Music, language, lifestyle and Standard of living

India, is emerging as a nation that is beyond par in all the fields. All fields, means all good, bad, beautiful and ugly, as tycoonic excellence or as farmer suicides. We have transcended all boundaries in all the fields. 

        But does it not ask for a wake up call, for a call that insists that, being originally excellent is much better than being average in others' fields. 

        We in India have been bestowed with a culture, that has a vivid and admirable expanse in the fields of communicating the soul, by way of music, and language. Sanskrit, the classical heritage of Indian Culture, is till date considered the most elaborate language among te various languages of the world. We Indians are shying off from this language, and the people from Germany and Japan, now are stressing on studying the language in detail. The Germans feel that they can design better Technical intricasies in Sanskrit than in English, and the Japanese, are very keen to know what the Indian Epics have to say about the learnings of that period. And we, are more inclined on speaking English. We might not stress on speaking in clear and complete hindi, but english! please..... we want us and our surrounding to be impeccable in the same. 

        Same goes for the music. In India we have such a great plethora of Musical variety and quality. Indian(Core) music uses maximum variety of instruments, and the loveliest of sounds are generated while playing music. But, how many of us give it an eye of concern, that we have a Musical History. We are more engrossed in being infatuated towards the octopad and jazz music culture. Now-a-days, a boy in grads, will not like to learn flute (eew... what a thought), but guitar, yes all would love to be a guitarist, an octopad player, and a mouth organ player. Now who shall we hold responsible for such a strange and rueful grieviance. 

        Perhaps ourselves, because it is we who initiate these.....

We need to refabricate our own priorities, and choose what will make us a better intellectual, rather than a better westernized citizen. Being a better intellectual person will give us long term and deep peace. But, being fascinated by, and insipidly collating with the other's traits, will give us momentary satisfaction. then phew...! you look for another reason to be flaunting on.
