Shame on Indian Media.

"Commonwealth Games, India's Shame". This was the headline came out in one of the leading newspapers in India, Times of India, a couple of days back. Can India organize the games well? Everyone start to ask this question since the day, it have been confirmed that CWG 2010 will be held in Delhi, India. It is understandable that some of the countries lobbying against India rose this question. But I was really shocked to hear it from our own media, doing the same as well.

There was some negative impacts in recent times, I fully agree. But if we check the history, there was similar cases everywhere,whenever an International sporting event was held. But finally when India stepped in, a lot of people start to feel insecure, both local and international.

Our local media is mostly interested in their circulation, rather than bringing out the good things they come across. There have been a lot of such cases within the country in the past, but when it comes to reporting about an International event, media should have taken some responsibility to keep the Tri-colors of Our Nation fly high. 'Unity in Diversity', this is what we say about ourselves when there is a National Day or Independence day. Unity ends there and only diversity remains. If we ourselves don't respect the pride of our Nation, whom do you think will? Pictures speaks a thousand words. See it for yourself. Delhi is ready to host one of the biggest sporting event.

A lot of athletes from all over the world, came to the support of India, against our own media and still our media only interested in negative things. There was incidents during 2004 Athens Olympics that the Indian Athlete Ms. Anju Boby George had to wash and clean her own room together with the designated cleaners. CWG Delhi doesn't face such conditions at all. Listen to the words of former Olympic Champion Kelly Homes of England, "When comparing to the facilities of Athens Olympics, CWG Delhi is years ahead." And there are many others also joined these days with the support towards India, but our media still not listening.

Shame on you Media!

Addiction - It's The right Time to Change!

Addiction is the first enemy within all of us. All of us are addicted to something in life. Be it in drinking, smoking, drugs, girls, computers, games, the list is endless. Some people might fell in to such addictions following their idol, and some due to their surroundings. Being a young man myself, I do know the good and bad outcomes of addiction. I have seen people going for councelling and all to get rid of such addictions. Some people may get help from all these things and some may not.

The best way to get rid of whatever addiction you have is through self-analysis. All it can be started with 2 questions that we need to ask ourselves. 1. Where am I supposed to be? 2. Where am I now?

Being a Typical young man myself, I too had addicted to many things in life. Now am slowly getting out it as I realize that this is not the place where am supposed to be. Some people may think that it's too late for a change. But I tell you that it's never too late.

I started my lonely life in Singapore when I was 18, and from that moment itself nothing went right for me. Being away from my family at such young age affected my life style so much, as there was none to take care of me. Initially I was really happy to meet Keralites here, but gradually it turned to be something I was really scared off. lol

Like any other guy who is away from home, me too started to spoil myself. I wanted to try out everything in life, coz I didn want to regret for not trying out when I turn back to my past, years after. At that time I didnt regret for whatever wrong things I did. But I never thought that trying out such things can lead to such an addiction which is very hard to give up.

Then I never realized that there will be one day that I need to turn back and regret for such kind of thinking. It was really shocking and I feel like the whole world is laughing at me. I wanted to give up everything and start a fresh life. But It was not that easy as I think.

But anyhow I managed to come out of the darkest side and feel relieved.

We all have the ability to think and at any point of time if we use it in the right way, it's never too late for a change.

Going for councelling can't change a person unless he really want to. And if he really want to change, he don't need to seek the help of a councellor.
