Message From Editor’s Desk

Assistant Professor
MERI MIRROR
The Department of Journalism
and Mass Communication puts a
strong emphasis on training students
with professional skills in order to
meet the demands of a media world
that is both evolving and changing
constantly. Adequate attention is
paid by qualified faculty members
with industrial experience in audio
video, film/documentary production
and mobile journalism. Our Department
has prepared the students to
extend their professional services in
major media houses in the near
future with a number of media
disciplines including print, electronic,
photography, etc. I am
fully confident that this department
having imparted qualitative
theoretical and professional education
will attain more heights
of success infuture. Our Department
shall strive to achieve academic
excellence, lighting the
Management Education and Research
Institute torch high and
bright.
A journalist’s peculiar function is to
reach the mind of the country and to give
definite and fearless expression to the mind.
Mahatma Gandhi Journalism is what keeps
check-and-balance on the democratic
practices of a government. It maintains
the democracy in a country and roots for
progressive social changes. Journalism is
the wall that prevents totalitarian rule. In
an ideal world, journalism should do all of
these, but we do not live in an ideal world
neither do our journalists. In recent times,
we are witnessing the downfall of our
journalistic practices. It pains me to see the
deteriorating condition of our mainstream
media. To counter this, we need another
form of journalistic practice that can keep
check-and-balance on our main- stream
journalism. Some people say that citizen
journalism is an option. But, we cannot
trust citizen journalism as much as we
used to trust mainstream journalism.
Citizen journalism is like citizen
doctor, we will never trust a doctor who
is practicing without training and degree,
then how can we trust a journalist who
does not have any idea of what are the
responsibilities journalist has to fulfill and
what are the ethical procedures he /she
has to follow before writing any article or
breaking a story. But, we cannot discard
the idea of citizen journalism completely.
The need for citizen journalism came into
existence because of the mainstream media’s
lack of accountability. If you want mouthpiece
of the government and forgotten its roles and
responsibilities. We are in dire need of an option
that can give voice to the voiceless and practice
healthy journalism. I know, I am hoping for
something that isn’t going to happen soon, but
what can I say, I am an optimist who wants to
live in an ideal world where every member of
society practices their duty with utmost honesty.
I wish the students of MERI (Management
Education and Research Institute) the best of
luck for their future endeavors and wish to see
them contributing to the betterment of society.

Music a friend in every Problem
MERI MIRROR
Physical and Mental health go hand
in hand
By - Mohit Kumar
BAJMC/Sem - 4th
Everybody loves music.
Many people feel that
music makes life worth
living. We can hear music on
CDs, Radio, and Television,
today’s generation have online
platformslike YouTube, Spotify,
and many other sources
to hear music. Music gives us
pleasure, it can cheer us up, excite
us, or call us. Music can be
of various types Happy, sad, romantic,
pop even sleepy. Music,
like language, is a uniquely human
form of communication.
People listen to jazz, rock, classical,
folk, country, and many
other kinds of music. Music has
always been important to religious
ceremonies. Thus, music
is necessary for all of us.
You can’t just listen to music
once and that’s it. Music is
a friend and a companion.It has
an extraordinary influence over
various things, like letting you
recall that pleasant incident that
happened to you years ago. It’s
an awesome thing, and that’s
why music is regarded as a
friend.
Everyone wants a buddy,
and music is that friend. It can
cheer you up when you’re down
and calm you down when life
gets too crazy. It remains by
your side in both good and bad
times and never abandons you.
Music can help you get through
difficult moments since it can
relate to what you are feeling.
When is music useful, if
you ask?
To muffle the sound of
Screaming parents, noisy
housemates, other music, or
general noise that isn’t wantedWhite
noise or other calming
noises can be useful in these
circumstances because music
can distract the mind and steal
focus in a variety of ways.
Music is seen as a friend
since it is the most ideal and universal
form of expression and it
crosses linguistic, cultural, and
religious boundaries. You can
choose music that will change
your mood or listen to music
that complements it.There is
something to listen to every
day of one’s life, regardless of
mood, circumstance, or place,
thanks to the wide variety of
musical forms and interpretations.

“All work and no play
make Jack a dull boy.”
You’ve probably heard before,
that participating in physical
activities can significantly
affect your mental health. According
to the stats published
by, The Faculty of Sport and
Exercise Medicine, UK, a 20-
30% reduction in depression in
adults who participate in physical
activity other than their
daily chores is evident. Limited
research proves that teens and
adults who participate in physical
sports have reduced levels
of anxiety and distress and are
less likely to develop dementia
in the older stages of their lives.
When our body engages
in physical acts, endorphins
are released in our brains
which trigger a positive and
energizing feeling in the body.
Although research is still ongoing,
scientists have found
out that higher endorphin levels
help reduce symptoms of
stress, anxiety, and depression,
improve mood, and accompany
a euphoric outlook on life.
Exercising is a well-known
method for its mood-boosting
effects and role in decreasing
the risks of developing
certain conditions, such as
moodiness, troubled sleep,
addiction, and depression.
The spirit of sports is
teamwork and companionship,
thus contributing to an active
social life, communication
skills, and better social relationships.
The benefits of social
connections are linked to
our mental health. Improved
confidence, higher self-esteem,
ability to trust, and greater
empathy, are motivated when
we have a group of people.
Every aspect of life is
equally important, be it physical,
social, mental, or financial.
In this internet age, the
physical aspect is where people
are most lacking. Who
would want to move around
and get things done themselves
when everything is just a click
away? Despite the psychological
and social benefits of
sports, there are only a handful
of people who realize the
benefits it brings to the table.

The Playground we Miss
MERI MIRROR
Abstract Art and How People
Perceive Differently
By - Ansh Nagpal
BAJMC/Sem - 4th
We always face many
consequences regarding,
making
our body physically noticeable.
Since we are evolving
into Virtuality or in an Online
World, We Somewhere
skipped our living lifestyle. It
was a time when we as kids
eagerly waited to move out
into the Playgrounds, making
ourselves dirty to the fullest,
it was a time when we used to
fight for a bat n Ball or badminton
rackets, the wait, that clock
ticking, that hype for every 6
pm, friends waiting, that fight
before the game starts and after
few hour’s we were ready
to get scolded by our Parents
for playing so long.
But now, the time has
changed, we don’t compare
our bats, we now compare
who’s mobile phone is good
to play, we don’t fight for who
gets to play first, we fight for
the Phone’s charger. Our Parents
still Scream at us but to
move out and play. We grew up
and lost our childhood in that
playground and in that classroom,
our dusty bat and ball
and broken strings of a badminton
racket kept aside for
years and years which no one
wants to play with. That Small
Screen had destroyed the mental
well-being and capacity to
grow physically and snatched
away all the Physical Strength
and Ability to work more.
Although online platforms
have their benefit it had
also have a negative upshot to
them. A few hours of physical
workouts or games would
lead to great results for a living
body and will save you from
health-related problems. If
build ourselves knowing the
hardships around us, we can
create a positive environment
that will benefit others too, and
in my Sense, I think
“If you carry your childhood
with you, you never become
older”.

S
trictly speaking, the word
abstract means to withdraw
something from
something else, so adding this
term to art is defined to simplify
the visual, figures, and
landscape. Abstract art does
not consist of defined visuals
but is a mixture of simplified
visuals, colors, and strokes.
This art uses geometric shapes
and gestural marks which have
no external source or external
visual reality. According
to some artists abstract art is
pure and not always a distinctive
visual required to glow
out creativity or art. Abstract
art mainly shows order, purity,
simplicity, and spirituality.
This concept of abstract art
was mainly invented by the
Greek philosopher Plato who
said that random geometric
shapes, lines, and strokes are
used to describe art, purity,
and love, not always concrete
visuals. Talking of how people
perceive abstract art says that
it shows real-world people in a
simple form of art, seeing the
real world, real nature, and surroundings.
The uniqueness of
abstract art makes it more interesting
that simple lines and
strokes can just influence people’s
thinking and perception.

BAJMC/Sem - 4th
Due to the freestyle type of
drawing this artwork is given
huge freedom and a vast area
to explore the artwork in their
way and study in depth what
the art says and how the artist
depicted its work in form of
just simple strokes. The visuals
of this art are self-explanatory
to putting that up to words that
how people perceive abstract
art can be difficult but the way
people perceive it highlights
their psychological personality.
Abstract art needs a lot
of cognitive training and the
final results of how a person
can perceive simple strokes
and lines can tell a lot about
that person. It may be meaningless
to a lot of people due
to the way it is made but some
things are better perceived
when having no concrete visuals
because having a concrete
visual will imprint the same
kind of perception to everyone
looking that that art but art like
these need cognitive work and
is consisted to vast meaning.

Healing Your Mind by Pottery And
Needle Work
By - Reet Kaur
BAJMC/Sem - 4th
Every one of us has experienced
situations where
we are unable to convey
our feelings. It occurs occasionally
with friends and family, occasionally
with a partner, and occasionally
just with ourselves. We
experience emotions we didn’t
know we were capable of. Life
becomes difficult when all these
unsaid feelings and thoughts pile
up over time. Each of us must find
a way to handle Art therapy aims
at helping people heal and come
to terms with their circumstances,
through art.
If you’re a creative person, art
therapy may also have a lot of
advantages for you. You’ll take
to art therapy naturally whether
you’re an artist, writer, painter,
interior designer, advertising
professional, marketer, or in any
other creative career because it
uses your creativity to promote
healing.We all have negative stereotypes
about our routines, physical
appearance, and conduct. Art
therapy helps us appreciate and be
kinder to ourselves by assisting us
in realising that who we are and
what we do don’t always have to
be perfect, assisting in the healing
of years of harsh indoctrination
As a result of doctors observing
that people with mental illness
frequently expressed themselves
in drawings and other artworks,
many began to investigate the use
of art as a therapeutic technique.
Since then, art has developed
into an important component of
recovery. There are many simple
activities you can try from the
comfort of your home such as
art journaling, sketching, making
collages, sculpting with clay,
etc. It doesn’t matter what media
you choose. The only thing that
matters is that you feel comfortable
using it Emotional release:
The greatest benefit of art therapy
is giving you a healthy outlet
for expressing and letting go all
your feelings and fears. Complex
emotions such as sadness or anger
sometimes cannot be expressed
with words. When you are unable
to express yourself, but you desire
emotional release, making art
may help you to do it.
Stress relief: Fighting anxiety,
depression or emotional trauma
can be very stressful for you both
mentally and physically. Creating
art can be used to relieve stress
and relax your mind and body.
VOL - 3 || Issue - 7 Art, a way of Mental piece / 11
When we are feeling
stressed, we can
easily throw that
stress from our minds and
can get peace. Do you know
how it is possible? Just by doing
the pottery as well as the
needlework. By doing this we
will not only master the wheel
and handle the needle but also,
will love it just by converging
into them. We can express ourselves
by doing this beautiful
artwork. When our eyes along
with our mind are directed in
the clay and the needlework,
we will get distracted from
our problems especially when
we are in distress. Whatever
we produce helps increase
a feeling of self-worth by doing
these magical artworks.
Pottery is an inimitably
powerful artistic path that can
serve as an intensely valuable
therapeutic modality for
people suffering from mental
health disorders. By merging
physical practice built around
the primal knowledge of touch
with emotional, creative engagement,
pottery can allow
us to awaken our spirit and
activate our natural flexibility.
Pottery provides a new, rich
12 / Art, a way of Mental piece
language to give voice to our
inner self through sculptural
form, allowing us to experiment
with physical media to
discover new paths of communication
with both others
and ourselves. Needlework is
increasingly becoming recognized
as an effective way
to combat depression. The
flow of doing this work helps
in calming the mind and reducing
stress. It is an act that
can release neurotransmitters

that promote joy and well-being
while also reducing stress
hormones, anxiety, brain
plasticity, and most important
strengthening eyesight.
Concluding, it is true
that if we practice the pottery
and the needlework, we will
surely self-discover ourselves
in mental and physical distress
on our healing journeys
at the potter’s wheel and the
eye of the needle with peace.

Idiosyncrasy of Money
MERI MIRROR
Impact on people of public art
By - Saurav Kumar
BAJMC/Sem - 4th
It is very much Vivid that
money is important for
everyone in today’s running
world. There is a famous
saying “Money is nothing
but Money is Everything”
this statement indicates many
things, the worth of money is
considered when one shouldn’t
afford his needs his favorite
product which his heart wants
to buy but his pocket won’t allow
it. Money does give access
to happiness that small paper
can build a dreamy mansion
but the matter of concern is, we
do learn the values, passion to
follow the dream, and tactics of
life, but we don’t have the skill
to earn money we don’t have
a particular classroom where
the psychology of money is to
be taught. The difference remains
the same between the
Poor and the Rich. The Wide
gap wouldn’t be covered when
normal middle-class people or
lower-middle-class people cannot
earn money. They kept on
doing the hard work but for-
get to do the Smart work. The
problem lies in the making and
designing of educational Structures
where the students only
learn the old things that old 5
main subjects which they have
to study and move ahead, but
that’s not how life works basic
knowledge is evident but life
wouldn’t rely only on those 5
subjects. The Basic value to
earn money should be taught
at a very young age when a
student started touching the
higher educational boundaries.
Our rules and norms are so
tight and composed a particular
growth can’t ensure his growth
and figure out his way whether
he wants to earn money in
this current world or grow following
his passion and live a
compassionate life. In the end,
medals and the wall of achievement
won’t decide what will be
your luxurious meal would but
the hardworking done in earning
money will do. Following
passion is good and should be
one of the priorities but earning
a good lively hood for own and
for the family is to be achieved
by one own self or a group of
people.

Art has power to connect
us with anything,
even with
ourselves. Public art can be
anything whether a building,
statue or a painting etc.
What differentiates a public
art with any other art is its
uniqueness of how it portrays
a strong emotion and
alive its surrounding environment.
It is basically

Individuals under the age
of 60 were observed performing
physical activities,
most of them interested
in dancing. Older adults also
begin to include physical limitations,
pre-existing medical
conditions, etc. Dance has
the potential to be a fun activity
that can be modified to
have a purpose for all people.
A Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews
(PRISMA) search was conducted
using the PubMed database,
eighteen studies met
the inclusion and exclusion
criteria and were outcome
for intervention type, study
design, demographics, and
outcomes. A survey that was
conducted in North America,
South America, Europe, and
Asia. When it was examined,
two reports focused on older
adults and pre-existing medical
conditions. Researchers
used a variety of measures to
assess effectiveness, and regardless
of style, these results
can significantly improve
muscle strength and endurance,
balance,
and other aspects
of functional
fitness
in older adults.
Many of
the researchers
will analyze
the effects
of dance
on mental
health and explore
ways to make the intervention
attractive to all age
groups of both sexes. Fortunately,
adding physical activity
to your life is an effective
method of prevention, control,
and mitigation. any medical
conditions. Studies have
shown that physical activity
has positive effects on depression,
anxiety, dementia,
heart failure, stroke, cognition,
and sleep. The harmful
effects of physical inactivity
and the positive effects of
physical activity suggest that
additional efforts are needed
to promote physical activity
with an emphasis on populations
at high risk of inactivity.
Physical inactivity is
commonly seen in individuals
aged 60 years and older.
Although many older adults
have positive attitudes toward
physical activity and
its benefits, factors such as
the person who recommends
physical activity, the older
adult’s environment, the
cost of activities, and safety
concerns influence their

Binge With MERI “Bholaa”
Binge With MERI
“Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar”
IMDB RATING:- 7.8/10
Story:- Bholaa is a 2023 Indian
Hindi-language action-adventure
film, directed by Ajay Devgn and
jointly produced by Ajay Devgn
FFilms, Reliance Entertainment,
T-Series Films and Dream
Warrior Pictures. It is a remake
By - Harshita Dutta
BAJMC/Sem - 2nd
of the 2019 Tamil film Kaithi and
stars Ajay Devgn in the titular
role alongside Tabu, Deepak
Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, Gajraj
Rao and Vineet Kumar while
Amala Paul, Abhishek Bachchan
and Raai Laxmi make special
appearances. The film follows
an ex-convict who battles
criminals while transporting a
truck full of poisoned cops to the
hospital in exchange for meeting
his daughter after ten years of
imprisonment.
Bholaa, by contrast, is mad
from the get-go. Ajay and his
writers (four in total) forfeit any
claim to restraint and then some
more. The film is too masala,
too eager to please; complete
with animals, item numbers and
balletic bike chases through the
night. At times, it resembles a
cross between Mad Max: Fury
Road and K.G.F., neither register
particularly suited for a lean,
emotional story like Kaithi.
After Bachchhan Paandey and
Vikram Vedha, this is another
Hindi remake that goes in for an
overthe-top treatment. It gives
Bholaa a distinct visual identity,
if not much suspense or edge.
The film screams out its
crowd-pleasing credentials, but
will this be enough? “These days,
movies do not work without a
story,” says a character in Kaithi.
The line isn’t repeated in Bholaa,
which is smart. Here is a film that
bets the entire farm on its frills.
IMDb rating - 6.7/10
Indian love comedy Tu Jhoothi
Main Makkaar was released in
2023 and was written by Rahul
Mody and Luv Ranjan. Ranbir
Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor
play the lead roles in this Luv
Films and T-Series Films production,
which also features Dimple
Kapadia and Anubhav Singh Bassi
in significant supporting parts.
Cast - The main roles were chosen
for Shraddha and Ranbir Kapoor,
marking their debut collaboration.
Boney Kapoor, who is making
his acting debut, and Dimple
Kapadia were cast as Ranbir’s
parents. Additionally, it was the
first Hindi film for actress Monica
Chaudhary and the debut of
stand-up comedian Anubhav
Singh Bassi in the acting world.
In January 2023, Hasleen Kaur
announced that she would be appearing
in the movie.
Plot - Aside from Monica Chaudhary,
who plays Kinchi, and her
friend Shraddha, who plays Tinni,
Ranbir plays Mickey, Dabbas,
a character played by Anubhav
Bassi, who is also engaged to
Monica. Along with their jobs,
the pair also serves as consultants,
offering significant sums
of money to assist individuals
in their romantic relationships.
Tinni comes from a line of certified
public accountants.
When the group travels
to another country for Dabbas’
bachelor party, Mickey falls in
love with Tinni. Tinni’s admission
that she won’t be staying
with Micky’s family following
the wedding, which initially results
in their unsatisfactory marriage,
turns things interesting. In
addition to Monica Chaudhary,

Hasleen Kaur, Boney Kapoor,
and Dimple Kapadia are included.
Performance - While Shraddha
performs a class act, Ranbir is
cool with his wonderful dialogue.
The debut of Anubhav Bassi is
astounding, and Dimple Kapadia
is a joy to see. Aajkal relationship
mein ghusna asaan hai, usmein se
nikalna mushkil is one of the best
lines Ranbir has ever delivered.
Rishta Jodna asaan hai todna
mushkil. Boney Kapoor and the
climax are the movie’s highlights.

“The Art of Peace begins with
you. Work on yourself and your
appointed task in the Art of
Peace. Everyone has a spirit that
can be refined, a body that can
be trained in some manner, a
suitable path to follow. You are
here for no other purpose
than to realize your
inner divinity and manifest
your inner enlightenment.
Foster peace in
your own life and then
apply the Art to all that
you encounter.
One does not need buildings,
money, power, or status
to practice the Art of Peace.
Heaven is right where you are
standing, and that is the place
to train.”
