Transitions...

Living in the modern day India at the age of 25, I do feel that our lifestyle has changed like never before.

Who envisioned the fact that we would be the second largest telecommunication network containing 584 million mobile phone connections with forecasted growth rates of 26% YoY in just about 20 years after the first non-commercial mobile service began in New Delhi….

Starting from naught some 20 years back and with growth rates of 8 – 10%, the number of homes that have access to cable television in India is close to 70 million. That’s about the population of the Islamic Republic of Iran, one of the more populous countries in the Middle-East.

The facts and figures are very similar and astonishing for Usage of Internet in India, Fuel Consumption, Carbon Emissions, number of Passenger and Commercial Vehicles, etc.

The above fact do re-affirm that we as a country are economically growing leaps and bounds….

The examples of transitions is very evident in the cities of India wherein relationships are different and complicated than probably our parents would have seen. Live-In relationships, Break-Ups, Divorces, etc is not something that is alien to us. One could say its towards the better as people are uncompromising now unlike yester years, or one could say its towards the worse as we’re losing the culture that had held us all through the years of the existence of our civilization. Only certain thing is that that we cannot refuse change!!

I sometimes get amazed by the magnitude of changed that has happened to me intrinsically, and this might be the case with many of us. This makes me question my fundamentals at times.

However, I guess this is the holistic dilemma that each person in every generation faces and we have to accept the transition.
