Real Heroes

Yesterday morning at around 9 o'clock , I was watching a program on NDTV news channel. It was a program organised to pay homage to our brave soldiers, commandos, policemen who lost their lives while fighting terror attack in Mumbai on 26/11. This program was so touching that it brought tears in my eyes. For the first time after many years, I saw the glory of our unsung heroes. Generally, in almost all channels, we get to see glorified images of politicians, bollywood actors and actresses and other high profile beaurocrats who have hardly contributed anything to the society. The same holds true of cricketers. Our real heroes are those ordinary people who are not scared to lay down their lives for the sake of the country. There are many other heroes who are selflessly serving the communities without any support from the government. We need to bring them into limelight. They should be made role model of our kids and not Bollywood actors and actresses as is prevalent now a days .Our T.V channels who are busing increasing their TRP through sensational news of murder, rape, vulgar dances, obscene comedies, Reality shows, meaningless saas bahu soap operas should instead focus on good work done by our unsung heroes. There appears to be a positive impact of mumbai terror attack in the sense that at least for few days, our channels stopped showing the usual dirty and useless programs. I only pray to God that after few days, when fear of terror strike subsides , these channels don't refert back to showing same old silly programs. Successful launch of Chandrayan 1 moon mission sometime in October this year was a landmark in the history of Indian space science. This news should have come as a headline in front page of Times of India on the next day of launch, but I was shocked to find some other news occupying the main headline instead. What a pity. When do we learn to appreciate good work done by the real heroes of our country.
