Hello !

A girl who leads a virtual and philosophical life.
She has a wise goat in her brain who takes a walk in a new quadrant of the globe everyday .
When back home from its grazing path it shares her heart with the girl whom she confides in.
The girl listens to her , gets poetic sometimes.
Someday she feels rather very informed when she gets to know about the technological advances.
Sometimes lands herself in a jigsaw situation.
Sometimes she is rather bewildered yet confident.
Spriritual sometimes , rather emotional sometimes!

World around me : Gen XYZ

World around me : GenXYZ

I survive in a world where my life is not just about pacing ahead of my counterparts but also the people who are a decade older and a decade younger to me.

Hardly did I step into my early twenties when I realised that the tortoise of the the tortoise and  the hare story was slow but consistent hence could take his steps right in the race . My lifestyle neither matches the speed of the rabbit nor the steady crawl of the tortoise. Its an amalgam of both . I am slow and unsteady , this way I am nudged ahead by the slow competitors and pushed behind by the fast and the furious leads of the race . The life has been average in academics and lifestyle.

Two days ago , I thought of shedding away my inhibitions and looking beyond my competitors and age. I met two people a cousin aged 8 and the other aged 30 -odd.The age difference was more than a decade . I thought of figuring out the development graph of the GenX and the GenZ . Being one of the GenY , I wonder why is my life nothing more than confusion and queries.

After an hour long conversation with the GenX :

The generation had actually faced the repulsive force from the stereotypes , they have struggled in their professional front , lifestyle choices , night life , partner pick and a lot more. So they I believe were the ones to break the stereotype of study well , work hard , get a job in a MNC .
Actually the last generation to follow the routine path , create ripples in the media, go wheeling on the two wheelers , smoke the branded cigarettes , wear headsets , use laptops , sip more soft drinks than water , wear goggles in the night , groove with the mike , trash radio and switch to 100 channels of DTH cable , lay down their long hair all open , wear skin tight jeans to low waist denims , evolve from lungis to track pants , reduce the heavy soda glass thick spectacles into a millimeter thick contact lens , cut the cables and own a mobile phone , throw the table and get a plasma tv and many more .
The ones written above were just one of the few. I see nothing new other than the smartphone evolution in this decade . GenY  is yielding the mangoes from the tree , which was planted a decade ago at an economical price.

After an hour long conversation with the GenZ :


The teens or the toddlers are the harvest of the GenX , they are much smarter , much quicker , more advanced . They fool the GenYs in no time , are more energetic and more efficient than the former . The cousin I wrote about plays chess , wins trophies , that's the level of intellect of the India Today. He plays sports , recites the noble book of the almighty , great in academics , watches cartoons , beats up people , gets thrashed sometimes as well ,uses all the gadgets , rolls rotis , sauté curries , knows 4 languages . What do you call this ? These things were done by the GenY nothing before 15 years . They are 10 years younger yet 10 years ahead.

With all the generations going upswing , there had to be generation that held a state of equilibrium or a slight depression , so GenY comfortably walks into the formers shoes.
Thanks!Enjoy and let enjoy!
