00:00
You could have an entire generation that won't get jobs, or they'll be really underemployed.
00:07
A lot of the youth is distracted on their phones.
00:10
I think they don't understand.
00:12
I think they feel like, oh, we bought some Rafale planes, or we just had something, we
00:18
made a big statue, or we did something like that, and we have Bollywood, or we have very
00:22
tasty food, or we have so much history, that makes us very great.
00:27
It doesn't make us great.
00:29
They don't realize what is the problem of being a poor country.
00:33
If you are not a rich country, nobody takes you seriously, no matter what is your history.
00:36
I think the youth doesn't care right now because they are distracted by their phone, which
01:05
is a wonderful thing.
01:07
You know, phones can be very useful, but they are not using the phone only for LinkedIn.
01:11
They are using the phone for like watching videos on YouTube and Instagram, 4-4 hours,
01:16
6-6 hours, 8-8 hours a day on the phone.
01:18
So they are so distracted, data is cheap, 300-400 rupees a month, you pay, and you can
01:23
be lost in that world.
01:25
So you can forget about reality, you don't have a job, what do you want to do?
01:28
You're an engineer, you'll have to be a delivery boy, you're okay with that, then you keep
01:32
solving the case then, Bollywood, and then say, I'm trying to improve Bollywood.
01:37
What will you achieve?
01:38
What will you get out of it?
01:42
You are simply watching these cases for entertainment, at least be honest, tomorrow the entertainment
01:48
value of these cases go away, you will stop trying to solve them.
01:52
So stop saying you're trying to improve the country, you're trying to do something, you're
01:55
only in it for the entertainment, take that away, you won't be interested in this news
02:00
item, just as you're not interested in any other news item, which is far more important
02:04
to you and affects your life.
02:12
Till now, companies come to India and they say it's very difficult to do business in
02:16
India, because some government official will keep harassing you, number one, and number
02:20
two, we have to really clamp down on social unrest, all these Hindu-Muslim issues, all
02:26
this, if you are, like, imagine you're a rich country, and you're looking to, you're somebody
02:30
who lives in a rich country, you're an investor, you want to invest in a poorer country, which
02:35
is already doesn't have great infrastructure or legal system, now the people there are
02:40
also fighting with each other, would you invest there?
02:51
You always keep saying, India is great, even if you're saying genuine things like we need
02:55
to have better roads, or we need to grow the economy, that the coronavirus is very bad
03:00
in India right now, it's just growing.
03:02
So you some people don't like it, they just want to talk about how great our history is
03:05
and how Aryabhatta made zero and all this.
03:08
So I think that's something is a sign of a low self-esteem, because the real deal is
03:15
not in like, you know, asking for validation on all the time about some historical greatness.
03:24
The real power, the real respect in the world comes when you're a rich country.
03:29
If you're not a rich country, nobody takes you seriously, no matter what is your history.
03:32
Like Africa is a cradle of civilization.
03:35
But does anyone take Africa as seriously as Europe and US?
03:39
They don't in the world stage, that continent doesn't matter as much.
03:42
Why?
03:43
Because of money.
03:44
So if you want India to have respect, if you say I love India, if you say you're a nationalist,
03:50
you must make sure that India gets rich, which means focus on the economy.
04:03
I think I used to do a lot of love stories.
04:06
I did one thriller last time, Girl in Room 105, it got a tremendous response, people
04:10
really liked it.
04:12
So I thought, okay, why not do one more mystery, which is also got romance, which is also got
04:17
humor.
04:18
It's still a Chetan Bhagat book, but it has a nice mystery to it, a lot of suspense, and
04:24
which will make people, you know, once they start reading, they won't be able to stop.
