Where does it stand compared to other cities in the country? Let's be realistic and not compare it to a Delhi or a Bangalore. But, is it fair that the capital of a State lacks a PVR (read High Definition, Awesome sound, and better picture quality wala theatre) or a McDonalds (I dont think I need to explain this) whereas a certain city in UP (read Al-ahaa-bad) has all of it (well,they're having a PVR soon)? What are the authorities doing in Orissa, one may ask..?
Well..instead of complaining, one must see the growth taking place in the city. Nobody would have dreamt of a Pantaloons or a Spencers at this place, some 5 yrs ago...or FM to be here, some 3years ago.
BBSR is growing, no doubt. But..is the pace at which it is growing appropriate?
There goes a quote, Be the change you want to see. But, it's easier said than done. Going out of state for studies or a career, and complaining about the happenings back here is not what should be supported. If somebody wants change, then they need to come and make the change happen. Else it's not justified for those people to criticize or comment on the people and standard of living here.
Its a very delicate issue as its personal to everyone. People need to go out to study, else how would the updated wisdom from the great centres of learning and universities diffuse through our society. I support u in the argument that every other person is expecting the other to perform his duties, while honourably neglecting his own. This needs to be change. Look change is gonna happen, the only thing is whether its for good or for bad.
ReplyDeleteAs of now, it's for the good. But..there are shades of gray for everything. Let's hope the good changes happen more, and overshadow the bad changes. :-)
ReplyDeleteI sometime wonder what exactly is the meaning of development?
ReplyDeleteHaving a McDonalds?
Having a awesome sound, high quality picture wala theater?
Colleges? Companies?
Industries???
What exactly are we aming to achieve & at the cots of what?
