Think Yourself......Media or YOUR THINKING......

Think Yourself......

If you are from New Delhi and know how news are made, than you can understand how news can make and break image of anyone. I cannot name anyone here as it can make situation worse, but try to make own mind here, as it is the worst face of news people. They talk and talk on topics which do not matter to common man. We need food, shelter, electricity and jobs not caps and slogans. TRP and adverting is name of the game nothing else matters to news people. Just see you pay 22% tax to buy pizza and here 2.5% tax is for higher education. You pay 10% tax if you buy soup worth Inr 10.This tax goes where?

Negative reporting is part of game to get viewers. Advertising is not easy game electronic media is complex game to play. It is funny when journalist says that AK got 28% time on TV, but this was negative. Just understand as viewers we need something new and controversial so we have AK is new. Just find that today New Delhi is run by LG and still we have no water, power and security but no news is here because AK is not in power, it is hard to understand. I really thank God I write on other topics than politics but here I need to put my say. Just find that Mr Raj from M is local leader and all of sudden national news TV shows a lot. You can understand that after AK, Mr Raj is the TRP AND THIS STATEMENT IS ENDORED BY HIM and TOI also as we have print advertisement for his interview.

I have seen 12 elections till date in New Delhi, being part of politics and writing for long on New Delhi. I find when journalist from big news TV talks about Delhi, where he spend time as professional not citizen and make comments on topics which does not relevant to common man. It is funny and an irony. I left journalism 20 years back just because i cannot put common men’s voice, so i don’t want to make noise like AG of TOI just to get advertisers.

New Delhi--Khan Market, adjoining Lodi Garden

New Delhi--Khan Market, adjoining Lodi Garden.

 

It is really a contrast of 500 years old history folded together. Lodi Garden is 1200 years old, where we have tomb and garden with tress of all genres, even bamboo tree in this part of geography which does not allow bamboo to grow. it contains, Mohammed Shah's Tomb, Sikander Lodi's Tomb. The tomb of Mohammed Shah, the last of the Sayyid dynasty rulers, the earliest of the tombs in the garden, was built in 1444 by Ala-ud-din Alam Shah as a tribute to Mohammed Shah. As there is little architecture from these two periods remaining in India, Lodi Gardens is an important place of preservation. The tomb of Mohammed Shah is visible from the road, and is the earliest structure in the gardens. The architecture is characterized by the octagonal chamber, with stone chhajjas on the roof and guldastas on the corners.

Whereas, within two kilometres reach we have one of the oldest market place in New Delhi being developed in   .It has single storey building structure and place where we can find fine restaurants and even car repair shops. All along designers shops and even some of the best street food even at 8 AM  in the morning. Established in 1951, the U-shaped, double-storey market complex originally had 154 shops and 74 flats on the first floor for shopkeepers,

So it worth to visit, some time i suggested my friend who stayed in hotel along market named 'The Ambassador Hotel' next door, built in 1945 in mix of British and Art Deco style. The building is now a heritage property.
