But i watched this yo...Not related to your article. But i watched this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2EWZmjiXd8 on not watching TV. Thanks for enlightening me on this issue and for this "Dasoham" to you. . I belong to a generation of Indian kids back in the early 80s and 90s. We did not have TV. Radio ruled the roost during those days. I remember we used to get some tooth powder, cleaning powder ads thats it. We lived on the edge of what was then forest land in the temple town of madurai. Our lives were woven around temple festivals local sports and a big gang of friends, cricket matches with rustic bats and balls, forest streams and fruits. But now our children cannot do without the latest TV shows, bollywood star wardrobes, smart phones etc. I have left my hometown and work in Bangalore were the pressure to conform to a certain standard are even more. For us birthdays meant visit to temples, getting blessings of our elders, drinking lovely payasam made by mom etc. Now schools encourage gifting expensive things to other students and they must do a return gift. What a sea change in india in just 35 years. In India we have had cable TV for like 25 years or so and if this is the effect it has on our children, what to tell of the West that has been having it for 60-70 years.
