What are you exposed to

You are born in India.
You watch serials,movies and listen to songs.
There is growing unrest amongst the youth, what they want to achieve, what they study, what they know and what they can do, how much they want to earn and what they will do with the money.

You are Indian but there are lot of moments when you loathe Indian people. You want to be like the Shahrukh in Swades, the Aamir in Rang De Basanti. You hate corruption, you hate poverty, you hate brain drain and you want to control population explosion.

Our need, our role and action plan is always distorted. I know that we have scarcity of water. But we may not know who needs it the most, who is wasting it, who cares for it like you or more than you and what you can do about it. The only thing you may know about your wish is that 'You know the world will experience growing water scarcity over the years and SOMETHING is got to be done.' The intention is noble, but unless someone capitalises on it, it is as futile as the news articles for the guy who sells groundnuts wrapped in the same paper.
