Not everyone's day starts with bed-tea and newspaper, but I am sure almost everyone's working hours start with http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com or http://www.rediff.com/ and a cup of coffee. The way your day starts is known to have a great influence on your thoughts day long and are also reflected in your actions. But alas! The media seems to be ignorant of this fact.
The moment you pick up any newspaper (or even news channels), your eyebrows are raised and three dark lines appear from no where on your forehead.Be it the headlines, the latest news or the most read section,all you get to read is some accident happening somewhere, some girl being raped somewhere, some robbery, some murder,some suicide, some scams or divorce cases and relationship woes. And these thoughts remain in our minds (conscious or sub conscious) and add to the irritations and frustrations in our already stressed lives.
It is not that only these things are happening around us. Good and motivating things also happens with the same frequency. Every other second some person helps someone, someone achieves something(may be small or big), someone fights his/her problems courageously and becomes a source of inspiration for others.But these stories hardly find any place in the news and even if they are successful, it's some where in 20-22 page of the newspaper.
I am not saying that we should totally be unaware of what is going around us. My only point is we could start with something positive. This would not only increase our efficiency but also better our mood.
The day our newspapers have only positive and motivational articles in the first page, our productivity and satisfaction is bound to increase. Japan is already reaping the fruits of this concept. It's our turn now!!

Your blog echoes sentiments of our former president APJ Kalam..
hmm..
Well a great thought but the practical aspect of it is that papers sell coz of masala which is provided by such news, or by the political aspirations which shall boost the papers credits...
Anyways thats the sad part of it though i believe evryone should become aware of the fact and start buying 22nd or 23rd page only.. as rest of the masala already comes in news channels....
