Someone asked me if news is available 24*7 and 365 days
What’s the point to read a “Newspaper Column” and what it says?
I said:
I’m born in a Country that is world’s largest democracy
With diversity in culture, creed, language and community
Democracy stands mainly on four pillars
Judiciary, Media, Government and Legislature
Among the Four Pillars Media has greater potential
The power to create better future for me and a better World
It’s true that with technology we have the access to every news
But the diverse perspective comes from “Newspaper Columns” and
its views
Just the sky appears different to those who view it
From different angle and different place
The same way…News has a different outlook and impact
For different people of multiplicity and race
With diversity in human race we have conflicting interests
And Clashing viewpoint and contradictory judgment
The balance comes when we understand the other side
“Newspaper Columns” serve that purpose, that’s why I read
Not only balance in thought, but they help me in understanding
better
The Government policies, schemes, guidelines and procedures
With different experts analyzing them bit by bit with
information
Makes me keep track of the Government and scrutinize its functions
When negative news sales or media cries an unnecessary foul
To promote a biased agenda or to generate a media trial
It’s the “Newspaper Columns” that comes to the rescue of
populace
With Putting the facts and ideas to counter the prejudiced observations
“Newspaper Columns” helps me to comprehend
The miscellany in culture and people of my homeland
The different festivals or different needs and habits
“Newspaper Columns” give details and explain them every bit
A Unique Spectacle Newspaper Columns gives
To have a distinctive sight of various matter of life
In a Democracy Citizens being the ultimate master is vital
So people needs to be dependable, accountable and responsible
“Newspaper Columns” help me understand
My Nation and My people with better accuracy
To become an unprejudiced, well-versed Citizen
And well deserved Master of Democracy!!!

Although newspapers often present biased or untrue views, it's their columns which actually give us more balanced insights than the news reporting themselves. But it's important to differentiate between the sensible and nonsense columns...
ReplyDeleteNice post Tina.
Very True Vishal. I treat nonsense columns as an opinion as well. That strengthens my strength to "agree to disagree" the very foundation of Democracy. Also it helps me believe in coexistence with all. Thanks a lot for the appreciations. :0
