Hi folks!

Sorry friends, couldn't blog for a long time - partly work-pressure, partly lethargy. Anyway, am back again. Was having a discussion the other day. Some friends were of the opinion that the Indian society is deteriorating in view of the advent of Western culture. I was taking a contrary view. According to me, whatever is happening is for good. A bout of demolition of old attitudes is necessary for a major change in social psyche to occur. Just remember the transformation of a rather ugly caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly - metamorphosis is not only a part but a prerequisite of life. In fact life is change.
So the apparent erosion of medieval values is to a substantial extent the result of an attrition between the stretching new skin of civilization and the straight-jacket outer coating of existing social norms. It is welcome to me at least.
... and about the new generation - let them commit mistakes. The intuitive obstinacy of youth is often wiser than the preconceived ethic-structure of age. This is no war cry, but a silent revolution is already on, for a more vibrant and fuller Indian society. A society harbouring care for each other and strangers and one which respects individual liberty as much as social responsibilities.
