Middle Class India In The 1970's

I read this today (http://www.funtoosh.com/jokes/indian_jokes/472) and thought how true. This is how it was across India for the middle class with small variations.

There was not much of a variation in the lifestyles of you and your neighbor and your cousin. It was pretty much the same.

I still remember the day I visited my uncle's place. They had a TV and there was a large bunch of neighbors who had gathered around in their house to watch some popular program on TV. I was standing at the door. My aunt didn't recognize me. I had not seen them for 6 years and they were not expecting me. My aunt asked to come in and watch the TV program.

Life has changed a lot today. There is a vast difference in lifestyles between the lower middle class and the upper middle class today.
