Kids - Performing animals??

--- Comparing children working in advertisements, serials and reality shows to “performing animals”, women and child development minister Renuka Chowdhury said her ministry has decided to set up a five-member committee to look into the working conditions of these children.
“These children are almost like performing animals but at least there are certain guidelines for animals while there are no working conditions defined for these children,” Ms Chaudhury said on the occasion of World Day Against Child Labour. The minister said there are no guidelines to define the number of hours for these children and there are no provisions for them getting nutritious food while they are working ---

Of late, many TV channels in India started exploiting the young talent. I was wondering whenever I happened to watch the shows involving children, why these kids have to undergo vigorous practice to perform dance to the movie tunes, games, advertisements, reality shows. Children of age between 3 to 10 become targets for the so called ‘cReaTive heaDs’.

There is absolutely no need for the kids to be performing in these shows, without proper sleep and nutritious food. Childhood is meant for play creatively, learn new things, study and relax after school. Parents should take note of it and shun from indulging their kids in the shows.

This is a good move by the Ministry and sure the TV channels should introspect, does the entertainment media need necessarily exploit children to do the shows and advertisements!

Places around..

Bunjy Jump over North Sea at the Hague (Holland)

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa at Louvre Museum in Paris (France)

Royal Palace at Brussels (Belgium)

Actor Mary Tyler Moore at Minneapolis (USA)

Manufacturers at work in groups at Toronto (Canada)

It all started with Holland (also known as Netherlands) as my first overseas travel in 2005 to a city called Utrecht via Amsterdam. Holland is a small country and very cold land with 4 major cities - Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. My third visit to this country was to The Hague, where International Court of Justice located. These visits include trips to Paris (France) and Brussels (Belgium) as well.

Many are crazy about United States. It happened for me to travel US to Minneapolis in Minnesota State. A cool and good place, not corwded, very decent people around..

Toronto in Canada is another place to visit in peak winter.. compared to Holland, Toronto is terrible in winter season.. snow storm forces many to be indoors throught.. sunlight appears very rarely..
