Imagine a person who took part in the recent airport strikes. Now lets say his son is being employed in one of the most popular industries made possible by new economy and earning a handsome salary. If someone told that person that his protest is equivalent to taking the job away from his son, would he say? - 'I dont care'. I doubt so. If he really doesnt care, why the fight ? I find it rather ironic to write because these words will never get across to that person, as he is lost in the old economy.
Someone please tell him: 'Time for change, move on...... Look for the good things and not what are supposedly wrong (as per him).'

Greeks, Scythians, Parthians, Kushans, Huns, Arabs, Mongols, Turks, Muslims, Portugese, French, English, all went after one civilisation: India and prospered. It lost everything except its soul (spirituality). It will regain its true place in this world and its Sun will rise again. -Aggyatt Manav
