Today's editon in the Dawn newspaper Javed Naqvi wrote about GNH. Gross National happiness. I have not been to Bhutan but I hear that the GNH in there is pretty high. Must be.
Television came there just a few years ago. And till then what were they doing ? probably watching the Moon creating ghostly figures on the Himalayas. whatever makes you happy!

I remember ,as a child, how intrigued I was with the Star trek serial that I would give up playing cricket to watch it on sundays. and before that I would play cricket on sundays ! My Ma was definitely happy that I was home on sundays instead of picking up a fight elsewhere. GHH (Gross Home Happiness) was higher with the arrival of the TV.
Today children don't play anymore. They watch the saas bahu serial. Theres no Star Trek any more. The more "Firangi" parents have encouraged their kids to watch 'zee cafe' cause it airs "Friends". Kids don't go out of home anymore and the GHH should be even higher !

But Alas ! these kids talk a lingo thats out of my preception. and they have become fatter.
What happens if theres a war between China and India or pakistan and India ? No one is going to defend our country cause we will have a GNH higher than that of Bhutan that we will not bother to go to the front. After all we are racing every one! we beat the Pakistanis in their consumerism and we will beat the Chinese in their achivement of the fastest train and Bhutan in their GNH!
