OLD IS NOT GOLD THE AFFAIRS OF LIFE IS GOVERNED BY PHILOSOPHY, AN ETHICAL CODE OF CONDUCT AND MAN MADE INSTITUTIONS , PHYSICAL PRODUCTS (GOODS & SERVICES ) AND A SETOF PRACTICES ,TRADITIONS. OUT OF THEM PHILOSOPHY /ETHICS IS UNIVERSAL AND ETERNAL TRUTHS .VED VYAS , VALMIKI ,CHANAKYA, VEDAS,GITA ,RAMAYAN ,MAHABHARAT ,PURANS HAVE SPOKEN THE LAST WORD .THE HAVE PLANTED EVER GREEN FOREST OF KALPTARU WHICH IS BEYOND AGING .SO THERE IS NO QUESTION OF THEM GETTING OLD . NEXT TO THEM IS MAN MADE THINGS .THEY HAVE BEEN BUILT ,DEVELOPED FOR A SET OF OBJECTIVES AT A GIVEN POINT OF TIME .AS TIME PASSES ENVIRONMENT CHANGES AND THEY GET OLD ,BECOME OBSOLETE .THEY NEED TO BE DISCARDED AND RENEWED .TO BE IN TUNE WITH THE TIME HAS ETHICAL , SOCIAL AND LEGAL SANCTION . IN THIS RESPECT OUR RATE OF CHANGE IS NOT ENOUGH .WE SEEM TO BE CONFUSED WITH OLD AND NEW VALUES .THE FACT IS THERE IS ONLY ONE VALUE THAT DELIVERS SATISFACTION TO US .THIS IS THE AGE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY . A DIGITAL AGE .WE ARE ENJOYING ITS CONTRIBUTION IN n-WAYS.WE NEED TO VALUE IT , PROMOTE IT WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION .YES WE ARE ALSO EXPECTED NOT TO MISUSE IT . LET US FIND ONE PRODUCT , ONE INSTITUTION ,ONE PRACTICE OF PAST WHICH IN ANY WAY IS SUPERIOR TO THE PRESENT ONE .I DON’T GET ANY . WE HAVE NOW TO INVEST IN DEVELOPING THE PRESENT ONE TO A BETTER ONE FOR GEN-X .THIS IS OUR DUTY ,AN OBLIGATION ,A PRICE WE ARE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THE EASE WITH WHICH WE LIVE. BYE –BYE TO OBSOLETE ,INVALID NOTION “ OLD IS GOLD “ OUR CHILDREN ARE ENTITLED TO BRAND NEW , LATEST MODEL OF PRODUCTS , INSTITUTIONS AND PRACTICES BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF RATIONALITY ,CAUSE AND EFFECT AND COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS .
