We cannot rule out the participation of regional parties easily. In fact we might see their increasing dominance in the days to come, because local people tend to align themselves with local parties. Now, as citizens, we feel that our duty stops, once we elect a representative. We all scream at the top of our voices for our rights, but honestly how many of us do our duties as a citizen. How many of us firstly refrain and protest, when someone violates a traffic rule, breaks a no-smoking rule or does not follow basic rules. These simple basic things, I have seen, many don’t follow. There is apathy towards the general quality of life. I am not saying all of us should be super-humans, just that little, I think the political masters will get a lesson. Secondly, We need to tell the media, that we will not take things sitting, when they make biased reporting. How many of us send mails / letters to media, when an article is not agreeable to us. All these are small things. Imagine, when you see a program on the TV and are frustrated and you write a mail to them. Imagine if even 10,000 of us do it and do it regularly, whenever there is a program like that. The media will take note of it. Though they may have ulterior motives, their survival depends on the TRP ratings. While they may not change overnight, there will certainly b a gradual shift. This is my appeal to you all, to make your efforts towards, contributing to the society in a small way and to change the media.
