EFFECT OF TV WATCHING ON CHILDREN :Everybody love to watch TV, including

children. Children spend more time to watch TV than doing anything else. Within a week they
can watch TV about 170 hours. Because watch TV is not so bored like reading book. And they
also can absorb many information from TV that is not derived from other media. But on the other
side, there are many TV program that give bad influent to the children. Increasing obesity and
ruining their eyes are the bad impact of watching TV for children. The first is increasing obesity.
Research shows that children who often watch TV will snacking between meals, and eating
foods that are advertised on TV and also tend to influence their parents to buy these foods.
Besides that sitting for hours in front of the TV screen will make the body do not move and
reduce the metabolism, so fat stacked, not burned and eventually lead to obesity. And the
second is ruining their eyes. Television emits blue light that also produced by the sun. But it's
blue light is not same as ultraviolet light. Blue light did not make the eyes automatically blink.
So, the blue light goes straight into retina without filter anymore. The wavelength of light
produced is 400-500nm and hence, potentially triggering the formation of free radicals and
injuring the photochemistry in the retina of children's eyes. Ten years later when the children
were adults, the damage caused by blue light looks very clear. Retina of the eye is no longer as
healthy as childhood so the function ability become decreased. Therefore, watching TV is not so
good for children. They must reduce their time to watch TV and parents are the one who can
help them to avoid it. So that, the bad impacts of watching TV such as increasing obesity and
ruining eyes will not occur in children. Invite them to fill leisure time with more beneficial
activities such as going to the library which provide good benefits for children.

Cricket in India is becoming an obstacle in the progress of other sports. Television, com
mercialization and the advertising world have promoted cricket to an extent that it has
become a Mount Everest, which is badly affecting other sports in the country. An equal
exposure is not given to all sports in the country. New comers in cricket sport get name
& fame in a short span. But its not happen with other sports players.

Many budding players in sports like shooting, lifting, hockey etc. cannot continue their
passion due to lack of governmental aid provided to them at International level which is
not the case with cricket. Scarcity of stadiums, playgrounds and poor sports system in
schools colleges also pull down interest of people in other sports.
Huge crowd pack the cricket stadium when there is a India-Pakistan match, to boost
the morale of their country but where does this morale boosting brigade disappear
when sportsmen of other than cricketers need them.
We do have Sania Mirza, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupati bringing laurels to the
country in the field of tennis; a Vishwanathan Anand in the field of chess. In hockey we
have great legends like Balbir singh, Pargat Singh, Surjit Singh, Ashok Kumar, Ajit Pal
Singh, who conquered hockey cup in 1975.They all play hard to bring pride and glory to
our country just as cricketers. It was a time when hockey commentary delivered by
commentator Jasdev Singh holds the breath of nations listeners. That sensational wave
sound has now vanished from radio sets and stadiums. Other games like chess, tennis,
and hockey are craving for true status as cricket game.
Cricket is not our national game, but it is celebrated as a festival. It has been used as a
bridge between two nations. Our countrys politics also get active with these sports.
Players of international fame and caliber in other sports are not given the proper media
support and attention as well as proper facilities for further development. Media hype
and money involvement in cricket game are the main culprits for cricket ruling the
roost, to the detriment of other sports in India.
Paradoxically our country is still struggling hard to form a good football team. Day by
bay Indian football is losing the little charm it had gained. Recently JCT club has
decided to disband and fold off its team. It was not very shocking news as even
Mahindra United decided to discontinue its football team last year. Same happens with
our national game hockey. There was a time when India did win the Hockey World Cup
in 1975 and people showed a keen interest in the sport, but not so anymore. The sport
has died a natural death from lack of leadership and sponsorship.
If this cricket mania continues, India can never do well in the Olympics for years to
come. Hence there is a great need to reform the administration, infrastructure, training
and facilities given to players of other sports than cricket so that they can shine more
brightly with their stunning performances. Other sports have the full right to move up
the pecking order.
I think, it is not justified to think cricket as a national obsession. It is the one game
through which we Indians are able to hold our heads high. We won two world cups and
have been on top in tests for two odd years. Whatever it has brought is quite
appreciable. In other sports as well, like Abhinav bindra winning gold medal in
Olympics, Indian hockey team winning 8 gold medals in past, etc are also highly
appreciated. But it is also a fact that it happened when TVs and internet are on full
bloom. But, in 1983, when India won the world cup, the TVs were just becoming
popular. Still, cricket fever was high on everyones head. That made it more popular
than any other sport. Every Indian wants to play cricket in streets. It is in Indian blood
and no media is required for cricket. Cricket is, and will be the most popular sport in
India although I hope other sports also will do well.

Even I don't think that cricket have hurt any other sports. If cricket is more interesting,
full of excitement, inculcating a nation patriotism feeling, then it is not the "SPORT'S"
fault. I think it is just because cricket has a very interesting format and that is why it
has become so popular and loved by all. It is followed as a religion and the cricketers
are worshiped as God in our country. But also the fame that cricket has given to India,
cannot be ignored. As far as other sports are concerned, they have not lost their
importance. Whether it is tennis, badminton or hockey they are still very popular. But
yes, it is a fact that cricket is more popular and followed by more people.
