India as a country has been picking up and drawing the attention of global community for all the good and bad reasons. As one sector looks at us with awe and admiration for the sheer capacity we exhibit another looks at us with pity. But amidst all the chaos this multi-billion people country has been burgeoning and swiftly moving like a gazelle. In this blog I want to delve into some of the exaggerated sectors and dig a little on what could be truth behind them. I am sure I would have to keep writing pages if I have to make justice to this premise. My I would just draw a line and leave the reader to ponder over the rest.
Stock Market:
As any economy expands disproportionately it will require a lot of intervention to solve the dis-ease that is bound to appear at the lower levels. But what will be more remarkable is the growth of the industrial sector and the corporate sector around the boom. During such booming times the hype that is created in the stock market is very very tepid and whirlpool-ish. Remember always that production is true while paper money (created through stocks and shares) is always false.
Media:
One of the important pillars of any democracy is the media. A democracy will be considered matured only if the media is allowed to play a free and fair role is showcasing a very transparent and true picture of the democracy to the world. But freedom is not free :D and truly so the media has to also understand its freedom and act responsibly. I was recently disturbed to listen to a debate where it was disclosed that more of 70% of the news telecasted by media in India is paid news. And I will surely suspect the credibility of the media and not trust them, to re-verify them before broadcast. The hype that the media creates is very dangerous and again whirlpool-ish.
Cricket (Sport):
And why should I look for another hyped sector while the IPL is running just in front of me as I am penning my thoughts down :D. The hype that this sport that drawn is quite ridiculous and has kept the central body ICC lip locked. While all other sports in this country are starved and under performing, the cricket team is always in limelight again for good and bad reasons. The winter Olympics that happened in Canada recently saw 3 Indians walk with the flag in opening ceremony and much to our shame all the three were not financed by the government to participate in Olympics! :(
As I close down due to my principle of showing restraint (of not writing more than one page) :D , I want to remind you that this country has more reasons to be worried than to celebrate. And just like the country every family including yours and mine have more reasons to retrospect than celebrate. Its time to get responsible and its time to play things down than hype things which are passing. Otherwise one day each one of us will getting encircled into a whirlpool of remorse.
