    The present picture of the world and the nation is that that everything has become commericalized! The purpose of our actions and thoughts has also become materialistic. We tend to search for profits and material aspect behind every situation or ocassion taking place in the present time. Now may it be any ocassion or festival, the material aspect has taken over the pure sentiments and traditional significance of it. You take up any festival whether it belong to one's creed or religion, so much of hustle bustle already begins to take place prior many days. Or we can say that too much of commercialization already starts before the arrival of that festival.

    If it is Rublic Day or Independence Day; national flags are easily be seen in the hands of every street hawker, and roadside salesman who sale national flags like some toys. Then if it is Christmas; markets become flooded with Santa's caps/costumes and other miscellaneous accessories. Numerous of sales at discounted prices are organized by many branded shops during such festive occassions in order to allure a huge number of people to increase their sales. But what is quite dissappointing to know that under this commercialization the true sentiments of the people attached to those ocassions somewhere get blurred. People forget to enjoy and celebrate the festival in its true essence and they get overwhelmed by the alluring offers and precisely saying by the commericalized purpose of the materialistic world around them.
