A Lazy Sunday..... And Rush Hour

(Mail supposed to have hit the blogs on Sunday.... but happening only today......)

Yet another Sunday.... Woke up too early and then shot back into bed... then woke up too late for classes....
Stayed back home, much to the disapproval of my parents.... Come on, cutting on a C# class isn't a sin.... so long as I catch up later.... I smile.... And then frown..... Nothing worthwhile to do.....
Checked mails... nothing interesting in there....
Read the newspaper.... too much trivia and too less real news.... World's changing....
Been more than 2 decades that I have been around here and now, out of a jolt, I realize that things are changing??!?
Too much concentration on fashion and frolic....
I remember... just a week back.... I had this India Today edition in my hand and was sitting shocked.... on finding that the cosmetic market is now targeting the age groups between 12 and 18.... teens.... adolescents.... kids???
A wee little fear arose.... did that mean that really kids were into all that stuff that was said to be in there already?
Why would any sensible parent allow a kid as young as 12 to go in for laser hair removal? liposuction? facials? manicure? (man this had me baffled!) and plastic surgery?
What are we raising here?.... kids or miniature models?

Then it hit me.... yes, they were all models.... young ones.... actors.... at this age.... and it gave them a high to undergo these and get money and go more tech savvy and fashionable out into the streets.... headed to.....

Headed to nowhere?

And what happened to the kind of childhood that a decade back we had??

I can imagine what is going to happen next..... Everything is going to change.....

But what I can't predict is what the change is going to be.......
