The Indian society that lives in fantasy

So when I look at the Indian society, what do I see? A society that has the dubious distinction of hypocrisy and double standards, a society that lives in fantasy and does not accept ground realities. Indian society it seems suffers from cognitive dissonance.

Just look around and what do we observe: unhappiness and grief amongst our people. We are a sad lot. The society is forcing its people in believing that they should live for the present by taking loans and EMI's. Careers are chosen and jobs are taken up based on pure fantasy. Even the search for a life partner is based on pure fantasy. No one is practical. Pragmatism, it seems has become a detested word.

So when I choose pragmatism, the society calls me a cynic. i don't care because there is no point arguing with fools and cynics who are drunk on fantasy.
