As I have said in my previous post I don't want to go personal so I will be stopping the story of my misfortune here and carry on with actual topic. The reason I mentioned the particular tragedy is that I want you to be aware of circumstances and events that might have made my view point more cynical than they actually are.
If Iam in my senses I guess today is my 56thday in India ,Hyderabad to be precise and I guess I had a lenghthy enough stay to have my opinion on metamorphosis of my city,people,country..etc
As I mentioned earlier I been out of india for say like nearly 5 years . All these while I been hearing about things back home ,IT Boom, Continental Cuisenes , Multiplexes,European cars..ufff uffff enough ohhhh we did made progress by leaps or did we.....?????
I guess I will run out of the my fingers if I start counting the big tragedies or the issues which were arising every day(Bihar Floods,Karnataka Conversions, Delhi BombBlasts) and pity that picture wasn't this bad when I left the country, and what surprises me the most is nothing stops anyone living their life (I guess not many Options there) inspite of the everything .
On one hand some of my fellow countrymen are driving foriegn cars and trying hard to inject themsleves the firangee(1st world) culture,on the otherhand few are killing themsleves on the name of religion conversions ,ghosh !!!!whats wrong here...? why so much of disparity in not only wealth but also in common social ethics..???
As every day passes by I hardly could find any quality in anything around me( don't get me wrong Iam not talking about hygeine or that sort of stuff ...Iam very well aware I belong to this soil and these are all my people and would not fault them for what they are....because that is what Iam as well). what I meant here is there is no soul be it in Television channels(News Particularly) ,Movies or way of life (of Everyone from Rickshaw puller to Software engineer, some of the might be getting easy bucks,but at what cost!!!! I reckon they are forgetting themselves once they are in to this race or game.
I read(I assume most of it) an article from old news paper ( Ironically it was a wrapper for peanuts) it was written by then L&T's MD ( cant remember his name),accusing Indian IT companies for making India technically braindead .The point in it was paying these astronomical salaries for just passed out graduates and even undergraduates, which has resulted in decrease in number of students pursuing technical disciplines other than IT, which in turn has caused skill shortage in other technical ares. The most striking observation out of that article was that " All this development we are seeing is a glossy wrapper around food which is being contaminated".
(GuysI can go on on and on...and prove my slef to be a pathetic pascimist .There is lot I want to write( Delhi Blasts,Bihar floods, Karnataka and Orissa. violence.....But this post seems to be never Ending...If there are any enhacements will post them )
There is nothing wrong, for a country to have Issues and problems and infact how a country deals with those issues will scale strength in its System .
I personally feel India is a bubble waiting to burst, Its alright to have absolute capitalist economy
for country with medium size budget so in hour of crisis its treasury can feed its people. But I doubt if India will be able to manage that, Its well and good as long as these educated youth are pushed in to this race....but once picture starts to color itself red ( i.e if things start to get bad...they will ,As 100 crore populated country is living by serving merely 32 crore once 32 crore cannot afford services or dont need services thats when ....) they will question system( which till now was priviliged ..as most were not Knowledgable and those who were couldnt be bothered) and the frustrations will burst....
Hope Iam wrong my friends...... No one wants to burn their house..but I can smell Kerosine all around mine
