Here we jostle in the sea of mankind There you peer to find a human in the desert of Najd Here we minimise and optimise There you wonder on such ideas Here we struggle and struggle to survive There you endeavor to shed fat of comfort Here we stand in queue for a visa to fly out There you yearn to rehab back In nutshell, The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Today’s TV channels and Telescreen of George Orwell's '1984' Anyone who has not read the novel ‘1984’ may mistake it to be about anti Sikh riot of Delhi. The novel ‘1984’ is in fact a visualization of totalitarian society, a dystopia. It is one of the most famous novels of dystopian genre.

Though the novel portrays so many facets of an all powerful authoritarian regime, here I am trying to visualize the news studio vis-à-vis the dystopia of ‘1984’. The news channels today act like omnipresent Telescreen of Oceania. The hate session which is conducted for two minutes on the Telescreen of Oceania goes on incessantly 24x7 today. The news channels convert any event which increases the TRP into breaking news and the real breaking news is ignored. The news rooms are converted into war rooms and media trial rooms. The nation wants answer, is repeated...
Watan ki mitti pukarti hai ab chalo wapas chalen Chhod kar sab aisho ishrat ab chao wapas chlen Maal-o daulat ki justaju ne dar badar tujhko kiya Dhundhne ko ghar wo apna ab chalo wapas chlen Ghair ki basti mein yun kab talak reh paoge Bula raha hai gaon apna ab chalo wapas chlen Tum bhale hi chhod do maalo daulat sab yaheen Maa faqat chahti hai tujhko ab chalo wapas chlen Aaj poorab ki hawa mein khushbuon ka hai payam bahar aai hai watan mein ab chalo wapas chalen Nashad ho ai Imteyaz reh kar watan se door tum Baandh kar bistar tum apna ab chalo wapas chlen
