Everyone Will Shine!

Here is a small poem that I wrote on poverty, hunger and how if we all will work together, we can remove this devil. How one day, everyone will have a chance to shine in the glory!

I would bid a million for those smiles
For together we can conquer the world and walk for a hundred miles
If I hold your hand, and if you hold mine
We can make a change for those who can't even dine
One day, everyone will shine

We can walk together, talk together and work together
Make a change in this world forever
For then he would not have to starve on the street
Nor have the heating ground burn his feet
He has no shoes, no slippers, no socks
And no means, for when he is sick to take him to the docs (doctors)

And we just sit there, watching, sipping on our wine
But, One day, everyone will shine

If we start from ourselves, we can make a difference
The challenge needs to be accepted
The arms of poverty need to be rested
For then the homeless, poor and the rich
Are all equal, eating in the same dish
Like diamonds, they are precious
And for their benefit, we all need to be ambitious

For together, hand in hand we will stay in line
Because One day, everyone will shine

Are we as Idiot as the Idiot Box

I was sitting down with my mum today and realised what cinema and television meant to them.

Star Trek a fashion during their age is never forgotten. My mum still remembers Spo

ck's sexy voice and Captain Kirk's handsome built. It was the time when the television show was introduced and gained popularity in India

and still has a place in people's hearts.

This was when I sat down and thought that would the shows that we watch today have equal importance. Is this 'idiot box' as we call it gone too far to leave importance and a mark of anything that is

shown?

I sit down to think that ; would I remember 'Wizards Of Waverly Place' or 'Glee' once I grow as old as mum? I don't think so. In today's age, with so much to trend the value is lost. Coming down to it, television was there when I was born, I grew watching it, and the minor changes were nothing new.

If you think about it, you can find many reasons as to why television was of importance to

our parents. It was something new and interesting, the whole family sat down to watch a single episode of Ramayan and Mahabharata (which was the most famous amongst all that came on T.V in India).In other words, it united the family.

Nowadays, with so many shows - different for kids and adults and teenagers with their o

wn lists, it ends up dividing the family. My grandparents liking

to watch the episodes of Balika Vadhu ; my mom wanting to watch the old episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S ; dad engrossing himself in travel and living as well as music shows, and me, being a teenager watching Glee results in no or very little time for family.

I started from the importance of television in old days, and continued with its relevance for today's generation. I wish I could club the two and get the same old togetherness in the family back.
