With Binge Drinking, Chain smoking, and pubs and bars at every corner of urban India, traditional teachings of our ancestors regarding health and nourishment of body have gone for a toss.

Mass media and Bollywood are not too far away in promotion of such habits.

Drugs, Drinking, Crime, Sexualized content & cussing away to 'thy kingdom come' are the current trends ruling the web now, which is picked up rather easily by our impressionable youth.

Surely we have come a long way from the likes of Raja Harischnadra and Mother India.

In an attempt to seek validation of peers or being labeled an outcast by freinds, innocent young people gets hooked on to such habits through misguidance.

Replacing these vices with habits that strengthens character, moral virtues is the only way and the need of the hour.
