Tragedy of urbanization in 20th & 21st century. Mahatma Gandhi once said " There is ENOUGH on this PLANET for everyones NEED but not for everyones GREED". Unfotunatley winds on this planet blow from west to east literally & figuratively.Indians for sometime now have been engulfed in the flames of materialsm and engrossed at copying what ever they see on the color screen in their living rooms or whatever west throws at them. Copying without scrutiny always leads to disastourous consequences...you can try it yourself or may be you have already experienced it!! You mentioned about Sri Krishna in one of your blogs; you can have online access to his commentry "http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/". What he conveyed will be ever relevant. Do visit "Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan" at Chowpaty or Marine Drive; you will get very good books on everything Indian at a very reasonable price.
