India’s Gross National Happiness according to Facebook comes from Sex, Money, Superstition and the God delusion

Here’s what the graph shows for 2010-11:

Giddy levels of GNH on “Frandship day” (41.531, 1 Aug 2010) followed by Diwali (31.209, Nov 5 2010) followed by the “Super Moon” news (26.36 March 19, 2011) beating Christmas 2010 by a point (25.55, Dec 25 2010)…

Holds true for 2009 too, except of course for the Super Moon….

So… It’s mostly teenagers and twentynaagers who haven’t gotten over their teenage years of sexual deprivation and repressed emotions, finding the ultimate tool to make a new “frand” (which the world of brands cashes in upon by manufacturing “frandship” day), followed by the Goddess of Wealth (Wealth = Money for most), followed by Superstition, and then yet another commercialized holy event.

Call me a cynic, but it seems Sex, Money, Superstition, and Mythology are what captures our (Indian) minds – in order of appearance (and it’s all good for business).

So much for the last quarter million years of Homo Sapiens evolution (at least in India :p :) )
