It was very stormy weather this night where the rain lashed at the ground hard and the trees made lashing and whooshing sound when there was a similar mood set in my mind as well.
I was gazing at a future where we have crossed our youth long ago and are doing something which we personally never wanted to.
I could see the current genration very well handicapped in terms of descision making where our minds,just like our brain are split into three parts. Namely:
1)Personal opinion
2)Parents and family opinion
3)No opinion
It is a tricky situation that the current genaration is facing where the youth is perplexed wondering if to listen to themselves or if to listen to their parents and the other elder ones in the family.
The bold ones decide to listen to their inner self and intuition and the comparitively defensive ones decide to listen to their parents as they would want to be in the good books and also to lead a risk free life.
I see that whole Indian society is pretty much canvassed with the issue of deciding and proving as to who is right and who is not. Are we right or the elders??
The elders want to prove a point that the life has to be led the way they led it when they were young and the younger lot feels things should go on the way they want to.
Now, who is going to win and who is going to loose here??? Are the elder ones going to compromise or the younger ones?
Competetion apart, I recently came across a situation where the son comes home intoxicated ( not sloshed ) as a result of a small party which he had to attend since his friend happened to be one of his really close pals.
The father does not let him in and asks for a promise that the son would never drink again. And the son here is a mid 20s gentleman who can very well take care of his bread and butter for living is asked to promise something which he knows he has to break very soon as he is aware that the world today is not the way it was 25 years ago.
He tries to to make his dad understand how the world outside is today and it isn't possible to live the way his dad is expecting him to as if he does so he may very well be stigmatized from his usual society with whom he spends more that half of the day.
It is a world where the youth is no longer are superstitious!
It is a world where the youth is very well educated and aware about what is happening around them!
It is a world where one does not work in a company for 25 years and then retire!
It is a world where a 5 year old kid has an Iphone in it's hand.
Let the adults march with the time, as time is something which cannot and will not stop either. We or the previous gen stopping ti walk with the time will only leave them behind where things around them are moving ahead and they are just watching them all race past them and they are struggling to catch up later.
Would like to finally tell all the adults:
Dear adults...

We very well plan our future as we are not equally but more concerned about is as we have to lead it in your absence some years later. And nobody to take care of us as families are nuclear families now and we do not have 5 or 6 siblings!
Kindly trust us and our actions as our happiness is eventually going to lead to your happiness and comfort at your old age.
