A single sided story…!!!!!!

( Excerpts from an argument by an 18+ teenager belonging to the so called new generation  to a 50+ old generation member )

So… yes.. Mr. old generation uncle , you are right.. if you ask me to name the 3 things  without which i cannot live , i would say 1) ma mob 2) ma laptop 3) ma vehicle… !!but why would you despise me for it ?? i know ur’s was a generation who would have answered a similar questn by 1) ma dad 2) ma mom 3) ma sibling..  But see.. firstly we don’t treat our parents or any1 as“things”.. and.. for god’s sake.. we don’t live by eating our mob or sleeping on our laptops..!!  yeah.. probably  we spend a lot of time on it..!! But then again what do we use it for?? certainly we can’t call ourselves through a phone..!! There must be someone at the other end.. probably dad / mom or some friends..!! isn’t that a good sign for “ distance doesn’t matter but relationships do” ??  And the texting phenomena.. well.. can’t you just treat it as our generation’s replacement to your old nostalgic “letters”..?? ” letters posted ..received and replied in seconds..!! ” Even we prefer alphabets  more than voices at times..!!
And about the laptop thing..?!! Tell me , with how many of ur college friends , u still have a contact with?? not many na?.. i know..!! But i still have contact with the person who just happened to sit beside me in ma playschool for once.. yeah..obviously through fb.. but  isn’t dat a great thing to achieve?? See Mr. older generation uncle.. an “Endiran ” with a “heart” to take over the positions of men hasn’t yet arrived…. the gadgets we use mostly still  have one common aim.. “connecting people“….!!   And then the vehicle.. !! Do i have to remind you that it is dat same vehicle which carries us to our dearest person  ( whoever..!! ) in short time..!! Again…” distance doesn’t matter but relationships do” … !! now tell me.. isn’t ma answer a smarter way of telling the same answer as urs??
By the way Mr older generation uncle…shall i cut it short and make it as O.G uncle.. ?? ahh… now dat’s one thing dat ma generation is infamous for …. “using shortforms and misspelling words” ..!! uncle..  haven’t you ever felt the whole english language  illogical?? See the pronounciation and spelling of “bourgeois ” .. how can you relate it??
Or even “honour” with a silent “h“..!! i neva understood why you need  “h”  der if its silent..!! So when we use “u” instead of “you” we are just omitting a silent ‘y‘ and ‘o‘ for we hate wasting human effort..!! And we are not dyslexic people to misspell every single word .. there’s a certain meaning attributed to these misspelt words dat your dictionary words cant give.. !! “life” would always mean the dull boring life of someone while “lyf” has some charm attached to it…..!! And then though we misspell words .. we don’t really misinteruppt sentences..!!  ” i love you”  simply means “ i love you” when we use it.. while your’s was a time when ” i love you”  would mean ” i love only you” or ” i love you and noone else“.. isn’t it uncle??????

We maynot be reading as much books as you have.. but we “google”.. !!!!  After ol information is information .. be it on papyrus or monitor..!!

We don’t certainly find anything good with being arrogant or rude as u suppose…. we just  don’t know to pretend.. !!  Your’s was a time when “diplomatic ” was the most sought virtue.. But our’s is the time ” rebel” is termed as cool……!!!!!
You say , “we are the least bothered about what others would feel ..!!”  yes.. i agree.. but your’s was the time when “you were  least bothered about what you feel..!!” Either way it’s wrong na uncle??

So the bottomline is just that the world dint begin from you nor it’s gonna end with us.. there was a generation before you.. and there will be a generation after us..!! this is just a passing phase….!!!! As marx said “change is the only constant thing.. !! ” so move on….. ” Live and let other’s live “..!!

P.S : the 50+ gentleman too will speak his heart out… after a few years…….!!!!!! 😛
