Ismart Diwali Sopping: A Sham!!

  Ismart Diwali Sopping: A Sham!! Early in the morning, I happened to see a futile edition of the newspaper corresponding to Diwali. The issue was full of advertisements irrespective of the products and their range. As India celebrates freedom of expression, free advise is inevitable. Ever wondered why people gather around parents of unmarried children and childless couples? Make people believe that they are products of “Renaissance”. An old tendency of the newspapers to impart financial knowledge has gone overboard. The advices are cliché and none is novel.  If a parent or a teacher guides X, it is interference. Selective interference in the name of “expert guidance” is ideal for a X, a new-generation partially westernized Indian. That is the sad part of this very story. As usual, the papers go on like a struck gramophone, “Spend smart this festive season”... A newspaper’s divergent take on financial advice in addition to their editorials. The very first attack is usually on crackers.
