Gujarati Media : Backward Compatibility !

Its again the same topic of Gujarati Media... How poor is the quality of content we produce..well I have an example... I know why this kind of man maid stories are getting published frequently.. Have you ever seen stories of this level in New York Times, World Street Journal, Time, News or any good publications ? I never have seen.

This shows our mentality, mentality of our culture, our beliefs, our living standard, our backward-ness, lacking of fresh thoughts, and above all we proved to be dis-honest. It should be matter of faith, trust, and all good cultural values when we talk about religion. BUT.. allas.. we do tricks and show our dis-honesty in that also ! This is a limit ! Any religion is to teach and control ourself to believe in right values. This example is itself a play to prove something.. I dont know why do we really need it.. I hate the entire chanel - who draw/tricked photoshop the picture, who sent it to the Akila, who selected the story, who approved the story... Simple, they forgot their mind at home for the day. I dont have more words for them.

Look at the effect of this. Lakhs of readers will read this. They already believe in such superstitious stories. They will have deep impact of this. Rather than media showing right path, they drove a mass to blind faith. Many great personalities like from Ram Mohan Rai, Dayanand Saraswati to Swami Sachidanand put their entire life to show right faith, belief, religion to relieve our society from blind faith and many misbelieves. Alas.. One small picture will wash out many minds...

Hope Saibaba give good thoughts to all these people !!

Asteroid will pass through earth next week ! Dont miss it !


Last month I had mention about an astroid hitting earth in January, now here are some update on the topic. Are you interested reading in it ? Read further !

LOS ANGELES - An asteroid at least 500 feet long will make a rare close pass by Earth next week, but there is no chance of an impact, scientists reported Thursday.

The object, known as 2007 TU24, is expected to whiz by Earth on Tuesday with its closest approach at 334,000 miles, or about 1.4 times the distance of Earth to the moon.
The nighttime encounter should be bright enough for medium-sized telescopes to get a glimpse, said Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which tracks potentially dangerous space rocks.
However, next week's asteroid pass "has no chance of hitting, or affecting, Earth," Yeomans said.
An actual collision of a similar-sized object with Earth occurs on average every 37,000 years.
Spotted last October by the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona, 2007 TU24 is estimated to be between 500 feet and 2,000 feet long. The next time an asteroid this size will fly this close to Earth will be in 2027.
Scientists plan to point the Goldstone radar telescope in California and the Arecibo radar telescope in Puerto Rico at the asteroid and observe its path before and after its closest approach to Earth. Researchers will use instruments to measure its rotation and composition.
The 2007 TU24 rendezvous comes a day before another asteroid is projected to pass close to Mars.
Scientists have effectively ruled out a collision between the Red Planet and the asteroid 2007 WD5, estimating it will pass at a distance of more than 16,000 miles from the Martian surface. Initial observations of the Mars-bound asteroid put the odds of an impact at 1 in 25, but scientists later dropped the odds to 1 in 10,000.
