MY GENERATION

They call my generation, generation x, generation y, generation new, generation now and god knows what not.
My generation is also called irresponsible, careless and called very often as a matter of fact (every day every moment). So what is my generation like??

My generation… Hmm. My generation….
My generation is inspired
My generation is intense
My generation is creative
My generation is hard working

We are not careless… we just care less. We make movies, cars, liquor, buildings, computers and we make them better than people all around the world do (in other countries). We make difference, we make India. The new India.

My generation is beautiful
My generation is sensible
My generation is smart
My generation is rich

My generation does not struggle to survive as our forefathers did. Every day was a struggle to survive… But not for my generation. We know (most of us) that we’ll survive anyways. But we don’t just want to live, we want to live well.
We strive to make India a superpower

My generation is strong
My generation is independent

We have come to realize of our hidden potential. We know we ought to be better off than we already are. We are like dolphins who are rushing to the surface who just realized it needs to breathe; it needs to gallop above water. Others please take notice and applause.

So all said, my generation is invincible. Is it?
No… my generation is confused.
My generation is wasted
My generation is distracted

We don’t know what we want. We lose our way very often. We need other people to show us the way but we don’t know or are not sure that “the way” shown by others is the best for us. We don’t listen… We don’t want anyone to tell us what to do…
My generation is a rebel. My generation…

My generation is jobless
My generation is a mob
My generation is rapist

How many people get the education they deserve? Only 9% of young India consists of engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs… others. They are illiterate farmers, labourers. And a huge percentage chooses to waste itself by being part of mob, petty burglars, thieves, pickpockets and ugly rapists.
My generation listens to music people think is noise, they wear pants low enough to show off their jockeys, Dolce & Gabbana’s. They pay thousand bucks to get hairdo as if they just got up from the bed.

My generation is crazy
My generation is marauder(/s)
My generation is moron
My generation is easy to spoil. It’s easy to make us drink, smoke, do drugs. It’s easy to get us wasted. Just tell us it’s cool.

My generation is wannabe

My generation takes part in petty selfish politics, does strikes, bandhs, burns down shops and buses. Is India already not having enough trouble to progress?
All said, all heard my generation still drives my nation towards progress at a blinding and staggering speed of 8% GDP growth per annum. Because we think we can fly and we try.
With all the questions unanswered… I’ll like to conclude this essay. Leaving u to think, analyze the prospective.

My generation is young
My generation is a pool of fish. But they don’t know where to go. There’s an endless ocean around, full of opportunities, full of dangers. But very soon we’ll figure out where to go and we’ll go together taking nation with us… won’t we?
My generation is bureaucratic
My generation is intellectual
My generation is me…
