Hanging on to that magical No.1 position should be their next goal. But for now I conclude by saying three cheers for their great victory over our neighbors on that great world cup final match.

Is our traditions forgotten or lost?

India is known for its traditions and its cultures. Many different kinds of people live in this great land following their own traditions, well molding themselves in one accord with their fellow neighboring states respecting and also participating in their cultures as well. We have our own set of identities which keep us unique from the rest of the world. As we all know that we are being highly influenced by the western world, our own traditions are slowly fading away. So what effective measures can we take to save this culture of ours?

The IPL cricket sensation which is happening in our country could be used as a platform to not only show the world our cricketing talents but also as a stage to show case our own talents and exhibit our cultural traditions. Instead, we have hired models from foreign lands and showing them as a tool of generating business and as a mere crowd puller. Will not there be a crowd to watch the folk dancers perform in that same stage or a Bharatanatyam dancer perform.?

Music, the language of the heart and soul

The expression of the heart, the symbol of love, which is the ultimate ambassador for all the emotions a person feels is called music. Each tune has its own sweet meaning. It elevates a person to a different level, a special atmosphere, a desirable state of mind, speaking the language of the heart, healing its wounds and nursing the bruises caused by the very breath of a person.

Words cannot express music and its works, but it can only praise that art which is also not possible under most circumstances. It’s a source of life to the dead soul. It can also revive a person from his grave. It possesses a person with its own kind of spirit. Man’s imagination is weak; it needs support and prompting. So to revive their memories of the past, present and also to give an imagination of what his next move would be, music is necessary.

Music serves to prompt and revive memories of beauty, happiness, joy, pleasure, gladness, love and even sorrow in the minds of those people who are acquainted with it by experience and love to recall it. The relation to an equivalent aspect and phenomena of reality is the same as the relation of an engraving to the picture from which it was copied. This relationship is brought forth by the power of music. It recollects the past and takes you to reality itself and positions you in the period of that incidence.

A beautiful object in reality is not always accessible to everyone, but music makes it possible. It transforms you into that object to feel its value. The fragrance of a flower is sweet, but that same fragrance felt in an unconscious state brings in an innovative meaning to it, which is possible only through this life reviving art. Even the color or the sea may change, the sun may look different and earth may stand still, but music will safe guard you through these times of death though death is unavoidable but will for sure lead you through fine green pastures and show you the end of life in a lighter and a better way. It is a useful thing has all the right for respect and so is “Music a beginning of life”; that is precisely why the more perfectly transformable art is an imitation resembling the original. 

This is a universal language as it lets you understand what the song is about and feel its emotions even if you don’t understand the lyrics.

Media and Global Warming

Is global warming a sign of destruction? Well scientists and other scholars predict that this could well be the end of mankind from the face of this earth. Some say that this would destroy a major part of the earth, which could erase a part of human’s extinction. We would soon be an untraceable element in this planet. They say that global warming is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and its oceans, a change that is believed to be permanently changing the Earth’s climate forever. This is why we experience sever climatic conditions like never before. It has never been so hot in the month of March itself. We are heading towards terrible days ahead of us. Given the current scenario, I think that the heat waves have not yet started though we feel the heat creeping up our head.

Scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate carrying out global warming research have recently predicted that average global temperatures could increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100. Changes resulting from global warming may include rising sea levels due to the melting of the polar ice caps, as well as an increase in occurrence and severity of storms and other severe weather events. These series of climatic changes would lead to several issues concerning climate, food, destruction and economic breakdown.

Media’s role in global warming:

Media is the only tool through which people can learn more about this serious problem and could take necessary steps to control these changes and prolong man’s life on this planet. Much of what people learn about global warming comes from news sources like television, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, films and radio. In today’s age, most people get their view of the world from mainstream media. It is, therefore, important that mainstream media be objective and present accurate and diverse representations of what goes on around the world.

Accurate media representation of world issues is crucial. Media has to show the fact as what it is. Whenever media reports are censored or biased, the people’s basic rights are systematically undermined. In these situations, violations and unaccountability often go unnoticed and suppressed viewpoints become commonplace. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
