I think the days of Introspection and creative thinking are now over,  -in the modern 'Electronic  Universe ' .
My expeience informs me that  8o percent of modern social mind , both urban  and rural, is swallowed up by modern Electronic Divices like Cellphone  ,DVD, I-Phone along with  TV etc. The  News paper or Radio are, now , even down-graded.
 People , now, have less time to think for themselves ; while 80 % of their waking -hours  are filled up with injected  and synthetic  'news-game'  and Commercial Entertaining world throgh Media  Magic .

Simple   Questions :

 Mr. X . Chakravorty, the  Cloth-Merchant a  High cast  Brahmin ??

While  a Medical student  (1949---'55 ), I learnt that  Syphilis is a 'ROYAL  Disease' and a gift of Western Civilisation.

Today in  21st Century , it  is  said that kissing  is another social bad -habit practised openly and Globally  [introduced by  Western world ] and  big  cause of so many contact  diseases, including AIDS.

Then,---  now it is told that  even Hand-shakes of  'advanced West'  are dangerous source for viral  spread and medical Science advocates  'Elbow-greeting ' instead of hand -shake - civility.

What great revelations of Western gifts !

Really, in any crowd or gathering only 5 to 10 percent or less are real  appreciator of the  subject of talk or 'show' while  rest of the visitors or mass or only packing effects or 'filling the gaps'.

Name , fame  and  popularity are , really , synthetic  soap-buble (inflated /plastic)  soceo-psychic  Industrial  and marketable  products  like  tranquilisers or  profitable  commodities ,-in modern civilisation.
