Development - synonym to basic needs

Yes! There have been recent developments. "Development" for me means an upgrade or an uplift as one may call it. I am sure you'd want to know more about it. I guess the word development itself gives a state of feeling which shows a positive approach. Well, the answer is Yes, again.

For people who live in a typical "Indian" family, Roti, Kapda aur Makan is the ultimate target. "I need a job with a five figure salary in my account every 1st. I wish to buy some good pair of jeans." What else Roti & Kapada is done. I remember one dialouge from the film Lagaan,"Khaney ko routi nahi houga, pehen-ne ko kpre nahi hoga" meaning" You won't have bread to eat and you won't have clothes to wear".  And the people revolt in the movie and win by scoring in the cricket match. Ah! and makaan.. As the property rates go high and high it becomes unrealistic for a common man to dream about a house. But guess what, that's not all true.

In recent past, I've encountered a different species of human race. They don't know what ROTI, KAPDA or MAKAAN is... For them their life is all about their passion and interest in what they do. Infact their passion has taken a form of FOOD, CLOTHES and HOUSE. Sounds so stereotype... I wonder why.
