Earn The Easy Way


With the changing time the demand for part time jobs by the students is also increasing. These part time jobs are not for a monthly basis or half yearly or something but for a day or two. These jobs vary from being a promoter to a hostess or even emcee of the event.
And most of the time we see that these jobs are always in favor of the girls. Girls are called frequently to work and are paid more also than the boys. The payment of a girl for the job is thrice the boy’s payment.
There is no particular reason for this. But the demand is always for girls. A promotion or an event is incomplete without them.
When I started working before two years as a promoter my payment was only Rs.500 and now a normal promoters pay starts with Rs.1000. I always got something new to learn doing these jobs. And as Chennai is developing rapidly the event managing industries are also growing.
But wait….. This is not that easy always. There are few people who exploit the girls and boys. They take their commission from their payments. For some events the man powers don’t pay at all saying that the client was not happy with the performance or the money is pending from the company etc. the youngsters are made to wait for months to get there pay sometimes.
-So I would suggest work only for people you know.
-Don’t get involved in the wrong work.
-Make sure about your payments.
-Don’t share your numbers with unknown people.
-Work only for the time you have been told.
With these I am sure you can survive without any harm and earn a lot. Take everything as a learning experience and challenge. Adjust yourself according to the demand of the job. I am sure you will be recognized for your hard work.

Lets Be Responsible Now


Though the government has taken steps in cleaning the beaches. The results are not that appreciating. Whenever I go to the beach I find it worst than before. I could see the garbage out of dustbins but not in its right place.
I question myself that why so? What are all the authorities doing? Why is everything in a mess? And the answer is that it’s not only the authority that is responsible but even we should try acting smart and save our beaches.
Chennai attractive spot are its beaches. Most of the visitors from other states and countries like to visit the beaches but after their visit the image carried by them of the beaches is not good. My friend came to Chennai before a month ago and I took her to the marina beach. I was not surprised actually because I was expecting that reaction from her. She liked the cool breeze touching her and she liked watching the waves but when she was looking around on the sand and near the water there were so many waste materials lying down.
There was no proper dustbin also for her to throw the waste and she asked me why the condition of beach is so sad? And I had no clue what to answer her. I went back and was reminded of my acts which have made the beach like this. Like you all even I don’t feel responsible for my acts. It was only when after this incident I went to the broken bridge with the ROB organization who are actively in charge of cleaning the beaches. We were all students some 15 people and we were asked to clean the waste which was lying down under the bridge. If it was some other day I wouldn’t have even imagined to get down and even look what is there.
I must say that it was a tough job. And while cleaning I was wondering from where all the waste came near the water. We had a discussion after the activity that what is the reason for this mess? And with many active listeners and talkers we came to know that it is because of us only. Sometimes when we walk on the road us through whatever we want thinking that it will be cleaned. But it is not so, it remains lying on the road. Then even if we put the waste in the dustbin all the materials are not taken some are dumped and some are thrown again. And when rain comes all these light weight materials like papers, thermo cols, plastic etc gets drenched and comes along with water.
Now I realize my mistakes and have started watching my acts. We are the problems of this and only we can be the solution. So let’s act smart and responsible and make Chennai a worth living place.

My Pick


Dear readers
With the development around the world “THE INDIAN MEDIA” is also following the path of globalization leaving behind several areas of development. News is now created by the media in the name “That public wants that’s why we (media) give”. But the truth is media doesn’t portray the truth about our country completely. There is news which sometimes is not given much importance and some which is neglected completely.
One of them is the weaker section of our society the poor people, like farmers and laborers etc. each day for them has something new which I personally think is worth showing. But the fact is that the whole media is diverted towards what is called as “Lifestyle Reporting”. Not many people want to show or write news about the poor people.
But a man winner of  Ramon Magsaysay award for journalism, literature and creative communications arts an award winning of Indian Development journalist PALAGUMMI. SAINATH rural affairs editor-The Hindu proudly calls himself as a ‘Rural Reporter’ or just a ‘Reporter’. In an interview on INDIAN MEDIA he focused our attention on how media is responsible for informing every citizen of the country. Media has a great responsibility of showcasing what is happening. He cleverly says that now media has started making profits. He warns that the ‘freedom of press’ should not become the ‘freedom of purse’.
P.Sainath is an active reporter focusing on the social problems o our country. He spends 270 to 300 days from the past 14 years in the rural India. The passion which he has towards rural development and upliftment of media in a fast growing economy like India is unbeatable.

I totally agree with all his thoughts and comments. It is very true that when on the one hand side thousands of farmers are committing suicide our media is engaged in covering fashion week where in a country like India only .2% of the whole population using designer clothes.
It is high time we realize our importance and individuality. It is our responsibility to stand unites and oppose to the evil side of the society.
