well the issue is quite a serious one and the grae political and economic scientist have wriiten many thesis,books, drafts etc to prove their point of view.but i am not going into those academic issues.looking from my perspective and a common middle class persons perspective let us try to analyse the effects of globalization in very simple terms(i am not trying to make any conclusive remarks but only trying to say what i feel)
1)mobile phones:may be some years back it was a priced possession which only the rich could afford.but whats the scenario today.everyone has a mobile phone.the only difference lies on the set we have and its cost.but basically everyone has it.so in a way it shows equality as well as inequality.but i think it puts all thepeople at par as far as the use of a tool of telecommunication is concerned.
2)television sets)well may be 20years back fewer ppl had television and colour television was a luxury.but glaobalization has made them so affordabe.in this case also the difference only being that the rich can flaunt with their sony bravia lcd whereas the middle and the lower middle class people can have an ok flat scrren 21 inch colour tv.but everyone gets to watch a colour tv!(my mom used to tell me that in the 80s very few ppl had tv at their home and even my mom used to go to mu mausis place to watch sunday movie telecasted on television !!)
but their is one more issue that sometimes pinches me .that is that with the flood of everything in era of glaobalization the excitement and craving for things that we used to have previously has somewhat vanished.may be we enjoyed those good movies that were sometime aired on doordarshan much more than now when everyday movie channels show those movies!!somewhere the feeling of joy has subsided.

watched ISHQIYA!!!
i hope tis is how it is spelled!i must say that till now i hd faaith in the critics and i was dead sure that a movie which they recommended will atleast be average if nothing more.and among the critics i really had fauth on taran adarsh who i always thinkseaks right.but this one was horrible if nothing else.it was diametrically opposite to what he told in his review.coming frm the clan of vishal bhardwaj who gave hits like omakara and kaminey i thought it would be worthwhile but to my utter disappointment it was total crap.
and one more interesting thing.may be multiplexes now a days r following rulesas they asked students who had come to watch the movie to show the proof of thier age!!although besides some cheap dialogues there was nothing much else to award it an a certificate:p
anyways dont go for it if u r thinking of in wildest of ur dreams!

stomach pain!
well today i am suffering from stomach pain.well i know its not the best of topics for creative writing purpos but ican think anything creative at this point of time.i really dont understand how ppl r able to do thints and acts in aa goal oriented manner even when they r not 100%.i find it very difficult.may be those ppl r more determined and have loads of patience and perseverence.but may be i lack that.
what else to say.bcos hardly anyone has read any of my posts till now!!but i have done so many a times time and again!!well recently a new show has started on ndtv imagine named"rahul dulhania le jayega"!!from the makesrs of rakhi ka swaymwara!!well i dont know where the tv shows r heding towards!!the competition seemed to have increased a lot these days which is making producers to carve out reality shows on each and every feature of human life.there is even a realoity show called"mahayatra"which tries to cash upon the religious sentiments of the audience!
anyways time for a bit of food although my stomach is paining!
