India, the people and economy is in a hurry
Lot of things changed in India. There is huge difference between now and 5 years ago. Almost every adult has a mobile phone. It is a good thing. Ofcourse yes.
Economy is in hurry. We have clocked more than 8% growth for more than 3 years now.
The educated youth have jobs. There a plethora of careers one can choose from. Mnay families have moved from survival to middle class to upper middle class in a short span of 5 years. Myself being a farmers son, is in the upper middle class.
My mother used to sell butter milk for 0.25 paisa per glass and has shown the way to get her son educated. She is now 83 and has the luxury to stay at home with her son. her son earns more than a lack per month now. What a difference in 20 years.
There are many families like that. If you see families in small towns, you will see that, almost every alternate houses has their son or daugther is in US, working.
What an amazing thing!.
However, the people of India seems to be more in a hurry rather than enjoy this newly acquired financial freedone. People are looking for short term successes. The young generation is more arrogant. They never will understand the value for money. They are more in spending more.
How can you say, India is in a hurry. I get lot of psychological stuff from analysing the traffic. Take any city, the traffic is in doldrums. Everyone is in a so much hurry, they want to get there as fast as possible. No one realizes, that it is not going to matter a lot, because you can atmost reach your detination 5 mins early or you get caught in another traffic snarl. People go in opposite directions to avoid a speed bump. They get killed. They ar ein hurry.
In a bridge there is no divider, you can see the attitude of people. Why men, women are more aggressive. They have to reach office or collect kids from school or get home early before her husband reaches or whatever many be the reaosn, they are in hurry.I do not see any patience. Every one seems to worrying about something. A contract worrying about labor. An office goer worrying about reaching in time. A school kids try to get to school. A newly wed anxious to get home. A house wife trying to collet water before they run of the tap. An insurance agent trying to reach multiple clients. oh.. everyone is in a hurry.
Oh people of India. There is no point. Enjoy the newly acquired financial freedone. Relfect upon your success. it is time to go slow.Now that, we have money to spend, focus on the social aspects. Oh India, the time has come to worry about social aspects. You may have a good bed, nice marbled house, but if you come out, you see filth. You come out you see drainage leaks trying to jump the puddles. suddenly you seem some one jooming past and your shirt got spoiled.
Oh India, the time has come to become a social person!.
India, Arise and Awake, the time has come!.
