"Surajkund" International Fair

We all have seen fair's in our life. Some fair was located at your reaching power and some of them are not. Every fair has its own specialty and features. The same feature can be found in "Surajkund Mela", it’s a National fair which comes once in a year. It was first started at 1987. Every year in the month of February from 1-15 by the government of Haryana has been conducting in Surajkund Village. Surajkund Literal mean is "Lake of the Sun". The fact of surajkund is it is an ancient reservoir of the 10th century which had built with the shape of Rising Sun with the semi-circle design. 

Goa- It was the theme of 28th Surajkund Mela Celebration 2014. In this year the Sri Lanka has been chosen as partner nation. Every year they change their theme. If we normally say and see we would found that, it has main attraction theme is "Handicraft Product" and culture diversities around the nation and it is the also the reason to celebrate the Surajkund Mela. Here you can easily analyses the quality and the hard work of the people.Surajkund Mela is famous for its own creativeness. People around the world come here to see its beauty and uniqueness. People come across the seven seas to see the culture of the tribunals and marginal people. 

Some people comes here only to see the performance by folk performer i.e. Rajasthan- ghoomar from Udaipur, Kalbeliya from Jaisalmer, Bhopa, Chang etc. But the Ghoomar and kalbeliya are the most popular and re cognitional dance at International level. There is much more than a dance performance in Surajkund Mela. Basically Surajkund mela is not about the selling the product made by hands but also the showing the culture and ethos of the Indian traditional culture which do exist in some other parts of the nation (India). You can easily find the different people from different regions. 

There are approx. 400 stalls and around 4 stages for performance in it. Surajkund is become a point of attraction from the period of the globalization when Indian policy has been changed to promote the trade free in the nation. The numbers of Visitors has been increasing every year because of its uniqueness and incredible culture. Every year around 50 best designer has been selected to design the whole complex of Surajkund. They used steel, wood, bamboo, iron, Artificial grasses, texture, cow manure, and more design the whole complex. The specific areas of Surajkund Mela are craft and weaver.

Some people say’s that, those people whose source of Income are to make and earn basis wait eagerly for the upcoming event in their own life because they have no other option to show their talent and creativity. Fair are held for entertainment purpose that what we think… but the reality is little bit different, fair is the source of income and identity too for those who has both but haven’t a place to show… that’s what I think about the show-maker in the fair. Lastly i just want to say that person who has been showing his/her talent in national fair is not here only for earn money....
Actually they are here for to prove SELF Identity.

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.
