Theory : Genertion X > Generation Y if X>Y
To Prove: IS generation growing at a faster pace and each gen is smarter than previous one...
I have many friends of which majority is from the same age group as mine.. Many a times(as usual) we start talking about our childhood.. There is a connect always which i wonder is one of a kind or people from every age group share.. It happened many times with me with different people..
"hey do you remember Small Wonder?"
"Oh !!! Yes.. I do.. It was amazing...
do you remember chandrakanta on Sundays ?"
Of course... and on and on...
and here eyes starts widening..
and then there is a whole lot of series as the two major , precious and only channels we had were DD1 and DD2.. and there was exact set of serials,cartoon movies everybody watched.. It gives a connect... yes when one starts singing ... She is a small wonder.. or you just join in.. or sometimes when someone calls you Genie and you instantly reply.. Mallllik.... with blinking your eyes and folding your arms..
How can we forget our very own --" chandrakanta ki kahaani... ye maana hai puraani.. "
Very true...
and once these childhood talks start they go on and on.. We all had our simple, easy and innocent childhood watching same Alice, Baloo or Uncle Scrooge... That connects us all..
I really wonder if the kids today would be able to talk like this.. or what common things Kids must be watching or doing these days with 100+ channels and infinite choices.. Whenever i visit my Big Brother's place i seriously gets a big shock by hearing the talks of eight or nine years old who are passing by with more upmarket clothes than us... The girls of third fourth standard waxed up, boys already having number of girlfriends and breakups..
I find them smart.. But i am sorry i don't find them cute or huggables...
PERHAPS generation is growing at faster pace and each gen is smarter than previous one...
Now the litmus paper test for us...
The people from my parents age has something to connect.. but i think our generation might connect by childhood but it will loose on adulthood because of the same reasons the kids are loosing the connect in their childhood...
The way i feel when i see kids of today , our elders do feel about us..
As i don't see a kid in a kid anymore but a premature adult, our elders must be finding a premature middle aged..
YES generation is growing at a faster pace and each gen is smarter than previous ones...
Hence proved !!!

U sure are a prolific writer.. 100 years hence age may not matter at all.. Babies could be developed with the brains of 40-50 year olds.. technology..
ReplyDeleteShweta you are good yar!
ReplyDeleteGreetings my online friend!
ReplyDeleteYup, an instant connect it was with Disney Hour, (Ruffles Lays presents) I dream of Genie, Baloo & Ducktales (o wooo oo!)..
I had this theory at school of a 'generation gap' beginning to emerge every 3 years, you tend to identify with your immediate seniors & juniors better. Thereafter: Poof. Abe, lagta hai boodha ho gaya hoon!
You have penned stuff down, and done well in the act, however, these thoughts have been around in my mind for quite some time.
Plagiarism! IPR, where art thou?
Most viewed Tv serial for 54 week!!.. Chandrakaanta!!
ReplyDeleteKroor Singh- Yakkooo!
Absolutely agreed...
well!! i beg to differ :)
ReplyDeletei strongly feel as countries progress and generations progress, they become dumber :)
they start losing a sense of history, culture etc etc etc....
@Pratyush.. Yes Plagirism!!! from everyone's mind from my age group.
ReplyDelete@ Azad - Yakoooooo :)
@ Chaitanya - I feel every generation is going smarter and dumber at the same time in different arenas.. :P
connect connect connect.....the matter under contention here is connect.....i feel every gen should have a common connect.....coz it is this connect which shapes our childhood.....my parents have always tried to imbibe in me few things which were called as connect in their childhood days.....things like amitabh bachchan movies.....things like travelling in mumbai local trains....things like eating pani puri and bhel puri at khau galli....things like gatecrashing with friends in uninvited weddings happening in the college hall.....our gen has our own set of connects....so what happens is every gen forms its own set of connects......the problem is the intersection of the sets of connects of gen X and gen Y is slowly but surely becoming a null set....if we can ensure that every gen has atleast 1-2 common connects, then probably we can lessen the dumbening effect that we are talking about....my parents tried their best to do this and have fairly succeeded as i can connect with my dad's friends.....hope we also do teh same with our children so that we dun hav these generation qualms :)
