Dedications

All those who are born in the 60's are the only generation that has seen maximum evolution in technology and social life. The generation called Generation X. Advancement of technology where  one cannot explain to the so called Generation Y what was a pager or a telex machine or a telegram. There question would be 'Y' could you not SmS or 'Y' did you all need those bulky stuff when it could be done on a Smart Phone? Maybe that could be the reason they are called generation Y. 

Generation X has seen the fall of ruthless leaders and dictators and seen the rise of newer ones. The latest ones don't don the attire of dictators but camouflage themselves in goodness and humanity of democracy. Democracy has anyways failed practically all over the world. One clear example is India. A nation that had and has all the potential of being a great nation, today a nation trying to project a great leader. Where growth is measured with a statue built or the destruction of a religious place of worship and build another place of worship of the majority faith. To the extent dictated what you cannot eat? Wealth concentrated to a miniscule minority. Infact just 2 individuals?

Most of the leaders or followers of their leader are Generatin X better known as bhakts meaning religious followers of a political party, in India it is currently follower of an individual. Some are older than GenX that they resemble living fossils. Many of these followers are even educated, intellects and people in high position of society and media. What is strange, sad and heart breaking is none of this GenX want to gaze into the past where you don't need a crystal or if you need one, juxtapose history and see how it would look in the future. One clear example presently is the not just the down fall of Shiv Sena but it's burial into archives. A party that lost its name and symbol to a break away faction. Lost even the name and figure of its founder Bal Keshav Thackeray, fondly and respectfully called Balasaheb Thackeray. His son crying over spilt milk saying the party or the opposition needs his Father's name to stay relevant. Did Shiv Sena not need the name of Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj to stay in power?

Come next year 2024, the present supreme leader of the nation is confident that he will continue to rule (or ruin) the nation. What is surprising is GenX not having the vision to realise what are they leaving back for GenY. How will you will you reply to GenY when they ask 'Y' did you do this to us? Could you not gaze into the crystal ball to see this coming. Was it fear of an individual or was it andh bhakti (blind faith) or you just had no (crystal) balls?
