A Blooming technocrat would be in his Teens afterall (honestly at this age also if I see u carrying a nice high-end cellphone definitely my desires to own it will start growing, even though it might not be my necessity nor my economy wud be allowing it. Then how can we expect teens to be spared of being allured), so the unfulfilled wish of possessing these articles is quite natural...so why to display n hurt even though it's unintentional!!...the 2nd strata that I back u is being least concerned about the presence of elderly people in the vicinity and showering clusters of Language that somehow makes them feel more Masculine and Robust also Energises them (still keeps me guessing how??)....lets hope few, if not many find time to just have a glance at this.... and amidst scores of abuses for both of us, if they find at least an ounce of something good...then we should feel that your so lively experience and my thoughts have worked out to some extent...Thanks to you Sambit for illuminating this topic that is always remaining ignored and spared under the alms of - "Generation Gap"...!!BaibhavMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945534234160398305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027653379742680122.post-71369993258497172982011-07-31T11:33:50.153-07:002011-07-31T11:33:50.153-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.BaibhavMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945534234160398305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027653379742680122.post-6330522890180831992011-07-31T11:18:32.185-07:002011-07-31T11:18:32.185-07:00What you speak of is not only restricted to the ub...What you speak of is not only restricted to the uber cool class of metros. It has find its way to the so called upcoming cities of India. When you are out with your family, you sometimes feel ashamed. I felt that many a times when out with my family. A day before, me and my friend went to a coffee shop.. to find a "couple" of 15-20 yrs (its quite difficult to guess ages now) literally sitting intertwined on each other. I don't know who is responsible for this.. movies.. upbringing.. WESTERN influence.. peer pressure.. media.. but surely.. unscrupulous flow of money without the sense of responsibility do play a BIG BIG role.. I feel old and outdated..SAMBIT KESORIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459811286805470564noreply@blogger.com
