It was 21st June 2015, was 1st International Yoga Day, it was a great feat for India that the world agreed to celebrate this day as "International Yoga Day" which means several countries have recognized yoga, even countries like China and several Arab nation voted for this at UN.
The day arrived, I being a yoga enthusiastic person and my wife being a Yoga instructor, were delighted, had organised events in our apartment and other places nearby, there was good number of participants attending the event, thus spreading the benefits of Yoga to all.
Its not just in India, people around the world celebrated this day, was very keen to know how other countries celebrated this day, I switched on prime news channel to see what was happening, but it was so demoralizing, there were news and debates that govt. points raised were

Its not just in India, people around the world celebrated this day, was very keen to know how other countries celebrated this day, I switched on prime news channel to see what was happening, but it was so demoralizing, there were news and debates that govt. points raised were
- Govt. is forcing people to wake up at 5am to do yoga.
- Forcing minorities to do Yoga
- Not allowing people to have peaceful sleep on a weekend
- Making it mandatory for students to attend the event.
I failed to under stand, why media is so anti yoga, doesn't practicing yoga regularly help improving one's health.
After watching these news channels, I went to bed feeling as if I did a big mistake, have hurt several people by celebrating International Yoga Day.
Is it true, on ground nope that's not the case, its the way the media turn things around and present it to all, many people have actually appreciated it.
So didn't want to go to bed with all those sad / bad / violence news and loose my peace of mind with so much negative in the world, so have stopped watching news on TV.
So bye bye NDTV, CNN-IBN.
