....mere apne liye

"badan ke dono kinaron se jal raha hoon main
ke chhuu raha hun tujhe, aur pighal raha hoon main

tujhi pe khatm hai jaana mere zavaal ki raat
tu ab tulu bhi ho ja, ke dhal raha hoon main

main khvaab dekh raha hoon ke vo pukarta hai
aur apne jism se bahar nikal raha hoon main"

Fourth Estate

The notion that the Media is the fourth estate rests on the idea that the media's function is to act as a guardian of the public interest and as a watchdog on the activities of government. Depending on one's view of the media, this is either self-serving rationalization, or an important component of the checks and balances that form part of a modern democracy.
Once we talk about FM broadcast in India; we have a preconceived notion that the FM broadcast as the fourth estate of communication has painted itself fully in colors of entertainment and is least bothered about the responsibility it garners as a communication medium. But the truth remains that FM broadcast in India is actually governed through clauses of Information and broadcasting ministry which has not permitted us to bestow our views or the news on responsive issues like politics but still we have notched effectively a nick in giving relative information’s to the citizens which make them a responsible civilian of the country.
Radio FM broadcast is the cheapest and has the widest listenership and hence governments of the state and the union itself use this as a platform to sensitize on health and other concerning issues. We, in the capacity of programming teams of any private FM broadcasters try to sensitize the city with their responsibilities towards the nation building.
· Traffic sensitization
· Heath issues
· Education
· Carrier
· Protecting heritage
· Maintaining Legacy of the City
· Culture
· Language
These are some of the pillars on which a city as well as the country rests and FM broadcasts are coherently working on checks and balances of these pillars so that we come out and stand as a responsible Fourth Estate.

chup hoon is liye khush hoon !!

After locking horns with time bound shakles and after promising struggle against alienation...I slipped into coziness of comfort and compromised with the situation...I termed suffocation as satisfaction and yet living life in a materialistic fashion with no more questions and no more revolutionary ideas..Am I SICK???
