Insofar as TV channels and and News Papers are concerned, 'some are born great, some are made great and greatness is thrust upon some'. Though it is for NDTV to decide to which one of the categories it belongs, prevailing environs and conditions show NTDV in poor light.
Considered as 'immortal', great tamil poet Thiruvalluvar said 'to be balanced and not bend to any side like the Weighing beam is the beauty of the Great.(Kural:118)
Media do not appear to have come out of their 'slavish' mentality. Those whose 'soul' is so dead will make a departure from neutrality and confined as they are in a confused state of mind, confuse the common man for selfish ends.

THOUGHTS RUNNING AMUCK
The Article Link Refered Fromhttp://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Congress+is+not+old,+Priyankas+retort+to+Modis+remark&artid=LvbTbGuW440=&SectionID=b7ziAYMenjw=&MainSectionID=b7ziAYMenjw=&SEO=BJP;+Gujarat+Chief+Minister;+Narendra+Modi;+Congre&SectionName=pWehHe7IsSU=ByRangarajan
When you sit for an examination with intent to secure a degree, the examiner has no choice but to go through your answer script whether there ie sense or not. In her eagerness to answer Mr Narendra Modi's accusation of the Congress party being an old one, Priyanka has paraded her ignorance and the mature voters will give zero mark for an immature prattle of priyanka.Sonia, Rahul and Priyanka should understand that 'congress party' is not a proprietary concern belonging to the 'trio'. It looks to me that they do not even know the ' a, b, c' of governance of the country. To expect them to lnow the 'x, y, z' of governance of the country looks like asking for the moon.

By Dr.C.S.RANGARAJAN 4/7/2009 3:48:00 AM. dear on line editor,If the report attributed Lalu is fact thewww.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Arrest+order+issued+for+Lalu... Would have run roller over Varun: Lalu Prasad - expressbuzz.com
At a time when the law is taking its course in the matter of Varun Gandhi's alleged speeches against the muslims, there appears to be no reason for the Railway Minister Lallu Prasad Yadhv to speak at a tangent. His exercise looks like the one intended to appease the otherwise well informed muslim brethren. Unlike the likes of Lallu Prasad Yadhv, poverty knows no religion, region or language.Had the politicians been really serious and concerned about ensuring the 'greatest good for the greatest number of people' right from day one of India's Independence we would have not only eradicated poverty, but would not have had the opportunity to win Oscar award for a film like 'Slumdog millionaire'. which was woven around utter poverty. Like the Railways advertisement which runs as 'less luggage, more comfort, make travel a pleasure', politicians herenceforth should 'talk less, work more and make the country prosperous' in every sense of the term.

WHAT IS HECUBA TO HIM OR HE TO HECUBA.......... by Dr.C.S.RANGARAJAN on 26 Mar 2009
I bear no ill-will nor have I anything against Mrs Sonia Gandhi.The undeniable fact that remains is that she is the wife of Late Sri Rajiv Gandhi and daughter in law of Late Srimathi Indira Gandhi.The Country expects that she should continue to play the 'roleless role' she had played when both Rajiv and Indira Gandhi were alive.Shakespeare said 'what is Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba that he should weep for her'? Why should Sonia Gandhi take great interest in the internal affairs of this Country?Is it not a shame that this Great land of ours with a population in excess of over 100 crores is unable to identify one with not soul so dead to call this is my own, my native land.? Is it because we have fallen into 'irreparable amnesia', or suffer from 'intellectual deficiency'?

From C.S.Rangarajan March 30, 2009 6:30 PM Politicians are adept at making a mountain out of a mole hill. No one has a right to sit in judgment over the alleged 'hate' speech of Varun Gandhi against the muslims. Though'Satya meva jayathe' is said to be a guiding principle of this Great Nation, lies,the whole lies,and nothing but lies tinged with venom pour when politicians open their mouths.There has never been an occasion for any leader to encourage constructive criticism. All political parties are seen as accelerating the course of destruction of the finer elements which keep this nation on a high pedestal still. Narrow ends will hasten the end of those whose loyalty to the nation is questionable.

Of all the animals in the Zoo! by Dr.C.S.Rangarajan on 2009-03-26 23:04:24.01415+05:30
What were the major considerations and compelling reasons for Dr. Manmohan Singh to offer a ministerial berth to Rahul Gandhi.? Was it a polite way of showing his gratitude for having got elevated to a position which was beyond even his dreams? What special qualification does Rahul Gandhi possess for his being called upon to assume a position in the Government. Jayanthi Natarajan will be defenceless if it is shown to her that there is no dearth of youth in this country. The saying goes that 'of all the animals in the zoo, the monkey made a mockery of kangaroo'.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH US?
I wonder as to why people are not conscious of their
peculiarities and absurdities, affect to disguise what they
are and set up pretensions to what they are not.
Lord Byron in a similar vein observes, we do not
'feel we are not ,
What we have been ;and to deem
We are not what we should be; and to steel
The heart against itself; and to conceal,
With a proud caution,love or hate or aught-
Passion or feeling,purpose,grief or zeal,
Which is the tyrant spirit of our thought,
Is a stern task of soul! No matter, it is taught.'
A very great Saint of Tamilnadu Ramalingaswamigal
known as VALLALAR said that it is better not to
develop relationship with those whose thoughts (which
are inward) and speeches (which are outward) are incongruent.
Such a situation gives rise to a corresponding
life style. Eventhough, we have the ability to
'know a hawk from a handsaw', we ignore the
peculiarities and absurdities of others with whom
we interact. What for we ignore? It is because we
want to win rewards, or it is because we want not
to allow peace to go into pieces? Ultimately. we
make the right wrong and wrong right.

CAREERS AND THE WORK ORGANISATIONS.
A modern work organisation is unique in the sense that it becomes the focal point for a number of related occupations. The career lines of those working in these occupations do not conform to an uniform pattern. While occupations are inter-related, the careers of persons involved in a common work situation are often differentiated in terms of the varied processes at work in the work situation.< br/> Everett C.Hughes in his work on 'The Study of Occupations' in Merton,R.K et al (Eds) Sociology Today (1960) considers work situations as 'systems of interaction..... in which people of various occupational and lay capacities ...interact in sets of relationships that are social as well as technical'. The characteristics of careers are determined by the way in which the relevant occupations are related in a work situation. Hence, careers in the same Occupation may vary from one work situation to another. In this regard Everett C.Hughes points out the significance of careers in a work situation. For him, 'the career includes not only the process and sequence of learning the techniques of the occupation, but also the progressive perception of the whole system and of possible places in it and the accompanying changes in conceptions of the work and of one's self relation to it.
Basically the term ' career' implies movement over time through successive positions within an institutional system, which provides differential opportunities for the different occupations functioning in relative position within the system. A career normally implies upward movement in the institutional hierarchy available to an occupation in terms of income, status and responsibilities. But it may also imply acquisition of higher technical or professional skills, with the accompanying expectations of appropriate reward for the contribution, that superior skills can make toward the achievement of organisational goals.
Thus, career becomes an intrinsic aspect of the dynamics of a work organisation, and it has ramnifications that extend beyond the boundaries of a specific occupational group. Careers represent a dynamic element in the work process as occupations respond to changes in technology.
Thus, careers mirror the changes in the work processes. A study of careers is fascinating and rewarding.

THE YOUNG EAGLE
The 'YOUNG EAGLE' by Tom Reilly emphasises that action without knowledge is rootless and knowledge without action is fruitless. It is 'confidence' which 'begets confidence'.
The nest of young eagles hung on every word as the Master Eagle described his exploits. This was an important day for the eaglets. They were preparing for their first solo flight from the nest. It was the confidence builder many of them needed to fulfill their destiny.
"How far can I travel?" asked one of the eaglets.
"How far can you see?" responded the Master Eagle.
"How high can I fly?" quizzed the young eagle.
"How far can you stretch your wings?" asked the old eagle.
"How long can I fly?" the eaglet persisted.
"How far is the horizon?" the mentor rebounded.
"How much should I dream?" asked the eaglet.
"How much can you dream?" smiled the older, wiser eagle.
"How much can I achieve?" the young one continued.
"How much can you believe?" the old eagle challenged.
Frustrated by the banter, the young eagle demanded, "Why don't you answer my questions?"
"I did."
"Yes. But you answered them with questions."
"I answered them the best I could."
"But you're the Master Eagle. You're supposed to know everything. If you can't answer these questions, who can?"
"You." the old, wise eagle reassured.
"Me? How?" the young eagle was confused.
"No one can tell you how high to fly or how much to dream. It's different for each eagle. Only you and God know how far you'll go. No one on this earth knows your potential or what's in your heart. You alone will answer that. The only thing that limits you is the edge of your imagination."
The young eagle, puzzled by this, asked, "What should I do?"
"Look to the horizon, spread your wings, and fly."

SAMUEL ULLMAN ON 'YOUTH'.
like the controversy over the issue 'brain drain', 'generation gap' is yet another issue that engulfs the youth and creates an imaginary gulf. Samuel Ullman sets at rest the question as follows:
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
