Generation Y ?!


I am worried about today’s generation.    

    Haha! Look! The granny is giving gyan! Must be high on stuff!

Wachya' sayin ??!!?


Coming back..

WE, we feel we are better off today, than our parents. We have better understanding of things around us, be it other person’s ill intentions or our own ways to get a situation in control. We feel we have an experience worth a mention and we can govern our own lives; in fact, live it the way that suits us. We feel more independent, and hence more confident.

The way most see it but won’t accept it is that we are vulnerable. We sniff falsehood like gas leakage from an LPG cylinder. We fail to trust again and again. We maintain personal distances from people, but get them together just for some selfish company. We are scared to be alone but we also stay alone to avoid people. We can’t give favors so we don’t ask for any. Most of us don’t want to be under the debt of favor bank. We happily say ‘See you soon’, but know inside that that time won’t come anytime sooner. We just stay happy in planning things than actually following that plan and achieving something out of it. We are like cow dung, a substance considering itself to be a fuel but never burning the whole lot, mostly wasting away.

Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat et cetera, now seems to be a mode for shy people, who can’t come face to face and say a hello, but pop up in a chat, if they hook someone online. These have become platforms to reach people but more to create distances between many, especially between ‘I’ and ‘myself’. We are, well lost!

                                                                                                                                                       Image Source

Fact: We are lazy. While I know you all quietly agree to it, I present my example to abstain you from feeling bad alone. It took me 1 hour to reach to my laptop to write few words, though it was just an arms distance away from me, though I am glad the effort is paying off.


                                                                                                                                                    Image Source

Fact: We blame. Because blaming self, hurts the esteem and lowers the confidence. Study a friend around you, a colleague, and a known person for few months if you need a proof. Oh! And don’t forget to study yourself too.



Fact: We pretend to be guilty. What an easy way to win over! ‘Ok! It is my mistake only, I only did wrong. I shouldn’t have cared so much, which is why now I am suffering’

Fact: We are pretentious. We think and make up our own cloud of pretentions. ‘She must be taking her revenge on me, now I told her the truth.’ ‘He cut the call deliberately, I know why!’

Fact: We are fooling ourselves. ‘I will quit smoking, I will! It is easy only, from 10 to 2 cigarettes per day.’ ‘I will meet my friends next weekend, after all where will they go anyways, today I can rest.’’ I will save money tomorrow, what difference will one day make, and now only is the time to expend.’

Fact: We have Trust issues! After what we prove to others, as a person first, should we really think of giving others chances to trust us.

 But most of all, we are RUNNING! We are Running, from ties, from bonds, from responsibilities, from attachments, from favor banks, from being US!

We are portraying a ‘perfect’ us outside, oh how empty we are on the inside, how empty is our soul, how sad we are, though we laugh and smile everyday over beer, parties, lunch tables and in our offices. How sad…

All we want is some company, some stories to tell, some to listen, some to make our own and it is surprising how frantically we are doing it all in a wrong way, making it complicated.

  • Buying a dress and feeling happy in that moment and when you wear it to show off.
  • Purchasing a car and driving everywhere, every day to feel your ability, power and confidence.


Materials that get tarnished, even before a human lifetime completes, are strangely more in demand and trend these days.

  • Sex becomes an interesting conversation, a much more interesting affair and love becomes whiff from a romantic Bollywood cinema?
  • Economy and Market still don’t effect the number of cigarettes you smoke in a day, or the weekend alcohol plan, it is but a mode to gain empathy in financial crises.
  • Blaming the country, government, and corruption while you are throwing that mint cover, on the footpath, after a smoke?
  • Having pride in what you have, letting others down, and pointing at their glitches?

Doesn’t something inside us itch and indicate a red-signal, a jump-wave? Like - ‘Hey!


                                                                                                                                              Image Source


You! Yes You! What are you doing huh?!’  
Offering a piece of word/good wishes/advises halfheartedly because that makes you look good? Don’t you think the happy birthdays on you facebook account or some good looking horoscopes are a fool’s paradise? Don’t you feel robotized in this world? Who are you now? What you think about yourself? What can you change? How are you are different from the crowd around?

Look! Everyone around is in the same boat! Don’t you know, you need to recognize first yourself and then your value? What is your gift, what is your power in this world? Do we read ourselves yet?

Life is not a competition, it is a game of self-realization, without looking out for rewards.
                                                                                                                                                    Image Source

It is terrible that we are losing the connection with our conscience that we are not trying to establish it back. We are slowly shutting our human side down and waking up the animal inside us. How negatively pleasing to know our kind is just multiplying somewhere now.




Ta da the Bla Bla talks come to an end.. Thanks for the time

Marijuana_Nation!


    

  












The other day I was going through this post on facebook on a page called The Frustrated Indians.  The topic of the post was Marijuana Nation.  Regardless to say the topic dealt with Marijuana,  Bhang, Cannabis all of which are synonyms to  drugs. Instead, there the topic dealt with more of    benefits rather than the ill effects of the drugs.
 The bhang was associated with Lord Shiva,an element to calm down his unleashing and uncontrollable powers. One of the comments on the post that grabbed my attention read as ‘Man made alcohol and God made weed. Whom shall we trust?’ Apparently people have made up their minds, thinking that if God has got a substitute for leisure then why can’t we. Apart from giving them absolutely no reason to laugh whole heartedly marijuana as they claim relaxes them physically and mentally. With its increased usage among students just before studying, they have to say that it helps them concentrate better and so it does but, Do they remember that it damages the memory retention power as well. Yeah! Absolutely they know, but that is in a long run of time, we will see to that later, out comes the reply in defence. What about the damage to the lungs, the brain cells? I have often asked such people. Guess what! They have a copy of an article in TOI about the yearly deaths caused by drugs which show the number of deaths caused by weed as nil.


I am speechless! There is no good reason why they should shun its usage. So in the name of Bhole Baba ka Prasad or Baba Ji ki Buti, people especially college students, are drawing breaths through their chillums and laughing the smoke out, and there seems no way to stop them.

A MATTER OF FACT

Research suggests that there is a relationship between academic performance and adolescent substance use. Students who use alcohol or drugs have been shown to be at greater risk for performing poorly in school, and vice versa.1-4 The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) asks youths aged 12 to 17 who reported being enrolled in school during the past year about their average grades during the last semester or grading period.5 NSDUH also includes questions on the use of alcohol and marijuana during the month prior to the interview. Binge alcohol use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion (i.e., at the same time or within a couple of hours of each other) on at least 1 day in the past 30 days.

This report examines the differences in self-reported academic performance (i.e., average grades in the last semester or grading period) among students aged 12 to 17 by gender, age, and substance use. All findings are annual averages based on combined 2002, 2003, and 2004 NSDUH data.
