While reading an article recently about a reality show,where children of 10 or 12 years got fantastic recognition from the public and media,a feeling came in mind,when I was in this age,I actually knew nothing about outside stage.The only biggest platform for me was singing in my school,in front of so many children of my own age,few younger than me and few older.Today's youth are, I must say, at a time ten steps forward than my generation.Be it in any field and in any genre.
I don't say I am too old by saying "forward than my generation".But that's true.
When I walk pass my building,I find small kids in my apartment talk on topics that I wouldn't had dared to speak in that age.Well to be frank its not their mistake.They watch something on the idiot box and try to imitate that way.
I remember when I was in my school days,the only Television serial i watched with my parents was SURABHI.
English channels like STAR TV or STAR MOVIES were banned for me and my brother to see.But i guess,that was common thing in every household.I don't even remember that i ever watched Television after 8:00 p.m.
Now it just feels funny.It was same situation taking a "Computer" into focus.As a student ,it was fun to see Computer in school laboratory.When my first computer was bought,it had a CD-ROM.That felt like "WOW".Because till then I had seen computer's with floppy drives.When Internet was taken,the modem's that time had so strange and harsh musical tones.
That time maybe my parents and "their" generation must be feeling what i feel when i see today's generation.
Parents tend to give all comforts to their children that they never got as a child.That's a very good thing.But sometimes it might pose loads of problems.
Earlier,child born in rich families got all comfort and luxuries.Today,a middle class man can afford all that which he couldn't some years back.That's not wrong at all.But some times,so many comforts can make the child handicapped for rest of his/her life.
Without A.C,without bisleri water,without burger-pizza,that kid would surely become handicapped.Giving luxuries is good,but one must tell their child the ground realities of life too.They should be made aware of life outside the comfortable nest in which they are living.To some extent parents must be strict towards fulfilling demands of their child.
If the Gen-Next is getting all the facilities,let them enjoy,but to what extent they should,is the responsibility of older generations.Who has seen the future,but looking at the present situation amongst the youth,"GOD SAVE GEN-NEXT"
