Thanks to TOI, the idea of “The Slow Movement” has been brought up for review by those who are still in the rat race, those who have slowed down, those have been slowed down and those who are resting by the ‘melt down’, and a few who are fleeting from job to job and of course the ones who are waiting on their wings unmindful of the above groups. The move (not go slow) is reported to have been started in the mid 1980s and is reportedly catching up.
This new idea has already coined phrases like – Slow Food, Slow Design, Slow Cities, Slow mail, Slow Music, Slow Parenting, Slow Homes, Slow Cars, Slow Travel, etc. etc. Is it not funny that this concept was initiated by the same West which triggered the rate race which is in full speed in the East now?
The main idea is to warn people that, to put it in a nutshell, they have lost touch with the “life”, to know their families, friends, community and perhaps nativity and nationality!
I hope many of you know must be aware of this movement. Nature has slowed down some of us. It will be interesting to know how many of us would subscribe to this new movement and what are their views.
