What is 500INR worth???

I was looking at an Youtube video posted by a favorite friend of mine about how 500rs is perceived by people of economic status and age group.
For a small poor boy who misses out school coz of money its a luxury to put him in school for an year. For an elderly man its enough to feed his family for an few days.
But for the youth of India it has different meaning,
1.its worth nothing
2.to buy booze
3.hang out with gals
4.to smoke
5.to eat ice cream
6.to buy branded underwear, man will that youths pants fit only above an branded underwear
and many more meaning about its worth...

Is this attitude of youth a product of their parents hard work and making the youth life cozy ,show piece of democracy,outcome of free market,consumerism or an blind walk to follow American culture which the youth feels as the best or above all the talent of the Indian Entertainment might to tell people how they should live their lives....
Huummm .. 'Think' What does your heart tells u to do next time when you get 500rs....
Think that what you don't give a s*** might be a precious treasure for the many people in this world. Wake up and try to make the world a beautiful place with your heart,hands and time and leave a positive footprint for others to follow...

good post John...you said, you didn't understand what was the flat means..this is what the virtual revolution made by the virtual flat platform I wrote about in my blog...I saw the video too, but its individuals right to decide what to do and what not to do till it might be a potential harm to fellow men..but one can always throw the opinion on that, i believe... :)
