New Team India

What’s the biggest challenge that India faces today? Corruption? Price rise?

No! Its the 4th Test against England at Nagpur..!! And out netas have decided to face the challenge themselves. Forgetting all their difference they have made a team which is expected to perform atleast some point better than the current team.

The Batsman

The Netas XI:

Digvijay Singh- Fearless like Sehwag. Just like Sehwag’s shots, his words are neither technically correct and nor do they make any sense. But one things is for sure, whenever he hits, he hits it hard enough.

Sushma Swaraj- Aggressive, but with an intent. People considered her as the next captain of the team, but the beacon was passed to some-one else (Read: Virat Kohli/Narendra Modi). Too often gets herself run-out unnecessary.

Arvind Kejrival- At number 3, you need to have your most trusted batsman. This new guy has played some fantastic innings in his short carrier. But he is still inexperienced and there are questions on his survival in the long run.

Sachin Tendulkar- Considering the recent form, if not in the whole world, he still is the best cricketer among all other MPs.

Narendra Modi- A hot property at the moment. People calls him the next leader, but there are many critics of his brashness. A tough challenge looms ahead, will need control over his vocals.

Rahul Gandhi- So! so much promise. But nothing yet fulfilled. People calls him the Yuvraj, but has failed to survived the bouncers at the pitch of UP.

Manmohan Singh (captain)- Agreed that in past he had many glories (the World Cup/1991 Economic Reform), but the recent failures (England-Aus series/2G-Coalgate) has made people asking him to quit. In spite, he is probably our only choice as a leader.

Mayawati (as part of dalit reservation quota)- Her carrom balls, leaves everyone guessing. So what if she has failed to do what is expected from her (ie to take wickets/win UP elections), she is making her marks elsewhere (batting/FDI voting).

Nitish Kumar- So long this position was reserved for some-one else (Bhajji/Lalu), but by bowling consistent line and length, Nitish has now taken over this positions. But there is still a lot of scope of improvement.

Mamta Banerjee- The best in business when it comes to reverse swing, right from the times of Vajpayee. But her government..err.. wicket taking abilities are now in question.

Meira Kumar- Neither Ishant nor she know what are they doing in the team except to fill up their position.

The above team has been made after taking into account reservations for dalits and 33% for women. No reservation for religious minorities could be provided, as the same is still not provided in our Constitution. However, for their appropriate representation Salman Khurshid has been included as 12th men in the team.

Btw, the coach, as expected, is a foreigner and no prize for guessing her name.

P.S.: I apologize and is very ashamed for putting such derogatory remarks on such eminent persons. Pls don’t arrest me..!!  :P

Gujarati boy disappointed to know Tulika won’t be CM if Congress wins

 Jignesh Modi, who turned 18 earlier this year and will be voting in the upcoming assembly elections next month, is confused over whom to vote for.

Jignesh had almost made up his mind to vote for Congress after seeing TV and online ads featuring a girl called Tulika. However, he was heartbroken to learn that the girl was just a TV actress and not the Chief Ministerial candidate of the party.

Television actress Tulika, who is often seen on TV news channels these days.

“This is cheating!” Jignesh protested, “I thought she will become the Chief Minister if Congress won, but she’s just an actress! Now I have no idea what to do! I don’t even know who the Gujarat Congress head is!”

Jignesh is the first known case where an aam admi has made up his mind after being influenced by TV ads by political parties. A similar case was reported in 2004, where a man in Delhi was believed to have turned a BJP supporter after watching India Shiningads, but investigations later revealed him to be a television journalist and not an aam aadmi.

“You can sell soaps, deodorants, insurances, or tickets to samagam of Nirmal Baba through TV ads, but not political beliefs,” a marketing professor of IIM Ahmedabad told Faking News.

“You have to buy political support, you don’t sell it,” the professor explained.

However, Congress has not lost all hopes. They are confident that spinners stalwarts like Kapil Sibal and Manish Tewari can issue statements that might confuse people like Jignesh and make them believe that Tulika indeed could become the Chief Minister of Gujarat if they voted for Congress.

“It’s almost like making people believe that they will get to kiss Katrina Kaif if they buy Slice mango drink,” a Congress leader conceded that the task was not so easy.

“But then we have made people believe that there was no 2G scam!” he pointed out.

“Or we may even consider making Tulika the Chief Minister,” the Congress leader further said, “Just like Manmohan Singh is the Prime Minister.”

RUDY - To make dream reality

Happy Diwali and prosperous new year to all of you. On this ocpicious day, I would like to tell you a story of a guy who had done something what we all want to do. We all try to do it.


"Having dreams is what makes life tolerable."

Life is all about dreams. Watching Dream. Achieving Dream. and most important, Feeling that we and our loved one get when we achieve it. Many times we are desprate to do a perticular task. or want to achieve something. But do we actually do that much hard work for it. Do we give our 100 % to complete the task? and what if your 100 % is not enough to achieve?

When we are young, studying in 2nd or 3rd standard, enjoying childhood.. We all dream about being cricketer, film star, pilot or any other fancy jobs. but do we work hard for next 15 years to be that? Do we put our whole life on risk to achieve that dream? NO. and then we say, I was not brillient or I didn't had family support or I screwed because of politics or any other excuse.

But there was one guy, who came across all odds, He defeted all problems, He won the power, He achieve what no one can achieve. His name is RUDY. I am talking about guy called  Daniel Eugene "Rudy" Ruettiger 

Rudy was born in small normal family. He is having less then average hight, average weight no extra style or skill in his life. but he has dream. Dream to play in Football team of University of Notre Dame. He want to do anything for this damn thing. First issue was he didn't even get admission in College, Due to his less grades he can't get admitted in College or University. and his family was not having money to teach him.

So, He started working in mill and saved money for his higher education. He decided that one day he surely gets into that team. only one guy, in whole world, pete, his best buddy believes in him. On Rudy's birthday, Pete gifted him Jacket of Notre Dame. Pete says "You will surely do that one day". After that, There is fire in mill and pete can't survive in that.

On the funeral of Pete, Rudy decided to complete his dream. But it was not at all easy. He is not having skill for playing football, not good grades or not even money to be there. So when he decide to go there. It was really tough time to be there.. He gets admission some how in college, but if he gets good GPA, only then n then he can move forward to University, and then he might might might get chance to be selected in Team of Football.

He tried his best to get good GPA, He worked damn hard in classes. He also done part time job at college ground to be there, to feel that emotions. and after hard work and dedication of one year. His application to get admission in university is REJECTED. He again start working for whole year. His application rejected again. this happen for 3 year.

Finally in his last try, he had given everything and this time he got selected in Univeristy. He got admission in University and his practice started. He was not best athlate. not even in Top 60 out of 95 athlates in that field. but his willing to be there is more then any one else on ground. He gives his 100% on ground, everyday he got hit, injured, get blood, his body was online, he can be dead anyday and at same time he knows he never will be in the team. Then also he worked real hard for this.

4 more years passed, He never got selected for team. He never had chance to be on ground, walk in through that era. His despression was increased like hell.. He had done whatever a mankind can do to achieve it. but he can't get there. because he is having nither talent nor skills but he is having one thing, That is hope and hardwork.

Now there was one last game, before they all graduated from University and Rudy never ever had chance to be on team again. For last game, team was declared and he was not there. He was upset and tensed. But that time all players went to coach's room one by one and offer their position to rudy for last game. So after this he got chance to be at that place, and when he entered on that ground, his family, friends, all were there to see his success. He had done it. which we always think IMPOSSIBLE.

This is true story. you can check it with movie RUDY or his books

SARDAR - THE KING OF SHADOW

Sardar...

In India  people only love and respect person who is on no.1. no one care for who come second or even who help no.1 to reach that person.We are just use to praise Gandhiji for helping india to be free from British but sadly we are forgotten lots of others who have worked really hard give their life their family everything just for make India independent.

With total respect to Gandhiji, He is really done great job and motivate everyone to do the work. but we really forgotten the work sardar had done.The toughest time for survive for India was from 1947 to 1950. because we were independent but don't have nothing in our hands. All India was distributed in approx,560 constitutes and they are run by Kings and Prince of that constitute. Sardar has done greatsest work to make 545 constitute to sign them to india and make united India. and his colleague has given only one state Jammu & Kashmir. and that issue is still on bar.

In 1980’s peoples are discussing how values of gandhiji are working in today’s era. in 2012 people are still discussing same. movies like lage raho munnabhai reminds us about bapu we think for few days then forgotton. but i think we should discuss about sardar and we have to give him honor to be like sardar. As i started with we forget for no. 2. We forget about sardar. We really require leader (not politician) like sardar .He was man with honor  working for 24×7 country. Sardar was pillar of Indian history and we forgotten him really badly.

To deal with kings and prince of more then 500 constitutes and convince them without any war is one of greatest achievement in history of India  Way he tackle issue of Hyderabad and junagadh was really good. He work for 24 hours. He went to delhi and kolkata to stop riots he went to muslim’s home and request them to control their self and also control hindus also.

I really like sardar most because of one reason, that he leave post of first prime minister of India  Gandhiji wants him. all elected persons were with him but just ego of one person.he left his place and be deputy to him and this is real sacrifice(not which drama Mrs.Sonia Gandhi done ). At that time he just work for india not for position  He told his son not to come to delhi till he was home minister so no 1 can try to use his son for his post. Sardar was not only good leader but also good father.Her daughter maniben patel was one of most active leader at that time but she never use his father’s postion to come up. She was using “ratio” and making cloths for sardar and after that cloths were old she use for her self. (Are you reading mayawati and jaylalita???). It was really great culture given to her by sardar.

Now let’s sardar’s life before he became sardar. Vallabhbhai Patel was son of ladba jhaverbhai patel. He was not come first in studies but he finished his metrics with good marks. everyone in family thought he will be same like other boys find something and start work again but his thinking was bit different he apply for law and study for lawyer. This time he knows about gandhi and he really don't like him. He thinks by just using less cloths can we send British back? He was married with Jhaverba and having 2 children Maniben and Dahyabhai.

He went to london and practice for law and make money then come back and start practicing. There was medical surgery on his wife Jhaverba and he was fightning case in court, while he was cross-examine witness he got note informing him demise of his wife but he read and put it in his shirt and again start asking que. with same passion same heart. After winning case he was just cried there and urgently rush to hospital. He decided not to merry again and give his childern best future.

Vallabhbhai once listen gandhiji and really impress from him and start reading about him and everythinng. When bapu ask Indians to devote their life for nation Vallabhbhai agreed without any hesitation  He started work as candidate in congress. He lead the champaran satyagrah again British then he work in kheda and bardoli. here he got name sardar patel and then known as sardar for lifetime.

Sardar devote his all life for india.He was not like to only work with labours or only with industrialist. He has very good relation with J.R.D.TATA, Sarabhai. but he never use this realation for personal use. He use his own pen to do personal work and other pen for official work. He taken lot of money from industrialist and use that very efficintly in india.

HATS OFF TO YOU SARDAR

There is lot to right but i stop my self now with few lines which sardar said about division of india and pakistan all in his words….

“I fully appreciate the fears of our brothers from [the Muslim-majority areas]. Nobody likes the division of India and my heart is heavy. But the choice is between one division and many divisions. We must face facts. We cannot give way to emotionalism and sentimentality. The Working Committee has not acted out of fear. But I am afraid of one thing, that all our toil and hard work of these many years might go waste or prove unfruitful. My nine months in office has completely disillusioned me regarding the supposed merits of the Cabinet Mission Plan. Except for a few honourable exceptions, Muslim officials from the top down to the chaprasis (servants) are working for the League. The communal veto given to the League in the Mission Plan would have blocked India’s progress at every stage. Whether we like it or not, de facto Pakistan already exists in the Punjab and Bengal. Under the circumstances I would prefer a de jure Pakistan, which may make the League more responsible. Freedom is coming. We have 75 to 80 percent of India, which we can make strong with our own genius. The League can develop the rest of the country”

We are proud to be Indian like you..

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

We all do extremely silly things we wish we could undo. We all screw up, sometimes, horribly so. Who else to teach us that everything will be okay than our trusted Friends? Let's take a leaf from the books of one of the greatest TV series ever made!

Today, we’d like to applaud the goof ups, the blunders and the messes they created; no matter how badly they screw up, they pick themselves up with gusto and move on with life – reminding us that no matter how bad things seem, it ain’t the end! So have a look at our list of the best Friends’ episodes, where we commemorate some of their finer gaffes:

The One After Ross Says Rachel

Little slip-ups happen at weddings all the time. Although, we doubt taking the wrong name at the altar comes under the definition of ‘little slip-up.’ In Ross Geller’s case, it led to a full blown out catastrophe with Emily walking out on him. Taking Rachel along on their honeymoon didn’t help matters either.

The One Where Ross Got High

Rachel Green may have been the hottest waitress New York has ever seen, but she wasn’t exactly what you’d call ‘bright.’ As amply proved in the episode where she attempts to make desert for an important Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, the cookbook pages get stuck together and she ends up making a trifle that’s half trifle, half shepherd’s pie. Yes, Rachel actually serves a trifle comprising of ladyfinger, jam, custard, raspberries, beef sautéed with peas and onions, bananas and whipped cream. Thank God for Joey and his glutton tendencies which save the day!

The One With Ross’ Teeth

Socially awkward as Chandler might be, even he can’t outdo Ross in the horrible date stakes. In order to prep himself up for his date, Ross goes a bit overboard whitening his teeth. And by overboard, we mean he colours his teeth to an in-your-face, blinding shade of white – the kind that detergent ads on the telly pride themselves on. Ross manages to save the date by barely saying a word and covering up his mouth while speaking. That is, until the end when his date, Hilary, sees his teeth glow neon white in the darkness. Sigh. Looks like Cupid is just not into Ross.

The One With Rachel’s Inadvertent Kiss

Even the smartest of us turn into nervous wrecks when it comes to job interviews. Which is why you can excuse Rachel for misinterpreting the interview’s politeness and kissing him. Except that she goes back the next day and tells him off for trying to make sexual advances onto her. Later on realizing her mistake, she goes back the third day and apologizes and all goes well. Until it is time for her to leave, Rachel innocently reaches out to shake his hand and ends up grabbing his crotch. Ouch!

The One Where Emma Cries

In all honesty, we all occasionally zone out during office meetings. Falling asleep during one is probably is a step too far, and sadly, Chandler ends up paying dearly for it. He dozes on and off during an important office meeting and accidentally ends up accepting to shift to Tulsa, Oklahoma. After getting pressure from Monica, he tries to wean himself free but screws it up by calling his boss by the wrong name, mistaking her daughter for her son and ends up saving face by telling that he’d love to go to Tulsa.

The One Where Rachel’s Sister Babysits

Popping the question is no easy task, and unfortunately for Mike, he messes it up not once, but three times before getting it right. He plans for an elaborate proposal during half time at an NY Knicks game jut to have Phoebe tell him that how cheesy she finds onscreen proposals. Later on, eh hides the ring in the cake just as Phoebe tells him how predictable it is. He finally pulls it out, cleans it and they get engaged on the fourth try. Ah well three botched proposals aren’t heartening for a guy’s ego but if he plans to marry Phoebe Buffay, he’d better get used to all the craziness!

While Friends was all about having a good time, the show occasionally touched upon issues in a more serious vein. Chandler and Monica’s desire for a child, for instance. Eager to impress the adoption agency, they select Joey to write a testimony for them. However, he sends it in handwritten which leads the agency to believe that a kid wrote it. Determined to get it right, Joey writes another letter, and enlists the help of a thesaurus to make it seem classy. The only glitch is that he ends up using the thesaurus on every single word. The letter turns from, “They are nice human beings with big hearts” to “They are pre-possessing humid sapiens with full sized aortic pumps!”

So the next time you mess up in front of scores of people, just lose yourself in an episode of Friends.  If Ross can take another girl’s name on the altar and survive, you definitely will!

GoW - Anurag Kashyap ne KAHE KE LI....

"Abe ye WASSEYPUR hai, yaha kabootar bhi ek pankh se udta hai aur dusre se apni ijjat bachata hai"

Year 2012 has been very astonishing for Bollywood. Bollywood has delivered some awesome flicks ranging from Paan Singh Tomar, Vicky Donor, Chhodo Kal ki baatien,Barfi, I am 24, Life ki to lag gayi, OMG Oh My God, English Vinglish, Aiyya and many other movies. There will be movies like Love Shuv Te Chikan Khurana in this year only. So over all this year had been very very excited for bollywood. If you see the above list, you can notify that most of them are not having many superstars and all. but stories and screenplay is great for them.

Apart from All these movies, Movies that made statement this year are "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Gangs of Wasseypur 2". If you want to learn how to make a movie, This two movies will be best examples of that. When we talk about mafia movies, first movies always comes to our mind is God Father series or Scarface. but I think this is movies which are changing this field. These movies are as good as God Father.

This movie is based on Wasseypur and Dhanbad of India. Where story started in year of 1940 when working of coal blocks are on and it makes issues between Ramadhir Singh and Shahid Khan. and apperantly Shahid Khan's son Sardar khan decides to take revenge. After Ramadhir kill Sardar Khan. his son Faizal try to get revenge.

Today We talk about 5 different aspect of this movie,where they have done awesome job.

Dialogues and Songs

"Goli nahi marenge use, Uski kahe ke lenge" , " Itna goli maarenge ki tumhara driver khali khokhe bech ke ameer ho jayega"

These are just examples of what treat you will be have when you watch movie. There are different ways to explain thing and in this movie they have choosen extereme levels for same. The language is core of that state. Few years ago, when someone speak in that type of bihari, it looks outdated. but this movie had made movie that language "in-thing". Local language and way actors communicate in movie are very profound and deeply developed. For Example, There is one song in which they have efficiently take so many english word and attach them directly or use them like they are bihari words only.

Jo bhi wrongwa hai usey,
Set Rightwa karoji,
Naahin Loojiye ji hope,
Thoda fightwa Karoji.....

Now here they have superbly used english words without any fuss. and even u don't feel that this song is having english words.

Screen play and Back Ground

Movie shooted in villages of Varanasi to give feeling of
Bihar and Jharkhand

Movies like these, always require special back ground and places where they are shooting, because this movie represents some places like bihar, Jharkhand. and it must show locality of that level. And Anurag Kashyap had done masterclass work in this part.

When you see movie, you can see buildings, vehicles which represent those times, those era and also locality. As home of Sardar Khan is same in old movie but it's architecture or structure perfectly belongs to bihar look.

Screen play has also been one of major factors of successful movie. Actors like Manoj Bajpayee, Tigmanshu Dhuliya, Nawazudin Sidiquie, Huma Querishi and Piyush Mishra are part of film and As a director Anurag Kashyap had bring best from all of them.

Time Line

GoW starts in era of 1940 and last scene of movie is of 2009. Now when you want to show almost 70 years, It is very difficult to show changes on screen. It's not about showing a particular year on screen and say it's changed. It takes lot more then that. and That is best part of this movie.

Sardar khan Travelling on bike with
2 others

Way years are changed in movie or story moves forward, it is having changes in related story, in first part people are trying to use landline phone with very difficulty and in second part when it belongs to era of 90s and early 2000s it shows people using pager. and it last era they are showing people using mobile in  movies.

Same thing is applied with vehicle they are using, way back in starting, Ramadhir singh is using FIAT AMBASSADOR and Sardar khan is using Jeep. In future when things got chaged. cars and bikes and all are also changed. One of great example of this is when in second part we can see "Definate" is driving on bike and other guy was chasing him on scooter. that's the scene to watch to check indian roads and vehicles running on it.



 Names and Situation

Names of actors in this movie are also make it so much special. Ranging from "Sultan Qureshi" to "Sardar Khan" and also have strange names like "Definate" and "Perpendicular" and "Tangent".

As movie is not about Killing people, but survival of one, it shows people are desprate to kill other. When they do that, it must be shown by their name and their look, and Anurag Kahsyap had done great job in it.

Tribute to Bollywood.

"Tumhe pata hai ham pichle 55 saalo se ham wassepur pe kyo raj karte hai? kyo ki ham sanima nahi dekhte. hamare vakt me Rajesh Khanna tha, fir Amitabh Bachan aya.. aur aaj kal ye konsa? ha salman khan hai. magar ye sab dekh k insan batiya jata hai"

This is Ramadhir Singh says when he is talking to someone about change between 1940 and 2004. We all know that bollywood has completed 100 years. and I think this movie had given Tribute to them in real superb way. For every occasion, it can be marriage, birth or funeral. there is singer who is sings bollywood songs in desi way.

To describe years are changing, They have used great ways to change Posters of movie. They are showing "Maine Pyar Kiya" poster and after 5-10 mins when time era is move forward it's "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" Poster. Also Faizal Khan's wife is singing songs for him on phone when he is in jail of DDLJ.

Faizal Khan adopts Amitabh Bachchan style
 after watchin his movies.

There are many more instances like, "Perpendicular" is giving Jadu ki Jhappi to random guy after watching Munnabhai M.B.B.S. or Faizal Khan is having hairstyle and looks like Amitabh Bachhan after watching his films. and when Faizal delivers dialouge"sala me to amitabh me se shashi kapur ban gaya".







This movie is path breaking in many many ways explaining the way of Indian behaviour and mentality at same time stick to it's main story with so many subplots and things.


HATS OFF TO ANURAG KASHYAP and his team to deliver something that will be never ever seen on screen again.

બી બરફી !!!

બીજી બાજુ આજે ઉતર પૂર્વ ના રાજ્યો માં જયારે હિંસા નો માહોલ છવાયો છે ત્યારે આ જ સોશિયલ મીડિયા દ્વારા ફેલાવામાં આવેલી અફવા ને લીધે બેંગ્લોર, પુના, મુંબઈ અને અનેકવિધ સ્થળો થી ઉતર પૂર્વ ના લોકો પોતાના રાજ્ય, પોતાના ઘર તરફ હિજરત કરી રહ્યા છે. એકલા બેંગ્લોર માં એક ડર નો માહોલ છવાયેલો છે અને ૧૦,૦૦૦ થી વધારે લોકો છેલ્લા થોડા દિવસો માં પોતાના ઘર તરફ બેંગ્લોર છોડી ને ભાગ્યા છે. આ છે સોશિયલ મીડિયા ની નેગેટીવ બાજુ..

આ તો થઇ સિક્કા ની બે બાજુ. પણ મુખ્ય મુદ્દો હજી એ જ રહે છે. કે ખરેખર આ સોશિયલ મીડિયા કઈ બલા નું નામ છે? તો સોશિયલ મીડિયા એટલે સાદી ભાષા માં કહીએ તો ઓટલા બેઠક. વર્ષો પહેલા લોકો ગામ ના પાદરે મેળાવડો અને ડાયરો કરતા. પછી સમય આવ્યો કિટી પાર્ટી નો કે જ્યાં સ્ત્રીઓ ભેગી થઇ ને પાર્ટી કરતી. પણ આ દરેક જગ્યા એ એક વસ્તુ કોમન રહેતી. એ હતી ગોસીપ. મનુષ્ય ને પહેલે થી જ બીજા ના જીવન માં શું બની રહ્યું છે એની ખુબ ચિંતા રહેતી અને એની ચર્ચા કરવા માં ખુબ આનંદ મળતો. સોશિયલ મીડિયા આ જ વાત ને પ્રોત્સાહન આપે છે. ફેસબુક, ટવીટર, બ્લોગ આ જ વસ્તુ બતાવે છે. આજે દરેક વ્યક્તિ ને ઈચ્છા હોય છે કે તો પોતાના વિચારો લોકોને કહે અને લોકો એને સંભાળે ને જવાબ આપે. આ જ વાત ને લઇ ને આ બધી વેબસાઈટ કામ કરે છે.

પીકનીક માં ગયા હતા, તો કરો ફોટો ફેસબુક પર અપલોડ, જેથી તમારા મિત્રો ને ખબર પડે. કોઈ સારી ફિલ્મ જોઈ, એના વિષે બ્લોગ લખો, જેથી અન્ય લોકો પણ એ ફિલ્મ જુવે. કોઈ સારી હોટેલ માં જમવા ગયા . ટવીટ કરો જેથી સૌને ખબર પડે કે તમે ક્યાં જમ્યા. આ જ વાત છે મિત્રો. આપણે લોકો ને એ જણાવવા માં ખુબ મજા આવે છે કે આપણે ક્યાં ફરીએ છીએ, કેટલું જાણીએ છીએ ને શું કરીએ છીએ.  એક કોલેજ ના વિદ્યાર્થી એ ક્લાસ ના ફોટો અપલોડ કર્યા  ત્યારે ખબર પડી કે ભાઈ ચાલુ કલાસે ફેસબુક પર ચેટ કરતા હતા. આ એક બહુ જ ખરાબ દુષણ છે. 

હવે જયારે કોઈ રાષ્ટ્રીય કક્ષા ની ઘટના બને ત્યારે લોકો તરત જ પોતાના વિચાર આ માધ્યમ દ્વારા પ્રદર્શિત કરે છે. આમાં સેલીબ્રીટી અને સામાન્ય લોકો બંને સામેલ છે. અને હવે તો ઈલેક્ટ્રોનિક મીડિયા પણ સોશિયલ મીડિયા નું મહત્વ સમજે છે અને એને પ્રાધાન્ય આપે છે.  આમ ખરેખર જોવા જઈએ તો સોશિયલ મીડિયા બે-ધારી તલવાર છે. તે જેટલું ઉપયોગી છે તેટલું જ ખતરનાક. તે જેટલું વિશ્વાસપાત્ર છે એટલું જ અનિશ્ચિત. 

કર્મ ની કઠણાઈ:

જયારે માર્ક જુકેર્બર્ગ ને પૂછવા માં આવ્યું  કે ફેસબુક ની વ્યાખ્યા શું? તો તેમનો જવાબ હતો "ફેસબુક એટલે ક્લાસ રૂમ વગર ની કોલેજ"
