Indian role models
We Indians have a heavy dose of admiration and fan-culture that we make normal events as not to be missed extraordinary events. We admire cricketers, cine stars, politicians more intensely and passionately than they deserve. In India we are not having any role models in the scientists, writers, intellectuals, poets, artistes, ideologists, doctors, lawyers and the like from other fields and professions.

So all our
admiration and appreciation is heaped on entertainers. We are doing too
much when a star or cricketer entertains us much. This sort of
idol-worship at the cost of individual esteem is not good for the
nation. The individuals can admire but not go to the extent of becoming
an eccentric fan.
We as Individuals are also equal to these entertainers. Let us become also great scientists, writers, poets, artistes, ideologists so that we become role models. Just entertainers need not and must not get admiration and following at the cost of our personality. Let us also celebrate us by our achievements.
It is only individuals who make a nation proud and bring name to professions. Let us shine in our professions and be a role model to our youngsters. Entertaining celebrities can not enlighten. For enlightenment let us not depend on commercial spiritual workers for enlightenment. Let us make self-study of spirituality and depend more on our intuition.
Let us not convert ordinary persons into demi-gods. Divinity is a much more profound phenomenon. Let us stop the entertainers where they must be.
Let us learn to admire ourselves.

What is beauty?
Lies in the eyes;

What is duty?

What is responsibility?
Tells the discretion;

What is love?
Informs the heart;

What is happiness?
Varies from individual to individual

Marriage is a taboo for many modern individuals; and not so living together as friends or live-in partners. Individuals as spouse are avoided; The economical, legal and commonsense aspects of living out of wed-lock are ignored. But money rules all things and any relationship. Love and such dear words are mere romantic notions. Aging laughs at illusions and makes one grieve for ages for any child-like behavior.
