Prefer juices over cold-drinks…

Recently I was at my niece’s school for attending a Science Exhibition. The exhibition was having projects of students right from 1st standard to 10th standard. I was going through some of the projects and experiments. Astoundingly I came across a very simple, but very informative study project. The project spoke about and showed the ill-effects of Pepsi, Coke etc cold drinks on our teeth and other body parts too. The student emphasized the effect of cold drinks on teeth in particular.

The project was very simple. He had kept 4 eggs in the tray. One egg was looking white as if using “happydent white”. And the other two were looking like rusted iron and one was orange in color. Asked what is this, the boy promptly explained that,” egg shells are made of calcium. Similarly, our teeth are also made of calcium. When these eggshells were kept immersed in coke and pepsi showed signs of rusting and deteriorating. While the orange eggshell was kept immersed in Mirinda”.

When the boy showed me these observations and results, I was numb for some moments. My brain stopped thinking for some moments. And I thought, how much the cold drinks are spoiling our health. Despite knowing this, people go for cold drinks rather than some juices. Juices have some quality ingredients in it which will help boosting the health. Even the media industry is concentrating only on cold drinks. Why don’t people from media and entertainment industry come forward and try to imbibe in people the importance of drinking juices??? Is this only because of the reason that juice vendors or stalls cant pay them (stars) the money which these cold drink industries are paying??? Is this the sole reason???

Ithink stars should come forward and advertise the healthy product so that people will start to buy them. As we all know, people imitate highly influential personalities like Bollywood stars, I think this will be a better campaign to start selling such healthy juices instead of cold drinks. Because cold drinks don’t add any healthy ingredient, but juices do. What do you people say about this??? Should India experience anything like this???

Entertainment industry is thinking…

Yes…. Finally entertainment business is thinking with their own mind. And not into copying business from Hollywood.

After seeing “The Wednesday”, “C kompany” and “Welcome to Sajjanpur”, I was very satisfied to learn that finally Bollywood is bringing forward some sensitive issues.

Talking about “The Wednesday”. Very excellent movie. Touching onto a very sensitive issue in India. The movie portrays the role of “Stupid, Common man” in very effective form. How a common man will interrupt in the system if something is not done about terrorism. The movie successfully handles the subject. The movie says that religion here is not important but terrorism is.

Similar efforts have carried out through “C Kompany”. How resolving people’s problem can be done through DADAGIRI way or with the help of Underworld. By underworld I mean sounding like underworld and acting like Real world. There are various facets of this issue and the path but I think if the correct and lawful way is followed then the path will lead to glory.

And now talking about “Welcome to Sajjanpur”. This movie also elucidates on the democracy issues in India. Why the rights has been avoided for some people in our culture who are neither man, nor woman, how people stand in election with power and bloody background in their past and how a Letter writer becomes Novel writer. The movie effectively portrays all the issues with ease and very creative and rural touch. The movie also tells us how the things in politics affect a very small village also. In all a very good movie. Humanity and various facets of humanity are shown in effective manner.

At the end, what I want to tell through this article is, Bollywood is thinking with their own brains now. And trying to bring the sensitive issues in front and showing some possible solutions. Though the path may or may not be questionable. I my views the path should not be questionable. And industry in thinking to solve some issues through the medium of media. It’s good to do such things.

Congrats (bollywood) for such brilliant efforts.
