No am not aged 50 but at 21 also I feel as its been decades out of school... Met my childhood buddies.... Went on a cycle for tuitions...or for that Even Slept like a baby in my moms lap...
Today a generation gap is 3-5 yrs, unlike it was for us d the age difference between us and our parents..... We grew up in a joint family where grandparents instilled the traditional value systems and ensured our food was cooked in pure ghee...
However, today we have come to become the age of nuclear families, having our own space, privacy, protein diets and the attitude of 'work smart instead work hard'...
Phew!! Honestly I love d 'my life my space' attitude personally :)
The fact that we can call our generation the logical, rational n practical one is in itself a high...
Getting along with some1 10 yrs elder or 5 yrs younger is not difficult at all.....
So then what is missing?? Seems just perfect, isn't it?
Well... Hmmm... Nope its NOT...
D simplicity is missing... We all live under masked identities....
It has become difficult to believe anyone on face value... We can't help but look beyond and dissect what the other person is saying... The trust levels have gone down tremendously... All this is thanks to the cut throat competition and survival levels...
But in all this there is still a way to relive our good old times.... Let us raise a toast to ' Kingfisher - the king of good old times' ;)
Cheers! :)
I really loved this article the most. I think, even today-its really so tough for us to sometimes open up to the closest people around us. You for example- this blog has told me so much more about you, than ...well...the person i've known you as...
ReplyDeleteOur generation is pretty much close to being awesome...And that I guess is because,like generations before us, we've grown out of the shadows of history...This phase reminds me of what Europe when through in the 70s...Redefining culture...
But the one thing that stands out- is the lack of depth in relationships....
Respect man. I like your blog.
