Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Petitioning is a good thing but then in the free world, it hardly matters what one thinks about India.<br> I have always found CNN having the aptitide the the size as that of an insect and they love sleeping with diseased bed fellows. Said and done its their opinion. They have a right to it and they will ahve to take up the cponsequence of having such opinions.<br> I have stopped reading CNN long ago. This is since three years now. I prefer Washington Post <a href=http://www.washingtonpost.com/ target=new>http://www.washingtonpost.com/</a> any day followed by New York Times.<br><br>Our own hindustantimes.com, timesofindia.com and rediff.com are really good in news coverage. If we as indians stop visiting websites like CNN, apparently either they narrow their point of view in which case they will not be objective even as a claim or they will have to revise their opinion. Consumerism is a really good thing to beat corporations with. Even otherwise, I would spend quality time with websites that are more quality oriented like the ones I recommended earlier in this post.<br><br>Question could be what has the original post and my reply to do with Saadhana. It has something to do with saadhana and very much so...please think and u will see what I mean.<br><br>My two pence.<br><br>- Seshadri.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 Hi Sesh<br><br>Good to hear from you and specially happy that there is a topic here that was of interest to you!<br><br>>>It has something to do with saadhana and very much so...please think and u will see what I mean.<br>>><br><br>While I'm not sure what YOU think this has to do with our club, I did think about it for myself. I see an interesting connection. It has to do with supporting, encouraging, cheering actions that one considers less than Right Action. <br><br>Sangha. We reflect ourselves in the company we keep and issues we support. We can all stop supporting CNN and express the fact that their actions are not acceptable to us. There will be many who think we are wrong, and that they are the ones who are giving the true picture. We may wonder how so many intelligent people, knowing and seeing what they know and see, support such actions. We will say, birds of a feather flock together. They will instead look down on us and call us names. Such is the game of life, I'm told. All has a purpose, a part of a circular causal relationship in the universe. <br><br>By the way, I don't watch CNN either. Instead aside from those you mentioned, I also read International Herald Tribune, <a href=http://www.iht.com/frontpage.html target=new>http://www.iht.com/frontpage.html</a><br>Time Asia, <a href=http://www.time.com/time/asia/ target=new>http://www.time.com/time/asia/</a><br>The Economist - <a href=http://www.economist.com/ target=new>http://www.economist.com/</a><br>BBC - <a href=http://www.bbc.co.uk/. target=new>http://www.bbc.co.uk/.</a><br><br>Does that help my sadhna? Who knows! At least I feel I have taken responsibility for my actions.<br><br>_/\_<br><br>Uma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2002 Report Share Posted January 20, 2002 Hi Uma,<br><<<br>Good to hear from you and specially happy that there is a topic here that was of interest to you!<br>>><br>Definitely not a topic of interest to me in any sense. It caught my attention because of politics guiding emotion. A topic of passing curiosity and I really had some time at that very moment.<br><br>Apparently, I understand u are saying the same thing that I had been saying in my previous post. Action or inaction if guided twords lord has meaning otherwise if they serve the ego, has little meaning. I am sure we agree with it.<br><br>My actions of telling the CNN its wrong is to look away from it twords more responsible websites including those that give me home news. These in mass practice will turn into statistics and help decision making at management levels. This will also save me time so I can use it qualitively. Your way is to tap their shoulder and tell them, hey its wrong. <br><br>So its the same message.<br><br>Have a good day ahead.<br><br>Regards,<br>Seshadri.
