सोशल मीडिया और मैं

आज सोशल मीडिया मेरे लिए एक ऐसा उपयोगी पलैटफोर्म बन गया है जिससे मैं अपने आप को समाज और देश-दुनिया की परीचित घटनाओं के साथ अपडेट रख सकता हूँ। लेकिन पहले ऐसा नही था। जब मैंने पहली बार इसके बारे में सुना तब सबने यही बोला कि, “भाई, सारे दोस्त हैं इस पर खूब बातें करते हैं सब”। बस फिर क्या था, मैं भी नए-नए माध्यमों से अपनी “आई.डी.” बनाता गया। लेकिन हाँ जाने-अनजाने इसने मेरी पढाई और मनोविज्ञानिक सोच पर असर तो डाला ही है। तभी हमेशा पढाई करने से पहले एक बार तो फेसबुक और वॅटसैप चैक करना आदत सी बन गयी थी। लेकिन आज ऐसा नही है। आज दोस्तों से गपशप करने के साथ-साथ सोशल मीडिया मुझे सामयिक घटनाओं में भी मुझे सक्षम रखता है। पहले टवीटर, ईन्सटाग्राम, ब्लोग, न्यूज ऐप जैसी चीजें । आज चाहे राजनीतिक भड़ास निकालनी हो या किसी फिल्म का प्रमोशन करना हो, सोशल मीडिया को सबसे पहले ही चुना जाता है।

Lakharwala Gumbad after restoration in 2018 at the Sunder Nursery  A narrow lane in Nizamuddin East with big white tourist buses on one side and a long stretch of cars on the other, honking relentlessly, takes you to Sunder Nursery.

Tickets costing Rs 30 for Indians and Rs 150, Rs 300 for ASEAN countries and other foreign counties tourist respectively, luckily I was exempted for being “ministry  wala”.  Kids’ rolling down the grass slopes, few old ladies singing at kitty party and families sharing lunch- Sunder Nursery is now a new Sunday picnic spot for Delhiites. Spread across 90 acres this is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Delhi and has a small area dedicated to “Organic and Lifestyle’ Market.”  After reading about it in  Times of India , I planned to spoil my Sunday morning snooze, but counted it as one of the fascinating Sundays! ...

(Image Source: indiablooms.com Whatever seems to be impossible, for the duo: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah, turns out to be victorious, and sometimes with much bigger margin. With this, Tripura gives, the BJP it’s CM number 15. The journey from “Shunya” to “Shikhar”, in BJP’s ideological battle against the Left, in a region that is crucial to RSS plans, the Tripura result is more than another state victory. With PM Modi in Party’s Delhi Headquarters dedicating this victory to the slain party workers died in political clashes in the state, CPI (M) General Secretary, Sitaram Yechury blamed the “money and muscle power” used by the BJP in all northeastern States.
