+===Directions===
+The author would like to conclude with the following directives:
+  * The need for a gradual shift towards a 'we' and 'us' based culture from a 'me' and 'I' based approach. Collective communities like India, are facing a reverse trend with the recent shift towards an individual based, self serving attitude under the influence of 'growth' and 'progress'.
+  * Concious need for information 'exchange' and collaborations between different cultures and contexts to develop greater self reliance and interdependence. All the time striving for the right balance between clear structures and flexible systems, between small self organised clusters and larger fabrics, between independent points of view and a general concensus.
+  * Links with tradition should involve the use of past processes of change rather than the maintenance of past structures and patterns. We have to constantly reevaluate and revalidate our responses and ideas of 'growth' and 'progress' in such turbulent times. The metaphor of progress and growth must move towards leaving things inside us rather than behind us.
+  * We must constantly strive to create fertile systems which bring culture and nature together. This could be through technology, media or traditional mediums.
