India the Land of Plenty

India is truly the Land Of Plenty:


- Plenty of Opportunity
- Plenty of Lovely Places
- Plenty of Construction
- Plenty of People
- Plenty of Congestion
- Plenty of Power Cuts and Water Shortages
- Plenty of Pollution
- Plenty of thrash all over the place
- Plenty of men pissing on the streets
- Plenty of Poverty
- Plenty of Slums
- Plenty of people crapping behind the scenes

The standard of living of the rich and the middle class keeps improving, while the Quality of Life for all urban dwellers has deteriorated due to pollution and congestion. The plight of the poor has become worse because the cost of survival has increased. As a result the Gap between the Have's and Have Nots continues to increase at an alarming rate. Poverty is in your face in the cities and not so obviuos is rural India. Violence is on the rise with miltants having access to sophisticated arms.

It is unconscionable, immoral and unethical for the Haves to ignore the Have Nots. The Have's cannot continue to grab scarce resources at the expense of the Poor. It is no longer acceptable to see working class people sleeping on the streets and huddled in slums. Hand outs is not the answer. Government, business and the municipalities have to work together in providing affordable solutions that these "outcasts" can pay for and acquire to improve their Quality of Life.

Que sera Sera...whatever will be, will be. The future is not ours to see, Que sera, sera. What will be, will be.
