"The Real face of Metro Cities" By - Rahul Vimal

“Metropolitan cities” as a word, to hear it feels luxurious from the human perspective in society. If you look at it from deep inside. You will definitely hate it. There are so many reasons that not only clarify you but also make you visible at any angle. People's lives are not as easy as they look in metro cities. It’s so complex. If you look into it from a villager's perspective, you can’t even think about how a person can spend her/his day in a room without talking to anybody. People are so focused; even though they know that talking is necessary for every human being in this world, they are still doing the same thing over and again. They don’t have time to talk; they don’t have time to share their emotions. In this, people become money-oriented instead of living-oriented. Sometimes, they don’t even care about the feelings of anybody. They don’t even know the real culture. Whenever I look into society with my eyes, I really don’t understand why this is going on.

Sometimes I don’t understand—why? We proudly call that “we live in metro cities," even though they don’t have any standards or respect in society. Still, they believe. Other states can’t compare with it. But they will never tell you why they go out of the station whenever they need a break. Because they know the metals made things that give satisfaction, but not pleasure. Metro cities can provide you with anything that is new, but in an artificial form.

Here is the best example of it.
"Kothi," which we call "bungalow," has a 50 sq meter hall, 5-10 rooms, and everything that should be in there to describe it. But the reality is quite different, which seems better from far away. In it people don’t talk to each other, and they don’t even share their problems with each other. They are becoming gadget-conscious people instead of health-conscious.

Whenever I go to my uncle's house or a relative's house—those who live in metro cities, I see them, and I think about what has happened with their lifestyle. Some years ago, they used to wake up at 5 am, but now the phenomenon has totally changed. The dressing sense and everything have changed, which is not what it used to look like but is completely different. The sense is derived by IMPERIALISM (meaning accepting the other culture without understanding its value and by losing our cultural value).

As I said, you will find everything in metro cities, but in artificial form, not in natural form. Exactly… the taste is artificial, but you have no choice because there is no such option to choose a substitute. if we talk about food or dry foods. They will be bringing in the Silver Bowl, sometimes a gold-water-coated plate, and the bowl.

But the taste of it is not there….. because it’s tasteless.
Why? Why?
Because they are followers of SHOW OFF nature’s persons and MIND SHARE…without considering the reality of it.

Not even the base of it.

Movie influences the society

Gone were the days, when people used to conduct meeting to share their personal views and opinion about the society and the situation of particulars. Group chatting or meeting is the best way to communicate with others and it also helps to transmit the idea from one to another. Now, because of the media penetration into our social structure all process of sharing the views and communicating meaning has been vanishing. Yes, movie influences most of the viewers by their program content.  Many philosophers have said, cinema is a reflection of society and movie is showing the same content to their viewers. Movies or television based program show most of the part of our society in terms of incidents, situation, and moments. For instance, there are some program which broadcasts on Indian tv channels i.e. Savannah India, Crime Petrol, Balika Vadhu, Budh etc. All these programs have influence content in different genres. I have seen many cases in my area which is enough to describe the...

पूंजीवादी सोच का असर Capitalism Impact on Society

पूंजीवादी सोच काफी खतरनाक, हानिकारक एवं बेफिक्र किस्म की होती है जिसमे पैसा इंसान की जरुरत न होकर उसकी मज़बूरी में तब्दील हो जाता है. और मजबूरी सिर्फ पूंजीवादी सोच ही पैदा करती है | आजकल टीवी पर आये दिन नए नए प्रोग्राम टेलीकास्ट किये जा रहे है जिसमे ज्यदातर संख्या में भागीदारी बच्चो की ही दिखाई पड़ती है| इनमे से कुछ बच्चे इस प्रोग्रामो के माध्यम से बहुत अच्छे और जाने-माने स्टार बन जाते है, तो कुछ इस स्टार किड्स की लाइन से कोसो दूर दिखाई देते है| मैं हमेशा सोचा करता था कि आजकल का समय समाज में बहुत तेजी से बदलाव पैदा कर रहा है | खास तौर पर भारत में तो हद से ज्यादा और इसी सोच के चलते मैं यह टैलेंट शो बहुत चाव से देखा करता था | और खुश भी हुआ करता था की चलो हम तो अपने बचपन के समय में इतनी नहीं मगर कुछ विशेषताओ के साथ भी बहुचर्चित नहीं हो सके मगर यह तो हो रहे है |  मेरे पापा अक्सर कहा करते थे कि "इस टैलेंट हंट शो की वजह से इन बच्चो का भविष्य ज्यादा अच्छा नहीं रहेगा, क्योंकि बचपन भी इस शो की वजह से गायब हो रहा है, छिन रहा  है| जिनके पास पैसा आ गया वह तो बहुत खुश और जिनके पास अस...

Are we educated or just filling the government records?

Education is a tool of cultivating mind of individuals in the society. It mobilizes the people in system with its expertise. It gives the reasoning power to make some changes.  (UNESCO) “Education is a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized adults and children can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as citizens”.  People send their child to the school for nurture their skills and help to develop their mind with perspective of society. The need of education is debatable topic through-out the university and college with context of how to promote good and effective education to the  adult  and adolescent. Dr. Ambedkar had also emphasized on fully implementation of free education system  he directed that,  Intellectualism  among the youth is the tool of mobilize the movement, without education no one community will able to run their movement with strong impact. Jay Prakash( B.tech Student) has said...
