FACEBOOK TIMELINE COVERS- MY QUOTES

Being liberal, being free, and being biased in media, the difference.

It has been a month of conflicts over Freedom of Speech and Freedom of expression which has created a buzz around the world. May it be a mockery of Freedom of expression or Hate Speech the recent events have depicted a picture of the world using freedom as a tool to make their own way and when it is seen in the context of media it distinctly exposes the bias nature of today’s media, both Electronic and Print media.Recent news that shocked mostly the Muslim world was an Anti-Islam movie made by Anti-Islam American director Sam Bacile aka Nakoula, which mocked and insulted highly respected Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). As its repercussion, the Muslims of Libya attacked the US Ambassador there but according to some sources, it is the terrorist attack and nothing to do with anti-Islam movie protest. Some media sources have written it as the cause of Arab spring and some termed it as Islamic extremism But the Anti-Islam movie is neither termed as wrong or insulting by western media as well as Indian media too rather than writing it as a right to freedom of speech and termed Muslims as intolerant and can’t take criticism.

Though some honest journalists exposed the truth like, Robert Fisk, Famous Senior journalist, writes in ‘The Independent’, -

“The provocateurs, of course, know that politics and religion don’t mix in the Middle East.

It only needs a couple of loonies to kick off a miniature war in the Muslim world within seconds.

There’s the rub, of course. Some things are off limits, and rightly so. Others have no limits at all.”

These few lines of his article tells the deep truth which is being deliberately hidden by America as after the trailer of the movie was restricted or banned in Libya and other Islamic countries, America is still reluctant and don’t want to restrict it in their country So when They are supporting the perpetrators of a heinous crime (yes, it’s a crime when anything provokes violence and insult symbol of any religion) then what is the problem when the flags of US are burned and Anti-US protest smoking out around the world.

Another senior journalist of India, Syed Hassan Kazim wrote-

“The way these people are in a habit of making a mockery of Freedom of speech is something which can never be accepted. Every freedom brings with itself a sense of responsibility which must be respected. Freedom doesn’t mean anarchy (to insult or mock anyone at will through lies and fabricated stories).”

So being free does not mean that you have the right to insult and degrade symbol of any religion. It’s not a conflict of Christians and Muslims as some can interpret, it is the deliberate attempt to incite tension among Muslims and show the Islam as a violent religion.  Here comes out a point that why Indian print media is also favoring America on emphasizing the attack on US ambassador rather than the crime committed by the makers of the movie. This type of favored coverage can lead to the ‘Media Bias’ the term coined by the Media experts itself.

Some Media-persons and Journalists are politically conservative and due to which Our Print media writes in favor of Power oriented people as Government in power, Businessmen, an Imperialist nation like America as Our media is also highly influenced and depended on them.

Now news is ‘made’ and sometimes created as a fictional movie. Now bias of news and information related to Bureaucrats, Celebrities, and Corporate who also own media companies are a trend. One has to make a ‘story’ out of anything and present it as news. It is the case of news television media but in Print media we can read articles which can mislead masses, which has false information with baseless facts. Mainly the news related to World gives preference to America and Britain than other countries, Even if western media mock our Prime Minister by calling him Underachiever or ineffective Print media praise West by terming as freedom of speech. Western media show double standard and unfortunately, it is adopted by Indian media too. Media should not be politically driven though it is true that sometimes circumstances make that happen.

The point here is, why print media promotes those biased articles which have distorted and false facts as well as forged news, why powerful people are preferred over the decent one, why these days mockery of religions (mainly Islam) is at a high point and portrayed in wrong light?

The answer to these questions lies in understanding the difference between free and liberal. When we don’t define any limit to freedom and scale a certain boundary we can’t claim right to express and speak, Hate speech or deliberately insulting stuff or targeting a group with malice have no place under freedom of expression. The media today carry lies than Truth and are prejudiced. If we try to be liberal and just show, write and express Truth and never manipulate it, we can then have the right to express and speak.

Book Review- 'Poetry out and loud' by Sujata Parashar

It’s all there in the book which can be proverbial to most readers and they can enjoy it thoroughly the free verses of “Poetry out and loud”. Every element is there in the poems from humor to love, from social issues to Stories, a poetry lover can connect easily with the poems. It also gives strong messages which makes you think about it and can touch your hearts.

The book starts from Freedom, the most important part of humanity. The poem beautifully defined the real meaning of Freedom today. If you go into depth you’ll be totally agree of what message is given from it.

“When looks are exchanged without biases

Hands greet each other minus prejudices

Vanity does not affect the senses

Hearts reach out like true friends

That is Freedom”

The poems which contain stories or tales like “That classical lady called Madame Bovary” is the poet’s take on the highly controversial novel of Gustave Flaubert, considered a master piece.

The stranger and His son, gives an insight of a life of a soldier and the emotions of a father and son are captured wonderfully.

From “What is Love” to “Shut up” every emotion is penned fabulously well, even there is a poem on abuses called as “Pragmatic analysis of abuses”, it’s not the research on abuses done by Kareena Kapoor in Ra.One. Lolz! But a real meaningful take on the subject.

“Expletives like pig, swine, dog and scavenger
sounded just right when the hardcore, scientific process of evaluation
was based on strong and positive sense of imagination”.

I have chosen three best poems according to my opinion as I liked them most-
In a boat without oars! , If you go deep you will totally agree with the message given in it. These lines speaks the conclusion of the poem-

After all, I went to the sea in a boat without oars,

It will be a mighty feat achieved, my only pride!

It encourages the people to do something in life on their own with no support from anybody, there is only one help and this help comes from God when you are dedicated towards your goal.

Second poem is Celebrity, This poem will make
your heart feel the love exactly in the way a mother feels for his
child. I just loved this poem.

“To you I might be another,

Poor child on the street

For my mother I am a celebrity!”

It engraves the thoughts of a poor yet confident child and also ridicules the double standard which exists between rich and poor.

Third and the most gorgeous poem of the book just like its name, Beautiful.

“Lies they might have been called,
Backed by Her own faith,

They metamorphosed into strong beliefs”.

It actually a introvert girl who was called as ‘ugly beautiful girl’ as people thought that she was ugly form her outer looks but nobody saw her gorgeous heart and at last, love came vanishing to prove her beauty in the language of wind and at last she found that she was beautiful, It also proved one of my quote “Your outer looks are the glasses but your inner one is your mirror"

The book also contains a poem called ‘Ugly’ which compares Good and bad.

Even if someone doesn’t understand poetry after reading POETRY OUT and LOUD will start loving poetry. I recommend this great book by Sujata Parashar, my Elder friend and a Bestselling Author of “In pursuit of Infidelity”.

Osama bin laden “The Satan’s son”.

 The world’s most wanted terrorist was in the news recently when every news channel of the world showed the announcement of President Obama that Laden is dead and their secret one night Operation to kill Osama was successful. Some people still wonders that how is it possible, was it really Osama or his duplicate but as the Uncle Sam Osama announced by himself everyone has to believe it.

Well, in my opinion, Osama was never a Muslim so how can he represent a Muslim Terrorist.

His ideologies were simply against Islam if you read the books of Pakistani writers, articles of Journalists and bureaucrats. But some so-called Muslims of Saudi Arabia still support his ideologies and as it is pretty known to everyone that Wahabism originated in Arab and these ideologies of Osama are perfectly similar to them, it’s not wrong to say that he can be a Wahabi but NOT MUSLIM. it is really interesting if somebody asks about the Nationality of Laden, Do you know.

Go to Wikipedia, read books on him, articles, news and views of the Experts you will find that he was also an American because he lived there had his Training there. He got his degree from American security agency if not CIA or FBI lolz.

So people say that he was made by America and destroyed by America as normally happen in our beautifully corrupt politics first a politician make a Criminal and after he finds that criminal was becoming a threat to his own self he removes him.

Well, maybe it was the story but this point holds no value that Osama was Afghanistan, Pakistani or American the point is what he had done in the world, what did he portray and how he was portrayed by America before 9/11 and after 9/11.

Osama was not only a man or a single terrorist he was the Raavan/Yazeed who surrounds all terrorists and captures the kingly attribute of Satan. He preached Evil for the decades and the contaminated whole world and made fundamentalists and to say only Muslims is wrong, he tried to invade the minds of other religions too. He left behind a huge bunch of terrorist and tyrants, not only organizations but the uneducated lot of Muslims who are in some way affected by him or brainwashed by his kind of ideologies. His death marks a revolutionary misanthropic, some so-called Muslims still support him from inside [not showing from outside].

America always portrayed him as a Muslim terrorist to lowers down the image of Muslims and made a mindset that terrorists exist only among Muslims no other religion was never related so close to terrorism. This is the fact that not only provoked others to get against America and spread a strong wind of hatred among all Muslims in which some became so angry that they try to kill the innocents of not only America but other countries. This is one aspect of it and second aspect which is merely related to a sect of Muslims called as Shia Muslims. Osama and all the terrorists or so-called Muslims of his ideologies were against Shias from the centuries ago as history tells their ancestors used to preach hatred against Shias of the whole world, so actually, the suicide attacks started centuries ago by his ancestors or the Abdul Wahab the creator and founder of Wahabism. So the attacks in Saudi Arabia on the Shiite shrines and in Iraq were happening way before Osama was born.Osama by his nature carried forward his ancestor’s legacy and continued terrorizing Shias around the world and at the initial stage, another ally to Satan’s son was much popular for his tyranny Saddam of Iraq.

At that time when shias being killed, their shrines demolished and undergoing such painful oppression America had no problems but as soon as these Satan’s men became a threat to the economy and power of America, They started to show that America was doing good for the welfare of shias who were being killed, by first hanging Saddam and then abducting and killing Osama. But we Shias the most patient Muslims still getting bombed from Iraq to Pakistan every week and currently in Bahrain.

In the name of “War on Terror,” America accomplished their aim by removing the people who became a hindrance to America in their extension of power and imperialism and absolutely not at all for the welfare of innocents of the world, not even their own people.

Aftermath of the Death of Bin Laden:

1.The leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba cried in spite of the fact that they believe this act is against Islam.

2.Musharraf said Osama was dead but terrorism is still alive.

3.Saudi Arabi and Pakistan[His Fans] mourns the death of Osama by declaring him as a martyr.

Well, Satan’s army is still leading; decide by yourself who the commander in chief is and who is the consultant disguising naïve gentlemen and gentlewomen.

The Downtrodden

It’s not about only the slums

It’s where every poor comes

It’s not about poverty it’s about heart

Today’s millionare became so smart

Care is a word of some socialite

Where the middle-classed stance split

Struggling with politics of workforce

The condition becomes more worse

When BiG shots use them as slaves

Still not fencing their huts and caves

Which breaks and sometimes drown

the flood pour or drizzle comes down

sleeping on the footpath in a winter night

only philanthropist understand their plight

some wash the cars some polish the shoes

some aids us but we never look at their bruise

we make, movies on them and promises

not a single fulfilled of all the noises

Don’t give sympathy only,it’lln’t sway

It is empathy that’ll give anguish a ray

Rise above your senses and think

What can happen in just a blink

Valentine Day-Lost meaning of Love

Some say it is nothing just some people made it.some say its westernization or modernization and some make it as a day of love-making as parks and public places spots mostly youngsters.Some purely believe in expressing their love to their loved ones.some are totally against like shiv-Sena activists who keep trying to ban this day.this condition is only in India because of our Cultural values and traditions of our society.

There should be nothing like Valentine Day or Valentine Week because there can't only one fixed date or time only when you have to love somebody or express your feelings.

Actually, this day is dedicated to pure or true love and not for the purpose of proposing someone or getting intimate with your loved ones.It's the day which gives you a chance to make someone feels special as you do on somebody's birthday but that can be for everyone valentine day is not for everyone, the people who are going to marry or married are most suited socially because it is not for children.It should not be related to Romance only because it refers to general 'Love'.

Let's go back to the history that what actually valentine day is and why people celebrate it.

"The Early Medieval act of either Saint Valentine were expounded briefly in Legenda Aurea According to that version, St Valentine was persecuted as a Christian and interrogated by Roman Emperor Claudius II in person. Claudius was impressed by Valentine and had a discussion with him, attempting to get him to convert to Roman paganism in order to save his life. Valentine refused and tried to convert Claudius to Christianity instead. Because of this, he was executed. Before his execution, he is reported to have performed a miracle by healing the blind daughter of his jailer.

Since Legenda Aurea still provided no connections whatsoever with sentimental love, appropriate lore has been embroidered in modern times to portray Valentine as a priest who refused an unattested law attributed to Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this to grow his army, believing that married men did not make for good soldiers. The priest Valentine, however, secretly performed marriage ceremonies for young men. When Claudius found out about this, he had Valentine arrested and thrown in jail.

On the evening before Valentine was to be executed, he would have written the first "valentine" card himself, addressed to a young girl variously identified as his beloved,as the jailer's daughter whom he had befriended and healed,or both. It was a note that read "From your Valentine.

Using the language of the law courts for the rituals of courtly love, a "High Court of Love" was established in Paris on Valentine's Day in 1400. The court dealt with love contracts, betrayals, and violence against women. Judges were selected by women on the basis of a poetry reading.The earliest surviving valentine is a 15th-century rondeau written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife.

To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,

All in the morning betime,

And I a maid at your window,

To be your Valentine.

Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,

And dupp'd the chamber-door;

Let in the maid, that out a maid

Never departed more.

—William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5

The modern cliché Valentine's Day poem can be found in the collection of English nursery rhymes Gammer Gurton's Garland (1784):

The rose is red, the violet's blue

The honey's sweet, and so are you

Thou are my love and I am thine

I drew thee to my Valentine

The lot was cast and then I drew

And Fortune said it shou'd be you

This day more cheerfully than ever shine

This day which might inflame thy self old Valentine.

—John Donne, Epithalamion Vpon Frederick Count Palatine, and the Lady Elizabeth married on St. Valentines day

So St.valentine wanted that marriage should not stop and Love should not be oppressed.But unfortunately, we have not taken the true meaning of it and made traditions by ourselves.It should not be treated as a festival and celebrated but the True meaning of Love should be understood and misconceptions, mistreatments,false traditions should be removed.

Say 'I Love You' to someone only if you really feels from the heart don't make fun of it and ridicule it.

A REQUEST OF LOVE

Miles ahead the life goes on
For myself the deep odds I withdrawn
Frustrated from the mundane
you don't know, am going insane

Your love spined a wound so deep
Why your memories lit in sleep
Now, when everything is all over
But every time when I lay on pullover

The thoughts of only yours come in mind
I don't know how my heart still hopes that I’ll find
My destination of love, that’s you
Indeed, the beautiful were the days of blue

Still not ended that smoldering pain
hold it always or make anguish in vain
'cause the Pure Truth is lowed down 'neath a cage
and you never understood it neither in this stage

When everything seems lie and glitz prevails
Flamboyance is in the air and the true beauty fails
I request, please give my heart back to me
Or I die, please listen to my plea.
