Middle Wanabe turned into more than blah!

Today, would like to extend a strong applause to everybody who came from middle class families. So many dreams, sacrifices our parents, grandparents have had for us, so that our generation could be a step ahead of where they were. In my view, we all have been survivors! Survivors who stood by each other when; cash was low & aspirations bigger, absence of muscle led head strong determination, smaller dreams led by bigger ideas! These middle class families have produced stalwarts like Lata Mangeshkar, Sachin Tendulkar, APJ Kalam, Manmohan Singh, Gandhiji, ShakRukh Khan, Narayan Murthy, just to name a few from every walk of life. We have seen it all, the long lines for school admissions, the tensions to get through engineering/medical, & then to make it big in the corporate world. Communism was the thing of 50/60s, rock n roll of 70s & being middle class has been fashionable ever since I guess. Today, in Asia (India, China, Japan), Europe, US middle class forms a society, which is most influential in contributing toward economics, academics, entertainment or technology. Do the limited resources & lack of complacency fueled by a strong desire to make it bigger with every generation help the middle class achieve their dream? Most inspiring is when we see people like Narayan Murthy promote a modest life style when he can afford any luxury known.

I don’t say it is a handicap to be born with a silver spoon in mouth, it might be an entirely enticing life out there which I am not aware of & don’t miss it either. Yeah, glamour is a whole new concept as well, but it’s so damn glamorous to don success without being glamorous!
However, although trying not to sound pompous, although our nose in air, feet are firmly grounded on the earth!
