If T.S Eliot’s “PRUFROCK” measured his life by counting his sips of coffee cups, the modern youth in India measures his life by standing in queues, jostling and pushing in buses and finally by removing his gray hair from his head. His problems are social, economic and psycho-emotive but there is none around who can share his sad and solitary existence.

There is a general tendency with the school authorities is to prescribe more and more books for various types of study to the young students. Everyone comments adversely on the sight of school-going boys and girls carrying loads of books on their backs and their backs usually bent by the loads. How can we expect to expedite the process of gaining knowledge by prescribing lots of books for study with no time for these children for any recreation or entertainment?

Some people are suspicious by nature. They invite unhappiness by their old habits and wrong ethical standards. They suffer from persecution mania. They attribute their failures and disappointments not to their own limitations by to the machinations of their enemies. Their work does not receive adequate recognition and they suspect that a conspiracy is hatched somewhere to deprive them of their rights. They turn cynics and atheists by their grievances however, sight they are.

Often there have been times that Rahul Dravid has been described as a WALL who has been a savior for the country in a number of occasions. But the country does not want the wall so strong so as to withstand all the shock waves created by the Australian Bowlers during the first cricket test. There is an advertisement on T.V. for a cement company which everybody has seen which I would now try to describe in a few short lines :

There are two real brothers standing on either side of a cemented wall dividing their house into two halves.

If children are brought up in a congenial atmosphere at home ,in schools and in a society, a great deal can be done to relieve misery and mitigate suffering and unhappiness. Our aim should be to produce citizens who can join with their fellow-men to create a happy race, to make this world a decent place to live in and to establish homes where wedded love and parental affection, combined with judicious care, discipline and training in co-operation give children the right to start in life.

The extent to which corruption has flourished in India is quite alarming but it seems that it has achieved an unconscious sanction from the public at large.The public apathy towards the menace of corruption has crossed the dimensions of ethics to this extent that the money and muscle power rules the roost. It is a well known fact that the bulk of politicians go to the Assembly and Parliament or become Ministers at centre and in the states with a view to making money. The exceptions are a few and they seldom get elected for simply they don’t have the means to reach the corridors of power. Corruption mainly depends upon an individual’s inner conscious to accept gratification. No wonder that the independent India is a fertile ground of corruption.
