MAKING THE REALITY SHOWS MORE MEANINGFUL

Can we have something more meaningful than the totally commercialized “indian idol” 1,2,3…dancers, singers, laughter’s and to name a few more in the similar league…big boss, khatrone kae khiladi or in short the currently repeated versions of the REALITY SHOWS.

The reality shows have not been able to explore into other positive options which besides being commercially viable may give direction to the public and the new generation. Two of such socially meaningful and challenging possibilities which are still unexplored are as under:

I. Wouldn’t it be more productive to prune for the achievers highlighting their achievements in face of fighting the corrupt. The media could cover the achiever who have achieved by fighting out the system rather than comprising or achieving by fixing (taking shortcuts). Today the corporate hire the facilitators or fixers who help achieve the targets by towing the line of the corrupt politician/police/bureaucratic nexus. But we should look for those individual/corporate achievers who anticipate the holdups from this vested nexus and strategize/fight successfully overcoming them….i.e. to highlight the FIGHTERS rather than the FIXERS, thereby bringing forth the idols which the new generation could learn from and follow, thus weakening the corrupt system. In-fact, today’s responsible corporate should actively sponsor such “Jagoe rae” MOVES.

II. Similarly we can highlight the grass root level selfless workers who are serving the masses/individuals: the genuine efforts. Not talking about the organized NGO’s, though nothing to beat the work done by the volunteers at Missionaries of Charity- Kalighat, Kolkota.

Have seen Khatrone kae Khiladi jump into dirt bubbling pits. But would they have guts to clean and bandage an oozing ulcer of an infirm recluse or help shift an ugly leper to a care centre supported by some NGO, so as to set a live example to the public and young/new generation.

The Greater Cause

Whenever taking a decision "THE GREATER CAUSE" should be kept in mind.
The benefit should flow to the masses and not just one or two - 'no tunnel vision'.
One can think of discounting or sacrificing a few when it comes to achievement of the greater good.

We are the via-media or the channels who try to implement the good/bad depending on the Karmas/Greater Cause. If we experience something bad, we should learn the lesson and move forward forgetting the pain or the negative experience. If something good is done to you- thank the god. If you do something good, still thank the recipient for allowing/honoring you to do the good........

Abundance

Every individual has varying needs. Some have more some have less. Though the nature has provided everything in abundance, but the earthlings tend to fight for what limited they have spotted. The rule of jungle seem to be working. The bigger ones pushing of the smaller ones for bigger share. The smaller ones appear to be sidelined or at the loosing end. But since the nature has provided everything in abundance….it is only the matter of timing and location, that smaller ones need to tao to get their rightful. The smaller ones need to be a little proactive - go for the opportunity by timing in such a manner that it does not clash with the bigger leagues. Either pick up early or go late. In case timing clash cannot be avoided then go for a different location/route.

When we shifted to new location, we started feeding birds in the morning. We found that the bigger birds used to push the smaller ones, which either kept trying or waited for the moment to pick and fly out & then tried again. To avoid this imbalance of the jungle, we put more feed on different location close-bye, which was more convenient & safer for the smaller birds. The new location of feeding is slowly picking up & the smaller birds are using the opportunity. It was also noticed that the smaller birds got the feed from the original location if they came early. The bigger birds seemed to be bit lazier & came a little late at convenience.

No doubt nature has provided everything in abundance for all, it’s the matter of only timing & location which need to be aligned…….

Invocation of energies

The various mantras in HINDU SYSTEM could be taken as specified breathing patterns which invoke or stimulate respective body energies in a balance with the surrounding environment. The air (breathing) seem to be the critical link between the body and the environment. A repeated breathing pattern or 'mantra uccharan' probably can be equated to breath related YOGA - "PRANA YOG", which stimulates or activates particular body energies. So regular & proper uchharan of mantras may relate to different purposes for which they are meant or can be used....
