The world around us

We live in bizzare times where fellow human  beings ensconce in their own worlds insensitive and blind to the world at large. Very few seem perturbed by the injustices and the insults proliferating with increased vigour day by day. Unfortunately our education system stopped addressing such sensitive issues and instead focuses only on job oriented training. The era of erudite and responsible parenhood is also nearing an end. The present breed of parents are ill-equipped to impart any sort of values or morals to their wards except the bleak concepts of making and hoarding money. The debacle of  almost all 'isms' (except hedonism!), absence of 'true' leaders/gurus, non-inspiring and corrupt politicians, and a new world order without any 'jolts or shocks' paved the foundation of this Gen X making them blase' and self indulgent.


    Where is the space for developement of a conscientious individual in these circumstances?
 
Today excercise is given only for bloating one's ego resulting in individuals rich in wordly matters but all the poorer in soul and mind. Acquisition of wealth has got unprecedented attention forcing even the uninitiated to take the rat race. Aquisition of professional degrees also meet a similar fate as the interest is only in adding an 'elegant' prefix and more number of suffix. Enrollment in prestigious clubs and groups happens with the least commitment to the society focusing only on image/ego and contact building (barring a few exceptions).

How can we address this malady and try infuse some conscientious thoughts to callus minds? 

Bonhomie attempts to address such issues that plague today's world, harnessing like minded people to rally for a better world and a conscientious living. I welcome all the on-the-verge-of-extinct good souls to join arms for making it happen. WELCOME TO SHYAM'S BONHOMIE!
