Need to change the views presented in the article
by manish jaiswal on Apr 17, 2006 09:44 AM

Below part of the article does not sound logical from any angle:
"Most also lead lives of boring rectitude. At the least, they maintain boring public personas. Indian billionaires are, individually and collectively, devoted to their respective spouses and families. Many are vegetarian teetotallers, with strong religious-spiritual convictions."
What does this mean, spending time with family and friends, being spiritual, vegetarian and teetotaler is boring.I think the author has some wrong perception for life, or he is promoting going to dance clubs and having drink as symbol of being modern or rich. I think being spiritual religious, vegetarian is what the greatness of Indian culture.
What author said is not his mistake but I think the culture in which today people and brought up shows that if you are not going to bars or not having drink, smoke or being spiritual will make you a backward or old society person. I think this is the time to teach the people and specially the coming generation that what is correct and not what is not.
If any one can convince what are the benefits of having drinks and going to bar, I would happy to hear and know what anyone who didnt go there.
