I would not call them psecs. I detect a kind of apathy in the younger generation {that is a generalization, I agree}. Everybody just wants to come up in life in their chosen area of interest. Have a good time. Lives are more dictated by the 'modern' capitalistic thinking. Also I consider it is because of the rise of 'individualism' and the resulting focus on things that satisfy an individual. And to add to the masala, there is dilution of knowledge about OUR traditions and history. So all thinking is strongly influence by Western thinking.

Sorry for the off topic ramblings. <b>But the problem I face is 'nobody seems to be interested in knowing such things'</b>. I see this indifference right in my own younger cousins - all with a 4+ year degree in professional education and earning far far better than what their parents earned.

And thanks for all your pointers, if I have further questions I will come back.
