How and why is Television the right medium of communication opportunity?

The technology is advancing day by day with a rapid growth. The technologies like 3g on cell phones platforms or the set boxes in form of DTH (Direct to home) or IPTV (Internet Protocol television) are reaching remote terrains which is now accessible, in form of television over such regions which plays a vital role in educating, informing and entertaining a wide population of audiences, who were hidden from the outer world for centuries through regional native languages channels. 

Television

 
I think Television is a right and an effective medium of communication in today’s time because it has a larger impact on the masses as there are more Television sets than multi theatre screens across the developing countries such as India and across South East Asia.

Today television is being considered as the mouth piece of the people in democracy and it is playing a major part to build democracy around the world giving end to dictatorship of the Army rule or the kingship. The oppressed are rising in form of you tube by making their voice heard, loud and clear. This is what we saw on CNN for a decade ranging from various issues and in recent times the television and youtube was effectively used to inform the world the `happenings in Iran’.

The television is not anymore an exclusive, government enterprise, many media houses and private channels are being launched ranging from various categories. It’s no more about game shows, melodramas or news it’s beyond what we thought a few generations ago, the television is packaged with content from kid’s shows to fashion to 24x7 shopping network.

The viewers are spoilt for choice as the television is bursting out with new channels around the world to the homes. Some cultures believe that the television is invading their culture and influencing western beliefs and ideologies.

Today on a single press of a button with our finger tips on a remote. We can access many important live events without us being physically present on location in 3 dimensional screens in high definition format without any interruption because of efforts by prominent people like media czar Rupert Murdoch and Media mogul Ted Tuner (CNN) shaped today’s scenario that we couldn’t imagine could be possible ever.

This popularity of television have brought in brands to advertise and make the glued audience know their presence via sit-com (`serials’ in India) through commercial breaks to reach the particular target audience through television creating an illusion in the minds of the prospective consumer to sell a product. But again, the long lost Radio is gaining popularity once again. In recent times, in India in form of Fm, but still television is a medium which is not fading in time but improving instead, television has now the capability to play radio on television sets through digital decoders.

The explosion of such vast information through electronic medium i.e. Television should be controlled and censored before reaching the general mass audiences by independent community moderators of individuals on local basis than a national censorship authorities, so that whenever required the general public can give their residuals and grievances in an open forum without any bureaucratic red tape where there is a boom of regional channels in India just like the news channels few years back to explore and enter the new markets.

Television in India have come long way. The television which was a luxury item of the rich and elite has become household basic necessities of the people from urban to rural population. May be the Doordarshan’s programming transition from black and white to colour in the 1982 Asian games improved the Indian broadcasting scenario. Today it is again taking a new leap and lease of life by broadcasting High definition format; telecast Common Wealth 2010 games live from on our new lcd, led and plasma television flat screen set by `Prasharbarti’.

Television can not be destroyed by cinema nor can cinema be destroyed by television. They both will co-exist together for many years to come. We will still cherish the television golden moments, in the history and break new paths in years to come.

I won't be ever silenced by you

I am worried to speak or write coz every thing I speak is termed nonsense and irritable and we call this democracy such a big lie. Living according to certain social norms of morality is too fake. Its better to live under fear of dictatorship and uncertainty. At least the hopes and dreams and the aspirations are only silenced not killed.

Life at MTV India

When MTV came to India I was too young to understand a bit
Why people at MTV where so Crazy!
Jokes, the Crazy One liners,
The New Vj’s and humors were too crazy!
Not to forget the Miss Vj’s making all the boys go Crazy!

Apna Cyrus banyne sab ko Bakra!
Life was crazy, it was lazy N’ easy
Making parents go Crazy
Making babes Dad’s wallets go completely
Empty
As bills of swiping cards go crazy! 
Miniskirts Aur thight top and Jeans,
Bhae sabko,lage A1 first class quality
And then, it happened, when things totally
Went wrong.
When it took a U-turn

It was the Roadies
It was the Roadies
Raghu says “Tere M@$a,Tere B@h&ein%,Tere ^%&* (beep)”
“Kabhi Apni Shakal Ayene mein dekhe hai ? Heroine banega”

It was dark N crazy
Humor was long gone
Reality shows had taken em all!
So there’s rises a freaking question in my mind?
Where is the “Gana” jo tha kise ne koi jamane mein tha gaya?
Splitsvilla mein usko Ladki mile tho hamara kya?
Roadie’s mein bike chalakar kar free tour mila aur prepaid “Shaurat”
mila  tho hamara kya?
Fashion designing show “Make the cut” hai kuch Roadie’s je sa
Miss Teen Diva’s ko scooties mile,
Usme hamara kya?

Mtv Faltu!
Oh! Mtv Faltu! Phir Nahi
Ruk Ruk Khan ya Haghu
But what the hack usme Maza tho aya Na!
MTV Rocks! It still rocks on!
May be the Vj’s are haunted with sum ghostly souls
Par Fantastic 5 mein kya hai?
Yeh kise ko na pata!
Wassup!bole mera India
Yeh yangisthan ka pata India mein kisiko pata bhi hai kya?

“On the job” dekhu mein
Baap chilaye life mein karoge kya?
Hey! MTV Uth dekh
Cyrus Broacha aur Shaukar A.K.A 100 cars in Hindi mein
Bani,Jose,Anhuska,Nikhil aur sare MTV walloh ko mera
Ayushman!
Kiu ki yeh hai “Mera Javan Dil Mera MTV! It’s my MTV…

I feel sad that many things have changed in time restaurants like Ruchi has lost the menu of Medhu Vada, Shiv Shakti is now Cafe Day, outlet.

The classic gaming Arcade is now a pool table arena. The Popcorn and ice cream shop is now Fast food restaurant called the "Java".

Lots have changed.

You can feedback me on:

Update:
In the more tab option I think we should have the Orkut Inbox [Message] and the Lists.

It will be also good if Google's orkut uses php codings with html to design web pages like facebook as web pages loads faster than Java.

Photo Albums and scarp counter bugs and error problem should be fixed.

Do you agree or disagree Google should concentrate more on making Orkut better than making Buzz?
