N or M ?

Okay, I am writing this article firmly keeping in mind the loud cries that will follow, which will ask for my head and ensure that I never write a blog again. Hey wait, I’m in the 21st Century now! Hurrah for the number 21! No more burning people at the stake!

As is typical of the summers only, there is something in the air besides the ultraviolet rays. No, it isn’t all the sweat, or the water vapour. Nor is it underwear hanging out on the window sills. And no, it is definitely not Paris Hilton sunbathing topless.

It is the unnatural scent of love in the air. People are so dependent on other people for their entertainment today, that it is leading to a gross rise in the number of so-called relationships. Most of these relationships are baseless and are just born out of frustration and boredom. I am not denying that people are really in love many-a-times, but most of them are as I said they are.

I am not claiming that I know a lot about love either, but I know a bit to get on with this blog. With an increasing trend of young people having those wireless demons with them, there is more freedom to chat with friends and the more-than-just-friends type. Hasty decision-making, immaturity, and also a lot of extreme stupidity characterize the current Generation X.

Most of these relationships are just an attempt to be cool. Example,

Cool Dude:- Hey man, my girlfriend just called me. We are gonna have sex tonight. Do you know how to unhook a bra ?

Nerdy Dude:- Me ? But I don’t know any girl, leave alone getting them out of their undergarments. * Contemplating a bit* Hey can you hook me up with any of your friends ? My weener just discovered new tricks the day before.

As I explained in the most accepted way of talking nowadays, it might sound pretty crude, but it is pretty much what the newest Generation talks about. A lot of this is attributed to the rise in technology, and a huge increase in the number of PCs today. And I did not mean Priyanka Chopras. A decline in the number of people reading good ole books is also a factor. A book can keep the mind absorbed much better than anything I know. It also helps you think, know life from the perspective of the authors, and the many conundrums in life. Even a simple fictional novel helps.

By now, you must have got the gist of the topic, and are well aware of the fact that I carry a permanent grudge against the society. The very society I live in, sometimes disgusts me to the point of irritation. People need to realize the real meaning of love, as I think I have, and not be too stereotypical or commercial about it. Maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I sure know one thing. This Generation is as deluded as a Liverpool FC fan is about his/her team.

Barring the last comment, I think people will spare me for my incessantly critical style of writing. And as for the last comment, people will wonder…

Arre but how ?

Shridhar :- Chaho toh sab kuch hai aasaan :P
