The underlying philosophy should definitely be the same as you have written and not be a prospective bride-hunting or groom-hunting experience.

This enterprise of bringing interesting people together that this 'upmarket' event company undertakes for money seems to be driven by such similar impulses. How can you be so uncritical of such kind of blatant commodification? You may say that you dont care a bit about these things. But you know this world is becoming such a cruel place to live in for a lot of people. Have you heard of those farmers in UP and Maharashtra ? The ones who committed suicide being unable to cope with the pressures of being poor in a third world country. Am sure you will agree that this world was not such a nice place for them. Do we really need to contribute towards making it even worse? How are people like us are making it worse for them? By being uncritical and passive consumers of things, ideas and discourses. By contributing towards the growth of this vicious monster called market. We need to be more critical. Nandininoreply@blogger.com
