I don't see many in my peers or in those in my age group +/- 5 years with the true values that Prof Vaidyanathan says. <br /><br />We are BIG savers. <br /><br />* And, we spend - on buying toxic things that are cheap. Our saving mentality makes us gulp down the numerous pesticides as well as feed them to our kids. <br /><br />* We buy gold - but put them away in safes. Hardly wear them. <br /><br />* We go to temple and get Prasad - and eat well - and still put 1Rupee coin in the Hundi. <br /><br />* We can fake medical bills. We can go hand in hand with enormous medical bills since "insurance hai na". <br /><br />* We are a thriving economy - all on the principles of "making money" - that has never been the true spirit of this nation.<br /><br />* We cannot tolerate Athithis. We don't encourage begging! We can buy that expensive worthless gift for our kid for the lack of time we give him<br /><br />* We are hard working though. We work long hours with hardly any time for our family. We will send our child to daycare and compensate for him not having siblings.<br /><br />* We are two people earning. We have the big loan to repay. And, we want to save every paisa so that in future we can live happily - present moment is lost though.<br /><br />* We earn well but well, we cannot think of school/college fees and hence probably better not have kids<br /><br />* We want to give our kid a wholesome education - exactly like what Mr.Sharma is doing. Same school and fees - and ideology I donno I never thought about it. <br /><br />* We are afraid of bringing up a generation of our values - we are afraid that he will be a misfit if we keep bombarding with some strong things in which we are different.<br /><br />* We easily substitute it for values of the "herd"<br /><br />I don't want to be jingoistic here really. The reality of current India (Indians) is sad. We are diverted and deviated from those innate spiritual traditions. We are torn from our inner soul.<br /><br />The mass Indian middle-class or urban middle class NEEDS HELP - NEEDS REVIVAL.appalam vadaamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719211310330160453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-83097171382518452102011-10-16T20:49:23.950+05:302011-10-16T20:49:23.950+05:30anytime no mention! :)anytime no mention! :)srinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442641835825653080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-6170361270928972742011-10-15T09:44:42.675+05:302011-10-15T09:44:42.675+05:30Brilliant and incisive, as usual!

Stock market/ Gold bonds participation by public is still minimal. Our agricultural economy/ Simple living style/hardwork has also seen Indians surviving in India or anywhere in the world.<br /><br />while West & Europe have been primarily trading & posing wealth on Asian stocks be it agri, petro/mineral products and on their boosted US & Euro currencies for international trade. Wrong fundamentals, False pride coupled with lack of family systems have taken a beat on their economy.<br /><br />SheelaSheelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058145061281478167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-17278730098379979032011-10-12T15:14:50.861+05:302011-10-12T15:14:50.861+05:30Thanks for the link.

Both these gentle men have propounded this theory of family backed economy and perhaps they are best suited for a Nobel if they could work on this more.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-9689850626889189102011-10-12T14:20:55.265+05:302011-10-12T14:20:55.265+05:30After reading this post, I'm reminded of the T...After reading this post, I'm reminded of the TED talk given by Mr. S.
