FOMO & Fabrication of Truth
The Past, the Present and Future for India
We are living in a world of FOMO. The fear of missing out on opportunities, friends, relationships and instant success. We all want to cash out on all the opportunities that can lead us to the Bucket of gold on the other side of the rainbow.
Have you ever wondered, were things always like this? Did humans always have this desire to have everything at once or is this a new age problem that we need to deal with.
The Past
To those born after Independence, the goal was survival and leading a normal life without taking undue risks & unexpected surprises. Getting a good education, having a government job with a nice loving family was a dream for many and people felt arrived when their life provided these things to them.
A lot has changed for people who were born after Economic Liberalization of India in 1991.
Many people parked their money into things like Land and Gold (in form of Jewellery). People seldom traded into volatile things like stocks, bonds or commodities. But as India opened up to foreign investments, things started to change.
