Wat is it with us..u knoe....us indians?
Especially the 20 and 30 somethings. Ofcourse a self-righteous attitude is not what is expected.....
But somewhere this whole come close globalization has made matters chaotic and confusing.
We have our traditional ethos, our ever-supportive parents, our loyal set of friends on on end and on the other edge we have this gist to put ourselves on the top,to be on the cover .
So much has been spoken and written about the western ideas getting into our system. It gets quite complicated actually.
After having sounded very vague for the uninitiated now let me bullet my views.
-->Marraiges ..againg sub-divided into love and arranged..so many choices and just one to choose ..and for the next 50 years. How to trust? How to adjust? How to compromise? How to deal(generally)?
-->Career..MBA,IT biggies,Enterpreneurs,Modelling,Cooking classes..hikes,intra-office politics,Allen solley's trousers,buy a car...just randomly
Basically its this prsseure from parents,peers,teachers,colleagues,relatives which we have learnt to live since childhood,teenagehood,pre-marraige adult hood,post-marraige adulthood,early parenthood.
-->Politics (including Law and Order).. No fixed rules, no fixed bribing amounts,ST-SC and their envious reservations.
Well this is for the general 'public'. There are other categories too like
social issues
animal welfare
hashoholics
dowry deaths
across the border junta
feminism
The list could be appended further.
Anyway is this beacuse we have a 50 languages, a 50 castes,a 50 dances,50 cuisnies..Unity in diversity..
Also Insanity in diversity.
My next post will talk about How to feel better,look better and do better? Atleast it will not test my sanity quotient.

The great Indian secret is Unity in Diversity. No two Indians need be the same to be united!! Thr problem lies trying to be someone else. Be yourself, do what your heart compels. At the end, what is there to lose? Nothing, in this materialistic world is worth worrying about. Except for may be life. But once I die, I am sure I won't worry about death much either!!!
