The Art of Balancing.

I am going to lay my view on the pros and cons of social networking sites. I think it was in 2005 i first heard of this social networking site called Orkut, from there the journey begins. Some time back Orkut was the leader in India but now Facebook has replaced it. Now a days everyone is having a FB profile like ration card.

First the advantages. 1) In this fast phased life we are not able to keep in touch with people so often, its a difficult thing to contact each and everyone separately, in that case SN is an advantage. Even if you log in for 30mins you can keep in touch with everyone at one place. 2) You can be well aware of what's happening around you because news spreads so fast in these SN sites. 3) If you are talented in something you can share it there and get applause and recognition. 4) It never makes you feel alone.

Now the disadvantages. According to me the only disadvantage i see is, people are getting so much addicted to it. Without their knowledge they slowly start to ignore the real life persons who are around them and start spending too much of time with strangers. For many people FB has become life. These sites are for relaxing not to spend the whole day in it. Many people don't want to accept the fact that they are offending the people around them.

I am not saying that we should not use these sites but we should know how to balance between virtual friends and real life people. If we don't then we are the loser.

SS vs HN

When i happened to see Vijay tv's airtel super singer in 2006 it was just another program in a tv channel, but the popularity it gained in the later stage was enormous. As a singer i know how much of a boon is this show for upcoming singers. Rather winning you get lots of exposure,tips from well established singers etc. But after seeing SS's today's quality i really doubt whether my above points are still valid !! Now a days its not at all looking like a singing competition but like a fashion show. Even the judges are playing their part for the money they get like showing fake anger,tears,biased judgement etc. What to do vijay tv is famous for commercialization. By commercializing the show i feel they lowered the dignity of the show and also failed to retain the success of the show.

After a point i got totally pissed off with SS and started watching Hariyudan naan, i feel it has a standard which SS don't have. By just watching HN you can learn many things, if you know the basics of music. Even this show is little biased when it comes to some participants but its not so blatant and they do give due respect to real talent.

May be from a viewer point of view both SS and HN is just a time pass but in a singer point of view i feel HN is better than SS.
