00:00There is a complete proliferation of all kinds of colourful objects all around.
00:05You want to buy a car, you will be flooded with choices.
00:09You want to buy a shirt, n numbers of brands.
00:12You want to visit a place, so many options and so many to travel operators.
00:16You want to eat, just look at the ever lengthening menu.
00:20The entire culinary expanse of the world is available on your table.
00:25Choices, choices everywhere.
00:27That's what the industrial age has done, right?
00:30Go to Amazon, does not matter what you want, it will be delivered at your doorsteps.
00:34People are truly empowered.
00:35So objects all around and yet nothing that can satisfy you.
00:39I am reminded of that beautiful poem.
00:41Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
00:45A lost ship in the middle of a vast ocean.
00:49Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.
00:54That's our state.
