Thanks so much Rahul for your wishes on the book. Hope you find the time to read it and give feedback on it.

As for the post on ‘The family’ well, this is my take on it. Hope we don’t have to endure all this stress to going back to doing the same thing.

Yes Anirudh. It took a long time waiting. It does need support from good people like you to fly

Thats great, thank you. We must all pen a story even if it is for our own personal satisfaction and not worry about it not getting published. Will visit your blog too and comment. Thanks

Comment on Why the twain shall never meet? by Neeraj

Very well written Sujeet. Without your realising it almost became a blogpost itself. Yes, I understand your perspective too. But as we transit from the younger generation to the older generation (more true for you than me) we should try to remember this and not lose perspective and try hard to bridge that divide.

Very well written and composed.

Neeraj, between generations there always has and will remain a gap but have you ever wondered what never changes and I am more than sure will never change?
I guess it is “Aspiration” and ” Nostalgia”.

People of any generation aspire to have the best the time and technology provides them at that moment of time, so for our great grandfathers it would have been a horse or a horse driven carriage, what he would have aspired to have.
For next it would have a bicycle then a car etc.
So no matter to what generation you belong to your aspirations are limited to the “best of your time within your possibility and your ability”.
So in this matter nothing has changed deep inside the generation gap, some where on surface level you do see changes.

Now, as you meet your aspiration with difficulty, you find that you are already through the “TIME” and what you are left with is “NO TIME” and you are left all alone. Hence comes the “Nostalgia” is picture, as that is the only thing you are left with.

So what ever you did, what ever you saw and what ever you achieved and in whatever way you achieved it becomes important to you and here starts the clash of ego and generation gap.

So I feel it is not the technology, or gadgets or any thing which is the core reason of generation gap.

Sujeet

Your comment was inspiring too Jorawar and welcome to the blog. Hope you like the book as well. Do let me know the feedback. And, I have a feeling that you write as well (who else could be inspired by this piece). Let me know if I can be of help in any other way.

And thank you Jyoti for reading all my blogs and finding the time to comment on them.
