Seeing Mirch Masala in 2022 at times made me feel bored, put in a different way at time it felt out of place in the current scenario when Putin is waging war against Ukraine, we read about the economic turmoil of UK, and the antarctic ice melting, floods in pakistan, COVID no’s of 1 million death in India and so on.
I had to restrain and control my patience to see it at times and I was reflecting on it later - our interest and consumption of news has changed so much over time that the the key concern of those with money is mostly around issues created in last 10 - 20 years while on ground things would not have changed much.
My visit to a village in Assam in 2018, showed that there is no power for more than 2 hrs, schools are understaffed, medical facilities are available only at towns and that too for anything like a complex surgery or you have to travel much further.
There are too many issues out there, everything looks too big and difficult to solve. There are issues which you want to solve but the practical reasons like language or location, you will have to rule out. Our years of time spent in corporate forces us to think big and scale.
No issue is too small - as long as it impacts even a single person.
