Quote of the Day

Kashmir has a place more to  Central  Asia  than to  South Asia, owing to i  ts  heavenly  ties with the area as  far  as   society, conventions, religion, and so forth, said Professor Gregory Gleason, chief  of  the  Central   Asia    program  at  the  George C. Marshall European Center, upon his landing in Srinagar at some point back. 

"To be completely forthright, when I touched base in Kashmir, I quickly perceived the sort of related association with the Central Asian Countries. There are social peculiarities and qualities in Kashmir that help me all that much to remember nations we've generally viewed as the Central Asian nations," Marshall adds.

Experience and Skills

It has a role to play in personal development

Rising Kashmir

When one considers the experience and skills that one learns and has most affect in his/her personal capacity building and development, the most striking are those that have taught people something new and helped them to develop a greater insight into (their)self. People have had a few intellectual experiences that have taught them important things but there is always some or I should say one experience, that perhaps more than any other, has allowed people to learn new things and develop an interest in their career goals.

Social Media

Redefining news coverage from East to West

By: Kashoo Tawseef
Rising Kashmir, Mar 15: Stuart Allan and others write in the book, ‘Citizen Journalism’ that in the global perspective, media has passed through a change. Consumers can now choose either the traditional media with its many limitations, or the new media which offers unimagined access. The new media refers to what we call the social media, now seen in tools like: 

Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, blogging et cetera.

Visualisation of Text

Text besides being the combination of alphabets to make a word or a sentence or a paragraph or an essay, has its own meaning and that symbolises the visualisation of the text and such visualisation is out of the box meaning, this photo essay is an effort in that regard.

Use of New media as a News(gathering) Tool

By: Kashoo Tawseef

In the words of Allan, (eds.) in his book, Citizen journalism: global perspective, media has passed through a change where the consumers have choice of information to access to either to the traditional media with so many limitations or to the new media with easy access and adds that “the new-media model is horizontal, with the consumer of the information in the middle of a flow of information seemingly, the equal of every other bit.” The new media has positive effect on the way the recent events were covered in print and electronic media related to Middle-East in general and in South Asia in particular, in 2011 during Egypt uprising as compared to five years ago in Lebanon war in 2006.

Nature and Natures Beauty...

By: Kashoo Tawseef

When one looks at the beauty of the nature, it has many stories to tell. We need to go into the depth of each of its components, and analyse and ponder upon them carefully. Each component has an answer to many of our unanswered questions in this life. This photo essay is an attempt to analyse and find such answers to those unanswered questions as Albert Einstein, summarises this argument in one beautiful line, "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
