In many ways,india is blessed by its demographics,by its young people.and it's not just interms of economy.For far too long,ours was a society in which being young was a literarally minor but nonetheless irritatingailment like mumps and measles-which had to be got over as quickly as possible so that one could gain the respectable- and respected -status of middle age and beyond.
young people-anyone under the age of 30 and or unmarried - were deemed not to be sufficiently equipped with the wisdom of themselves,whether that decision involvedmatrimony,career choice or what salwar or shirt to wear when paying a family visit to uncleji's and auntieji'shouse.Age was an advantage underbridgeable chasm of the generation gap.
Today,if anything,those traditional roles have been reversed.youth is wooed by potential employers and by producers of good and servises,age is often at a discount.far from stimulating.the energy, zest and intensity of the young is highly infectious,a benevolent virus that leaps across the erstwhile generation gap and transforms it into each other and extemporise a new tempo.
talking to young people,listening to what they have to say about big things and small-about career prospects,or the latest app offered by black berry, or the meaning of it All.if all indeed does have a mean ind-i get to know better my own opinions on the subject. Generation rapping is more than a comparing of ideas from different sides of a dividing fence its an exchange of views using the common telescope of time Senior cuts like me tend to focus the telescope on the past the future being a horizon far too close to bear magnified scrutiny
With hardly any past to speak of the to grow more distant everyday with the future so far away for the young time seems to pass with maddening slow sens . with the future all ready becoming the past as we look at it , for us who are no longer young time seems to accelerate with scary speed. Being with oldsters life me might help speed up times frustrate ting slowness.
So i would to thank parul and all of her generation for the gift of future thy give us.my regret is that the future they will inherit from my lot could have been much brighter and better and may be they will make it just that.
