Whats lacking today- Positivity

positivity from what well first of all from our thoughts , from our lives and yes from the media
i have been spurred on to write this by the media's continous attack on govt. regarding the common wealth games... instead of focussing on how big an event is this they keepon hopping on the fact that there as been misrepresentation on every sphere
you open on tv channel and then the other and all one can hear is that there has been cheating
well i once read on Mr Amitabh Bachchan's blog on how when Ireland had an earthquake but the front page of the news paper featured a firefighter saving a boy
thats the spirit the media of india should show
we are continuously harping upon how we are behind so many nations our economy is not upto the par well for heavens sake we should stop comparing ourselves to USA because USA got its freedom nearly 200 years ago and we only got it nearly 60 years ago so why are we complaining
we have made progress and that also in just 60 years
reader digest is the largest selling magazine all over the world because it focuses on the positive aspects , we have columns like everyday heroes survivors
so why can't we for once focus on the good things
for media in india ita like the sun is never shining
when it doesn't rain they talk about droughts and when it rains they talk about the drainage systems and the floods
oh comeon give us a break
every time i read newspaper i believe that everyone is scum on earth
i remember watching bunty and bubli and how bunty chooses to go the wrong way because he was getting fame
thats what we do instead of highlighting the good effects we highlight the wrong ones
why shouldn't a person's name be in news paper because he has done a good deed
the newspaper is the essence of life in a city distilled to black and white and instead of showing all the grey shades is it asking too much to show a few whites ones too
i have been on metro countless of times and have seen people standing up giving up their seats to elderly , to pregnant women to physically handicapped without being asked to. this is the thing which should be appreciated.
why a person who has raped a child get out attention while a police officer who has saved the life of a child be denied that right .
i know its media job is to become the conscience of the govt. but does it have to be a pain in the ass.
focus on something pure good
every person in a city wakes up to newspaper and reads all the evil things happening and goes to work with negative thoughts in the mind
but does that mean there are no good people here there are
i have seen a young boy helping an old man cross the road, i have seen a rickshaw driver help an accident victim
these are our everyday heroes why can't we appreciate them for a change
i am not asking to change the whole concept but just add a little positivity
a small column everyday showing how a person has done good towards the society
that will just make a day fill it and begin it with a little goodness

writing

I have always had this inclination to write , I don't know why but I prefer the written word to the spoken one. This means a lot to me a written word
thereby since I am left to my own resources or am free unwillingly(read unemployed)
I took to writing a short story
Well I had the basic structure in mind everything cut out and dried I had taken up or stolen characters from somewhere but the story was my own
I started writing and then I experienced a phenomenon which I believe I have read about
Its like this my characters started taking shape of the story I was not able to direct the story according to my own wishes instead my characters started guiding the story
I had the climax all drawn and done when I had to change it because my characters wanted it differently
No I am not going nutters . In Agatha Christie books she always has this one character a Mrs Oliver who is a successful mystery writer and in one of the books she has to give sermon on how she gets her plots ad she says that its not like a story pops into my mind and I write it down its just that I see a interesting person and I delve that person into my character and then they start taking shape and they make the story
Well this exact phenomenon happened to me now my characters are giving the story a new direction and I alas am left with no means of defense instead I have to capitulate and go along their whims and fancies . And for the world of me I don't know where is my story going next..........care to help me any one?
