GENERATION GAP!!!

If I ask you to tell me the name of person with whom you can talk for hours, with whom you can share every single moment of your life anytime, in any situation than you will count lots of names but please concentrate on the word “ANYTIME”. Just think are you always feeling the same free and relaxed secured with the person you are talking about? Practically no. Sometimes a person feels, he is not comfortable while talking with a particular person and he avoids that person. Many times it happens that we can't talk properly with our family members, elders and younger too…
Some days back I was sitting with my friend and he was so much disturbed because of a fight with his dad…He was arguing that communication gap between my friend and his father is increasing day by day…That time I was just speechless because he was comparing communication between A son and his father. He was blaming his grandfather for the same. He was arguing that because of his grand father he and his father are upset and fighting. I reached home and got lost in thoughts…Was it a valid reason from him? Was his grand father only the reason? ”COMMUNICATION GAP” and “GENERATION GAP”…these two words are very much famous in youngsters today. Mom-dad resist me in the entire thing and it’s because of my grandfather. What he was trying to say is; His grandfather is very much narrow minded and so his father is. Generally our grand parents are having very different thinking and point of views with respect to us. It’s a common thing. Let me give you an example. Compare your self with a student who is studying in same school, same collage in which you were studying few years back. Compare your way of thinking with him and you will get the answer and reasons of such kind of variations and gaps.
He was arguing that he wants a big home a long car and his father is not interested because of his grandfather. His grand father argues in small things and because of his grandfather he is not getting things he actually wants and deserves. I was shocked when I heard this. It’s not a case of communication gap or generation gap. When I was taking tuition; several times it happened that my students were arguing and not agreeing with my points. They were having their own different thinking and views as compared to me. So it’s a case of different thinking rather than communication gap. What I think is your thinking and behavior is very much dependant on your surroundings, your friend circles. It’s very much reliable on life style you’re living.
Present is always well manufactured and well maintained than past. What you or I want in my future? Better life and better surroundings. What is the meaning of “better”. Its nothing but comparatively more matured and more flexible, more comfortable life with compare to the present life.
my friend’s wishes I think were because of his friend circle …May be his friends belong to high class family and because his father is not fulfilling his wishes he is not happy…I think he should not blame his father or grandfather for anything…We generally compare our present with someone’s present and compare our past with someone’s past…We can dream but we can’t say it’s must for you to fulfill my wishes…
Conclusion is we should live according to our culture not according to the trend…It may possible that your friend is not facing problems which you are facing but it doesn’t mean his family is better than yours…And yes a father is a bridge between grandfather and grandson…So its parent's duty to keep away their young ones from some family problems or better say misunderstandings…Because a baby will speak what he is listening…
That’s it….
