Egypt Plunged into Violence

Egypt
EGYPT, the headlines these days filled with news of growing violence on part of Egyptian Army are very hard to ignore. For the recent few years now Egypt has seen more then its fair share of unrest and violence. On 14 of this month Egyptian Army which came to control after carrying out Coup d'etat and deposing Morsi's Government stormed on Brotherhood protesters with the help of Helicopters in the skies while bulldozing encampments on the ground.

The violence that followed has left almost 100 people dead while some 3000 injured in the streets. Once again Egypt has been plunged into state of continued Violence, Churches Burned by Islamists with reciprocation on Government's part that followed declared emergency all across the country. 

It was very unwise of Army to depose the democratically elected president; not that there is any doubt about the governments poor performance on almost every front whether in terms of economy or security issues, it is a known fact that sectarian hatred for Muslim and non-Muslim minorities was not controlled properly by the government. But still Army made a huge mistake by doing so, a mistake that has inflicted wave of violence on innocent people in the streets and has paved way for civil war.

It is not too late, armed forces should be refrained from wrecking further havoc to bring Egypt back to stability. One big step that can bring stability is announcing parliamentary and presidential elections as soon as possible.

The Generals should think about the consequences of their actions, violence is not the way to solve anything. Considering the complex characteristics of Egyptian Populace, it is not hard to contemplate that democracy is not a result of any revolution but evolution and as such it should be given time. Another factor that contributed to the present scenario at large was the political involvement by the Egyptian State media, illegal coup was termed legitimate and labels put on previous government naming them terrorists that sparked infuriation from Muslim brotherhood.

Everything happening at the moment in Egypt is Confusing for many spectators, which I think has been main reason along with vested interests on part of many countries. But the lack of response from international community is only making things worse!

The Newsroom is attempt to revitalize Journalism

Aaron-Sorkin-The-Newsroom
There are all sorts of TV Drama series; some are action and fiction based while others deal with realities, but then there are others that deal with realities in whole new way garnering massive audience. The Newsroom is one such example, it is a political drama based on Behind the scene story of real events inside ACN(Atlantis Cable News) that is purely a fictional news company reporting said events. It has been created and written by Aaron Sorkin; Sorkin who is known most notably for The West West Wing (an Emmy winning and critically acclaimed series) started working on The Newsroom back in 2009 and was given an order by HBO to produce pilot in January 2011.   

The Newsroom is for the ones who take news and journalism seriously, so obviously audience targeted was not huge but still it managed to get huge audience due to its unique way of presenting the storyline. This one for sure is inspirational for future Journalists to be, as for me I am writing this opinion from a normal viewers point of view and in my opinion it is worth a watch due to its take on news in a different way.

The Newsroom grabbed attention via its videos excerpted from first episode in first season that went viral on social media, Will McAvoy made quite an impression on viewers with his explanation as to why America is not a greatest country any more (outstandingly put to the screen).

The show focuses on how journalism should be, helping electorate to make informed and educated decisions not the otherwise. Will McAvoy along with his staff join in together to change the way news is reported via News Night 2.5 in face of all the corporate, commercial and personal obstacles; reviving News Night in light of the quote that ''Every one is entitled to his opinion, but not his facts''.

Just like every other Work of his with serious tone like The Social Network, Money ball or The West Wing; The News Night is centred around ideals that explain how things should be! That is where the value of his work lies and for that very same reason he is considered one of the best screen writers. In my view The Newsroom dint receive the attention and audience that it deserved so well.

Trust the Essence of Relationship!

trust-in-relations
With the rapid advancement of technology along with the world all round us, the relationships whether observed in terms of workplace or daily relationships have become complex. Today these relationships lack the essence of trust; Trust that originates from the honesty, integrity, benevolence and character of all the concerned parties. Everyone of us involved in various relations at points in life ponder upon the ingredients of an effective and healthy relationship, Is it all Trust? or just to some extent.

Trust in a relationship! whether it is personal or business relation or any other relation, always depends on a persons ability and capacity to trust the trustee. Capacity to trust dose not come up in a moment but is a whole sum of life experiences. Therefore when particular relationship lacks the essence(trust) in the beginning due to any bad experience then both persons or more should take time to build the trust because without trust nothing is possible, it is the building Stone.

The trust broken is difficult to build again! So they say but in my opinion one should not loose faith and should always try to act in a way that dose not lead to broken trust in the first place. Basic pillars that give any relation strength by maintaining trust are to be honest ALWAYS!, being tolerant to others opposing point of view, Not lying in any case and being responsible and caring.

Relationships
What creates a perfect relation? has been researched for the past century by Sociologists and others, Their Common Findings and my opinion both are the same. You have to be open, have to risk others response to your openness, have to learn from mistakes rather then enforcing your control and in doing so you build a strong relation that has trust at its core. Also Trusting you own-self is what contributes to breathing trust into the relation!
