IDENTITY

Land, Water, Language & Culture are 4 things that defines every individual. Go to any human being on earth and attack any of the 4 things he retaliates. Its exactly the same situation that is happening to Karnataka & Tamil Nadu. Both states are very possessive about these 4 dimensions. What happens when any one of them is attacked by either of the states. Its mayhem, with every political party out to get some cheap mileage out of this. The amateurs are getting maximum mileage out of this issue. The question is why??? That is because directly or indirectly your identity is based on these four dimensions. Losing any small part of any one of these dimensions will get a really violent side of yours out. When we go somewhere they ask where are you from? Our identity is based on land here. Once we start talking about this we tell them that we are from such and such a place which has this language this creates our identity. So in other words our identity is being attacked, when this happens nobody would want to be quiet and they fight back. These are touche issues I dont understand why the politicians use them for their gain.......

Youth at the age of 71

If an individual at the age of 71 is called to represent the youth of India, what should happen to the actual youth. Its said the median age of India lies between 26 and 28 and about 30% of India is below the age of 15. Look at it whatever way you want but India is young!!!!! The youngistan ad we see on TV for Pepsi was created exactly for the same reason. IPL was created because the Gen X which consists of the youth of India asked for something that should be explosive. The average age of investors in the stock market is 31. About 80% of the investors in the stock market lies between 25 & 40 age group. Well economists are people who rely only on data. Why this gyaan????? Here is the answer Dr. Manmohan Singh is an economist and also the Honourable Prime Minister of India, inspite of all this data freely available for him he has gone ahead and inducted a minister who is 71 years old and accorded him with the Youth Affairs portfolio!!!!!!!! God save us.
