Well we so frequently say in India we have this digital divide I always think its just a fashionable word coined by some pseudo intellectuals , issue in general is broader, between have's and have not's. I might sound contrary to popular wisdom but what exactly is penetration of Digital technology in India. We still live in vilages where we look at sky for the irrigation.The issue is Monetry, the divide is actually monetry.I actually just went thru this video

It basically depicts the aspirations( Have nots) or disappointments ( Haves) on the people when they have been offered rs 500. I was actually little moved, Rs 500 is a miniscule amount but I just realized this is the money I pay to my servant who works for me at an avg of 25 days a month. And it means something to her.So what is the underlying fact that I wanted to highlight just that I think me and most of the people reading this blog are lucky and its high time we should do something for the people who aren't as lucky as we are.
Yes I call it luck, I was lucky to be born in a family where Meals was not a problem and they can afford my education and ofcourse everything else follows.
