I was watching Vh1 in the morning, they were listing top 10 singers who influenced and intensified the pop music.  A pop music artist not only defines the present culture and fashion. They are energetic and express what they want to say. . Pop music is not really specific to any particular genre but its youth centric and sounds like rock and roll or rock. It does not have a specific audience, it for the people in general.


They give a lot importance to live performance's, technology and production. Live performance's differ from artist to artist. Michael Jackson's concert is different from Eminem's concert. But they are adored by the public.Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Britney Spears, Eminem,  Shakira and Robbie William's. They come up with different stage setting and reinvent themselves with their every new music album. Every artist has a different flair of dancing and performing.
MJ always gives earth shackling performances and stun's his fans with spectacular dance and beats. He is also known for his famous dance' Moon Walker'.

Its a very stereotypical notion  that pop music artist's are influenced by the existing fashion  trends.
 But actually its the other way round, the artist define's the trend. What they wear, dress and how they behave has a huge influence among their followers as they adore them. Michael Jackson didn't follow the trends, he created them. Jackets, shoes, hair style , accessories and suits resemble him. The original skinny jeans wearer, black shoe, glasses, the hipster before hipsters even appeared and the inventor of the clothes mullet.
 Madonna has always been controversial when it comes to her costume in her music video's and stage performance's. She did break all the taboo by wearing the wedding dress in a seductive manner. But after all if she isn't there then our planet will be boring. After all she is the queen of modernism, the movement one thinks about modernism an d women, Madonna flashes before everyone's eyes. Pop music artist are trend setters like lady gaga and Rhianna who have transformed themselves over years to become a popular pop artist. Rihanna changed herself from a sweet simple girl to what she is now. She is confident and believes in what she does.
  

Pop music basically focuses on the craftsmen ship of the artist than his/her artistic qualities. Pop music is widely accepted as only the popular one's make their way to the audience. According to me pop music is cool, trendy, youth centric, stylish and makes a person move. I love listening to it.

Reality shows became popular in India during 90's. These shows gave a break to the stereotypical Mother-in-law-daughter-in-law serials and other various monotonous programs. Reality shows did get a lot of attention as it was entertaining and something new, not the same old prepared program. Over the past few years Reality shows have transformed drastically. 

Since the initial stage it was a western concept adopted by Indian media industry to increase more and more eye balls. Most of the shows are copied from the American shows like who wants to be a Millionaire-Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), American Idol- Indian Idol and power of 10-Dus Ka Dum. From settings to stage everything is unaltered; it’s the same show but the Indian version. By blindly coping shows to stay updated to the International media kills creativity.
 An original work is always appreciated but it’s not accepted by the money making tycoons whose only concern is profit.  


 

Reality shows hold a mirror to society. They exhibit the talents of an individual and as well as give a platform to improve themselves. Most popular shows like Cyrus Broacha's MTV Bakra, KBC, Indian Idol, Rakhi Ka Swayambar, Rakhi ka insaf, Big Boss 4, Splits villa and Mtv Roadies; India's longest running reality show. These shows have high TRP rates and hence hold a responsibility to air shows with some moral value.

Big Boss 4 scored a TRP rate of 4.9, highest scored achieved by any show in India. The languages used in these shows are really abusive, sometimes physical violence also prevails on the screen. These shows are heavily censored due to enormous adult content and vulgarity.  Participants go to any extent to get publicity.




Though people consider reality show as a big time entertainment, they also affect people emotionally and morally. Many a times the participants get offended and they lose their confidence. They face humiliation and get psychologically affected. They lose their self confidence which was built by them over the years. Splitsvilla ( the gamble of love) and emotional atyachar don’t guarantee the right partner anyways as after two or three years they break up.
It’s just that younger generation want more masala, but as long as they do not take an ugly face, it’ll be enjoyed, talked and laughed out. But then we must know that reality shows were never part of our society and the sole concept is western. So, right now I am waiting for an original, desi, and admirable reality show .

The tiger is a magnificent animal, and is the largest of the big cats. Tigers are found practically through out India, excerpt the desert region. They are found up to a height of 3050 metres in the Himalayas. The tiger ( Panther a Tigris) India's national animal on 1973, and they are highly endangered. the loss of forest habitat is the major factor contributing to the decline of these majestic beasts. 
Tigers were once considered to be harder to hunt than lions, due to their habit of living alone in dense cover and not noisily asserting their presence with roars as often Their hunting ares are turned into farms and villages. Their numbers have also been  reduced due to extensive poaching in many Asian countries for their valuable skins. Their body parts are used in Chinese medicine and exotic recipes.Tiger bones and nearly all body parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine for a range of purported uses, including pain killers.
 Tiger parts are used in traditional East Asian medicines, particularly in traditional Chinese medicine, where many people believe that tiger parts have multiple medicinal properties. When combined with the high prices that furs fetch on the black market and destruction of habitat, poaching for medicinal uses has greatly reduced tiger populations in the wild. There is also unrestricted killing for trophies. Some tigers are declared to be man-eaters or cattle lifters and killed. This has also led to the decline in its population to great extent. 
The Bengal tiger has been a national symbol of India since about the 25th century BCE when it was displayed on the Pashupati seal of the Indus Valley Civilisation. On the seal, the tiger, being the largest, represents the Yogi Shiva's people. The tiger was later the symbol of the Chola Empire from 300 CE to 1279 CE and is now designated as the official animal of India.In 1939, there were thought to be 30,000 tigers in India but today there are only around 1411 left! 


The White tiger is not a separate species. It is a normal tiger that has a special gene that gives it the characteristic white color. The White tigers fur is pale, and it has chocolates colored stripe and pale blue eyes. it is hard to find tigers in wild. Most of today's white tigers are found in captivity. Out of the few, one hundred are found in India.

Corruption in India has got wings not wheels, with its growing economy the level of corruption has also increased. . Corruption is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals.The various means of corruption include graft, bribery, embezzlement, back door deals, nepotism, patronage, and statistical falsification For 2010, India was ranked 178th of the countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index, which was a huge setback from the preceding year.


An international watchdog conducted a study on the illicit flight of money from India, perhaps the first ever attempt at shedding light on a subject steeped in secrecy, concludes that India has been drained of $462 billion (over Rs 20 lakh crore) between 1948 and 2008. The amount is nearly 40% of India's gross domestic product. 
Besides India keeps herself updating on media on corruption scandals, Common wealth Games (CWG, now also known as Corruption wealth games), 2G Scam, Indian premium League(IPL),  Adharsh Scam , Satyam Scam and many more to name. Corruption exists even while distributing relief to the disaster affected people .e.g. During the Tsunami reliefs and Orissa  cyclone's the there were a lot of corruption. It did exists in allotting money to the families of the dead soldiers of the country. 


One of the main reason for corruption in India is due to  massive population which is impossible to control. Complex laws and pending cases in the court, discourages its citizens to ask for help. Corruption reaches its peak during the election time where big Industrialists fund the politicians and expect favors in return after they gain power.Another major set back is that the younger generation is more tolerant towards corruption as they are used to it, this may affect all the future citizen's ethics and moral conduct.  In order to get elected, politicians bribe poor illiterate people, who are slogging for two days meal a day. Politicians are interest oriented rather than concentrating on national oriented programs and policies. 


China on the other hand  In 2009, China ranked 79 out of 180 countries on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. Corruption  has a corrosive impact on our economy as it  hampers development. It worsens our image in international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities
 The government of India is trying to decrease corruption by implementing laws like Right to Information Act and many other organization like Computerization, Ombudsmen, Whistle blowers which help in reducing the level of corruption. Government should allow independent bodies to take charge because most of the time the CBI & CID are under influence and hence does not give a clean picture of the case. Creation of Anti-Corruption Police and Courts

"Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely"- Lord Acton
Corruption is the most hampering factor in the growth of each and every country. It affects the developing countries than the developed countries. Corruption has become part of each and every individuals life and its inevitable for many individuals in few circumstances. Corruption exists in different levels in society, there are petty corruption to Corporate corruption. Broadly speaking there are two kinds of corruption one on day to day basis which directly hits the citizen and the other one's are giant corporate corruption which engulfs tax payers money mercilessly. Well any kind of corruption is corruption and should not be taken leniently. Corruption is a global phenomena which affects the people around the world.
 Across the globe corruption exists in variations and according to the latest BBC report , in Uganda its 84%, Afghanistan 61%, U.S.A. 5%, Denmark 0%, and Norway 1 %. With rising inflation and economic depression existing in most of the countries, a corruption has taken an ugly face over a past few years. In the end its just the conman man, the citizen of the country who gets cheated and defended, they lose hope and belief among the people an government. This is worrisome and humans must trust each other for survival.
