Some may feel people who advocate in the name of culture are old-fashioned and they need to move-on while other may embrace the old-culture with pride. <br />To comment on culture is really difficult.Sahana Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313761460595189822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354043635434017521.post-62527776571956345202012-05-22T17:22:07.389+05:302012-05-22T17:22:07.389+05:30@Red: That is a lovely comment, and yes I complete...@Red: That is a lovely comment, and yes I completely agree on it. People would love to follow the Indian culture, but then they are scared they would be considered an outsider among the crowd!

We might be calling our country the one with culture and morals and society which is based on values passed down through generations, but we ourselves are insecure abt it. We dont want to be called a villager and we flaunt our open mindedness like its something huge.Red Handedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062645716811851771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354043635434017521.post-72989401328545404682012-05-21T21:25:15.514+05:302012-05-21T21:25:15.514+05:30@Sonia: Thank you :)@Sonia: Thank you :)Writing Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333799489599973639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354043635434017521.post-6792905637568729752012-05-21T21:25:02.418+05:302012-05-21T21:25:02.418+05:30@Shreya: I have a feeling my children too would be...@Shreya: I have a feeling my children too would be waiting for that proverb to become a reality.

But I do feel that whatever one chooses to follow does define their values. It is because a person believes in something that s/he tend to follow that. If not it would just be the 'following the crowd' walk, don't you think?Writing Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03333799489599973639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1354043635434017521.post-27370113137720800362012-05-21T05:03:34.000+05:302012-05-21T05:03:34.000+05:30Wow.

Even though there are certain blurry areas. But in saying that there's a mix of both. Like, I really respect elders and try not to backtalk. Stuff like that. I think culture is just what people choose to follow, and it shouldn't go defining people's values and beliefs :)Zeebshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314978676158888498noreply@blogger.com
