Though I am totally averse to these serials, my infrequent dandlings with them through trailers during cricket matches or other family members watching them reaffirm the mass stupidity that ails an average Indian household from 7 pm-11 pm. Your ideas are totally refreshing and I love your writing style. Look forward to more articles.

Always makes me feel as if the blog could have been a bit longer so I could read more.<br /><br />Our lives today have virtually no space to feel joy. We have so much of bitterness, anger, disappointment and sadness in our lives for our wins and losses that joy finds no space to wedge itself in.<br /><br />Our daily worldly struggle to win at any cost, to always be one up over the other, the feeling of anger and wanting to get back at our loved ones for that one moment when they did not give us our due (the list goes on ...) makes us blind to the small things in our lives that make this world and life worth living and feeling.<br /><br />I am not an exception to what I said above, hopefully we all will start letting joy into our lives ... starting with ourselves !mukerjichinmoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721602302386305494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679196456760356504.post-31700464709118034542013-06-06T06:43:01.641-07:002013-06-06T06:43:01.641-07:00I agree Ruchira...!

As Vishal Khera mentioned we grown ups in India need to start our education again on how to behave in a civilized society. Recently in a TOI article ( http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-01-08/goa/36215885_1_panaji-streets-sweep ) read about foreigners picking up brooms and cleaning Panaji streets. I hope and wish that we do the right things and pass on a legacy to our children that we and they will be proud of.

Another lens to look at this article I am reminded of a point of view that I discussed a few months ago that from time unknown to me in our surroundings we are so programmed to take a restrictive approach in all our decisions rather than an educative approach. e.g. let it be the government trying to get more out of taxes we add more clauses to ensure no one slips, traffic police adds speed breakers attempting to control traffic etc. <br />I think its time we start our education again in society, by learning and educating.Vishal Kherahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536016364393966636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679196456760356504.post-73768114080212366352012-02-13T09:46:49.978-08:002012-02-13T09:46:49.978-08:00change is the only constant thing,,,so new technol...change is the only constant thing,,,so new technology needs to be welcomed even if there is negative side to it...siddharthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679196456760356504.post-87922463751023680232011-09-26T06:52:25.963-07:002011-09-26T06:52:25.963-07:00:)i can relate with this...nice one.:)i can relate with this...nice one.sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455408081728005117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679196456760356504.post-57644502533453384412011-05-02T08:43:12.879-07:002011-05-02T08:43:12.879-07:00Thanks for the Editor's notes!They make it bet...Thanks for the Editor's notes!They make it better to read.
