Zoom Lens

FEW THOUGHTS I BELIEVE IN

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"

"Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working- LIKE ME"

"Live with no excuse, love with no regret"

"Anyone can hate, it costs to love!"

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the oportunity in every difficulty"

"I think dat the only reason people hold onto memories so tight is bcoz memories r the only things that dont change; when everybody else does"

"Try and fail, but don't fail to try"

"When GOD solves your problems, u have faith in his abilities but when he doesn’t solve your problems, He has faith in your abilities"

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others"

"The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one"

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

"One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat them at politeness."

"Well-timed silence has more eloquence than speech"

"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend"

WHY MEDIA?


     Well this is a question that many people have asked me so far including my parents... so let me share the answer with you today!

WHY MEDIA?

When the time came for selecting a particular stream on which my entire career would depend, I just thought of One thing, that was "FREEDOM".
Freedom - "Not from the work, but freedom for using my creativity, and just by being myself".
 
The motive was never fame or money, but to learn and to grow.
I always used to think (focus on "used to") that Media is probably the only zoom lens, through which one can see and project the outer world at its surface level.

Though I would still say that it is truely the only lens of this kind, but its projection has undergone great change over the years and is no longer transparent.

Media has the power to change the world for the betterment, only if the power is utilised correctly. Though out of the whole lot, 80% are corrupt, but still 20% can take over and will take over soon.

Today, being a part of the industry, I feel proud of myself and have full faith on the young journalists like me that together we are gonna change the prevalant scenerio of the fourth pillar of the Republic of India.

Also I want to inform the people who are not a part of this Industry, that there is a forum called "CITIZEN JOURNALISM", easily available online, wherein every citizen with full right can add in his/her "report story" about any Important issue and can add to the better world.

My motivation comes fron here:




"There are only two forces that can carry light to all the corners of the globe... the sun in the heavens and the Associated Press down here."
Send quote to a friend
Mark Twain (1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.

Its only a democratic country like India, where the Media can act with such a great force. So try and utilise your power to serve the nation. The whole world out there look upto us, so its our duty to maintain their trust in us by always providing them a lens to clear their vision of the world they live in so that they can follow a right path.

All I can say is,

"Wake up guys, its our time to act!!!"
