I don't define generation by age! I define generation by time. And by that I mean, at this point of time we all live in the exact same generation as I am.
And so, we are a generation that forgets. We use the four letter word completely in and out of context for every single issue that comes up in our popular consiousness; So we abuse, we crib, we yell and get really riled up about issues and then about five minutes later we forget....and we move on!
The classic case in study is the horrible mumbai attacks! The whole India came up and said "Enough is enough - We want answers"; and by the time the politicians even thought about an answer we changed the questions. The rape case and the corruption issue followed! Then? The world cup win and Priety Zinta - Ness wadia case distracted us. And the answers never came.
Do we really want answers? I really am beginning to doubt it! I really think this generation (And by that I include me also) just does not 'want' the solutions. Read that word 'want' again. We are happy where we are; The emotional people we are, we just use these issues to vent out frustrations! Just like the classic wife, who never wanted the solutions.
When the CM was convicted; For once when the answer came, to the question that was shouted off from the roof tops and the streets corners......"We look the other side and wish the answer had not come!"
We, as a generation does not forget! We just don't care!
