Ours is considered as a generation who thinks lot more than our forefathers in most cases. We might have often heard these worlds flying around at normal households nowadays. "Dad, you don't understand. This is generation gap". Is there really such a big generation gap? I don't buy that.
There is a gap but it is not because of generation, it is just a matter of thought. We consider sometimes ourselves more intelligent than the so called wise ones with some grey ones on their head.
We need a change in thought process and this change can only come once both the parents and todays youth get access to same news, same channels & same people. Even though this is a tough thing to achieve, our social networking sites are doing a good job in doing so. New age parents are friends with their children's friends in social networking and can easily track the mental growth of their loved ones by the nature of their posts.
But are they sharing the same news feeds? That is where our society needs drastic change. Parents should get grow younger to enjoy what their kids enjoy to understand what news they access.
Consider the case of India, other day I saw a video in Facebook which shows brain drain examples and Indian kids showing their thrill in getting a job abroad. In India people want to stop this. But is that really possible without creating a thinking generation rather creating a industrialism ready generation?
New age parents, teachers & NGO's should together pledge to educate the youth to understand the importance of growing a country rather than growing the weight in their own wallets. Countries like Japan, US, Singapore, Korea & China are examples of such growth. Parents should stay put on the fact that for them more than their kids growing richer want to see them making India grow richer.
People should apprehend how they can together grow a rich India rather than waiting for others to grow for them and meanwhile mourning on what they have. We definitely needs to stop brain drain with all your help.

We says sometimes about generation gap.. but being the latest generation , sometimes we also does not accept changes. In some cases we never think out of the box... It applies even to educated persons ... it's not so easy sometime just to bring a change..
