should there be censorship on media

Media is plural of "medium" which is a carrier of something .Common thing carreid by media include information ,art,or physical object .A medium may provide transmission or storage of information or both.
The industries which produce news and entertainment content for the mass media are often called "the media "(in much the same way the newspaper industry is called press).In the late 20th century it became commonplace for this usage to be construed as singular rather than plural.
There job is to mainly give right information to the people .But that is what which they are doing nowdays.This is so because that today is world of glamour and glitter and most of us want to be on frame and the best possible way is to take help of media and people believe media.
Today media do, what will be beneficial for them rather than telling the truth.This might be due to pressure or money.They are not doing what they are suppose to do. We can say that so because if a politician is caught in some offence or any other high profile man then his case will not be shown but if a normal man is caught it will be shown again and again.But there should be limit that can be shown i.e.they should not invade the privacy of individual which they do.So there should be a tradeoff between whta to show and what to not show such as if a hindu mob
killed a muslim or vice versa then it should not be shown as it will invogue the communal riots.So there should be a governing body which should put this tradeoff .If media is allowed to do whatever they do i agree that they will reveal some scandal but problem arises that they willshow only one and hide most of them.
We can have a more example in which there was a women who was an IPS officer and was harrased by her in laws and she show some evidence which the nedia showed and you will be convinced that she was innocent and and her inlaws were in guilty but on the next day the media person showed strong evidences and statement that the woman was guilty and her in laws were innocent .This was so because her in laws were hi profile politicians and they give money or forced them to said in favour of them which they did and i was confused that who was right and who was wrong .But the problem is that people are misguided because if you dont have enough evidence how you blame anyone and showed it on news. It effects that person who is right and portraited as wrong .Thats the time when censor comes into play and need to put a law that if you dont have a strong evidence dont call anyone culprit or innocent.
So finally i would like to say it would be possible that a time may come that censor may become itself culprit and will not allow them to do right work but if that happen then nobody can save country except spiderman and superman etc.

we r world champions

There was much joy ,hype,finger-pointing and attention seeking ,niether of which was unexpected.as India's cricketer returned to mumbai.As kipling had hoped we treat those two impostors ,truimph and disaster ,the same ;with melodrama!And so much people waited in the rain in stiffing humidity in crowds with not an inch to move and they could no thave been too diffrent from the people who abused and heckled the cricketers six month ago .May be our much abused movies with no subtle shades of character with only black or white ,know India better than the others!
The awards were welcome for tis genuinely outstanding achievement but i m a little uncomfortable with singling out individual within a team for great honour.Good team seek to m inimize,indeed to destroy.the cult of the individual.It has been a problem with our cricketer and it is a touch dangerous to fan those fires.And you have to have sympathy for out hockey who work hard.
Sympathy is the word that often been often used with Misbah ul haq ,a fine player who twice brought pakistan to the brink of victory .He even picked a good short but found joginder sharma didn't have the pace on teh ball to take it beyond the edge of the circle .Misbah will know more than anyone in world sport at the moment that the ability to finish the game seperates the great player from the good.A lot of team can bring a ball to within three yard of the goal butit reuires a great striker to put it at the back of net.Strikers are valued because they finish moves,great golf player are those that plays the 18th as well as the previous 17th,even teh boxer who dominates a bout needs a finishing punch.Misbah didn't have that punch.
It was good to see though that in the end good bowler took wicket and good batsman scored runs .In course of time ,this game will evolve its own grammar but whtever it turns out to be .it will be breft of skills .As long as bowler has a chance of getting batsman out to be ,it and the game isn't tinkered with too much to prevent that from happening ,you will have to skillful to play it at the highest level .Remember batsman are taking chances and that always represent hope for the bowler and one of the happiest conclusion of this tournament is that taking wickets count .If pakistan had been six down instead of nine ,they would had a better chance of wining it.
However i dread the day they start bringing the boundary ropes in and making flatter pitches .A six must still represent an achievement and if the batsmen hit it at will ,it makes the game boring .The only match at the twenty 20 that left me cold was Sri lanka vs Kenya .I switched off because there was no contest.A little bit in the pitch for the bowlers and a boundary rope far enough to allow a batsman to be caught and you really have everything you need.

Is there any difference in love and friendship

I believe you can love a friend and and i believe you can friendly love .Love is the strongest and most wonderful thing on this earth.It has many faces and many facets ,the more one ,loves the more one has to give to love ,you never run out of it .I love love but i think friendship can survive without love but love cannot survive without friendship.
Love involve passion and friendship involves comfortable ness from the very begining.
Friendship has to be necesarily two sided .Whereas love may be or may not be.You can love animals ,love music,love infants.You are not in friendship with them.Both require concern and care from other end .But in love concern from thr other end is not a must.In a narrower sense these days ,love also means lust sensual pleasure which is not in friendship.But love has got a much broader meaning .God loves you, but he is i n friendship with you.In true love there is no expectation.In friendship you expect your friend to reciprocate youur feeling ,be loyal the relayionship.If not the relationship breaks.
Friendship convert into love but love didn't convert into love .Love is a kind of electrifying chemistry attracting two individual of oppsite sex desiring ,longing ,caring for each otherwhich starts on the premise of the friendship.Friendship is an enduring relationship one can have with any individual that grows along with time who stand by what come what may .While a lover can always walk out of one's life since proximity breeds contempt ,closeness can stifle the space between two individuals. Love blossoms from friendship..The harmone "surges"& its consequences that occour in a love relationship remain inhibited in friendship. Apart form that there is alot of difference between love and friendship ...remeber this:friends will leave u some day or the other but ur loved ones including your family will never leave u...Friends increases when u have money and other valuable things but love doesnt depend on such thing .From other point we can also say that nothing is different between love and friendship because friendship is the first step involved in love without which love can't happen.
Last but not least friendship is not love and love is not friendship because friendship is a bond between two people ,with whom you can share each and every feeling but love is a relation ship betwwen two hearts.

Dravid quits as captain

As extremely dignified man and a proud servant of the Indian Cricket team,took two correct
decision on India's tour of England .One that the older player had no place in Twenty20 cricket an dtwo that he did not want to be Indian cricket team captain any more.The second of those even if right was disturbing because it meant a deeply committed man was willing to walk away from something he has cherished.
One of the great privileges of bien g a top sportsman an dthat true of a few other profession is that you can enjoy every day work .It is what allowyou to remain competetive an dbecome better.When the fun goes out of it it is the time to move on and it was becoming apppernt in England that there was fun going out of bieng captaiin of India for Rahul Dravid .And also,while a catain has gone, it is important to know if the reason for his going have
gone as well
Ideally a captian should be free to think about the game and his palyer.If matters outside the palying field begin to occupy his mind more than tose on it then there is a problem in the systemthat is causing it to happen.If a captain has to keep thinking about contracts ,coaches ,schedules and such other matters that really should be someone else;s responsibility ,i t is taking away time from his primary activity.
Naseer Husain quits as a captain in 2003 because he was being forced to think more about Robert Mugabe than about the oposition.If Dravid has left the job for the same reason .then we all will have this is a new face with the same worries.
So far the man appointed to follow him is doing an excellent job .There is much to like about Dhoni as a person an d as a cricketer .He seems to have balanced head on his strong shoulder and seems quite capable of sizing up situation .It help to have young legsand unfettered minds in in the team and under him,India have suprised many at the world Twenty 20 Championship.They have played with passion with calm minds and have won a crucial match with a catch a runout and runs saved in the field.You wouldn't have thought that was possible tree week ago when fielders strolled in the deep and lobbed return in.
This is a young man's game for age and ocasionaly ,Experience ,tend to install boundaries in a world of possibilities .Rohit sharma doesn't yet know what he cannot do and so play by sheer instinct .For Robin Utappa ,life is still an adventuer where you stumble only to dust yourself and move on .Dinesh Karthick's fidgety reflexes allow him to reach cricket ball that many wont even as they make him drop sitters that other won't.And R.P.Singh is on this wondreful tour of discovery,becoming and making us aware of his great skills.

In1954 ,Martin Luther King accepted the pastrole of the dexter Avenue Baptist church
in Montogornery ,Albana .Always a string worker for civil right for member of his race ,king was
by this time a member of the executive committe of the national association for the Advancement of coloured people,the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days. On December 21, 1956, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank
In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles.

Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.

History of India

History of India . An overview : The people of India have had a continuous civilization since 2500 B.C., when the inhabitants of the Indus River valley developed an urban culture based on commerce and sustained by agricultural trade. This civilization declined around 1500 B.C., probably due to ecological changes.
During the second millennium B.C., pastoral, Aryan-speaking tribes migrated from the northwest into the subcontinent. As they settled in the middle Ganges River valley, they adapted to antecedent cultures.
The political map of ancient and medieval India was made up of myriad kingdoms with fluctuating boundaries. In the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., northern India was unified under the Gupta Dynasty. During this period, known as India's Golden Age, Hindu culture and political administration reached new heights.
Islam spread across the Indian subcontinent over a period of 500 years. In the 10th and 11th centuries, Turks and Afghans invaded India and established sultanates in Delhi. In the early 16th century, descendants of Genghis Khan swept across the Khyber Pass and established the Mughal (Mogul) Dynasty, which lasted for 200 years. From the 11th to the 15th centuries, southern India was dominated by Hindu Chola and Vijayanagar Dynasties. During this time, the two systems--the prevailing Hindu and Muslim--mingled, leaving lasting cultural influences on each other.
The first British outpost in South Asia was established in 1619 at Surat on the northwestern coast. Later in the century, the East India Company opened permanent trading stations at Madras, Bombay, and Calcutta, each under the protection of native rulers
The British expanded their influence from these footholds until, by the 1850s, they controlled most of present-day India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In 1857, a rebellion in north India led by mutinous Indian soldiers caused the British Parliament to transfer all political power from the East India Company to the Crown. Great Britain began administering most of India directly while controlling the rest through treaties with local rulers.
In the late 1800s, the first steps were taken toward self-government in British India with the appointment of Indian councilors to advise the British viceroy and the establishment of provincial councils with Indian members; the British subsequently widened participation in legislative councils. Beginning in 1920, Indian leader Mohandas K. Gandhi transformed the Indian National Congress political party into a mass movement to campaign against British colonial rule. The party used both parliamentary and nonviolent resistance and non-cooperation to achieve independence.
On August 15, 1947, India became a dominion within the Commonwealth, with Jawaharlal Nehru as Prime Minister. Enmity between Hindus and Muslims led the British to partition British India, creating East and West Pakistan, where there were Muslim majorities. India became a republic within the Commonwealth after promulgating its constitution on January 26, 1950

DNA fingerprinting

Deoxyribonucliec acid is the main content of the chromosome of all organism and is found in the form of double helix within the nucleus of every somatic cell.Consequently a smaal sample of human body cells can be decoded to reveal a pattern that is shared only by a genetically identical twin.The dna of each individual does not change during his lifetime.This technique is commonly used in police investigation and is termed as DNA fingerprinting .At present the police can remove sample of DNA from individual suspected of involvement in a specified crime commonly by the removal of cell from the mouth using a cheek swab..The DNAof the suspect can then be compared to any genetic material found at the scene of crime.The creation of a database of DNA would allow police to use DNA in order to search for a suspectrather than merelyto provide evidence once a suspect has been apprehended
The British police have operated a database of the DNA of convicted criminals since 1995.The proposition in this debate may choose at their discretion the section of the population whose DNA would be kept on the database. Considering that the most striking arguments on both sides of the debate involve civil liberties, it is suggested that a bold proposition be developed. The model might include the sampling of DNA from every member of the population. New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has proposed that a DNA sample be taken from every newborn. However, it would be possible to require that the database contains only the DNA fingerprint of persons arrested or even only the profiles of convicted criminals.

PROS-:DNA fingerprinting has considerable advantages over conventional means of forensic crime detection. Conventional fingerprints attach only to hard surfaces, can be smeared, or avoided by the use of gloves. Even a clear print requires a significant degree of interpretation by investigating officers. The standard technique of comparing fourteen points between the print taken at the crime scene and the print of the accused has been subject to severe criticism. The novel ‘polymerase chain reaction’ (PCR) amplification technique facilitates an accurate DNA profile from very small amounts of genetic data.The fingerprint can be constructed notwithstanding contamination from oil, water or acid in the crime scene environment.The innocent and the accused should appreciate a novel fingerprinting technique that is both objective and accurate.
CONS-:Although DNA detection might have advantages over fingerprint dusting, the test is nevertheless fallible. Environmental factors at the crime scene such as heat, sunlight, or bacteria can corrupt any genetic data. Any DNA evidence must be stored in sterile and temperature controlled conditions. Criminals have been suspected of contaminating samples by swapping saliva.There is room for human error or fraud in comparing samples taken from suspects with those removed from a crime scene. The accuracy of any genetic profile is dependent upon the number of genes examined. Where less than four or five genes can be investigated, the PCR technique serves only to exaggerate any defects or omissions in the sample. In 1995 an 18 month investigation was launched into allegations that the FBI Crime Lab was ‘drylabbing’ or faking results of DNA comparisons.Even a complete DNA profile cannot indicate the length of time a suspect was present at a crime scene or the date in question. The mere creation of a database cannot be the panacea for crime detection.

History of bollywood

At this turn of this century when the country was poised for a major social and political reforms a new entertaintment from drawned in India the cinema .The first exposure to motion picture which india recieved was in 1896 when the Lumiere Brothers' cinematography unvieled six soundless short film at watson hotel Bombay on july 7.And the first exposing of celluloid in camera by an Indian and its consequent screening took place in 1899 when Harishcahndra Bhatvadekar shot two films and exhibited them under Edison's projecting kinetscope
Hiralal sen and F.B.Thanawala were two other Indian pioneer engaged in the production of two short film in calcutta and bombayin 1900.Around 1902 J.F.Madan and abdullah Esoofally launched their career with bioscope shows of the two imported films .In 1912 N.G.Chitre and R.G..Torney made a silent feature film pundalik whic was released on may 18 and it was half Britsh in its make .
Dhundiraj Govind Phalke, more generally known as Dada Saheb Phalke was responsible for the production of India's first fully indigenous silent feature film Raja Harishchandra which heralded the birth of the Indian film industry. The film had titles in Hindi and English and was released on May 3, 1913 at the Coronation Cinema, Bombay. In 1917, Bengal saw the birth of its first feature film-Satyabadi Raja Harishchandra made by Madan's Elphinstone Bioscope Company. In Madras, the first feature film of South India Keechaka Vadham was made by Nataraja Mudaliar in 1919.
After stepping into 1920 the Indian cinema gradually assumed the shape of a regular industry.The industry also came within the purview of the law.The new decade saw the arrival of many new companies and filmmaker.
The most remakable thing about the birth of the sound film in India is that it came with a bang and quickly displaced the silent movies.The first indian talkie Alam ara produced by the imperial film company and directed by Ardershir Irani was released on march14 1931at the majestic Cinema in bombay.The talkie had brought revolutionary changes in the whole set up of teh industry.The year 1931 marked the begining of the talking ear in bengal and south India.Th efirst talkie film in bengali ,tamil,telegu were relesed in the same year.
The thirties is recognised as the decade of social protests in the history of Indian Cinema. Three big banners-Prabhat, Bombay Talkies and New Theatres gave the lead in making serious but gripping sand entertaining films for all classes of the wide audience. A number of films making a strong plea against social injustice were also made in this period like V.Santharam's Duniya Na Mane, Aadmi and Padosi, Franz Osten's Achut Kanya, Damle & Fatehlal's Sant Thukaram, Mehboob's Watan, Ek hi Raasta and Aurat. For the first time Ardeshir Irani attempted a colour picture in 1937 with Kisan Kanya.

Bill Gates

Born on October 28, 1955, Gates and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, is a Seattle attorney. Their late mother, Mary Gates, was a schoolteacher, University of Washington regent, and chairwoman of United Way International.
Gates attended public elementary school and the private Lakeside School. There, he discovered his interest in software and began programming computers at age 13.
In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, now Microsoft's chief executive officer. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer - the MITS Altair.
In his junior year, Gates left Harvard to devote his energies to Microsoft, a company he had begun in 1975 with his childhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
In 1999, Gates wrote Business @ the Speed of Thought, a book that shows how computer technology can solve business problems in fundamentally new ways. The book was published in 25 languages and is available in more than 60 countries. Business @ the Speed of Thought has received wide critical acclaim, and was listed on the best-seller lists of the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and Amazon.com. Gates' previous book, The Road Ahead, published in 1995, held the No. 1 spot on the New York Times' bestseller list for seven weeks.
Gates has donated the proceeds of both books to non-profit organizations that support the use of technology in education and skills development
In addition to his love of computers and software, Gates is interested in biotechnology. He sits on the board of ICOS, a company that specializes in protein-based and small-molecule therapeutics, and he is an investor in a number of other biotechnology companies.
Philanthropy is also important to Gates. He and his wife, Melinda, have endowed a foundation with more than $21 billion to support philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with the hope that as we move into the 21st century, advances in these critical areas will be available for all people.
Gates was married on Jan. 1, 1994, to Melinda French Gates. The couple has two children: a daughter, Jennifer Katharine Gates, born in 1996; and a son, Rory John Gates, born in 1999.

how to give interview

The best way to prepare yourself for a job interview is to assnticipate questions, develop your answers, and practice. Here's how...First, know these important facts:
There is no way to predict every question you will be asked during a job interview. In other words, expect unexpected questions--they'll come up no matter how much preparation you do.
Treat any sample answers you find, such as in discussion forums, books or on Internet job sites, as guides only. Interviewers can spot "canned" answers a mile away, and if they suspect you are regurgitating answers that are not your own, you can kiss that job goodbye.
Job interview questions are not things to fear, they are opportunities to excel. They allow you to show why you are the best person for the job, so instead of dreading them, look forward to them! The key is to give better answers than anyone else.Now, take these actions:
Make a list of your best "selling points" for the position. What qualifications, skills, experience, knowledge, background, personality traits do you possess that would apply to this particular job?
In addition to any sample job interview questions you find through various resources, you must develop your own list of probable questions based specifically on the job for which you are applying.
Write down your answers to likely questions. Study the job announcement carefully. Note the phrases they use when describing the desired qualifications. You'll want to target these as much as possible when developing your answers.
Review and edit your answers until you feel they are "just right." Read them over and over until you are comfortable that you know them fairly well. Don't try to memorize them; don't worry about remembering every word.
Be a (Short) Story TellerMake use of this old marketing tip: "Facts tell but stories sell." During a job interview, you are selling yourself. Whenever possible, answer questions with a short story that gives specific examples of your experiences
Keep the Interviewer's Perspective in Mind; Answer His "What's in it for Me?" QuestionWhile many questions asked during job interviews appear to focus on your past accomplishments, here's an important tip: they may be asking about what you did, but what they really want to know is what you can do now, for them
