We are generation Next.

They say the world is advancing day by day and so are the people, but are the people really as advanced as they ought to be?

I have recently shifted back to my hometown from NCR. I don't know if it is just me or others also have the same pattern of thoughts that I have when I see, Generation Next. Very aptly given the title, THE INTERNET GENERATION. My heart really cries when I see them, as when we were kids we wondered how being this cool would be like, and what they turned out to be is really pathetic. I am happy that we only dreamed of it while we had all the fun stuff to actually do.

You can see them more engrossed in gadgets than books. Forgotten how it feels like playing a real cricket match or for that matter any game coz they are competing with their virtual counterparts day in day out.

Popularity for them now means having endless people connected on Facebook ( more apt name FAKEBOOK) and no. of likes on their photos. Hukkas, cigarettes , drinks, pub , discos, expensive clothes  & gadgets have become their way of showing off how advanced and high society they are. No matter which lounge you enter, you can see a bunch of school going kids dressed in attires which we had to earn by being exceptionally well behaved and deserving in our times.

Now it's just skin showing skimpy dresses, excessive use of hair products , funky accessories which can makes you hip and happening. Kids these days have access to everything very easily but if we see to it, are they making good use of the resources?

When we were in school watching an 'A' grade movie was considered bad by our parents and society, but now all the movies are of such type and who checks the ID proof while giving the tickets, same goes for serving drinks and other alcoholic ecstasies. There are laws made but Gen Next's upbringing is such that breaking the law has become their habit.

Yes  some kids are an exception but then who talks about them. If you come back from a big city then they assume you do all the things they think you do. The pain is unbearable when you try to convince them that what they are doing is wrong, they will keep defending themselves and god they are too good at it.

Who is to be blamed?

 The parents who think giving money to the kids instead of love and time is more easy....

or

The kids who think by acting above their age and not enjoying the childhood days they will be more prepared for the days to come.

I have talked with a few and seriously they have no insight whatsoever about LIFE.... They are confused, don't know what they want to do and where to begin or infact when to stop and say its enough.

They always want more.....More money, more fame, more love, more intoxication.... what they don't know is that excess of anything is harmful.

Will they learn with time or will they change the time for once and for all?

If being stupid, drunkard, snotty, snobbish and doing things which you should be doing after 20 years from now is considered advanced , then I would give anything to be backward.

Generation Next is the future they say, I say if this is the future than let there be no future at all.
