I am BB but am fine with last three alphabets

Being physically fit and mentally agile , I am fortunate to have daily interaction and engagement with 5 generations . 


The breakdown by age of customers , colleagues and fanily members looks like this:

  • Seniors : Born 1922 -1945 : Veteran Successful customers , Family members .  
  • Baby Boomers:  born between 1946 and 1964. : Customers , All my school college and previous office work  mates , 
  • Gen X: born between 1965 and 1979/80 : Most of office managers 
  • Gen Y: or Millennials born between 1981 and 1994/6. 
    • Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old 
    • Gen Y.2 = 29-39 
    • Bulk of Office colleagues , Emerging entrepreneurs 
  • Gen Z: born between 1997 and 2012/15. : My daughter , Pets 


I am at ease with print media , Laptop , Netflix and mobile . But do feel lack of attention deficit in going through operating instructions or playing video games .


I empathise with  Generation Y who  become over-reliant with  attachment to their parents leading  to divorce  culture . 


I thrive with Gen Z in their daredevil spirit of breaking away traditions


What I fail to understand and get along with those who are Gen Y who believe and behave like Seniors and baby Bloomers . 


It’s perfectly acceptable for me to be branded by Gen Y and Gen Z as “boring,” “stubborn,” and “grumpy.” with enthusiasm to lecture of being  “ethical” . But I strive hard to be as energetic as them


I am proud to I say that I belong to  all musical genres from classical , Jazz , Indie to bollywood . From Miles Davis , Harry Belafonte to Ariana Grande , Rihanna , Dua Lipa 


I like bluntness and boldness of  GenZ asking ‘ why ‘ tell me ‘ and I also empathise with frustration of Gen X and enjoy to watch the surprise and shock on the face of Seniors .

10cc gulp and 24 hour high

I never had so much high in such a small dosage. Cough syrups do give you more punch and last more time than any alcoholic drink. I thought Benedryl topped that list till I had Dhasedyl yesterday. The sticker on the plastic bottle said ' Take 10cc three times a day, May cause drowsiness '. I had one dose of 10cc previous night and effects are still lingering. I didnt have courage to take two more doses. I didnt knock out immediately but did sleep well . When I woke up, I was groggy, listless and void of energy. The feeling continued through out the day. By evening I felt ravenous. I kept wondering what's so special about 'Dhasedyl' that uprooted my mental equilibrium. I had to know about this drug that so quickly and efficiently smothered my month old persistant cough and cold within a night but crippled and numbed my alertness and made me feel like a seasoned druggist. As I searched on ' Dhasedyl ' I read about its sideffects and the following experience o...

Madhav Julian and Indiver -प्रेमस्वरुप आई and Zindgi Ka Safar

When I hear this poetry of Madhav Julian sung by Lata - my eyeballs swell with a blob - as the poem reaches mid way. A fabulous rendition that seems to have bled through damaged heart of this man. Tears don’t come that easily to me. That prerogative belong to Rajesh Khanna in Hindi movies of Anand Amar Prem and Dharmendra in Satyakam . In this poem too tears don’t come because I miss my mother or think of her from a distant land. This poem resurrects a character who has raised in orphanage and became successful to get all the comforts and accolades that a man can strive for. Yet he has remained empty in his heart without the existence of his mother। He doesnt remember her face as she has left long before she made any imprint on his life. Today is my mother’s birthday and I thought it would be appropriate to write about this poem. There is another song – rather second stanza of the song – penned by Indiver in movie Safar also evokes similar anguish। Here the...
