Gen Y with an Extra Gene!!!!!!

Right from my school days, I am amazed by the kind of difference I have with my fellow gens. Be it my juniors, my cousins or anyone,some or other things always startle me. Recently I came across something which I thought will scribble down somewhere as I have finally decided to transfer the thoughts within my pandora's box on to the keyboard!!!

Scene1: 6/10/09:

It was a bright day for me as i could speak to someone in the morning after a long time.That somehow gave me an inner energy to be charged until dusk.i was on my way to electronic city to meet few of my clients and as usual,i dropped into my favourite tamil brahmin outlet at koramangala 5th block.once i started having,a few guys or rather kids dropped into the restau&sat at the table beside me.they took the attention of each and every person sitting there,not because they had mirror cracking looks,but as any bangalorean knows it,they are not supposed to be there!!And they never dissappointed the crowd.Things started off with a loud "fuck you",but again no one is really bothered to turn their head to that particular word as its really strange if they dont use it once in two sentences.Then began the real conversation once they ordered their dosas n stuffs.I could clearly listen to what they were telling as my table was right next to them.It was all kicked off by one of those kids who himself started off his version portraying someone as bitch.Again it didnt bother me much as its a "respectful" word for our generation.But the second kid joined him by saying something about some "bastard".Bitches and bastards continued to fill up the silent restau and then i decided to sharpen my ears earning to hear something spicy.But alas!!They were all telling about their own parents and not some one else.Now that sounded strange to me.Strange enough to actually wind up my food&leave that place asap.I thought of telling something to them,but it would be a mere waste of advice from me and another "fuck you" session for them.

Scene2 16/10/09:

It was diwali holidays coming up and i was waiting for my bus to come.The fact that i was a heavy boozer and the long break with out even a single shot of alcohol took myself and my roomies to the nearest bar.They left early and I was waiting at the waiting lounge.Right next to me was this young girlsitting and head banging herself completely unaltered by the people around.Again,as bangalorised as she was,noone around was bothered except me as she kept banging on to my arm rest which was causing too much of a hindrance to my power naps.Then it went beyond a point that i decided to plug myselves with my list of bryans&james!The fact that i went completely into the songs, later resulting into some unseen,insane&unbearable texts is a different story which is worth scribbling later.But,coming back to the girl,she was quite interested in peeping into my playlist as and when i turned my screen on.Till then,i didnt know what kind of gadget that "wanna b tomboy" had pushed into her back pockets.Then came the real shock,an 8gb ipod in the back pocket,that too the typical girly pink.I felt a bit out of fashion for a moment when she took it and flashed it infront of me.Our banging sessions continued for almost an hour as the bus was late by almost 3hours!In between i squeezed myself out of the lounge to get some fresh air.It was freezing cold outside and I ended up with my banging partner in less than 5mins.Things went on&on,all of a sudden I heard "The Show" being played somewhere,which I'd never heard in any public place before other than in VH1.There again this girl shocked me with another gadget coming out of her front pocket,an I-PHONE!!For a moment,i doubted if she is Indra Nooyi's daughter on her way to kerala for a vaccation.Me,sitting in a normal waiting lounge with Nooyi's daughter?No,never,probably the whisky has hit hard on me.But i coudnt come out of the shock this girl kept on giving me every now and then.I was forced to run my eyes through her outfits to find out the brands she was wearing,but the mission was a failure.Now,i knew she is gonna give the next surprise soon and she did in the next 30mins.A Honda CRV came and parked infront of the place an a sid(wake up sid)look alike got out of it with a lot of travel gear.He came upto her and hugged her,she still clinging on to her chair,not bothering to get up but made sure she gav a peck on his lips.Again,this was not a shock to anybody around except an old mallu lady who had probably come to bangalore to meet her kids.I was ready to give my seat to sid as i coudnt take anything more at that moment.But like a seasoned traveller,he took the seat behind me.As the bus was getting late,the travel agent provided everyone with some softdrinks.As i was not really bothered about the brand of soft drink i've,i kept sipping whatever he gave me.Suddenly i realised that our tom boy girl had deplugged her self and was starring at me as if she found her lost brother.As soon as i turned to her,she said she doesn like fanta and that she have only coke!!Just then i realised that i was having coke.Before i could offer my bottle to her,the bus came and we all boarded in no time.There she comes again to me in the bus asking for the same bottle.Infact i left the bottle at the lounge and then she gave me a scary look which made me feel like i am a culprit.Anyways both sid&tomboy took the seat just infront of me.It was a semi sleeper and everyone could see whats going on in the front seats.Everyone squeezed themselves into the blanket as it was way past 1am in the morning.But our kids took the next shock out,a MAC BOOK!Then i doubted again about their roots,this time shifting myself from pepsi to apple.I couldt take it anymore and was trying to get some sleep.It was then our tomboy shook me up&gave me the final shock with her questions,"Are u a frequent traveller to cochin,How far is fort cochin from mg road,thats the last stop?we are actually on our way to spend our vaccation at cochin and alleppey,hows the climate there now?"I was forced to ask her what she was upto and then came the reply,"pre university,st.josephs'college"..aaah,that gave me a sound 8hour sleep!!!

Hara Kiri!!!!!!!

It was jus another fight between me and the person whom I admire the most in my life. But one thing I noticed today off the umpteen meaning less words which we exchange during these tip off’s is about hara-kiri or rather killing one self or suicidal tendency as its very commonly termed..

I may not have ever thought in my wildest dreams of attempting such a blunder, but quite often people fear when they see their dear ones in screwed up situations. The fear of loosing him or her being in such a situation and considering the fact that the person won’t be able to cope with the situation and may end up giving his life rather than trying to recover from the situation.

Why is this sort of tendency on a high in our generation? Even with in our generation there’s a lot of difference in the way we think, live and behave and nurture relationships. The same is applicable to hara kiri too. I have seen umpteen youngsters who are on the verge of suicidal for silly reasons. And I know a few unlucky lot who have actually tried the same too. Though I have not pondered deep into it, what I have actually seen is the very same guys are very much glad in their life with a slightest trigger of a lively bubbly atmosphere. Whether they attain it in the presence of their loved ones or friends or locality is immaterial. But they do attain that. At the same time they go back to their abnormal mood in no time with a small problem that might really be never a problem if we think deep into it.

I am quite sure almost 80% of the people we interact with daily are a lucky lot. A lucky lot who got hands, legs, family and security to carry on a wonderful life. But then why the hell is people going behind love failures, family troubles, social insecurity and moolah issues as a solid reason to end their life..??

Life is precious and is not something that should be ended in a split second. There’s no problem that cannot be solved. The biggest gesture you can ever do to human kind is to love and help people in whatever way you can. Try consoling and make people feel better. Suicidal tendency is never a disease, it’s an infatuation, being in love with death!!! There’ll be no bloody in this world who don’t have a single person to share things with. Try sharing your mind to some one who can support and make you feel better. Things gotta change and we can change the way our generation think about our own life..
Cheers!!! Live life to the fullest…Take things lightly and learn to make others feel better. Well, nobody will be perfect in this world and may not be able to be with others when you yourselves are screwed up with your life. But there’s nothing wrong in sharing and consoling I guess…..

all dat glitters is not gold!!!!!!

Finally the sensex has touched the 15k mark.N the ITES sector played an inevitable role in that.But lemme tel u.Being a fresher just out of an engg college,a lot of wild guesses has been haunting me for the past few days.To start with I would like to point upon the drastic change undergone in the campus placement scenarios in colleges all over india.N to add to that almost 80% of the students are taken into the ITES sector,that too when there's almost more than a year to complete their course.

Rather than discussing the students point of view on it,i would like to point upon the fact that a very few students are interested or rather absorbed into the manufacturing and other diversified sectors.Now according to our presidents' views ours will b a developed economy by the year 2020.May b everyone thinks so seeing the present exchange rates,inflation rates n other stuffs like sensex.

Research has shown that the average age in a manufacturing firm in india is around 45.So that means those are the guys who were into the industry may b around 25 years back.N the fact is during those days people rarely deviate from their core branch of studies even after they are into work.But just think of the present sitaution.Irrespective of the college or the stream students are taken in bulk lots into software companies just based on their communicative and offcourse basic computing skills.

There are several reasons for such a drastic change.As u all know the low cost of labour n all the other factors hav helped grow these lucrative business in india.But just think of a sitaution when there's nobody to work with these manufacturing sector??At the present pace what i feel is gradually the manufacturing sector is gonna die burdening the entire import bill on the software sector.

But how far....???Jus like these arab nations r gainin from the petroleum industry,we can never expect software products and the out sourcing industry to cover up the bills.Dat too with the second fastest growing economy in the world,the dollar xchange rates r running low day by day.

So lemme hav a wild funny guess.Jus think that we r living in the year 2050 n there are no more manufacturing industry in our country.May be some scraps,but no production.Suppose we gotta buy a new pair of inner wear,jus like we customize dell laptops now we we would be customising our wears so that it wud be there at our doorstep the next day.hehehee.N rather than giving emphasis to languages in schools,teachers wud be busy teaching oracle n java or other blah blahs,,,,,lets pray for our future generation not to have such a fate!!!!!!

Am not against any particular industry.But lemme remind u, money is not the only thing that makes the essence of life.There's something more left.....

to b continued.....
