mass exhodus

ask any village student what does he want to become . i was surprised to know that almost nobody wanted to become a farmer or to continue his forefather's profession in the village. 
India is a country of agriculture and more than 70% of the area of land is used for agriculture. this nonchalance towards agriculture of the new generation is alarming and surprising. 
go to the agriculture education institutes and ask students what are their career goals . the answers may again surprise you . most of them want a job in a agri- related company.


most of the rich business houses have purchased lands in thousand acres and now are planning for the real estates . the surroundings of the metro cities show you the examples of these.  


we are still dependant on the natural factors for the good crops. 
we are now purchasing the GMO treated seeds . the seeds process and market is in the hands of the foreign companies or collaborated companies. 
we are not opening any new research centers for agriculture. frankly ask yourself how many news you read this year about innovation or new technology in the agriculture in the paper or electronic media. 


in a vast country where most people are farmers . we hardly learn anything about agriculture and its happening till our schooling. 
if there are any changes in the methods of farming , its by the active farmers own inclination . we are not doing anything to propagate a planned agriculture promotion and development. 


well probably that is the reason why the village has a mass exhodus towards metro cities .

The mismatch of developments

The development so far in human history was comprised and contoured by the chance. Most of the developments were sudden like eureka type. and we opened a new way out of that discovery. Now it has been so many ways its almost a network web of new ways crossing the old ones from everywhichwhere. Development and New has become too much to understand at one go and it has become too much for a life time of a human. its become an unknown jungle to find which way or which direction is suitable. There are so many guides and mantors on each way to suggest and convince that their this way is the best , the only way.
But where do we want to reach. what exactly is the OBJECTIVE.
when we learned to control a horse we thought we are heroes. there are so many prose and proetry to praise horse control and horse riding. we are now in the age of space visits and horse riding schools are still going on.
we have started travelling by jets and planes. The bullock carts are still running.
The mobiles have raided the world like an alien attack in a famous movie but the basic telephones still ringing. And the old post office boxes are still dropped the letters and mails in.
.....>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and so on.>>>>>>>>
The same elements of two exist here.
The new world
the old world.
the world is changing every moment . So we are generating (or who is?) the new worlds every moment and old worlds also every moment because when a new world is created it automatically creates a old world. So every moment we are creating a new world and an old world. It seems like a point on a line which is trying to go from the zero to the infinite. And the point is crossed by infinite lines with different angles from the earlier line.
Where are we ?
Now zoom out and concentrate on a big picture. its a world wide web . changing every moment.
