"My condolences to her family in this hour of grief. May her soul rest in peace. Om Shanti," he tweeted.

Old but gold tools of communication

In the era of digital technology every thing is at one's fingertip. A child is spoon fed with cartoons, games, obscene songs, videos etc. Adults are engaged in social media so much that it has become more personal and less social. Everything has become short. Mobile is the supreme means of communication with unparalleled alternatives for entertainment. However one should not forget the first emergence of wireless communication.

          Radio as a means of communication is still relevant in this time. 'Are you ready' was the first message sent by Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio in 1897. From then onward radio has become one of the most effective tools of communication. 

          First radio broadcasting in India was experimental; Bombay, Madras were three private ventures in 1923 and 1924.

          

બેરોજગાર પ્રેમી

હું તને તું money ચાહે
એમાં વળી આ મોંઘવારી નડે,
આ વેલેન્ટાઈન ડે તને ડાયમંડ બનાવી આપુ
પણ જોને આ સુરતની હીરા મંદી નડે,
તું કહે ફરવા લઈ જાઓ
પણ પેટ્રોલ ડીઝલ ક્યાં પરવડે?
ચાલને કરકસર વાળું જીવન જીવીએ
પણ આજ ગાંધીને કોણ ગણે?

Communication

Communication is a process of transferring ideas, thoughts, opinions from one person to another. The word 'communication' is derived from the Latin word 'communicare' or 'communico', both of which mean 'to maker common'.
          Different scholars have tried to define it. Claude Shannon writes it as one mind affecting another. This leads us to believe that Shannon sees communication as a process of the civilized. But let us not forget that even when humans were homo sapiens they had a limited system of communication with a little scope. 
        Communication thus is no privilege of well civilized human     society but essential to the cycle of nature.
          Oxford Dictionary defines communication as the transfer or conveying of meaning. To broaden the definition the transfer should not confuse or mislead. Further the desired objective must be fulfilled. Miscommunication could create misunderstanding.
          Charles Osgood takes communication as a system. 'One system influences another' he defined. For example, when a prime minister appeals to the people to act on some issues such as prevention of plastics, he/she is trying to improve the existing system of plastic disposal.
          For Wilber Schramm communication is a mechanism through which human relations exist and develop. Simply put it talks about the interdependence of humans. The evolved society has many layers of every day dealings such as public services, jobs, education, entertainment etc. Correct communication can help build a faithful bond among people which is extremely important for the growth of good relationship.
          Now in the most simple terms ' communication is a process of sharing or exchange of ideas, information, knowledge, attitude or feeling among two or more persons through certain signs and symbols. Another simple definitions is sharing of experiences on the basis of commonness.
          Further more communication is the way we connect to other people. Failure to express properly has led to many a conflict. Westely and Maclean say that communication does not start when a person starts to talk but rather when there is a selective response from the opposite person.
                                       

મારે તે ગામ રે એક વાર આવજો

One of the best રેંટીયો

Confident Line

Let Me See

Let me see 
costly those clouds: 
Unavailable here 
Up on the grounds. 
Come from far 
To rest upon the mounds; 
Tired of the journey 
Become so sound! 
Soft as lily 
In blue-big pond; 
White as milk 
In bottomless bowl. 
Riddling and puzzuling 
Painting slow rounds, 
Turning then into 
Mushrooms on the mounds.

આવી દુનિયા

આવી દુનિયા આવી દુનિયા
ખાડાની દુનિયા પાડાની દુનિયા
ડોરા વારા બાડાની દુનિયા
મોઢું ધોતા ડોલ ઢોરે
ને પશી ગામ આખે ફરતાં ઢોઢીયાની દુનિયા
વિકો, બબુલ, કોલગેટ ને હવે પતંજલિ
તોય દાંતમાં દુખતા પેઢાની દુનિયા.
આવી દુનિયા આવી દુનિયા
લાંબા લાંબા પુલની દુનિયા
નીચે બનતા ચબૂતરાની દુનિયા
બે'ની વચ્ચે બેઠા કબુતરાની દુનિયા
આવી દુનિયા આવી દુનિયા.
નેનો ને ટાટાની દુનિયા
મોંઘા થાતાં બાટાની દુનિયા
એડમિશન હારુ આંટાની દુનિયા
આવી દુનિયા આવી દુનિયા.
