I was just going through the poets and poetess of India, when I came across Mirabai. She was born in 1504 AD and was the Queen of rajasthan.Mira is known for the many bhajans that she left behind.These bhajans are in praise of Lord Krishna and held in great esteem for their high literary value.
UNBREAKABLE
Unbreakable, O lord,
Is the love,
That binds me to you
Like a Diamond,
It breaks the hammer that strikes it.
My heart goes into You
As the polish that goes into gold
As the lotus that lives in water
I live in You.
Like the bird
That gazes all the night
At the passing moon,
I have lost myself dwelling in you.
O my Beloved- RETURN.
-Mirabai.
About The Poem.
The Poem Unbreakable expresses Mirabai's unconditional love towards her beloved lord Krishna. In spite of the restrictions from her in-laws, family she walked on her own path, facing many negative consequences. She identifies herself in her love and wants him to return to her as soon as possible as she cannot live her life without him. Her life is incomplete without him.

Orphanage
It was again because of a project given in my first year that helped me to know the the functioning of an orphanage and also the tragic story of the children studying there. Here is some information about the orphanage and also the children.
NARAYANCHANDRA TRUST. (Orphanage for street children-boys) Moregaon,Virar road,Nallasopara.(E). was started by Dr Malpane and his wife Dr Chandrakala Malpane. It was Mrs. Malpane’s dream to use their savings in such a way that it can be beneficial to a certain section of the society. So they decided to start an orphanage for street children especially boys.
This organization was recognized by government in the year 1990. It was established in Nallasopara in the year 2000 but the construction was started in the year 2007. It has a capacity of 50 children but currently it has 32 children. These boys are all street boys who either do not have parents or who have parents but they cannot effort to look after them.
This orphanage is currently running well with out any problems as their trust has sufficient finance to support the living of these children. They provide free education for the boys till 18 years of their age. They accept children only between ages of 6-8 years. Because at this age they can mould the minds of children in their own way, which will be fruitful in the coming years of their life.
It also works according to the guidelines set by the penal court. It follows the Bhiwandi court process of balkalyan samiti. It has certificates given by the income tax departments. It does not have adoption facility but they are looking for foster families for these children. Because after 18 years they will have to leave the orphanage and stand on their own feet. The orphanage will provide them with finance they need for their education but will not provide shelter. Hence they are searching for foster parents who can guide these children when they step out of the orphanage.
RAMU.
• Name: Ramu.
• Age: 7 years.
• Parents: Mother and Father dead.
• Found: Ramu was found in a toilet and thus was send to a remand home. But no one recognized him and hence through court procedures he was sent to this orphanage.
• Current status: Ramu studies in a government school, Marathi Medium and wants to join police in future.
SHANKAR.
• Name: Shankar.
• Age: 10 years.
• Parents: There is no clue about his father. His Mother was a prostitute but she is also dead.
• Found: Shankar was found in remand home and was sent to this orphanage.
• Current status: Studies in 5th standard and likes drawing. Can operate computers and has basic knowledge about computers. In future wants to become an artist because he likes painting and drawing a lot.
I only hope that these students study well as they are provided with best of the opportunities this orphanage can provide and make their future bright.

Zoology
It was during my zoology presentation that I realized how irritating it is when people make noise and disturb when you are giving a very important presentation and which is very important because you will be marked for it.
It all started when one day our media studies ma’am gave us a project. It was that we had to select a department in our college and study the various fields in it, different careers and their scope in India. And then make a video covering all the information about zoology and we had to screen it for zoology students also. We were also required to make a brochure and a pamphlet for the same.
As soon as the project was given, I was very excited to work on this project because I wanted to select zoology as it was totally different from our course and thus thought it would be interesting. We registered our group and our department. But are ma’am old us that it is not easy to deal with the head of the department of zoology. This did scare us but at the same time she told us that she will help us out if we have any problems.
Time passed by and the date of this project submission was close. We prepared a list of questions that we were supposed to ask science students, their parents and also the zoology students of Wilson College. Everything went on well. Our video was ready but we had to screen it to the zoology department.
NAAC is supposed to visit our college in the days to come. So all the professors and staff were busy with their department work. But still the staff of zoology department was very helpful to give us all the information needed and also the students. Now our problem was that we had to screen the video for the students but we were not given a date. Pleading Prof.Dange we finally got a date but we had to submit our project on the same day. Dange sir specially spoke to our ma’am and helped us out.
Finally the day we had to screen our video arrived and we all were very excited as it was our first presentation for unknown audience. We screened the video for nearly 40 students and all of them seemed happy and satisfied with our work. There were students who pointed out our mistakes. Overall it was fun to work on this project because we not only learned about zoology but also different interesting fields and scope of this field.

Life
Life is a mystery,
It has a lot of background and history.
It has its own ups and down's,
But it makes you laugh like a clown.
Life is precious,
But you need to be cautious.
You earn from your mistakes'
And you have a lot of heart breaks.
It might be sad,
but it's not at all bad.
You'll learn to have fun,
During the life long run.
It's a one way road,
But still we want more.
You should accept the things the way they are,
Or else you will land up in a beer bar.
Enjoy your life the way its comes,
because it has happy memories some.
Give it a glance,
or else you'll miss out a wonderful chance.

PR in Train
It was a lazy Monday morning (actually all mornings are lazy). My friend and I were in a crowded Churchgate train. Though we were sitting opposite each other we were not able to see each other’s face. I was trying to talk to her but it was not possible because of the crowd. We were reaching dadar and everyone knows that the most of the people get down at dadar.
So when my train reached dadar, most of the crowd got off and now train was little empty than before at least I could see my friends face. Though we were still not able to talk but we were talking in sign language. There was this man who got in from dadar and he was selling a pack of three pens for Rs.20. This man was different than the other sellers who usually try to shout and sell their product. He was very peacefully coming near every seat and was talking about the product that he had. As he passed my seat, I heard some ladies sitting next to me talking to each other. They were saying that, “This is train ka samman. There is no guarantee of these things. You never know they might not even write properly.”
The man was crossing our seat and he happened to hear what these ladies were talking about him and his product. He stopped near my seat, looked at them. The ladies were a bit surprised but they didn’t react. The man smiled at them and said, “Madam, we are poor people and when I leave my home every morning, I just pray to god that the things we sell should earn us our day’s livelihood. In this world there is no guarantee of us human beings, as there are so many blast taking place at any random places and you are talking about the guarantee of these pens??? And he went on saying that, “I had come to Mumbai 40 years back with 50,000 in my pocket. But life had decided something more else for me. I was cheated and then I was left with nothing at all. I wished I had invested even in small huts in Nalasopara, that time I could afford them. And by now I would get so much more money that I would have actually put in them. Now I live in mahim in a small hut. I just pray that I should never become a reason for some one’s lose. Because I have gone through that phase.”
Listening to his story the ladies who didn’t want to take those pens actually ended up in buying them. He managed selling more than 20 packets in that small place. No one knew that the story he told us was true or no. But the way he said it, influenced everyone. These people have not learned Pr but they can still manage doing it and sell their products.
I know its not a good example but I just felt writing about this and so have I done it.

POLARIS FEVER
Polaris! Polaris!! Was heard from every corner of college. Finally the most awaited days of all the Wilson College BMM students arrived.
All the volunteers and staff members reached very early morning and started to work in their respective departments. The FY’s also were on time. It was really good to see that the FY’s were helping all their seniors in whichever way possible without even knowing us or having a clear idea of what exactly POLARIS is all about.
The TY’s were guiding us in their own ways as they have a good experience of what could go wrong and how to handle such situations without losing one’s calm. So their help was an added advantage to the POLARIS committee.
The BMM department is not much involved but all the staff helped us a lot. Even the head of BMM department Mr. Sudhakar Solomon Raj was very concerned that the events start and end on time scheduled for them.
The contingents that had participated in Polaris were extremely energetic and were co-operative. All of them had come up with different jingles to promote their respective contingents. The college hall was beautifully decorated with colorful so that one can feel the essence of our theme- carnival.
The festival started off well. The events were organized and the rest of the departments were working very efficiently to make this festival one of the best BMM festival. The hard work of the committee as well as the volunteers and the staff members paid off. The festival was a hit and was appreciated by other colleges as well as our H.O.D.
POLARIS was a huge success in spite of many ups and downs. And now we wait for our next POLARIS to come and we all are very sure that we will rock the festival in all the times to come.

God's most precious gift
Mother, maa, mummy, aai are different names which mean the same. The primary duty of a mother is to raise her child in the best way possible. From the time a baby is born a mother’s love and care is the only protection that a child gets without even asking for it. My mother actually is an ordinary woman but in her tiny appearance lies an extraordinary strength, a beautiful soul and a very kind hearted woman.
The mother, who brought me up in the toughest challenges of life, helps everyone in need and has a great will power. A person who faced all the situations in her life with a great zeal. It is through her I learnt the meaning of life, the values that make up a good person; to be optimistic in life and to face problems in your life with determination and to never let failure affect you or your path of success.
My mother has always thought me to help anyone without expecting anything in return. It is she who has taught me to appreciate everything that we get in life. My mother has always got what she had never expected in her life. But still it has never affected her determination. Mothers are always worried about the well being of her child but it is we who sometimes ignore her advice and then face the undesired consequences. But at that time also it is our mother who suffers more than us because a mother cannot see her child in pain.
Even before my tears could roll off my eyes my mother was there to wipe it, she feels my pain even before I could realize it, and she knows my needs without me even telling her. She’s been an extra ordinary woman who has always influenced my life and will always be. She has helped me grow physically, intellectually, emotionally. She has taught me to love, care and be happy in all the phases of your life.

CINEMA
Cinema's today are the most and very powerful and popular media.It has reached every nook and corner of our country.Cinema's can influence a person's behavior and thoughts to any possible extent.
A person may try to imitate his/her favorite actor/actress behavior as they act in particular movie. So the movie directors should be very careful as what they portray in their movie as there are audiences who may perceive it in the wrong sense.
Cinema has the power to change a person's thought pertaining to some thing and also but it also plays a major role in shaping opinions. Cinema not only effects the national markets but also inter-national markets.
Some times cinema has adverse effects on people which is exploited by political parties to their advantage which leads to damage of public property and riots which effect the life of common people.
It is my only opinion to make movies which leads to betterment of mankind rather than destruction. Directors should even curb violence and stop glamorizing the ways to make fast money and reaching the top which is unfortunately followed by most of the youngsters today. Thus destroying their whole life.

CARNIVAL it is!!!!!!!
The annual BMM festival of Wilson College “POLARIS” had a promotional event on 10th July 2011. It was a parade from the college campus to the college gymkhana.
The parade was scheduled to start at 7.30 in the morning. Being a Sunday morning it was very obviously expected that there wouldn’t be much crowd for the event but it was not so. Not only had the different college contingent participated but also various departments from our college were actively involved in the parade and very well promoted their respective departments.
The college principle flagged off the event and gave us a green signal to start the parade. The Wilson BMM students and staff followed by the rest of them. There was bio-tech department which had very creatively come up with a DNA molecule made up of colorful pipes. There was nature club with beautiful banners prompting their department.
The contingents that participated had good PR strategies. Bata Bano, Paris and nice were some of the carnival contingents. There were continuous cheering, drum beats and much more. Wilson College had arranged for a horse carriage to enhance the theme of carnival. There were jokers performing some stunts.
The rains tried its best to reduce the excitement of Polaris but it failed. Because all of us were in such high spirits that nothing could stop us.
We reached the college gymkhana after an amazing parade. There the contingents were given a chance to promote their carnival after which the result for best PR was announced. It was followed by refreshments and rain dance by all the students.
All the members were happy and satisfied as their hard work paid off. The parade was successful in its purpose and it created a history as nothing of this sort was attempted before. And now we wait for the three days of Polaris. And as it is said, “all that starts well ends well”.
GO POLARIS!!!!!

Problems of Elder abuse
Today the world is moving at a very fast pace and in this fast moving world one of the most increasing problem is Elder abuse. Today the children are so busy in their hectic schedule that they do not have time to spend with their old parents.
The life of youngsters is so much into themselves that they do not like much interference from their old parents. They do even have time to speak to them. They need their privacy and think that their privacy is disturbed by the presence of their parents.
They do not realize that their parents were the one who have spent their entire life just making efforts so that their children can become capable enough and hence support them in their old age. But for youngsters today, it has become their forced responsibility to look and care for their parents. Ultimately they leave their parents in old age home where they have no known faces to help them in their times of need.
Once they leave their parents in old age homes, children just forget about them and get busy in their own lives. They don't even think of going and meeting them again not even once a month. They are least bothered to know the well being of their own parents.
Senior citizens are faced with so many problems like unemployment, malnutrition, depression, loneliness, isolation etc. Sometimes children leave their parents alone and shift abroad leaving their old parents open in the world of crime.
It is the responsibility in fact the duty of children to look after their old parents. When parents can take care of 4 to 5 children then why can't children look after their parents??? In this fast moving world one should not forget our roots but should always stay connected to them.

TERRORISM
A word which terrifies everyone from people in the highest strata of the society to the lowest is the TERRORISM. No one knows where these people come from, what's going on in their minds but their only intention is to kill innocent people and thus terrify the government to fulfill their unrealistic demands.I feel that these people do not have hearts or even if they have its turned into stone because to kill so many people mercilessly with out any reason is not a task which people with normal hearts can even think of doing.
I wonder what forces them to do this. But most of the times they are brain washed in the name of religion and thus they feel what ever they are doing is religious ant will make their god happy.But what about people like us who lose their near and dear ones with out any reason.
In the past few years terrorism has caused a lot of damage to the infrastructure of the country as well. But the only thing that the terrorist can never damage or destroy is the spirit of people in India.Be it what ever time of the day the attack or blast takes place,people are always ready to help in what ever way they can.
It is because of this spirit of the people that our country has survived even the most deadliest terror attack.People of India must need to set their differences and prejudices against each other aside and unite to fight against
TERRORISM.People need to be more cautious and alert of the happenings in their surroundings. If we manage to do this then we can face not only Terrorism but any other problems more bravely.

BMM...From the age of 15 I had a fixed mind to get in BMM even though I had no idea what actually was BMM..If anyone asked me “what are going to do after your 12th”?? I used to answer them very confidently that my planning to do BMM, and when they asked me what that course is about, I would tell them “that you can ask my mother”. By the time I cleared my 11th I had a clear idea what was BMM. So I knew that either I would end up in BMM or FYBA.
When I had my 12th results in my hand, I was very excited to go to different collages and fill my BMM forms and then there was a wait for the list to come out. My name appeared in the second list of Wilson collage and my happiness knew no bounds. I was so happy that finally I will be a media student.
Collage started and I was introduced to the different subjects in BMM. After my first day I was so sure that this course is not for me. I am not a confident speaker nor am I very good with my writing skills. As I shared this dilemma of mine with my mother she told that “it’s ok. You don’t need to worry as there is a lot of scope for you to learn and improve yourself”. And she was right.
As time passed, we had computers lectures and to add to my problem I was even more nervous about this subject. Because I had never ever heard of photoshop or adobe premiere. But it was not that difficult as I thought it would be. And then came presentations. But my presentations were good even though I was always nervous.
As first year came to end, I knew that what I was when I started this course and now I know where I stand. To end I will say that it was not a cake walk for me, not only me but am sure many more but I guess all of us now have a clear idea what are we expected to do in this course and I am surely trying to improve myself and I know that I will.

The three Things I love
My First love is cinema or Bollywood. I like watching any kind of movies be it action, comedy, romantic or a suspense movie. When I was a child, I had no idea about the different camera angles, different shots and different aspects that comprises a movie. But now being a media student and learning cinema in my curriculum it is good to have a different eye for every movie. Now whenever I watch a movie I try to analyze it from different view as how is the movie edited? How is the transition of the scenes in the movie, what are the different angles and how are they captured? Etc. It really feels good to know that the course I am in is adding to my knowledge of my hobby.
The second love of my life is my school days. Being a student it was so annoying to get up early morning and dress up for school and wear the same uniform daily. Tight oiled hairs with black shoes and clean white socks. Bags packed with books and Tiffin and bottle stuffed between the books. But now as years have passed, I feel school days were the best. School was the best place where I learnt so many things like values and discipline which are very important for my life. In school it was so much fun to see all your classmates present. Even the smallest break was enjoyed and Tiffin’s were shared. We can do the same in collage also but school life was very different and will always be very close to my heart.
The Third love of my life is my friends. A good friend is an asset to life. With friends, I can be myself. I know that they will understand me as they know me very well. It’s so much fun to meet your friend’s everyday and share even the smallest detail of your life. Even a simple walk from station to collage is memorable because we talk anything that comes in our mind and this is what brings us more close as we get to know each other. I am loyal to my friends and can count them in my hours of difficulty and so can they.

A Small Suburb in Mumbai- NALASOPARA
Location: District Thana (Maharashtra) - Lat 19º 25'N, Long 72º 4
Nalasopara is a small suburb of Mumbai. It can be approached by easily by trains. It is a place where only trains are available for transport to distant place. This place is not much known to the people but now it is coming in lime light because of its historic importance. Recently, some of the fragments of rock edicts of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka of 3rd century BC has been discovered. This site is locally known as Buruda Raja ka kotha or buruda Raja fort. This site contains a large circular ruined dome.
In ancient times, it was the largest township on India's west coast, trading with Mesopotamia, Egypt, Cochin, Arabia and Eastern Africa. Proof of Ashokan inscriptions have also been recovered .Buddhist text gives details that is was a prominent Buddhist area. During excavation ruins of a Buddhist Stupa were found. From the center of the stupa (inside a brick built chamber) a large stone coffer was excavated which contained eight bronze images of Maitreya Buddha which belong to the 8th-9th century A.D. The coffer contained a relic caskets, numerous gold flowers and fragments of a begging bowl. A silver coin of Gautamiputra Satakarni was also found.
As this place is now become a historical place, efforts are being taken to recover this site. Living in Nalasopara since so many years, even I had no idea of this site. It’s because of its mention in newspapers now local people are aware of this place. This site still does not have many visitors. There is a lady at this site locally known as mataji who has been taking care of this place since 14 years. When I interviewed her, I got to know that there was a time when Nalasopara was very famous for its sandalwood cultivation. It was started by a follower of Lord Buddha. Before his death he donated all his wealth in the name of Lord Buddha.
Even now this stupa is eroding and no precautions are taken to protect this place. The Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation is looking into this matter. There are now records being kept of the people who visit this place. They are also given a book to help them know more about Lord Buddha and his followers. Recently a statue of lord Buddha is placed here by a monk from Thailand. Being an important place, we can only hope that this site is recovered and maintain because it is important from the point of view of our heritage.

TELE TODAY!!!!
Television today has reached every nook and corner of India. Be it a house in rural India or a pent house in urban India, they have become a very important part in the life of Indian women. These soaps have typical stories but still they are enjoying the support of majority women.
Most of these serials are viewed by ladies who are either house wives or by senior population. These serials show the women protagonist dealing with various problems in a very tactful way. The problems they face are generally harassment by in laws, or ill treatment by her in laws and at times even their husbands. Women's easily relate to these serials as they might have also faced some of theses problems in their life.
Today in this 21st century every women has her own stand and is not at all dependent on her husbands for her needs. One thing that will never change is that however educated the female is she has to suffer in her in-laws place or any other problems and to cry in all the possible episodes. There are women who face the same problems or at times even worse conditions but they do not keep crying all the time.
Why can't a Indian daughter, daughter in law be happy??
The directors infact should try to show the Indian audience a wider and brighter side of a womens life. They should focus their camera to the changing world rather then sticking to the same old stories. Today there are many Indian girls who are very happy even in joint families.for example sasural genda phool- it is a story of a girl who is a spolit brat and lives life according to her own principles. but she changes herself and changes for good after her marriage. She is very happy at her husbands place.
My view to today's television is to not exaggerate the problems but to show Indian daughter in-laws happy and changing for good in her husbands place.So lets hope that the future television soaps will bring in the new era in the lifes of Indian womens in the television world.
