No use

Earlier, people had the intentions to make things to meet needs. Needs were met and people were satisfied.

Now-a-days, the stress is on making money, without any heed to "needs", "satisfying" etc. Market is full of choices, but most things don't meet the needs.

It is not a buyer's market. It is sellers' market. When everyone sells, who will be satisfied? No one. The dissatisfaction level in the world is increasing.

The plot

Finally, I am also at it. They have already destroyed a lot of greenery and "developed" it into a barren land with markings, roads, lamp posts and water pipes. The roads will silently host meetings of hungry buyers and greedy sellers trying to outwit each other. Soon dogs start littering them. The lamps will light up empty roads, wasting a lot of electricity. Water pipes may never carry water before they rust. A forest, or a field, or just a green land housing flora and fauna is permanently displaced into their continually shrinking sanctuary. Some people make money out of this.

It is not completely true that I was led astray into the 'middle' of this. I had enough control to desist myself from becoming part of it, but lost it all, well, almost, now. I am yet to review, what led me to this helpless position.

The place is well beyond the city-limits. But, I am told, it is "Just 15 km from Electronics City." "Excellent place for a future home." Will the seller ever dare to build a house and live in it in such a place, any time in the future?

Only good thing about this place is, it is on TVS Road and hence falls en route Swamy Virajeshwara's Ashram.
I will kill my anger, or myself, soon.
