Pls answer: What is PRESS FREEDOM ???

What is Press Freedom?

-- Sitting on piles and piles of newspapers to ensure that they are not distributed.

-- Hijacking printed papers to ensure that readers are barred from being informed.

-- Boasting of doing a great job by making a joke of working journalists by discouraging them by barring newspapers from delivering.

NOW should I take the courage to say that only a genuine journalist understands how he/she struggles the whole day for a piece of news. And imagine what he/she feels when his/her hard work goes astray the other day!!!

GOT my point? If not, damn it!!! After all this is the common trend. It is a human nature. YOU keep on ignoring minor stuff...BUT remember you will be compelled to understand when you come across the same situation.

NOW, allow me to ask a question, which could be "bitter" to those who are ideologically a supporter of press freedom, but practically a blatant critic of press freedom.

Question: When will the time come when a Nepalese journalist can work in a professional way...without hinderances...without pressures...without political intervention...without threats...without ....?

I am sorry if my question is absurd for a person like YOU.

Wish you luck!!! After all we are in a transitional phase...Let's be optimistic that the day would come when a journalist maintains total freedom and professionalism.

Tell me please!!!

Can anyone tell me (in brief--since I must consider the time constraint) what LOKTANTRA is?

Is it the same definition that Abraham Lincoln coined or it is something the other way round? I am confused! Should I be optimistic and wait for your kind consideration or should I give up?

You might be wondering as whay this "nepalimind" is trying to ransack his brainbox just for the sake of loktantra. Because, reasons are many, which could even hurt you or some others like you.

Wait for the right time so that I can make my mind open to say what I am trying to tell you. Nothing to worry about. Have patience...and the world is YOURS!!!

Blogging with a difference! Can I handle it?

When I was quite a young boy, this world was only an open air theater for me. I did not know what was life and my role to play in it. I kept on pondering what the world was. What was life all about!!!

Now that I am a grown up person with not so high ambitions. My ambitions in life...(still unclear)!!! Even if I mention here, I am sure it goes unnoticed.

Now, my only concern is about blogging. I often keep on irritating my intelligent friends here...throwing arrows of queries on blogging. I ask them what is all about blogging. Who is a blogger? What we get by blogging? Who blogs? What is meant by blogging? Is blogging a blogging?

My intellegent, smart but yet sluggish friends then boast of being great bloggers and start explaining to me about blogging. "You know...blogging means this..blogging means that...!"

NONSENSE!!!

Now that I too have joined you guys. Wait and see how I come to you. See whether I would be able to make a difference since I have entered into the blogging arena with a difference because "It's all about making a difference!"
