Interesting Times

Today the quota discussion took a new turn as the goverment is saying to exercise it as soon as possible. So the innuendo starts this year itslef. 54% increase in the total seats has been affirmed. I dont know what good is going to come-up. The average quality of the education is definately going to go down.
Its started raining cats and dogs in Pune. In Mumbai they are fearing 26th July redux. I hope nothing of that sort happens...god forbid! Though one person has already lost his life after he got washed away at the Worli sea-face.
As I write this remember an ancient chinese curse "May you live in interesting times." Do you think we are?
An after thought on the theory of motivation. It says needs are the greatest factors in motivating an individual. I disagree. I think that the wants are the greatest factors. We dont live for the needs. Our needs can be counted on the finger-tips. After the stereotyped "Roti, Kapda, Makan" comes the need for socialising and self-actualisation. But do these factors motivate us to become what we are?
We thrive for what we want and not what we need. I want to wear a Levis. Hence I must work hard and earn money so that I can go and buy it.
There's my motivation.
