Excellent take on “Generations”, and like wingie said me too wonder where I fit in :-)
But given a choice b/w capitalism, socialism or bipasha basu's jism I’ll choose bipasha basu's anyday ;-)

and in between all the drama, squeeze in two years to get a title M>B>A


Thats why we recall 'good old days', when there was scarcity of things and not thoughts.

bridge a gap that will keep widening. every generation has had their bridges to build, we arent in a different time.:)


i cld relate to bits of both, and felt it's a gap within....

nice! moving away from the third person short stories, but remaining as insightful and entertaining as ever.


I think my parents were caught in the gap, but leaned to the second gen(thinking wise..not technologically), and I am still wondering where I am.. since I dont have a life to balance, it doesnt matter.:)

cc · 4 years ago
