New Generation- Does it sound familiar?

Have you heard of the phrase,  "You won't get it, its a new generation thing"?
I guess, yes, if you were one of those rebellious teens who thought they knew everything, you might have blabbered it once in your lifetime to your parents, uncles, aunty or  grandparents.
I had so called dejavu experience recently.
A few months ago, my little cousin visited me.
To introduce her, i would say,  she was the one whom i have cradled,  changed diaper and given the sun baths, yada yada. Hope that helps. So, one day, i still remember the time and date this incident took place.
We were at mall, trying to get her a prom dress. And being a one shop person, anxiously, i asked her after visiting the 6th shop, what kind of dress was she exactly looking for? And the response i got, made me bite my nails. It was "Its a new generation thing, you won't get it".
 Don't they say you are never prepared for everything in this life.
Ok, so i was prepared hear this from my forth coming kids or grand kids, but from a cousin who is just 5yr younger to me??? Hell, No!
 My heart stopped beating for that moment and i gave a silent look in the mirror across.
I swear, i felt like sinking in the earth at that moment, but the mirrors around wouldn't let me escape the reality.
 I narrated this incident to my mom over the phone, and i could still hear her giggling over the fact and consoling me saying " You are getting old, my bachaa".


Tip to all who accompany their younger siblings for shopping: Never, ever ask what they want.

A trip to the mall

Its been 18 hrs that we have been out of power.

Well, it may sound like I am making

A fuss of it, but hell ya it is.

Imagine, surviving without the commodities of 21st century,

Internet, hot water, microwave, refrigerator, for 18 hours.

 If there is a term called momentary paralysis in medical world,

Then, I would say, I have been paralyzed since 18 hours.

And same is the case with my WiFi Generation,

Who feel paralyzed without internet.

Seriously, what do you do in such times?

Trekking and travelling sounds fun but at this moment

I need the damn internet to book my tickets too.

Wonder, how caveman managed to live.

But, I am sure if he was given a golden chance

 to be in the 21^st century of gadgets,

He would not go back either.

So, why do we have power outrage?

Well, Aunt Irene had to be reflected in some form, if not in disaster.

And trust me, if any one, any one at all, who has benefited from this

Are the Malls, coffee shops and any dining places which offer free Wifi.

As these are the only places where you can feel

that life had never been busy before this.

As if, God had invented a whole new world.

So, I resorted to take rescue in a nearby mall.

Don’t they say, destiny brings you where you avoid the most

Yes, I hate going to malls. Totally, against the concept of malls,

Why do we need so many options for a damn shirt?

But to my fate, I had to take shelter there today.

I was bit hesitant to avail the wifi services and pop my 15” lappy out,

But to my surprise I wasn’t the only one who had resorted to this path.

The curiosity to find a charging point on the faces of shelter seekers

was no less than a kid playing treasure hunt.

Seeing the giggling faces at the WiFi spot, felt like home.

At this moment i couldn't agree less to George Carlin on guilt trip:

"Guilt Trips: Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is."

PS:  We were out of power last week due to Irene and hence this post.

I guess , I was too overwhelmed to see the internet bubble turning blue on my screen that I stopped noting down things..

Zeba, XYZ and others, do bear with my temporary lag  of posting  due to travel and job search but keep posting yours :)
