What are we Upto Now??????

What are we Upto Now??

As a Nation, we are basking in the glory of our new found confidence, economic independence and technological accumen.

As a Society, we are evolving into a pseudo American, pro west, cultural hotch potch.

As an Individual, we are hanging between the fulfilment of our material desires and our spiritual interdependence.

As a Politician, we are trying to be democratic by being autocratic.

As a System, we are following a confusing approach to simplicity.

As an Indian, we are basking in the glory of our new found confidence, economic independence and technological accumen and all the time evolving into psedo american, pro western social beings trying to fulfill our material desires and pondering still on our spiritual interdependence, surving autocratically in a democratic state and living a complicated life in the most simplest of moments.

What are we Doing Now????

What r we upto now???
Good question....!!!
Probably u r right....we r the 'confused lot'...lolzz
Aping the west on one side.....while never getting tired of singing the glory of our civilazation n culture on the other.....
We r at the helm of spiritual discovery for over 5000 years now..but still probably not many of us would be able to recite a verse from upanishads.....
We r confused big time....probably if we could follow jst one line of thought, things would be much better n simpler for us....!!!

Nice...Thought-provoking article dude :-)

good..good..keep it up!!!!!!!!

Hmm...Nice post. Definitely needs a think or two. But I think we are confused because of the varying speeds and degrees at which we have to live...an economy which seems to be zooming ahead but a people who continue fighting for basic needs. Our politicians - the lesser said about them the better. And it is true what you point out, whenever possible, we go back to standing tall on the support of our aeons-old civilization. But what we forget to think and act towards is that the past cannot redeem our present and definitely not our future.
Good going!
