Today, we as in general public get news and date-to-day information from diverse sources be it the visual media or the print media or the Internet. However the one lacunae that is observed in all these mediums is that sometimes these outlets publish information that tend to obscure the actual fact or highlight a particular line of thinking.

Being the Fourth pillar of a vibrant democracy, media has a very huge responsibility in dispersing information in an “as is” manner independent of external factor.  An effective media can increase public awareness in all aspect of governance be it positive or negative.  A informed mass can hold their elected representative accountable for all the actions and deeds.

Having said this, we also see  that in these days of rapid competetion, the news that is beamed or printed and published are not as honest and independent as once thought. There were days when people beleived that the news they see or read is genuine and formed opinions based on it. However, in the present scenario,  the media has lost that level of confidence and one should think Rationally before forming his opinion and that is what we have set out to achieve.

Our motto is simple “Imbibe Rational Thinking” in our readers on some of the current issues that we all see around. We hope our endeavour will help you in that direction.

What does “Think Rational” mean?

Rational thinking refers to logical or reasoning being involved in the thought process. It refers to providing reasons or rational behind thoughts or ideas. It adds an element of calculation and planning to a steam of thoughts rather then basing them on emotion or personal opinion. It is a kind of objective process of thinking and an analytic approach to any problem. Rational thinking is based on reasons or facts and is hence much more calculating and realistic. All people are capable of thinking rationally, but people will tend to cloud this ability because of emotions or prejudices.
