Hello.
Thanks for your response. I find other cultures fascinating. The game I play the most is civilization 4.
It sounds like you greatly admire their culture/way of life. You mentioned, and I quote " It's also changing very fast, with a vastly growing, western-influenced, educated middle class." Aren't you afraid that this western influence will change it?
I can appreciate the ideal that you mentioned where everyone isn't in competition with everyone else. That is one of the very things I hate most about western culture. Everybody has heard of the phrase, "Keeping up with the Joneses." If no one had an I-pod, you wouldn't care that you didn't either. You can't miss what no one's got. It leads to a very simpler life, less hectic, less stressful.
I'm afraid that the massive crowds of people in India would stress me out more than the simpler lifestyle would de-stress it.
I don't think happiness is a destination to arrive at, it's a mode of travel. I like to look for the little pleasures. Like talking to you fine folk.
I hope you achieve your hearts desire. ;D
