Generation Gap

I know most of readers out there have heard once in their life the golden word "there's a generation gap". But is there really something as a generation gap ?
My mom often tell me "In our days we used to have so much fun as we didn't have TV's and mobiles to ruin moments" and the immediate response to it is "do you have pictures ?". But the lesson we learned from our parents is pictures doesn't always capture memories as best are those which are in memory till last breath and not pictures. My grandmother used to narrate stories of her childhood and all cousins of mine used to listen to her more seriously than even watching a cartoon time. So most of our parents fear the generation we saw shouldn't be extinct.

As love letter had it's own goosebumps not like us which has got replaced by the whatsapp messages and google images. Best approach to express any feeling is to be face to face and not on video call once a elderly person told me. India being a technical hub of world this days as teens here are innovators and are a skilled creator. While we are getting gadget savvy at the same time we are loosing the human touch of life which is gatherings and events.

"Things haven't changed it just moved from human to technology" My mom told me this. Gatherings turned group conversations, love letter turned whatsapp messages and google images, kiss turned into emoticons and discussing problems turned into status and stories. Using eraser to erase the pencils trace on that piece of paper is turned to backspace button on keyboard to erase the words in notepad and deleting the message on whatsapp.

What i learned was generations didn't have a gap all that got replaced was the medium to express.

A fallen story

It all began in a classic way with a girl and boy thing way He saw her in a room of people one day And he had a fall for her the moment that day He kept it in heart he kept his feelings low While someone walked to her and had her stole He smiled looking at her still everyday She just thought him to be a friend one way They often met and talked someday He never had guts to share his feelings anyway A day came by and she was not there that day He took his phone and texted her right away The spoke to each other for a while that day He had those feelings been popping up that day He was scared to loose her by telling her any day He was scared to show his feeling for her everyday Days passed by and they happened to be close He took some courage and told her the truth The had a moment of silence and she smiled that day Guy just had a cut knowing he was dumped that day He knew things were so and never gonna be okay So he kept being silent and just being a friendly way Sti...

A Fatherly Memory

Eyes are closed and mind ain't at peace It just feels broken and can't ease Looking at those memories i had Looking at our pictures which made us laugh Those moments which made us who we are Those lessons you taught me atlast Your absence does hurt a lot indeed Your presence is what i need at top of it Looking at your picture eyes shed tears now All this thinks i have achieved feels worthless now I never had a hand to pat my back I never had a hand to guide me in dark path Those days are being missed when we sat together Days when we discussed​ until mom yelled over Times when you used to caress my head before i fell asleep Times when you made me learn to be a better man to be Things can't replace your absence for me Life just never gonna be complete without you for me. -Nitish

I didn't get that opportunity!

We often face this question when either promotion or during hike cycle. Don't we think, "why them and not me?". I was once told "If there is something out there which is meant for you, you would get it sooner or later in your life". But as we grow and start our corporate life we learn a new modified version of that statement, i.e. "If you want something go ahead and either fight for it or earn it, but don't just sit there and hope for it to fall in your lap". During one of our recent office meeting our manager came and told us, "i know most of you are frustrated and think you are not getting what you want. But if you are jealous because someone else got it by getting their hands dirty don't regret it because you lack the skill to get things you need so stop complaining and better work your way up". So this article is not to motivate you or make you feel you are worth it. But it is about why you been failing at every step and buil...
