We all love watching Ramayana on Television

For many, this is an epic, but the fact remains that Ramayana is a part Indian Culture.

We all have seen the following commercials of Ramayana.
First – Two boys complaining and accusing each other-
Kutta Kamina, Kanpati Par Doonga, Chup Kar Kamine“!

Then – A girl saying to the next door neighbor –
“Bhag gayi hogi kisi ke saath”. “Mujhe to pahle se hi shak tha”, “Garam Khoon Hai Na, Kahan Jaayegi Kalmuhi”!, “Subah Tak AA Jayegi“..

And of course – the latest melody from a boy -
“E Ganpat chal daru la. Are Sada thoda kam soda thoda pani mila.
Thoda table par bacha, thoda de na“!

Translated in English it says -
Hey Ganpat make me a drink with little soda. Leave some on the table and get me some now.

Well Crafted, Well Crafted!

Television advertising has been an established form of advertising and it reaches children too. In some countries there are laws which say

“A commercial with advertising that is broadcasted during commercial breaks on television must not have the purpose of attracting the attention of children less than 12 years of age.”

It is ironic or rather unfortunate that here children are in lead roles.

In India also there are certain codes of ethics for commercial broadcasting, issued by the advertising council of India, especially when it involves children.
Indecent, vulgar, suggestive, repulsive or offensive themes or treatment has to be avoided in all forms of advertisement.

Media should not make it such a melodrama when the same thing can be put forward in a better way.

But why to blame only the media? We all are responsible, especially parents who allow their children to do so. Don’t they realise, the damage they are causing to their children, and if they do understand this, they have no right to pass on this to the teachers and society.

We all have to think before it is too late.
