Creative Clones????

if you are flowing like a water, check your density , your chemical composition for minerals present.. determine exectly how and in which direction you would flow.. give us the direct map, the complete area you are going to swipe.. on a second to second planning..

its impossible , it cant be done.. I am water don't know which surface i am gonna kiss.. don't know if i touch the ground where would it lead.. it depends upon the way wind would flow.. it is impossible..

Impossible??? Dissolve..

Okay , if you are a dancer, check your moves, tell me each cut your body is going to make, give a detailed accounting of by how much milimeters your eyes would strech with the change of beats.. what angle you are going to rotate your hands.. Oh!! you know physics&Maths?? map it on a 3D plane.. and in case your heart beats with the beats of music.. Map them and forecast the passion in your heart with every next beat so that i can calculate your next move..

Its impossible , It cant be done.. I am a dancer.. don't know which plane i am gonna cut.. don't know because i don't do it.. it happens when music starts.. beats touch me.. they make my eyes strech and create alive expressions.. i don't know when my hands move, coz i dont move them.. they move and i just watch.. like you. like an outsider.. I cant map my heart beats to the beats on play.. coz i can dance without the music too.. Oh! sorry i can watch myself dancing without music too.. I cant do what you want.. Its Impossible..

Impossible?? Dissolve..

you are a gem.. a valued one in market.. want to put many of you in a bouquet.. its going to be vibrant and different.. But wait can you be more presentable.. can you all wear masks.. so that you all look alike.. We would like to cut your edges in the same shape.. Standardization???
We would provide some artificial lights, you all would glitter the same..

Its Impossible , it would make us clones.. cloning kills creativity..... we would loose our essence.. without our glitter, shape we would look dull together.. We cant do what you want.. its tough..

Its tough?? (Devil Laugh) Oh no its not.. dont let your creative Quotient die.. You all be clones.. creative clones.. and if you cant..

Dissolve..

Decide.

The Base..

I would like this one with the one of the lines my father uses -

"Kad tab uncha hoga
jab sar aasmaan mein aur kadam hon dharti pe...
 jad sir aasmaan mein ho aur kadam bhi..
to kad uncha nahi hota..
insaan gir jaata hai....  
"
and after a visit to the city i was born .. and had the strongest connection with ... i can understand dad's these words ... better .. every time..

I am talking about FARIDKOT,the city where me , my brother , my father and yes by coincidence my mother was born too. A city which embraced my grandpa and whole family including a kid of 6 months when they came from Pakistan in 1947. So in real manner it is not the place where we belonged to as all that is left behind. But no matter how many times different names of places are discussed at home as our roots, how many times my father gets transferred to the best of cities, how many times i change my address and my phone number with the changing months, you ask me to define home - I'll say Faridkot.

It is the most beautiful place on earth where every one knows every body. Where one doesn't have to tell a rickshaw waala a house number to go but "Sharma ji" aur "Rabra ji's" home..

This time i reached there at 5 30 in the morning and i was looking at shops, clock tower and what not which is standing still without any kind of change from years. There is no place better where i feel home even if i visit after one year. It welcomes me with open arms and the warmth which can't be matched.

All those memories from past are so fresh that when ever i go there... I see my brother running after kites in summers holiday in that home.. I see my mother and aunt chatting and cooking for large huge family which is gathered for summers.. I see my grandma giving me extra rupee to buy toffees.. I see my father showing me the best places of city.. my uncle taking me out for a scooter  ride... I see myself playing at our own farms.. splashing the water on my cousins out from a tube well...

All that was so beautiful.. Being there is so beautiful...

This place which is second smallest town on India's map is most important place of my life...

Because it gives me a strong solid base.. which never changes.. allows me to go.. jump high in life... come back to its freshness and revive myself.. touch the base.. and jump even higher...

The Generation Theory

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 !!!
