India is clearly a society in transition,with its neck craning towards west,while still mired deep in the traditions of east.Our metros are replete with young professionals who are living away from their families and can scarcely cope with issues ranging from severe loneliness to inferiority complex to job related anxiety.Today,traditional buffers such as such as extended families are evaporating,gone is the the omnipresent grandmother who patiently listen to everyone.Also working mothers has less time for children and family.In some cases words from your family members and friends like "take care,apna khyal rakhna etc." are more effective than a counselling.But alas we don't have time for these words.We spend hours on facebook but never go to nearby temple,orphanage or a school for disabled.
