Well , people who know me, will wonder why I’m putting the above question.  I’m yet to start my work in life but I’ve chosen a topic which is remotely out of scope for discussion at this age..

Ok ..Do you think that I’m trying to explain about what I’m planning to do after 60 years of my birth.. Well sorry …

The 60 years here I’m goin to talk is wrt to the period since we got Independence ..I’m definitely not goin to talk about how Independence was achieved and how important was it to get Independence..

I dint know much about our position untill I came across the special edition of The Hindu discussing the achievements of these 60 years of India and the future expectations from people in each field on the eve of 60th anniversary of Independence day..[Dont ask me what I'm goin to do in IT field.. We'll have a separate post on it later..]..

I was actually amazed to see interesting information from my area of interest,Sports in that special magazine.. It was hard to digest for me  on that day to find that Indians qualified for FIFA World Cup quarter finals and they were not allowed to play the match cause Indians played with barefoot at that period.. [I'm not sure of why they were not able to play.. but they dint lose and came out of the tournament.. Forgive me for the reason that I couldnot remember the year of that event]..I’m sure you are expecting Hockey next.. But I dont have much to put about the national sport.. All I can say from what I read at that point is that Indian Hockey had its own blooming period.. The decline of the hockey and the blooming period of Cricket occurred almost synchronously that the latter knocked out the other.. I think enough on this matter..

So back to our topic.. what’s are we goin to do now for the country having discussed football, cricket and hockey ..? Are we goin  to go to the football and hockey stadiums with banners cheering Baichung Bhutia, the football team captian or the Hockey team in your city directly or atleast switch to the DDSports when such matches are broadcasted ?Or are we goin to  surf internet from our mobiles to get updates on live scores of these matches ?

I neednt say the answer for this..Its definitely NO from a majority of guys who are reading this.So what’s the plan? We may not be interested in encouraging cricket or tennis but definitely we must not discourage the effort chronicled by great people in other sports field.. This applies exactly to the other fields Indians have made marks in History like literature where we’ve a Noble laureate [and only one nobel laureate]..

So whenever we search for the guy who encourages or discourages a field , be it sports , literature or any other such things, we tend to quote “MEDIA” as the conspirator for the raise of Cricket and/or film industry and decline of the rest..  Well its absolutely correct.. But on what basis the conspiracy plan contrived ?

Its based on what we talk and what we seem as our enjoyment.. As I’ve mentioned in my post “THE PATH TO WORLD CHAMPION”, the powerful guy makes his gang to think him alike and the gang most of the times without choice accepts his/her  doctrines ..

Ok back to our business.. I dont have a huge list in front of you about what’s to be done after this 60 year layoff period..

Its a simple sentence which you think over whenever you come across the good food you eat , the good water you drink and the good dress you wear.. and so on..

1.”Encourage good media and only good media”

2. And most importantly “Dont blindly go beyond someone, literally and figuratively”

I dont say there’s bad media out there.. But they are forced to focus on useless film media matters and other things which can only waste your time in this fast paced life, purely because you buy their paper or switch to those channels just for fake enjoyment everyday..I dont think anyone would enjoy inside when a fake scandal about a filmstar hits a paper or the TV screens..So the gimmicks of these guys can only mislead the concept of real enjoyment for a human being ..

Beyond papers , coming to blogs and sites, we generally read mostly pages who write either fake or genuine but funny experiences…Its high time we also visit tech blogs [incase one doesnot visit techblogs].. Nothin is needed for a blogger than a hike in the hits and comments .

Finally , we conclude by having a look at the mantra of the future.

“Encourage good media and good media only” 

P.S. Guys I was trying to find the name of the Indian Hockey Team’s present captain along with Baichung Bhutia.. In vain I was not able to.. “Joaquim Carvalho”, the Indian Hockey coach was the only name I was able to find from Google search .If I were to Google for the Indian Cricket Team’s present captain then you’d be commenting openly “Are you from Jupiter ?” ..SO this is the real time scenario when we face a loss of knowledge due to biased focus on society..

I dont know if I’m successful in convincing you to think about the changes one need to make for oneself, but I’d like to thanks a lottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt for encouraging good mediaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :) …….
